LA-based label Band of Outsiders always does things differently. Founded in 2004 by Hollywood-agent-turned-designer Scott Sternberg, the brand is known for producing rebel-prep menswear and slick womenswear that never looks forced. Unique but equally unpretentious are Band's runway presentations, where every season, Sternberg dreams up a wild new setting for his collections to come alive in. But he really outdid himself yesterday, where he presented a full-on Broadway show for his Spring 2012 men's and Resort 2012 women's collections at Pitti Immagine Fashion Week, in Florence, Italy.

Speaking of designer collaborations, Scott Sternberg of Band of Outsiders has embarked on a sartorial partnership that, unless you're in South Korea, won't be within reach anytime soon. Bean Pole, a major brand in South Korea (and an affiliate of Samsung), has enlisted the LA-based master of prep to design both a women's and men's collection in time for fall. While many of the looks call to mind Sternberg's signatures at Band of Outsiders and Boy - think polo shirts and well-tailored trousers paired with whimsical accessories - they'll likely retail at a significantly lower price point: Bean Pole is a mainstream brand in the contemporary market. Chloe Sevigny has signed on as the face of the capsule collection, which debuted in Seoul on September 30.

Vena Cava is continuing its push into more affordable markets with its latest expansion, a capsule collection for Bloomingdale's in-house line, Aqua. Fashionista has a first look at the line, which includes a black-and-white print silk tee, a double-breasted and belted black sweater coat, and a gray tee with a see-through back. The small but solid collection is slated to hit racks in September and its price point is, surprisingly, said to be less than that of Vena Cava's other lower-priced line, Viva Vena. The good news for Vena Cava fans not residing in major fashion capitals: the collection will retail both at Bloomingdale's and at Bloomingdales.com come fall.

Fashion and food may make for unlikely bedfellows, but in recent months quite a few designers and fashion bloggers have unleashed their inner foodies on the web. From designers who moonlight as chefs, to bloggers with eclectic appetites and a penchant for taking mid-meal photos, there's a slew of online outlets where you can find highly satisfying food content courtesy of fashion insiders. In honor of this unlikely pairing, four of the best blogs where you can simultaneously wet your appetite for FW10 collection inspiration and watch a video tutorial on how to clean octopi:

Band of Outsiders has had no shortage of new projects in the works recently. First Scott Sternberg introduced his 'This is not a polo shirt' collaboration. Then came the online store and an announcement that his women's wear line, Boy, would soon include a lower-priced line as well. Now comes a brand new sartorial extension that Julian Schnabel would surely approve of.

Scott Sternberg--the former CAA agent and brains behind the exponentially expanding fashion brand Band of Outsiders (which includes the ladies line Boy)--isn't slowing down anytime soon. In fact, fresh off of adding e-commerce into the mix over at BOO's LA headquarters, Sternberg has announced he'll soon be offering lower-priced alternatives to his women's line. In the meantime, Sternberg is ramping up production of his women's line from twice a season to four times a season as a result of the fact that women's fashion inherently houses a must more rapid turnover rate.

Fresh off of the launch of a very successful FW10 collection (as well as the debut of an equally well-received cookie-centric blog), Band of Outsiders is branching out. The LA-based brand, which includes Boy by Band of Outsiders as well as a few special sartorial projects (like a line of polo shirts cheekily called 'This Is Not a Polo Shirt') is diving head first into the world of e-commerce. Band of Outsiders' debut virtual store is open for business.
