Esquire, the premier men’s magazine, announced today Aug. 12 that they’ve partnered with Trunk Club, the premier personalized men’s fashion shopping service, on a first of its kind collaboration. The launch of The Esquire Collection, available at Trunk Club, brings a limited edition offering that features the seven essential men’s clothing items for Fall 2013.

Esquire’s editors and the Trunk Club team collaborated to curate The Esquire Collection with the discerning male in mind. The tailored collection includes exclusive, limited edition pieces from designers such as AG Jeans, Billy Reid, Bespoken, Barbour, Gant Rugger, L.B.M. 1911, and Vince.

For readers who may be unfamiliar with Trunk Club, it is a personalized men’s shopping service that launched in 2010. Trunk Club offers the busy guy an avenue to shop for fabulous fashion without the hassle of a typical shopping experience. Members receive access to a personal stylist that can help choose fashion items, or guys can go solo, after items are selected they’re sipped directly to your door. Shipping is free and members have a 10-day “try before you buy” period. You are charged only for the items that you keep and a prepaid postage label is included, so members are charged for shipping in wither direction.

If you’re in the Chicago area, you can stop by Trunk Club HQ that features 15 styling areas and a 5,000-square-foot roof deck overlooking the Chicago skyline, a 40-foot bar, and on site tailoring. In June, Trunk Club took the hassle-free shopping experience one step further with the introduction of a fully functional iPhone app. From the Pop Culture Trends Examiner’s experience of kicking and screaming “no thank you to shopping” males, Trunk Club may be the answer that guys have been looking for when it comes to fashion and shopping.

Gentlemen signing up for “The Esquire Collection” at the Trunk Club website can build their own individual trunks, choosing from a selection of items including a dress shirt, casual shirt, vest, sweater, blazer, overcoat, and pair of pants. Lending to the fact that the collection is purposefully designed to be worn together or separately. For more details about “The Esquire Collection” visit Trunk Club.

Barneys New York And The Walt Disney Company Announce Holiday 2012 Campaign

Barneys New York, the luxury specialty retailer, and The Walt Disney Company, the world's leading entertainment company, announced today their collaboration on the 2012 Holiday campaign at Barneys New York retail venues: Electric Holiday. A multi-platform initiative infused with fashion and fantasy, Electric Holiday will merge the creativity and magic of Disney with the wit and surprise of the legendary Barneys New York annual holiday campaign to create a celebration of festive modern electric lights, music and fashion.

Beginning in mid-November, the Barneys New York Madison Avenue windows will serve as the centerpiece of the Electric Holiday campaign in which an exclusive moving art short created by Disney artists, will be showcased amid a celebration of lights. Disney has also created a modern, three-dimensional electric light show that will encompass the Madison Avenue store entrance and showcase the moving art housed within the windows. To accompany the facade and moving art, Oscar-winning composer Michael Giacchino is creating an original score of highly-charged music to bring the show to life.

The Electric Holiday program and the Madison Avenue flagship's windows will be unveiled on November 14th Air France will be supporting the Holiday 2012 campaign with an integrated promotion and the Electric Holiday light show will feature innovative display technology, using Christie MicroTiles, from Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc.

Electric Holiday is a fusion of some of the most creative minds, a collaboration comprised of the Barneys New York team under the direction of Creative Director Dennis Freedman and Disney veterans Luis Fernandez, senior vice president of global creative, Disney Consumer Products, and John Quinn, Disney character art director.

The Electric Holiday moving art will feature models inspired by Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse as well as other iconic Disney characters as they star in a fantasy Paris runway show, capturing the essence of the high-fashion world along with the electrically-charged colors and brilliant lights of the magical world of Disney.  Minnie and Mickey are transported into a fantasy world where they are transformed from their traditional Disney form into dream-like fashion-forward runway models, and are joined on the Paris runway by five other models evocative of other iconic Disney personalities: Goofy, Daisy Duck, Snow White, Princess Tiana, and Cruella de Vil.

Each transformed Disney model is dressed in a one-of a-kind exclusive look created by some of the most influential fashion designers in the world, including: Nicholas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga, Oliver Rousteing for Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, Alber Elbaz for Lanvin, Peter Copping for Nina Ricci, Proenza Schouler, and Rick Owens.

To fully bring the iconic Disney characters into the Barneys world, true fashion insiders will be featured within the moving art short, from designers featured in the fantasy runway show, to revered hair and make-up artists, photographers, respected journalists and editors, and the celebrities and notable guests that typically attend the high profile shows.  The result depicts a unique, fantasy Paris show with all of the real-world elements of backstage, front-row and runway in illustrated form.

Barneys New York has worked to create a range of exclusive (XO), limited-edition holiday gift items, which will be available for a limited time only at Chelsea Passage on the ninth floor in Barneys' Madison Avenue flagship location in New York, at select Barneys New York locations nationwide and Barneys.com. The product assortment includes Disney's highly collectible Vinylmation figures designed by Paul Smith and Diane von Furstenberg, Mickey Mouse ears designed by Rag & Bone and L'Wren Scott, and smaller items such as holiday ornaments, edible sweets, toys for children, and much more. In the spirit of the holiday season, Barneys New York will donate 25% of sales from all Electric Holiday products to a charity in honor of their special collaboration.

Original and exclusive Electric Holiday artwork will be featured on special Barneys shopping bags available with all in-store and Barneys.com purchases during the holiday season.

Isaac Mizrahi To Launch His First Fragrance For Women

A fashion icon best known for his eponymous fashion lines and ability to dress a woman's silhouette, Isaac Mizrahi is a true inspiration. As a fashion designer, TV personality and businessman, Isaac represents what it means to be a leader in the industry. To celebrate his love of women, Isaac has created a new fragrance: FABULOUS, available September 2012. 

A sensual and timeless scent, FABULOUS captures the essence of Mizrahi's native New York and the juxtaposition of beauty and confidence often seen on the city streets that have long inspired him as a designer. This wonderfully feminine scent encapsulates Isaac's desire to make a woman feel like she does when she puts on an evening gown, like she's stepped into a fantasy.

"Creating a fragrance feels like the last piece of the puzzle," said Mizrahi. "I've been designing clothes, accessories, housewares - everything for a woman's lifestyle - for nearly thirty years. FABULOUS is my opportunity to offer women something to identify with on a whole other emotional level." 

The launch is being supported by a multimedia campaign created in conjunction with Isaac Mizrahi and famed photographer, Terry Richardson. 

FABULOUS: The Fragrance

The fragrance mirrors fruity florals with top notes of mandarin, nectarine and bergamot to invigorate the sense. The floral middle notes, feminine and subtly sexy, feature jasmine, tuberose, freesia and peony. The dry finish of sandalwood, vanilla and cedar give the fragrance a sense of earthiness and empowerment. All scents blend together to create Isaac's vision of feeling and smelling fabulous all the time.  The FABULOUS fragrance was developed by Mizrahi in collaboration with The Cloudbreak Group and Firmenich, the largest privately-owned manufacturer of fragrance oil in the perfume and flavor business.

FABULOUS: The Bottle

FABULOUS features an old Hollywood glamorous packaging design. The art-deco inspired, round glass bottle, with its soft pink hue rests off-center and has a vintage feel at first glance. A bright pink bulb atomizer and gold cap adorned with pink polka dots help make the bottle an instant classic with a modern twist. The bright pink carton is simply chic yet bold with a gold logo and accents, perfectly echoing the spirit of the fragrance.

Linge Shoes Announce Ballet Flats as the Next Barefoot Shoe

Linge Shoes has just announced that they are offering ballet flats that are the next barefoot shoe. The fitness community is familiar with running shoes that are created to embody the feel of being barefoot for running and activity. Some of the benefits of a barefoot shoe include a more natural foot position, comfort and a reduced risk of injury. Going barefoot will ultimately wear down and dirty the feet but a minimalist shoe offers the feel of being barefoot, which creates body awareness and a natural tendency to correct an improper gait.

Linge Shoes is introducing an innovative spin on the barefoot shoe by providing their line of ballet flats that are lightweight, pliable and just as comfortable as being barefoot. This will give women the opportunity to wear their barefoot shoes, outside of the fitness club. The ballet flats are versatile and stylish, and can be worn to work or out for a night of dancing. This means that women can still receive the benefit of the barefoot feel, even when they are not exercising. The style has been trending in 2012 and this allows women a fashionable alternative, unlike the functionally designed barefoot shoe of the fitness industry.

Linge Shoes currently has eight different colors of shoes available and the flats retail at $59.00. Linge Shoes can be contacted directly with questions and comments about their line of genuine leather ballet shoes.
