Following collaborations with Karl Lagerfeld, Giambattista Valli, and Matthew Williamson, Macy’s Impulse announced today that they’ve lined up Alberta Ferretti to create their next one-off collection. Ferretti, who’s best known for Greek goddess-like gowns and major red carpet moments, has brought a bit of her Italian heritage to the collection, using the Amalfi coast as the capsule’s driving inspiration for it’s 30 specially-created pieces. “The collection I created is fresh and bright, featuring light summer clothing that evokes the spirit of my beautiful country and is at the same time true to my style,” Ferretti told WWD. Skinny eyelet pants, white jersey sleeveless tops, and floor-grazing chiffon gowns comprise the collection, each evoking the designer’s signature airy ease for a remarkable fraction of the cost—the line will retail between $49 and $119, bowing in 185 stores on April 17th. In the meantime, see the sketch above for a sneak peak of what’s to come!

Hello, everyone! My name is Joanne, and I’m an emerging contemporary women’s wear designer. I was born and raised in Stillwater, Oklahoma and moved to New York City a year ago to pursue my dream of creating my own clothing line. I basically left all that was comfortable in my life: my family, my friends, and everything that I know to be here. But this past year has been one of the most amazing years of my life! Follow me as I go through the ups and downs of launching my own line. I hope I can inspire you to follow your own dreams (whether that’s in fashion or another part of your life!). I didn’t always know I wanted to be a fashion designer. I grew up watching my mom make beautiful quilts but never thought I would have the patience to sew. I thought that being a marine biologist would be fun because of my love for animals. My love for fashion quickly surfaced when I started college. After I took my first sewing class, everything just clicked and fell into place. After I graduated from Oklahoma State University with an Apparel Design and Production degree, I launched my own line, JOLYNN by Joanne Hong. I stayed in Oklahoma for the next two years and sold my line at the Little Black Dress in Tulsa. Because I was the only one sewing the samples as well as all the garments for the store, it was a bit challenging trying to grow my company. That’s why I decided that the next big step would be to move to NYC—the fashion capital of the world. It truly is one of my favorite places in the world.
Here’s a sneak peek of two dresses from my Fall 2012 line:

This past year has definitely been life-changing. I’ve had the most amazing support from my mom, dad, and brother to pursue my dream as well as overwhelming support from all of my friends from back home and my new friends that I’ve met here (shout out to Kevin and Krista)! It also helps that one of my biggest supporters happens to be my roommate and one of my best friends from home, Lyn. Her and her boss, Mercedes Gonzalez, from Global Purchasing Companies, have helped me take a step closer to making my dream reality. I was chosen to be one of 20 emerging women’s wear designers to show my fall 2012 collection at Launch Pad at MAGIC in Las Vegas next month!! So, the last couple of weeks I’ve been so busy preparing for MAGIC. I finished making my collection about a week ago, and I have a photo shoot planned for next week. I’m going to post pics from the shoot in my next blog! So check back next week! I hope that you all continue to follow me on my journey, and I would definitely love to hear from you too! ‘Til next time… Joanne For more info about Joanne and her new line, check out her website, Facebook, or shoot her an e-mail at joannelynn.hong@yahoo.com!

Harry Brant, the 15-year-old son of Stephanie Seymour and Peter Brant, spent last week in Paris attending the couture shows. He wrote about his adventures for Fashionista. Needless to say, take them with a grain of salt.

Apparently Broadway is back in style (but did it ever really leave?): Nick Jonas is the latest Hollywood actor to make the transition into musical theater. The Disney Chanel star took the stage one week ago for his premier performance in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. No stranger to Broadway (Jonas acted in A Christmas Carol, Annie Get Your Gun, Beauty and the Beast, Les Misérables, The Sound of Music, and Hairspray), he nabbed the lead role of J. Pierrepont Finch. Jonas follows in the footsteps of many other movie and TV actors-turned-stage performers. Here’s a list of other stars who couldn’t resist seeing their name on the Playbill.

When Harry Potter decided to perform onstage in Equus—naked, no less—the world gasped, but still raved about his performance as a horse-obsessed stable boy. Since then, the actor has starred in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in the same role as Nick Jonas, which also received positive reviews.

It seems that Finch in How to Succeed is a very coveted role for Hollywood heartthrobs, and Darren Criss is another teen actor who’s played the part. But it’s back to Glee for Criss—he wrapped up his brief stage run on January 22, passing the torch to Jonas.

In the same year that she had her baby, Bronx Mowgli, and was allegedly axed from Melrose Place, Ashlee Simpson surprised everyone by getting the role of show girl Roxie Hart in Chicago.

Proving that she’s no Ugly Betty, America Ferrera also starred as Roxie in the West End Production of Chicago. And boy, can Betty dance!

- Justin Timberlake has just landed a starring role in the film "Trouble With The Curve." The movie will also star Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams. Clint and Justin play rival baseball scouts on the look for new talent. The only problem? Justin has a crush on Clint's daughter, played by Amy. The film is set to premiere this coming September! It's fun to see Justin in so many films, but will he ever continue his singing career? We love and miss his music! (deadline)

- Er zijn nieuwe nagellakflesjes. Het is een soort Valentijnuitgave met kleuren zoals roze, rood, wit en een beetje blauw. Je kunt bijvoorbeeld de witte gebruiken en dan van de nieuwe stickers er leuke roosjes bij doen.
