United Bamboo's 2011 Cat Calendar

New York-based label United Bamboo has a very unique way of drawing attention to their clothing. They offer cat calendars to their clients. Now what is so special about that, you say?

Long-time Fred Perry fan Amy Winehouse teamed up with the brand to create her own 17-piece collection of apparel and accessories. Classic pieces – the twin-tipped M12 polo shirt, the Harrington jacket, the jumper dress – are given the full Winehouse treatment but still remain instantly recognisable.

Calvin Klein Jeans X ad banned for allegedly promoting rape

Australia's Advertising Standards Bureau has banned a Calvin Klein X Jeans autumn/winter ad after it received 50+ complaints that the images suggest gang rape and violence. The ad shows model Lara Stone surrounded by shirtless men with her head laying in one man’s lap while another appears to be climbing over her. 

Designers for less with 'My Brand'

You might have seen some pictures of celebrities in magazines wearing t-shirts with 'fake' designer logo's of Chanel, Marc Jacobs or Yves Saint Laurent on them. These are created by the Dutch label 'My Brand'. The idea behind 'MyBrand' however is not a cheap imitation of the brands they refer to with their clothing, but more of a fun way to honor them. The collection of t-shirts, tanktops, sweaters and training suits is now available in 50 shops in Belgium too. Prices vary from 59€ to €124.

After the Nicole by OPI Justin Bieber line, OPI has revealed another celebrity nail polish collection for 2011. None other than nail airt-loving pop star Katy Perry had the honour to create a nail polish line in collaboration with the California-based brand.

The 'Teenage Dream' star is known for her flashy red carpet manicures and her posts on Twitter featuring her newest nail art, therefore it's no surprise the line is all about flashy and fun colors.

The nail color collection will include Teenage Dream (a plummy pink sparkle), Not Like the Movies (metallic silver), Last Friday Night (a Crayola blue glitter), and The One That Got Away (a deepest dark berry purple.)
