According to Hip-Hop legend KRS-One “The Bridge is Over”. Well, that might be true for rappers from Queens, but not for famous fashion designers. The fashion world has their La Perla’s in a bunch over the launch of Karl “the incredible shrinking designer” Lagerfeld’s new signature line. Laggy will join an expanding community of fellow high-end designers like Marky Marc (Marc Jacobs) and R-Rock (Ralph Lauren), who have found fame and money in developing bridge lines. The line, which is considered mid-priced (crazy talk), features dresses, jeans and T shirts from $95 on up. Find the line at your local Needless Mark-Up (aka Neiman Marcus) or online at neimanmarcus.com on March 17th and March 18th.
P.S. Betcha five bucks he shows up on Oprah by the end of this month.

In a blindingly unoriginal move, JC Penney’s has created a temporary store in Times Square (at 42nd Street). Why the old school store wasted their money doing this, I shall never know. It’s like building an Alexander McQueen boutique in Salina, Kansas—wrong location, wrong customer. I’ve never, EVER, heard anyone in New York say “Gee, I really wish we had a JC Penney’s in the city.” Even my very Midwestern mom, who insisted when I got married that I register at the store because “Penney’s has great towels and sheets”, was baffled by the concept of a temp store in NYC.
