Matthew Williamsom Debuts Lower-Priced Line!

Jul 31, 2011 @ 12:00 pm

Matthew Williamson debuted his diffusion line MW by Matthew Williamson this week, at a party co-hosted by his model muse Dree Hemingway and past collaborator Belvedere. “I wanted to make a collection that’s more centered around daywear. There’s no red carpet, jet-set sensibility,” the designer told InStyle exclusively. “It’s essentially a younger collection for a girl that’s a little kooky, a little more eccentric.” The line, which is in Matthew Williamson boutiques now, includes metallic party dresses, sexy jumpsuits and loads of separates in the designer’s signature prints, and prices range from $150 for belts to $660 for gowns.

Rachel Zoe on Designing Baby Clothes

Jul 31, 2011 @ 10:00 am

In ABC’s Mommywood, Rachel Zoe lamented the lack of cute boys’ clothes on the market, and offered up a solution of her own: a kids’ clothing line! “Let me tell you, there’s going to be a lot of boys’ clothes in my line,” Zoe says in this video clip from the special. We already thought baby Skyler Berman was the luckiest kid on the playground after his mom tweeted a picture of his first Louis Vuitton bag, and now we can’t wait to see the chic kiddie clothes Zoe dreams up!

Update: We caught up with Rachel Zoe at Super Saturday this weekend, where the new mom cleared up her Mommywood quote. “I can’t imagine that wouldn’t be exciting and fun for me to do,” Zoe said of designing a kids’ line. “I wouldn’t say no, but I’m not doing it today.” Zoe did confirm that she’s adding a new category to her clothing line, “I think jewelry is next,” she said. “For sure. That’ll be next year.”

Get the Look: Olivia Wilde’s Classic Smoky Eyes

Jul 30, 2011 @ 2:00 pm

Olivia Wilde’s romantic gown and simple hair at the premiere of Cowboys and Aliens in San Diego inspired her makeup artist Melanie Ingelssis to focus on her eyes. Working with Chanel, Ingelssis started by rimming the entire eye, waterline included, with a soft kohl pencil and then applying a shimmering cream shadow to the lids as a base. Next, she defined the outer and inner areas of with a black shadow for a sexy, smudgy look. “The trick to a beautiful smoky eye is blending, so I took a brush and with one motion, blended the upper and lower colors together,” says Ingelssis. Curling Wilde’s lashes and adding two coats of mascara was the finishing touch to elegant and timeless look. Click “See the Photos” for more celeb eye makeup tips!
