More Deets on Mary J. Blige's "Shady" New Creations

Ok, remember how we told you all about how Mary J. Blige has a new fragrance called "My Life" out and shared the looks from her latest fashion collabo with Catherine Malandrino?
Now, we've got more deets to share with you on her collection of sunglasses (which we told you about back in May.)
The singer is set to launch a sunglass collection called Melodies by MJB at Nordstrom and Bergdorf Goodman in October.
According to WWD, the collection will consist of four styles: an aviator shape (called Incognito); classic oversize (Red Carpet and MJ's); and a geometric-retro style with side cutouts (Showtime). Each will be available in four to six colors and retail from $165 to $225. Two more styles will be added later this year. Here's what she had to say about why she made an eyewear collection:
"I want women to be able to hide behind their glasses, but also be fashion-forward and comfortable. I didn't make any Grandma glasses."
Hmmmm...I usually like the shades Mary rocks in real life, so I'm pretty sure they'll be fab. However, they're a bit on the pricey side, wouldn't you say, Glamazons? What do you think?

First Look! Catherine Malandrino X FFAWN X Mary J. Blige Collection (Modeled by the Gorgeous Sessilee Lopez!)

Now that Mary J. Blige's $1,000 Charity Fashion Show has passed, it's time to focus on the fun part: the beautiful, irresistibly chic clothes from the new Catherine Malandrino/FFAWN Resort 2011 collection.

With the exception of a glorious, printed dress bursting with tropical colors, the collection is centered in fashion's perennially chic hue---black. However, it gets its interest and flair from elegant jeweled adornments and fringe details that decorate skirts and tops. Metallic jackets, tie-up sandals and glittering belts imbue this collection with refined charm and brazen edge.

As can be expected from Catherine Malandrino, the silhouettes are tailor-made to accentuate the most beautiful parts of a woman's curves. She expertly uses draping in both dresses and harem pants to emphasize and enhance a gorgeous, feminine shape. The accessories, like a jeweled bracelet and statement necklace, are just as elegant and striking.

Check out the pieces below and let me know which look is your favorite. See more on www.catherinemalandrino.com.

Would You Pay $1,000 To See A Fashion Show?

Apparently there are 600 other people that would..and we would too, if we had the money! (Hey, it's for charity.)
We're talking about the FFAWN fashion show happening June 15 at the Museum of Modern Art here in New York. It's the first ever clothing collection from the organization and is designed by Mary J. Blige and Catherine Malandrino. The money raised from ticket sales will be used to cover college tuition for 30 graduates from the Women's Academy of Excellence in the Bronx.
As you know from previous posts, Coutura and I are huge fans of FFAWN and I was more than happy to shell out $39 to purchase Blige and Malandrino's last fashion collabo: this super cute (and comfy!) t-shirt dress they launched in February at Bloomingdale's. (That's me rocking it below after a fun brunch date with Coutura and friends.)



Items in the FFAWN r-t-w collection will include items such as t-shirts ($200) and a studded leather jacket ($3,000). It seems that Malandrino has been doing the design work while Blige has been feeding her friend with inspirational thoughts. (Which we're sure that she has tons of!) No clue as to where items from the clothing line will be sold just yet.
ELLE is the official media sponsor for the event, so be sure to check out highlights from the show in the July 2010 music issue.
