Mark Jacobs's tribute to Southpark
Thats right! Marc Jacobs has acknowleged and thanked the creators of South Park (Marc Jacobs has been immortalized at 'Marc Muscle Man' in one of the episodes of the show) by giving the 3 characters-
Eric Cartman, Randy Marsh and Butters "Leopold" Stotch their fashin debut. The 3 characters are placed nude on t-shirts with 'Protect your largest organ' emblazened on their vital areas. The initiative, which benefits the Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group at New York University, has been fronted by Victoria Beckham, Naomi Campbell and Dita von Teese. The tees are available online at $35 and at Marc by Marc Jacobs store.
We love Southpark and would love to rock the Mark Jacobs-meets-Southpark obscenity via the t-shirts! woohoo!

New York based designer Naeem Khan's Spring Summer 2012
Hailing from India, Naeem Khan is not a new name among the A-listers. Hollywood damsels like Eva Longoria, Penelope Cruz, Brooke Shields, Emily Blunt, Katherine Heigl have all flaunted a Naeem Khan. The impeccable cuts, chic separates and elaborate gowns have embarked a USP for the designer, the intricate embroidery and bead work is a talent passed on from his grand-father to his father and then onto him. His designs have even graced First Lady Michelle Obama and Queen Noor of Jordan and were showcased on the silver screen with Sex and the City and Dreamgirls.
He found his label 2003 and showcased his collection in 2005. Over the years his collections have been stocked at more than 200 stores, including Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Saks Fifth Avenue.
His Spring/Summer 2012 collection is marked by beaded gowns, demure lace jumpsuits, faille ribbon rose gown, cowl neck, one shoulder gowns, all very typically Khan with jewel colours, crystal fringe, all very delicate, romantic, mystic and still spell drama like no other.
Unfortunately, though for us, we can only lust over the collection and tell y'all about it, and only hope the label retails in India too! The following are a few of our favourite looks from the collection.
