Dries Van Noten Bleached Denim Derby

Purists, look away now. Seriously. You won’t like this. Everyone else should be able to enjoy a fun take on the derby by Dries Van Noten. They’ve fallen in love with bleached denim this season, but this is the first time we’ve seen it used like this on shoes. If it’s been your life goal to get your feet featured on a Tommy Ton style roundup, we’d recommend these. (Browns)

Marc Jacobs Teams Up With Playboy

 

Marc Jacobs is teaming up with Playboy! No, not in that way. Apparently there will be no nudity involved, Women's Wear Daily reports.
Two real Playboy bunnies sporting original costumes from the vault will be part of the window display at the designer's Marc by Marc outpost on Bleecker Street in Manhattan. And Jacobs created three Marc Jacobs + Playboy t-shirts that will retail for $35 with all funds going to Designers Against AIDS. And, wait, there's more -- read the rest of the details at WWD.com.
So why the sudden interest in the men's magazine? The fashion newspaper speculates, "It could be Hugh Hefner's upcoming 85th birthday, Robert Duffy's fascination with the Hef or maybe Valentine's Day." Whatever it is, the tee might be the one piece of Playboy merchandise we'd ever wear. What do you think?
