Sophie Theallet Designs for Nine West

Feb 1, 2011 @ 2:41 pm

French designer Sophie Theallet teamed up with Nine West to create a line of shoes, bags and jewelry for spring that’s inspired by both her homes—her native Paris and her current city, New York. Each item includes striped fabric (the bags have striped lining), which is her signature, as well as a big spring trend. “I made stripes for the dress Michelle Obama wore, so stripes for me is not a trend, it’s something that’s part of the Sophie Theallet collection,” the designer (inset) told us at a preview of her collection, which she created with Nine West creative director Fred Allard. “It’s great because stripes are what’s going on in fashion—it’s perfect for now. Obama can wear these. Every woman can wear this.” The Sophie Theallet for Nine West collection ranges from $36 to $109, and lands in stores and online this May. See a preview of the collection in the gallery.

Julianne Moore for Talbots: First Look!

Feb 1, 2011 @ 10:28 am

Julianne Moore is the new face for Talbots’ spring campaign, taking over for supermodel Linda Evangelista, who posed for the brand last fall. Today, Moore’s new Talbots campaign launched—check out an exclusive image (shown). “Julianne Moore was a very natural choice for us because she is a woman who is in her 40s, and is strong and confident,” said Michael Smaldone, chief creative officer for Talbots. And the actress is a fan of the brand; she left the photo shoot with belted suede shorts ($199), shown here, and a cardigan. (Also pictured: Parisienne burlap jacket, $89.) “She commented several times that it wasn’t the Talbots she knew or remembered,” Smaldone told us of working with Moore on set. “Of course, Talbots still stands for classic American sportswear, but now there are things that she would wear.” Tell us: Where is your favorite place to shop for sportswear?
