A win marks a huge moment for a designer, granting them a few hundred thousand dollars, a mentor within the industry and the chance to design a capsule collection for J.Crew, the fund’s head sponsor. Diane von Furstenberg leads the judging committee which will, for the first time, include Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Shouler—the first winner’s of the CFDA Fashion Fund Award eight years ago—as well as Jenna Lyons and Reed Krakoff. So who’s up for it? Joseph Altuzarra, Pamela Love, Carlos Campos, Cushnie et Ochs, Fenton/Fallon, Suno, Ohne Titel, Finn Jewelry, Creatures of the Wind and Antonio Azzuolo for A.A. Each of the finalists will spend the summer whipping up a “special design project” for L’Oreal and in the fall one winner and two runners-up will be named.

- We spotted Bruce Willis & Demi Moore's daughters Rumer and Tallulah Willis out shopping together in Beverly Hills on Friday. The sisters showed off some serious hippie style with their long wavy hair, colorful maxi skirts and big black boots! We have to say that it's refreshing to see celebrity kids who have truly found their own style!

J'ai vu dans des centaines de présentations : "non aux Starcoins", "ensemble nous combattrons les Starcoins" ou même "je quitte Stardoll à cause des Starcoins !".
Non mais réalisez un peu, Stardoll a fait ce que vous attendez, donner un plus aux Non-Superstars...

- It’s the song we STILL can’t get out of our heads, the song that’s so hypnotizing that it’s certainly infected us with its poison. The mesmerizing music video for her song ‘E.T. (Extraterrestrial)’ featuring Kanye West (no surprise here as the rapper’s got a keen sense of style) portrays Katy Perry as a flawless alien—with breath-taking outfit changes—floating around with lightning quick flashes, helixes, and dystopic war visions. Although the vid came out in March, it’s time we take some cues from this video and try walking on a different fashion wavelength. While we may not be fans of Black Milk’s Steve Buscemi dress, the clothing company has some stellar (time to revive this word) galaxy dresses and leggings. Let us tell you, these dresses are out of this world…ha, ha. Whether you’re a skeptic or true-believer in all things out-there—dreams, aliens, space, and alternate universes—these inspired pieces belong in a realm of their own—and maybe even your own wardrobe. Glow like Katy Perry and feel the power as you transform yourselves in these supersonic items that we have searched far and wide for.

Who: Maria Sharapova
What: Jewel-adorned Alexander McQueen dress and heels, Hellmuth earrings
Wear: The 2011 ESPYS presented by ESPN at the Nokia theatre in L.A. last night
Tennis-playing phenom Maria Sharapova wore Alexander McQueen from head to dazzling toe at last night’s 2011 ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) Awards. The black minidress from McQueen’s pre-fall 2011 collection looked just as show-stopping on the red carpet as it did on stage, where she presented the award for Best Upset alongside NBA player Amar’e Stoudemire to Virginia Commonwealth University basketball coach Shaka Smart. The ultra-low back, sexy slit, and short skirt amped up Sharapova’s seductive appeal, and we love how the tennis great pulled off the luxe jewel-encrusted look with the same laid-back confidence she showcases every season on the court. As a final touch to her otherwise all-Alexander-McQueen look, the stunning athlete chose perfectly matching black-and-gold Hellmuth earrings. Maria Sharapova is currently the fifth ranked player by the Women’s Tennis Association and was seeded fifth at this year’s Wimbledon tournament.

Chanel Fall 2011 Haute Couture, IMAXTREE
The couture shows in Paris came to an end last week, but there’s a trend that we just can’t shake off. Make that two trends: fingerless gloves and finger half-gloves. Chanel kept to its signature look this season with tweed skirt and cropped jacket suits but added a surprisingly chic pair of fingerless gloves to almost every look. Leather, lace, mesh, and even feathers were used to make these palm warmers. Often associated with punk kids and goth rockers, these fingerless gloves added a sweet and unexpected touch of class to Chanel’s runway looks. The best part? You get to use your iPod without having to remove your gloves! Here’s how to get the look:

Is that you, Neville Longbottom? Believe it or not, the awkward bumbling Neville you used to know has matured into the handsome hunk of a man pictured above. Ten points to Gryffindor—for looking so darn good. It’s about time we paid some attention to Matthew Lewis, the actor who plays Neville in the 8 Harry Potter films, set to conclude with the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 at midnight tonight. The question was always: Who do you prefer: Harry or Ron? But now, if you asked us, we’d say yeah, those two are alright, but we’ve got our eye on little ol’ Neville Longbottom. Or should we say, the crush-worthy guy behind the character, none other than Mr. Matthew Lewis. Matt was born and raised in Yorkshire, England (so he’s got an oh-so-charming British accent), and began acting when he was six-years-old. After his Harry Potter days are over, he’s set to star in The Sweet Shop coming out in 2013. Hopefully, we’ll be seeing more and more of this actor. For now, check out the fine fella in the newest HP movie. And try to pay attention to the actual plot of the film, we know it’ll be tough with this guy on-screen.

The spring summer season is over two months away (thank goodness), but the British Fashion Council released their “provisional” show schedule yesterday and there’s one name that’s popped out: Tom Ford. Three seasons in to his re-born womenswear career the fashion world still waits with bated breath for his next move. After a star studded debut in New York and an intimate presentation in London, he’s chosen the latter for his spring summer 2012 collection. He’ll show at 6PM on Sunday, September 18th. Mulberry‘s also on the LFW schedule for the second season in a row. The brand used to stage small presentations on repeat throughout the day in both London and New York, but given their success they’ve earned a fairytale runway show, or two. And if you’re going to make it to just one day of London Fashion Week, make it September 19th—Christopher Kane, Erdem, Burberry and Giles will all debut their new collections that Monday.
