Lady Gaga turns her hand to designing limited edition gifts for Barneys

By emilyborrett on August 16th, 2011

We desperately want to get a flight to New York this Christmas, because we’ve just heard that Lady Gaga is collaborating with her BFF Nicola Formichetti to design a range of limited edition gifts for Barney’s department store.

The seasonal campaign, titled “Gaga’s Workshop”, will be taking over the fifth floor men’s department in November, turning the area into Gaga’s very own bizarre Christmas wonderland.

The gifts that will be on sale include sweets, toys, candles, cosmetics and jewellery made entirely out of rock candy, as well as Gaga-curated books and CDs. Barney’s chief exec, Mark Lee, spoke out about the new collaboration: “Holiday is about joy, sharing and inclusiveness, and to me, Gaga really represents all of that. Her platform is so much about positivity, individuality and universality in a very today way.”

He continued, “There are a lot of things for fans of all ages, for kids and kids at heart. I think our existing and new customers will find fun things to share and give as gifts in a lighthearted and not so serious way.”

We actually cannot wait to see what Lady Gaga’s take on the holiday season will be. Get us to NYC in time for Christmas!

What girl doesn’t fantasize about buying a little bit of everything in Barney’s? That’s the theme of the store’s fall catalog, created by Simon Doonan and starring Coco Rocha.

Rocha is photographed as the character Emma, and Emma has a dilemma.

“Making decisions has never been my strong point. When faced with a chocolate eclair or a macaroon, I dither and procrastinate and end up nibbling on both” says Emma.

While most designers are saying to heck with recession and continueing to allow their prices to climb, Tina Lutz and Marcia Patmos seem to actually care about their customers.

“When we met, we were so poor, but we still wanted to be stylish,” Lutz told WWD. “We have lowered Lutz & Patmos’ prices by 30 percent since we started the company. But we wanted to do something more.”

That something more is a new contemporary line of eco-friendly knitwear to be sold exclusively at Barney’s under the label Leroy and Perry. The collection is named after two streets in the West Village where the design duo first struggled for success.

The pair teamed with Barney’s Green to create three sweaters made from organic cotton or yarn from recycled T-shirts and bamboo. Each style will retail for under $300.

The Lutz and Patmos ARP cape cardigan above is $485.

The Daily Mail, a British newspaper, has reported that Barneys is marking up the price of items in Kate Moss’s Topshop collection. Flare jeans that cost £50 ($100) at Topshop cost $158 at Barneys. The Daily Mail predicts American shoppers may begin flying over to the UK for better shopping deals if this trend continues, the way UK shoppers have been hoping over to our side of the pond for years because clothing has traditionally cost less for them in America since the pound is currently stronger than the dollar.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Introduce their New High-end Line the Row

By Andrea Thatcher on August 29th, 2007

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are fixtures on both worst dressed lists and in the front row of fashion shows from Marc Jacobs to Balenciaga. We watched them grow up from matching cutesy flowery outfits, selling their monikers to Wal-Mart collections for tweens, to towering platform heels, layered on black sweaters and scarves, and floor-length gowns, becoming muses to avante-garde designers. Now the teeny tiny twins are foraying into high-end clothing with the launch of the Row. Minimalist separates like blazers (see the plaid one worn by Ashley, above) and mini skirts, knit t-shirts starting at $150, and oversize fur coats (breaking the bank at over $3,000) make up the line, to be sold at Barneys. Ashley Olsen spoke to New York Magazine, “Wal-Mart was about the customer. It taught us how to be commercial. This is about me and my sister, and what we like to wear.” The twins are involved in every part of the manufacturing process, working closely with a designer, and Ashley has been caught by paparazzi exiting the factory where the clothes are being made.
