Madonna teams with daughter Lola on fashion row
NEW YORK — When Madonna required inspiration for her latest fashion collection, she didn’t have to look far. The pop icon teamed up with her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes to create Material Girl, an affordable juniors’ clothing line that debut on Macy’s this fall.
This is not Madonna’s first raid into designing. In 2007, she teamed up with H&M to create a restricted edition collection, M by Madonna. This time roughly, her venture into fashion will be long-lasting: She has commenced a new company called MG ICON which, in addition to producing the juniors’ line, will also put out other collections with eyewear.
The Material Girl collection comprises jeans, shoes, fingerless gloves, necklaces and other accessories. Many of the pieces are stimulated by Madonna and her daughter’s dance roots.
Madonna just spoke about Material Girl, her relationship with Lourdes (nicknamed Lola) and her fashion risks and regrets.
Lola spent mainly of her childhood growing up in England. According to her, she thinks people have more style in London, particularly the boys. French boys in particular have very good style, according to Lola. I imagine she has been very influenced by European fashion. She is very influenced by the music she listens to, dissimilar bands she is in to and she has favorite models. She takes all types of dance classes. She is enthused by different items people wear as dancers whether it is a hip- hop class or a jazz class or ballet class. My Christian Dior shoes will go missing and then a few fabulous bags I won’t be able to find or my skinny jeans, the only pair that fit me are gone.
I see her more as an innovative person, as an artist and less as my daughter as we are working, and then every once and a while I memorized she is my daughter, said Madonna.

Maria Pinto – Obama fashion designer to close Chicago store
CHICAGO (AP) — after making her mark on fashion by making clothing for first lady Michelle Obama and other celebrities, designer Maria Pinto says she’s closing her Chicago boutique because of the poor economy.
Signs situated this week in the window of Pinto’s store read “Closeout” and “Final Sale” as the designer hosts a liquidation sale through Saturday. Pinto focused the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and launched her own label in 1991. She has said she builds her clothes for real women, not trends.
Pinto says her time-off plans contain traveling, painting and drawing. And she says she desires to study the fashion industry to see where I want to fit myself into it.
Michelle Obama wore Pinto’s clothes on the campaign trace and then at the White House.

Alexander McQueen drops out to inventor of folding plug in design awards

An innovative folding electric plug now beat a final collection by late fashion guru Alexander McQueen to land a top design award.
McQueen, who committed suicide last month, had his most recent spring/summer catwalk range placed on the shortlist for the title of Brit Insurance Design of the Year just days after his death.
It drops out to London student Min-Kyu Choi’s reinterpretation of the plug, which folds flat for storage.
His design beat more than 90 international nominees who were selected in seven categories.
The winners of the categories went promoted to the final judging stage and Choi was presented with his title by judging panel chairman Antony Gormley at a gala dinner held at the Design Museum in London tonight.
Mr Gormley said: Thought-through, responsive and modest, the folding plug shows how intelligent, elegant and inventive design can make a variation to everyone’s life.
The winning design was stimulated by having to carry around a hefty plug to power the world’s thinnest laptop, a MacBook Air.
Mr Choi drew admire when he showcased the plug at the Royal College of Art’s graduate show in 2009.
Deyan Sudjic, director of the Design Museum, said: It’s great to see such a practical but elegant expression of what design can do to make everyday life so much better. Min-Kyu Choi is a designer just setting out on his career and he obviously has a great future ahead of him.
Selected designs are on show at the Design Museum until October 31.
