Milly x Banana Republic Includes Nail Polish! Plus, More Details On The Line
When the Milly x Banana Republic collection was announced back in January, summer was the last thing on our minds. But now that the launch date for the collection (May 30) is rapidly approaching, we can’t wait to get our hands on the colorful, “Hamptons-chic” designs.
Is Kate Middleton To Thank For This Banana Republic Collaboration?
Last month, a certain London-based brand talked about how the Kate Middleton Effect almost caused their company to come crashing down after demand for their dresses soared out of control. Now, they’ve signed on with Banana Republic for a 40-piece collection debuting August 6. Can you guess the label? Here’s a hint: that royal blue wrap dress.
Narciso Rodriguez Has Been Given An ‘Advisory Role’ At Banana Republic
We love Narciso Rodriguez for his sleek minimalist designs and worldly outlook, and we love Banana Republic for their attainable price point and wearable collections like the upcoming Anna Karenina capsule (if not so much their Photoshop techniques). So we’re pleased to hear that the retailer has tapped Rodriguez for a very special advisory role, created just for him.
Banana Republic Wages Photoshop War On Model’s Kneecap
While magazines like Seventeen are easing off the Photoshop and pledging to keep models looking as natural as possible, retailers like Banana Republic apparently are not. Herewith: we present the case of the missing kneecap.
PHOTOS: A Sneak Peek At Banana Republic’s Anna Karenina Collaboration
It’s only the middle of summer, but retailers are already in the final stages of their holiday collections. Case in point: last week, I attended a preview of Banana Republic‘s Anna Karenina-inspired collection created by the upcoming film’s costumer designer Jacqueline Durran. I might’ve broken a sweat during the hot walk to the preview, but I was lusting for the opulent and winter-worthy wares even before I left.
Banana Republic Unveils New Mad Men Line On An Airplane, Parties With Sally Draper
Airplanes are so hot right now. Following in the footsteps of Chanel and, well, Chanel, Banana Republic unveiled their new Mad Men collection on a cross-country Virgin America flight from New York to Los Angeles. And while a five-hour plane ride might seem like a lot to sit through for a 4-look show, the passenger manifest conveniently included bloggers like Keiko Lynn, Saucy Glossie, and My Style Pill, all of whom were whisked off to Sally Draper Kiernan Shipka’s house upon landing to celebrate the launch.
EXCLUSIVE: Behind The Scenes With Banana Republic’s Simon Kneen
We don’t know about where you are, but in New York the weather is just starting to turn. We’re breaking out our fall sweaters and lace-up oxfords and heading full steam into fall, which is our favorite season — and for good reason. Which is why this exclusive behind-the-scenes video of Banana Republic’s creative director Simon Kneen chatting about his favorite fall styles couldn’t have come at a better time.
PHOTOS: The 10 Worst Photoshop Offenses Of 2010
While those behind and in front of the camera have expressed concern over the prevalence of extreme Photoshopping both in editorial spreads and advertisements, photo retouching is here to stay. Getting rid of blemishes or correcting light balance isn’t a huge deal, but many magazines and advertisers use their Photoshop tools a bit too liberally. As such, we’ve put together a list of this year’s top 10 worst Photoshop offenses.
Why Does The Gap Have A New Logo?
Gap changed its logo today without fanfare or even so much as a press release. It just kind of showed up on their website, no method of warning considered. The new logo, a cold and unfeeling blue square crushed underneath the cruel weight of bold, black Helvetica, makes the company look more like it’s about to release a new word processor than a footwear collaboration with Pierre Hardy. Our questions about this abound, but we’ll start with this one: What the hell are they thinking?

Banana Republic Model Really Likes His Herringbone Pants
