H&M Lying About 'Organic' Cotton

The German Financial Times, after some testing, has revealed that the large store chain, H&M has been fibbing about their “certified organic” cotton products. Although rumors have been spread about them destroying and throwing out old clothing, this may be just a tad worse. The labeled organic cotton products have been proved to contain genetically modified cotton from India. The blame may be on the organic-certification agencies, according to authorities in India. However, H&M should be looking further into their products they are selling to consumers who believe they are getting a product that is better for the environment. Those consumers will most likely be unhappy to know that a store they trust has been lying about products that are supposed to be making a difference. - Emily Ekern

Tom Binns Designs a Jewelry Collection Inspired by "Alice and Wonderland"

Things are getting curiouser and curiouser for Disney Signature and Disney Couture jewelry. Tom Binns has designed new collections for each brand using Tim Burton’s new film ‘Alice in Wonderland’ as inspiration. These ‘Tom Binns for Disney’ lines represent the different characters from the movie including Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit. The signature collection features six necklaces from $575-$1000, and the couture collection includes 43 pieces from $50-$200. Tom Binns has a unique way of designing for the runway using photo inlays, lace accents, and Swarovski crystals. His over-the-top style and interesting qualities will transfer to these pieces. When asked about his new endeavor, Binns said, “I cannot imagine a better story to cultivate my relationship with Disney.” So don’t be late for the very important date in February when you can find the collections nationwide.

Elisabetta Canalis for Roberto Cavalli Underwear *VIDEO


Elisabetta Canalis (also known as George Clooney's leading lady) is the woman representing Roberto Cavalli Underwear in their Spring/Summer 2010 campaign. Eva Cavalli was the art director for the shoot, which was shot in London in November and has a nineteenth century feel including Louis XVI style sofas, gilded mirrors, and baroque upholstery. Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot shot Canalis in a matching underwear set of animal print satin and black, a suspender belt, and a marabou feather trimmed silk robe. The line is sensual, seductive, and feminine, and they wanted the campaign to represent that. Roberto Cavalli said, “For my next underwear collection I was inspired by a real woman, with appeal, charisma and sensuality. [Elisabetta’s] Mediterranean beauty and intense appeal interpret an intriguing super-feminine woman.”
