Nicki Minaj Designing Clothes Now?

Well, for her perfume bottles anyway. 

Nicki Minaj's new clothing line Couture by Minaj is officially here! But outfits only come in busty perfume bottle size. Sad face, we know. As it turns out, these aren't new bottles, y'all—these are outfits Nicki designed to be put on the bottles. Yeah, read that again. Outfits for bottles. Bottles wearing outfits. Half outfits to be worn by armless, legless inanimate containers.

It all became clear on the Nicki Minaj Beauty Facebook page where they said, "To celebrate the first Pink Friday on 15th March you can get your hands on a collection of Couture By Minaj outfits to dress up your Pink Friday bottle. These limited edition outfits have been designed in partnership with Nicki as a special treat for UK Barbz." Wait, WUT? *rubs eyes* This collection of bottle outfits actually has a name? Yep! It's called Couture by Minaj. Awesome. In the first Duchess of Pink "look", Nicki was inspired by her Harajuku Barbie ensemble from last spring, which had a lace-up corset and pink beret. Then, in the purple and yellow Starships Minaj hooded perfume bottle "ensemble," she took inspiration from her out-of-this-world NBA performance outfit from last year. For the Whip It Like Minaj "outfit", she decided to have her perfume go balls-out badass in a gold studded leather cap and vest.

Love the looks? Want a full size line from Minaj?

SNEAK PEEK :: Rihanna's River Island Collection [VIDEO]

(Courtesy of River Island) 

Rihanna has already teased a few images from her forthcoming River Island collaboration on Instagram, but today, we got to see the pieces in action.



In this clip, originally posted on Vogue UK's website, models flit in and out of the the pop star's design studio, while she expounds on fashion.

"Every time I saw something on a rack there was something I wanted to do to it to change it," Rihanna says.

So, judging by the clothes in the clip, when she saw a t-shirt, she probably thought, "Hmm, that would look much better if it were completely backless."

And when she saw a tank top, she was like, "Needs more side-boob."

And when she saw a girl in a black skirt, with a denim jacket tied around her waist, she thought, "What is the point of being able to untie that jacket, and put it on?"

But, the most intriguing article of clothing in this clip is still just a sketch.

The EXACT Nail Polish From Chanel's Couture Show Is Available Now!

(Photo via Chanel.com)

Unless you're good ol' chums with Karl Lagerfeld, it's pretty darn near impossible to get your hands on the polishes from Chanel's runway shows immediately—it usually takes several months, if ever, for the coveted colors to hit shelves.

But lucky for us, some nail polish fairy Godmother far, far away heard our cries (or you know salespeople, either/or) and somehow the exact hue from yesterday's Chanel's Couture Spring/Summer 2013 show—Emprise, a pretty neutral coral—is available now!

The polish is part of Chanel's limited edition "Precieux Printemps Trio" collection ($27 each), which also includes Accessoire (a burnished brick red) and Fracas (a tangy pink).

So ladylike, no? They're certainly a refreshing departure from spring's typical brights and pastels—and definitely much more wearable than, say, the hungover-beauty-queen-esque hair and makeup look from the couture show.

CONFIRMED: Kate Spade New York Launching Lower-Priced Line, 'Saturday'

This summer, we brought you the news that Kate Spade New York was about to launch a new brand called Saturday—a line "more casual than anything [Kate Spade] has done before," according to then-secret sources. Well, today we can confirm that Kate Spade is, indeed, launching a new label called Saturday—and that it will hit stores this spring and, also, will be awesome.

According to a statement released by the company just after midnight this morning, the new lifestyle brand will include clothing—dresses, outerwear, denim, casual separates, knitwear, and swim—accessories including bags, jewelry, timepieces, shoes, and eyewear, as well as beauty products, home goods, and tableware. Prices will range from about $25 for home products to $30 for jewelry, $50 for watches, and an average MSRP of $90 for clothing items.

"Through ongoing research, we saw an opportunity in the market to engage a new customer base—one that aspires to be a part of the Kate Spade New York brand," said CEO Craig Leavitt. "Kate Spade Saturday is born from the core values of Kate Spade New York, but is realized in a new and exciting way for this younger customer."

Kate Spade Saturday will launch in Japan this February at saturday.jp and at a brick-and-mortar store in Tokyo. The brand will launch in the United States online at saturday.com in the spring. Look for a sneak peek at the products (before spring officially hits) on fab.com in 2013!

Nicki Minaj's Perfume Bottle Will Look like Nicki Minaj

There's been a ton of speculation this week that Nicki Minaj will join Mariah Carey as a new judge on American Idol. So when Minaj tweeted last night that she'd announce a "surprise" for fans this morning, no one expected it would be a fragrance launch.

With a picture of a Minaj-shaped bust bottle, Minaj introduced her upcoming perfume, dubbed "Pink Friday" (like her album), and set to launch in September. See the resemblence?

Nasty Gal, a carefully-curated fashionista-favorite e-commerce site, is finally launching its own in-house label.

The site will roll out the launch slowly this month. Today, Nasty Gal is also unveiling its denim collection, which features "The Kink," above, a $88 high-waisted skinny jean that comes in seven different colors. In a few weeks, the site will also reveal its shredded shorts and low-rise skinnies. Finally, later this month, Nasty Gal's full 32-piece collection will be available online. The complete collection retails between $58 and $400 for a leather jacket.

“We’re evolving quickly from providing a highly curated shopping experience and assortment of hand-picked brands and items to designing and developing our own exclusive branded products," Sophia Amoruso, Nasty Gal's founder and chief executive officer, told WWD.

“We’ve been a retailer up to this point," she continued. "Our customer is so loyal, and our natural next step is to curate from perception to production for her."

After the label launch, Nasty Gal will also release a bi-annual print magazine, appropriately dubbed Super Nasty.

In other words: big things are happening for the little online shop that could. Check out the collection's video debut, which looks like it came straight out of the early 90s:

'America's Next Top Model' Launches Fragrance

America's Next Top Model, known for launching the modeling careers of lovely lithe young women, has now launched a fragrance. The new scent, Dream Come True, was inspired by what it might feel like to win the show.

Hatchbeauty, the team of noses behind the ultra-feminine blend, stated, "If you were announced as winner of the show, it would be an optimistic, sweet moment... In thinking about the customer, we know she loves fantasy. That is what the show is all about."

Dream Come True combines fresh top notes of red currant, honeydew and pink freesia along with heady middle notes of Amazonian lily, plum blossom and empress peony. The bottom notes of blondewood, Tahitian vanilla, pink sugar and sparkling musk add sophistication and richness. The formulation, Hatchbeauty described, has "a very sweet, ethereal sensibility."

During the season finale in October 2011, Lisa D'Amato was announced as the show's winner and also the face of the Dream Come True advertising campaign. Going forward, future winners of America's Next Top Model will become involved with the fragrance, currently available at Target stores and select Regis locations.
