Fashion News: Victoria's Secret has competition coming...Adore Me

Uh oh looks like Victoria's Secret has some tough competition coming for you number one spot!

Lingerie ecommerce site Adore Me has already raised $8.5 million in a Series B round of funding. Morgan Hermand-Waiche, CEO and founder of Adore Me said people are tired of high prices and slow-fashion from Victoria's Secret, so they are following the same fast-fashion formula as Zara, which is working in their favor.

They are also using the same ecommerce setup as the BeachMint brands. You know with the monthly fee {avg, $39.95} and free shipping both ways {US only}, but anyone can purchase the VIP monthly membership.

It's funny how Adore Me launched in early 2012 and has already raised a total of $11.2 million, with $500,000 seed money helping them get off the ground.

That's some serious dough, but do we really think this is big competition for Victoria's Secret?

Prada’s 2013 Spring Menswear Campaign

Prada seems to be starting a trend of casting actors, instead of models, for their menswear collections. Dane DeHaan, Benicio Del Toro, Harvey Keitel and Aaron Taylor-Johnson have been enlisted for its 2013 spring campaign. David Sims captured the blue steels of the {legendary and up-and-coming} actors in a black and white shoot...perfect for showing off that sharp Prada tailoring that we love.

 

Check them out...

Gary Oldman, Garrett Hedlund, Jamie Bell and Willem Dafoe were cast last season in Prada's fall 2012 campaign and runway show. Though none of the guys from this campaign strutted the runway for Prada’s spring 2013 show in Milan, we believe they would totally rock it!!!

Trend Alert!!: Fall Hair

People Style Watch gives their take on the top 7 Hot Fall Hairstyles {Fall September issue}. The styles  are all about pretty and flirty as well as taking some chances with hair accessories. Here are the ones I think I’ll be wearing this Fall:

Sleek Ponytail - It’s nice to do a ponytail to add sophistication to your look. Everyone can do a ponytail…short or long.  When all fails, try placing it at the nape of your neck or on the crown of your head. Both styles give off different vibes so play with it.

Full Bangs- personally I am thinking about going back to this look.  This is an instant makeover {refresher}.  PSW is insisting on bangs that stop below the brows. I like to see my browns when I have bangs, but change is good! You know your face…better at first, to cut too long then too short.

 

Braided Up-do's – I want to add twisted up-do's too.  Braids are more structured and add a sense of edge. Twist add a sense of softness depending on the look you’re going for…you’ll know which one, I’m sure!

....next post I will show some kool hair accessories for my Fashion Finds post!

Emma Roberts Inspired Sunglasses by Nanette Lepore

Women's Wear Daily recently reported that Luxottica and the Council of Fashion Designers of America have tapped Nanette Lepore as the latest designer for the 2012 Vogue Eyewear Design Series.

Lepore tells WWD that she was inspired by young actress Emma Roberts while creating the cream-colored cat-eye sunglasses.

Muse Emma Roberts

"I looked to glamorous actresses from the '20s to the present while I was designing and fell in love with Emma,” Lepore says of the starlet. “She’s chic, youthful, and confident in her style. I really wanted to make every element of my sunglasses unique, from the metallic cyan packaging to the inlaid gold filigree on the frames."
