Stylish with Substance

• Marc Jacobs set his wedding date to Lorenzo Martone for before the Summer solstice in June. The location is to be Provincetown, Massachusetts, which is a gay mecca on Cape Cod, and of course in a state where gay marriage is legal. - reported by Fashionologie.
• Fergie has debuted her eponymous shoe collection. - reported by Pop Sugar.
• Top Chef host, Padma Lakshmi's jewelry line debuts today at Bergdorf Goodman. - reported by Yum Sugar.
• Matthew Williamson is returning to H&M on May 14th. - reported by Coutorture.

Fergie is going to design handbags, but for another company, Kipling, and only for two seasons.

President and CEO of VF Sportswear, Denise Seegal, was attracted to Fergie by her mass appeal and fashionista style on the red carpet. This will be the first celebrity-designed collection of many for Kipling, which actually seems like a nice little bag brand, though relatively unknown.

Stacy Ferguson (Fergie) said,

As with every project that I'm involved with, I plan to put all of my heart and creativity into this one, and I'm thrilled to work with such an amazing brand. I look forward to putting my personal touch on each and every design in my signature Kipling collections.

Fergie will not only be hands on with the designs, but she will do a lot to market the bags, including posing for ad campaigns and making personal appearances - all for the brand.

There will be two collections, one for Fall 2007 and the second for Spring 2008. Bags will hit stores (unsure which) September 1st 2007.

Now let's hope Fergie can get past her devotion to motorcycle bags, as pictured above (a Balenciaga).
