STRANGEBEAUTIFUL is the newest speciality nail color company to produce a library of non-toxic nail polish. Unlike other nail laquers, STRANGEBEAUTIFUL was created around the concept of nail color as an accessory, one with a rich hue, deeply saturated and much more than just plain old nail polish.  Their creative approach to nail color is inspired by things ranging from Ettore Sottass‘s red valentine typewriter to Josef Albers’ color theory.  Each season, a new library of color will be created, only to be replaced the following season with new must have colors.  The STRANGEBEAUTIFUL color library is packaged and sold as a set exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman for $79.  I’m loving the atypical color range and the fact that the set is sold as a “library of color.”  The fact that it’s non-toxic, makes it even more appealing.  And, as far as luxury nail color, the price isn’t bad either for 8 colors.  I can’t wait to get this set!

Lanvin has teamed up with Acne Jeans to launch a denim capsule collection this November at Barney’s and Bergdorf Goodman.  The collection includes the ubiquitous “jean” as well as “dress, tuxedo jacket, belted trench, [and] blouson,” as well as accessories, including “denim bags, stilettos, earrings and even medallion necklaces.”  When asked how it was to work with Acne, Alber Elbaz the designer of Lanvin stated:  “I was very pleased when I started working with Acne. They’re just young, energetic sexy Swedes and our partnership really wasn’t about signing hardcore contracts, it was really just about creating about something that was mutually fun and creative.”  As you can imagine, the collection is pricey.  Jeans are over $500, coats start at $1200 and accessories start over $1500.  Start putting away those pretty pennies for the drop in November.
