5 Fave Tees by FC Intern and Digital Media Student Devonte Glover

Devonte Glover is our guest blogger today, reporting on some of his fave graphic tees! Devonte says...

Graphic tees are a guy’s best friend for the spring and summer time. Personally, they are my favorite thing to wear to school, work, and my video and photo shoots. Not only are they quite stylish, but they are actually extremely affordable. Some of my favorite places to shop for them include Johnny Cupcakes, Aeropostale, Brooklyn Industries, J. Crew Factories, and my all time favorite, Macy’s. From prices ranging from as low as $8 to $45, which is a pretty good deal for good quality tees. So what are you waiting for? Go out and get swagged out for the summer with some of my favorite styles!

What's New, What's Hot: Lacroix to Design for Schiaparelli, Free People's New Eco-Friendly Line

When two of the most iconic and influential names in fashion appear together in the same headline, we pay close attention. This week we learned that Christian Lacroix has been named the designer to steer the house of Schiaparelli back into the spotlight. The designer will create a 15-piece collection that will debut in July. "In this persona incarnating a true aristocrat, one finds a spirit where mathematics and literature as well as poetry coexist: Elsa is a sacred sphinx who never ceases to interrogate us while offering us new enigmas as answers," the designer said in a statement.  On the collection being showcased at 21 place Vendôme, the historic address where Elsa once worked and where the house is now based, Lacroix had this to say, "Art, theater and cinema… my wish is to reposition Elsa at the center of her maison and on the stage from which she once seduced the world."

Free People is debuting an eco-friendly line of dresses and tops today, apropos since it's Earth Day.  The new line is called Maheya, which means"from the earth," and every garment is colored with natural dyes made from marigolds, pomegranate skin, annetto seeds, rhubarb, lilac, and natural indigo. Plus, every piece includes a seed paper hang tag made from 100% recycled paper that can be planted to turn into wildflowers. Happy Earth Day!

What's New, What's Hot: Eva Chen to Save Lucky Magazine, Beyonce Chooses DSquared2 for Tour Costumes

Anna Wintour was recently named artistic director of Condé Nast and she is wasting no time whipping the publications giant into shape. To start, she's recruited former Teen Vogue editor Eva Chen to work on several projects for Lucky Magazine, a women's glossy that has struggled in the past few years (the magazine has seen a significant drop in advertisers, losing close to forty ad pages last year alone). No word yet on what these projects are, or whether Chen will be a permanent fixture on the Lucky masthead, but the social media queen and all-around fashion darling will no doubt help to breathe new life into the shopping magazine.

 

Pop diva Beyonce has her choice of designers and luxury fashion houses to dress her, and for her upcoming world tour the "Single Ladies" singer is going with twins Dean and Dan Caten, the designer duo behind Italian label, DSquared2. The custom-made design is being kept under wraps, but a spokesperson for DSquared2 confirmed that the costume is in line with the label's Spring 2013 collection, which was inspired by supermodels of the nineties. "Beyonce chooses to wear a unique outfit created exclusively for her by Dean and Dan Caten, inspired by an item from the 2013 spring/summer Glamazon catwalk show," the rep stated. Dean and Dan have also designed tour costumes for Britney Spears and Madonna. The Mrs Carter Show kicks off today in Belgrade, Serbia, and ends in Brooklyn on August 5.
