Matthew Williamson will launch a men’s capsule collection next month. The line, which features tees, cashmere sweaters and silk scarves in the UK designer’s signature prints and vivid colours, will expand to a seasonal collection. [Vogue UK]

Lady Gaga has been named creative director of a specialty line for Polaroid. You may be scratching your head as to why, but just think about the innovation: a camera that adjusts for those wearing an eye patch, or, as our Halifax blogger Nadine suggested, one “that only works when you happen to have forgotten to put on your pants.” [Racked]

Oh, but Jason Wu is also going to be designing cameras, so maybe this is going to turn into a thing. The designer will launch a line of digital point-and-shoots at New York Fashion Week next month. [Styleist]

Matthew Williamson’s Spring 2010 collection contained barely a hint of the flowy boho that made him famous. The parade of skinny pants, sharp chartreuse jackets and body-con dresses in arty prints and wild colours–that much hasn’t changed–was harder and more structured than previous efforts. Williamson also seemed thrilled to be showing at home–that way, he says, his parents can make it to the show. Video after the jump.

Speaking of Christopher Bailey, a Q&A! [Hint]

Since we find Eminem and Bruno equally irritating, we’re officially neutral on the bum incident at the MTV awards. [NY Post]

Can Condé Nast survive in the new media world? We haven’t read the article yet, but we do know they talk to Anna Wintour. [NY Mag]

13 past poufs by Christian Lacroix, who may be down, but he’s not out. [Guardian, Yahoo!]

Picture it: Los Angeles, 2009. Bonhams is auctioning off the estate of Estelle “Sophia Petrillo” Getty on June 14. Choice item’s include Sophia’s glasses and straw handbag. [W]

Video from the Matthew Williamson for H&M party, complete with a clip of Grace Jones’ performance. It feels just like we were there. Except we weren’t. [My Fashion Life]

Fantasy hair: Don’t try it at home. Or ever. [The Frisky]

“It’s emotionally activated? What happens when you put it on your lips at the wrong time of the month or when you’re pregnant? Will your lips explode?” and other things overheard at Sephora. [Allure]

Christopher Kane is doing a line for Topshop again, but being super cryptic: There “may” be colour and apparently we’re gonna go nuts for it. [Grazia]

Karlie Kloss loves the swag. Models: They’re just like us! [Fabsugar]

Matthew Williamson and H&M are hosting a Hudson River cruise this evening with entertainment provided by Grace Jones. Tickets are available at… yeah right. Fashionista]

Will we ever tire of a fashion cage match? Probably not. [The Cut]

Happy Matthew Williamson for H&M Day: The collection sells out in minutes in New York and Mischa Barton refuses to sell her vest. [The Cut] [Style.com] Kate Moss doesn’t cry over split Balmain. [NY Daily News] Fashion’s own version of The Onion goes biweekly, starting in with a Met Ball-themed issue. We can’t wait for […]

The post Daily reads: American Apparel maternity and the world’s most expensive suit appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

The costumes for Beyoncé’s upcoming tour (designed by Thierry Mugler) look exactly like what you’re imagining–lots of gold, silver and of course that metal glove. [The Cut]
 


Coco Rocha plays Guitar Hero…or possibly Rock Band. Oh, who are we kidding? It totally doesn’t matter what you call it as long as you watch it. [Oh So Coco, via Fashionista]
 


Going, going, gone. Size 5 shoes are apparently so démodé. [Glamour]
 


Theme for the day: Running in heels. And no, I am not speaking of Marie Claire‘s highly anticipated new reality show, but rather my crazy day. My late-night Walgreens run for gel foot cushions will have been worth it.

Up first was Matthew Williamson where front-rowers included Rachel Zoe, Monet Mazur, Joy Bryant (who is quickly becoming the female Kanye West of Fashion Week by showing up to absolutely everything). Oh, and I can’t forget Eva Longoria Parker looking petite but packing some major bling power.

Long-ago Lagerfeld muse Inès de la Fressange takes the catwalk at Jean Paul Gaultier (and apparently there was wrestling involved.) We’re sure the sure the Kaiser isn’t too upset. [WSJ]
