What Kind Of Sorcery: Fashion Nova Knocks Off Kim K’s Outfit Just Hours After She Asks Them Not To

Source: E! Entertainment / Getty Kim Kardashian Gets Ripped Off By Fashion Nova Once Again Once you see a Kardashian wearing something–whether it’s on the red carpet or just chilling poolside–chances are you’ll be able to pick-up a knock-off of that exact garment for under $40 within just a couple of hours. Of course, the Kardashian klan isn’t oblivious to this and they know by posting photos of their outfits, they’re exposing some pretty precious info. With the looks her husband Kanye curates for Kim, she’s the most likely to get ripped off–and she knows that fact well. So when posting a fitting room picture on Friday, she had a message specifically for fast fashion brands in her caption. The star wrote, “P.S. fast fashion brands, can you please wait until I wear this in real life before you knock it off?” But unsurprisingly, Fashion Nova–the final boss of fast fashion brands–had a different idea, and they had a copy of Kim’s look ready before the day was over. They had some words for Kim too, writing, “Hey @KimKardashian, We Just Couldn’t Help Ourselves” cheekily naming the bodysuit/skirt combo “The IRL Skirt Set.”   So just about 12 hours later, consumers can buy the same think Kim Kardashian was wearing for an affordable price…what kind of sorcery is this?! Some people theorize that the Kardashians are in on a deal with the brand since these clothes are being churned out so quickly. Though Kylie Jenner has collaborated with Fashion Nova in the past, Kim very notably declined a million dollar check from the brand at the request of Kanye (who later paid her that same, hefty amount to work with Yeezy). Reps for FN have said their designers can create anything in a day and that they have an in-house photo studio with models ready to take photos in these newly made garments. In conclusion: If you’re a Fashion Nova shopper, you just might walk out of the house wearing the same thing as Kim Kardashian one day.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf’s’ Poster Evokes A Purple Passion For Fashion

One of Manhattan’s most distinct fashion emporiums gets its close-up in Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf’s ,  Matthew Miele’s documentary about the designers, buyers, window dressers and famous customers who make it a destination. Karl Lagerfeld , Oscar De La Renta , Diane Von Furstenberg, Christian Louboutin and Disconnect actor Marc Jacobs are among the fashion designers featured in this film, which has just unveiled a stylish new poster outfitted in the tasteful purple color — lilac, to be specific — of Bergdorf’s shopping bags. Here’s an exclusive look at the poster, along with the trailer and a synopsis: It’s the most mythic of all American emporiums – a one-of-a-kind Manhattan institution where over the last century, the view of fashion has been transformed into modern art.  But behind Bergdorf Goodman’s magical window displays lies a very real world where the rich and famous wield their power and eccentricity, where young and talented designers have their dreams granted and denied, and where money and ambition co-mingle with radical ideas of beauty and provocative style.  Now, for the first time, audiences get a chance to peek inside this world, as Matthew Miele’s  Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s  explores the history, inner workings and untold stories behind the store’s rise from a modest ladies’ tailor shop to a mirror of contemporary culture.

“I think he planned the whole thing: Right after he died, I wrote ‘Born This Way,’” the singer explains in the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar. “I think he’s up in heaven with fashion strings in his hands, marionetting away, planning this whole thing.” Alexander McQueen’s untimely death last year shocked the fashion world, and while Lady Gaga mourned alongside the designers and artists he touched, she believes his passing came with a purpose. In fact, in a twist of fate, Gaga’s record label mo

T-Modulome From Nottoscale Demonstrates The Evolution of Modern Prefab

Back in about 2004, in the early days of the modern prefab craze, I first learned of Peter Strzebniok and his Nottoscale prefabs . At the time his designs were based on ” a steel framework which allows individual building elements to be interchanged.” It seemed complicated , and I don’t think any of them got built.
