Just a reminder that the colette x GAP Pop-Up Store is closing on Sunday, October 5th! If you haven’t had a chance to visit the store, you have four more days! The store also has new limited edition T-shirts offered. For the cover of V55, photographers Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin shot fourteen of the biggest supermodels in the world. At the fashion week launch party, models and revelers sported the limited-edition T-shirts with each model’s face emblazoned across the front. Now they’re back in a special production run specifically for colette x GAP. They’re gonna go fast so cop ‘em quick! Which model’s tee would you buy?

With all these new collaborations and celebrity lines happening nowadays it’s hard to keep up with all the release dates, I almost forgot about the Eve & A by Whitney Port collection. Teen Vogue reports that a couple of pieces from Whitney Ports collection is currently available at Kitson. At the moment there are only two dresses on the site which is quite pricey- $345 for a Ruffle Collar Dress and $495 for a Sequin Dress, would you splurge? Stay tuned for the rest of the pieces to release…

The collection consists of 20 pieces wholesaling from $50 to $220, the line is heavy on black, features pops of bright colors, including purple and Port’s favorite hue of pink. She emphasizes on versatility, for instance a hood and giant gold zipper help transform a $195 wool jacket into six shapes, ranging from a double-breasted top with a sailor flap in the back to one with a poufy shawl collar. Also, a $50 slip whose fit can be finessed with adjustable straps and a corset-style tie in the back features a ruffled hem that allows the slip to be worn alone or layered under another top or dress. In addition, a $100 wool skirt is constructed with pins that the wearer can adjust to be a mini or float above the knee.

My friend’s over at Worship Worthy has recently relaunched their site and released their Fall 2008 Apparel Collection. Their first collection features an explicit bondage theme mixed up with mostly black and white pieces in a sex aesthetic. The range includes t-shirts, leggings, chemise, hoodie and a ribbon brooch with prices ranging from $20 to $95. The ‘W’ pieces are perfect for me since they’re my first initial, dope! Great collection especially the SEX Leggings, they’re hot! Sex appeal sure sells! The collection is available now at www.worshipworthyshop.com.

Reader Jessie just sent this over, the super fierce Givenchy Up the Leg Gladiator Sandal as seen on Mary-Kate Olsen has been replicated! The Promiscuous Tempt seems to be a pretty good copy of the original sexy sandal with crisscross shaft straps but the copy is lacking a few details including the knotted vamp. The Givenchy pair costs $1775 and is already almost sold out- if you’re a size 37 cop it quick. The Promiscuous pair costs about 1/10 of the price at $139 and is available in black leather, black patent, red patent and brown. Would you splurge or steal? Do you love them? I love these gladiator sandals to death but at almost $1800 it’s quite a heartache…if I was a rich gurl…sigh!

Last week I went by the 55DSL store in Soho to check out the new Fall/Winter ‘08 “Low Noise - High Quality” collection which was inspired by hi-fidelity stereo equipment and twisted references to the late 80’s. The collection consisted of three saturated colors: hot-red, turquoise and purple with abstract geometric graphics, dip-dye and patent leather. A wide range of jackets are offered in this collection along with oversized sweatshirts and t-shirts, vests, colored denim, tops and oversized bags. This season is all about purple and there is plenty offered in this range, I am feelin’ quite a few pieces in this collection. I love the Pisilla Leggings (pictured) with the abstract geometric graphics, super hot and the jackets are really nice especially the shiny patent leather ones! For more from the collection, check out their site or stop by their stores. I can’t wait till I can rock jackets out, the weather is still hot, cold, hot, cold…sigh!
