Wearing ripped jeans, Drew Barrymore headed to a meeting in Hollywood on Thursday. Credit: MAC/Fame Picturers. SOURCE: US WEEKLY.
You know, Drew Barrymore has been so stylish and cute in the past few years. She’s appeared in countless cosmetics commercials and advertising spreads in her haute couture best. So, what happened? Is this her roll-out-of-bed look? Cute girl. Cute top. Cute sneakers. Somehow, the whole ensemble did not do her justice. What kind of “meeting” was this? I can only imagine dressing like this to meet a girlfriend. Please Drew, tell us you’re not going back to your old frumpy self?

Madewell Opens March 10 in Glendale, CA.
Hooray! Eastsiders will be happy to see Madewell open in Glendale (finally!) come March 10. Prior to that, Madewell lovers had to trek out all the way to Century City just to score some sweet Madewell denim and apparel offerings. Now Eastsiders can more easily jump on the Madewell bandwagon. Though, you better save your spot in line, because everyone who makes a purchase on opening day will get a custom made L.A. Map tote (while supplies last) with a $50 minimum purchase. Since I was planning to check out their store anyways, I should probably think up my plan of attack, ahem, strategy for getting my foot in the door.

We love French darlings April 77 because they make cruelty-free boots, name collections after punk bands, and carry some of the coolest duds for guys and gals on the scene today. Well now they’re giving us one more reason to love ‘em, with a brand-new collection of high-end, red selvage Japanese denim. The collection is set to launch just in time for the fall/winter ’09 season at your nearest Barneys and Bergdorf’s store. And because we love you so much, here’s a sneak peak at the designers’ notebooks, complete with swatches of the high-quality fabric and their own personal notes. Now if we could just find a significant other who shares our waist size, and we’ll be in business.

“The references are all over the map,” said an unapologetic Chlo?« Sevigny, chatting about her latest collaboration with Opening Ceremony – a unisex collection she unveiled during London Fashion Week. The line, which she showed Sunday at the Double Club, was a “slight homage” to one of her favorite designers, Miguel Adrover, said the actress, but it also had dashes of what she called “gay lumberjack,” James Dean, preppy New England and English punk. Highlights included skinny moleskin trousers, Fair Isle, tiger and leopard-patterned knits, little tweed blazers, dyed thermals and oversize jackets that fall past the hip. It was conceived as a men’s collection that women could also wear.
Sevigny and Opening Ceremony have also collaborated with Bass on a selection of footwear, including two-tone Weejun loafers and saddle-shoe boots. Other accessories include checkerboard scarves, fabric backpacks with plastic patch pockets and beanies. Prices start at $95 for a fringed scarf and run to $945 for an overcoat. The line will be carried at Opening Ceremony in New York and Los Angeles and stores including Barneys, Colette and Dover Street Market.
