I heart Finnish textile and clothing design company Marimekko! Maija Isola’s Slavic-inspired ornamental Näsiä and Maija and Kristina Isola’s jointly designed dotted Kiss-kiss are the patterns in Samu-Jussi Koski’s childrenswear collection. Comfortable and beautiful cotton outfits for kids.
Maija Isola’s bubbly Vissy pattern (above) adorns a range of easy-care jersey garments in Mika Piirainen’s Autumn 2008 collection. The range features everything from baby clothes to T-shirts for teenagers.
The collection’s two flowered sateen dresses are every little girl’s dream come true. The handsome Rosetta print is a variation on Maija Isola’s Krysanteemi design from 1959.
Some adorable pieces for Mom too!

Badgley Mischka wow’d New York on December 10, 2008 with their breathtaking Pre-Fall 2009 collection. The dresses were stunning and beautiful - beaded, paillette, and feather-dusted cocktail dresses and gowns.
A sequined tank dress sashed high on the waist and a ruffled halter gown in the must-have shade of marigold were two highlights.
Isn’t this new cocktail suit (below) incredible? Designers said that it was made specially at their customers’ requests.
Simply put, James Mischka shared, “we just did pretty clothes that people want to wear.” And they did just that. It’s not fair that the ENTIRE collection is incredible.
“Oh Santa? I have a few more to add to my Christmas list….”

What could be better than overseeing a fashion powerhouse that has ads with starlets like Nicole Kidman and Keira Knightley coveting its products?
Nothing.
45-year-old Maureen Chiquet is the lucky lady heading up Chanel. According to Portfolio magazine she helped make the estimated $14.8 billion company “arguably the single most valuable fashion brand.”
Chiquet has humble roots at working for L’Oreal in Paris and later Gap in 1988. Later she moved within Gap Inc. to help grow the Old Navy brand from 35 to 850 stores. Next she she became president of Banana Republic in 2002.
One year later she was at Chanel.
Since joining the house of interlocking C’s , Chiquet has put runway shows on iPhones; launched ads with a near-nude Keira Knightley; and hired starchitect Zaha Hadid to design a pavilion for a Chanel exhibit on a global tour starting this year.
Her inspiration is founder Coco Chanel whose “audacity and confidence give me the sense that there are no barriers as long as one follows one’s heart.”

Lovely Country starlet Carrie Underwood graces the December 2008 issue of Elle Magazine.
This Carnival Ride sweetheart is the most successful of the American Idol winners and embodies the AI allure - a celebrity not only like us, but actually one of us.
“It’s the Cinderella story,” Underwood shares, “You’re plucking someone out of nowheresville, wherever they may be, in some job that they probably don’t like, or going to school, or not doing anything…. People can look at that person and be like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m a college student just like her—she’s from a small town, I’m from a small town.’ People can really relate to that.”
