Mulberry Launches Alexa Bag

Dec 30, 2009 @ 10:00 am

One doesn’t reach full stylesetter status until a bag is named after them—now former MTV host Alexa Chung can be added to the style pantheon with her very own Mulberry bag! An updated version of the brand’s iconic Bayswater bag, the covetable Alexa comes in a variety of colors, trims and sizes, from an oversized version in deep violet ($1,250) to a clutch in bright pink leopard print ($695). While the bag has been seen on Chung’s arms for months, you (and we) must wait until early 2010 to get your hands on it.

Lindsay Lohan Expands 6126 Line

Dec 30, 2009 @ 10:00 am

Lindsay Lohan’s 6126 leggings line is ready to branch out with a full collection. Starting this fall, the line will include 100 pieces ranging from its signature leggings ($18) to a leather jacket ($300). “The vision is to offer customers…items that go back with leggings: blazers, dresses and tops,” 6126 principal Kristi Kaylor told WWD. Lohan, who continues to serve as artistic advisor to the Ungaro brand, has been hands-on with the expansion. “She’s intimately involved from Day One,” said Kaylor. “She doesn’t let anything go into production without trying it on.”
