Horrifying Hotels of the Future

Horrifying Hotels of the Future Today, CNN asks an all-important question: "Could we be staying in floating hotels in the future?" The impetus for this question is a new hotel in the conception phase called the "Aircruise." The Aircruise is (or, really would be) a 256-meter-tall hotel that would float above the earth, providing dramatic views of the city or countryside. It could hold a max of 100 guests and crew in a space with 10 luxury apartments, a bar, lounge, and dining area. Essentially, it's a small, non-amenities filled cruise ship in the sky. "I can't think of another way you can experience pure luxury travel" says Nick Talbot, head of transportation at Seymourpowell, the company working on the hotel's design. Actually, we can think of plenty of other ways to "experience pure luxury travel." And we can also think of a few other "hotels of the future" that we don't really need to see.

David & Victoria Beckham to Design Together

David & Victoria Beckham to Design Together Victoria Beckham continues to expand her empire. Her namesake clothing line started as a denim, but has since been reincarnated to encompass high-end, ready-to-wear women's line, eyewear and the relaunch of her jeans company. Meanwhile, Beckham's hubby and soccer star David has apparently inked a deal to design his own line of underwear. (Not too far a stretch given the fact that the couple has been the face of Armani's undergarments for seasons). But, apparently boxers and briefs aren't the only way in which Mr. Beckham will soon be showcasing his design talents.

Previews & Rumors: Zac, Marc & Victoria

Previews & Rumors: Zac, Marc & Victoria Zac Posen's diffusion line for Target doesn't hit retailers until the spring, but a few lucky ducks are getting a first look well before the collection's launch date. Racked.com got the scoop on what to expect from the line from a loose lipped tipster: "Zac rehashed his 'best-of' prints into a sumptuous collection. It's also going to be the first time Target will be selling a GOWN. Very print-heavy with one gown, tuxedo, lots of printed separates, bathing suits, a belt or two, and a cool Michael Jackson red leather jacket!" And, good news for non-cosmopolitan dwelling Posen fans, "the distribution for the Zac collection will also be the largest of any such collaboration."

Betty Draper Brings Up-Dos Back into Fashion

Betty Draper Brings Up-Dos Back into Fashion Mad Men's influence on fashion has been talked to death. One would think. From Michael Kors sourcing inspiration from the show's 60s styles, to Brooks Brothers enlisting the show's own stylist to create a limited edition Mad Men suit, the discussion of Don Draper and co.'s sartorial dominance seems all but squeezed dry. Believe it or not, a new aspect of the AMC series' style is up for debate as its influence is apparently landing on the heads of women across the states. Specifically, Betty Draper's up-do (circa the Drapers' trip to Rome) is causing quite the hair stir.

Victoria Beckham’s Burgeoning Empire

Victoria Beckham’s Burgeoning Empire You can't keep Victoria Beckham down. Or not working for that matter. In between designing her namesake line and relaunching her denim label, it seems Beckham has found the time for quite a few other sartorial endeavors. "She also has cooked up two artistically chic short films for the occasion that will be shown exclusively on Net-a-porter for a week, and last month redesigned her Web site, victoriabeckham.com, from top to bottom," says Women's Wear Daily. And at the request of the former, Beckham "developed a 21st-century virtual store appearance with a walk-on cameo on the cover, audio commentary on the collection and tips about how to wear it within the site’s weekly magazine."

Mouret for Men, Victoria Beckham Robbed

Mouret for Men, Victoria Beckham Robbed It's been a big year for Roland Mouret. The designer grabbed headlines right around Fashion Week when he started hawking a few of his SS10 designs online at the same time they premiered on the runway (sales took place in conjunction with a camera crew documenting Mouret's backstage show happenings, with footage subsequently airing on Fashionair.com). And, quite a bit of buzz followed this past week when the designer announced an exclusive collaboration with Net-a-Porter that will launch just in time for the holidays. But Mouret's latest endeavor is sure to please a whole different kind of clientele: men.

Deacon Does TheCorner.com, Mouret Sides With Net-A-Porter

Deacon Does TheCorner.com, Mouret Sides With Net-A-Porter Online retailers aren't playing the fool when it comes to cashing in on the designer collaboration trend. And in this economic climate, designers surely aren't turning down opportunities to make an extra dime by teaming with virtual boutiques and creating limited-edition collections especially for them. Just this week, news surfaced that revered avant-garde British designer Giles Deacon has created an exclusive collection for the online shop TheCorner.com, a relatively new online retailer from the folks behind Yoox.com. And on top of that, Roland Mouret has teamed with Net-A-Porter. The latter is another British label co-owned by Mouret and Simon Fuller; Victoria Beckham has played muse to Mouret, and in turn the designer has heavily influenced the pop-star-turned-designer's own collection.

Victoria Beckham Does Denim Again

Victoria Beckham Does Denim Again Victoria Beckham is returning to her design roots: denim. The pop star cum designer made a name for herself in the fashion industry with her denim line dVb (posing in next to nothing for the likes of Armani didn't hurt either), before launching an eponymous higher-end, ready-to-wear collection that's received countless critical and consumer accolades over the last two season. (It remains to be seen how Blake Lively playing muse for Beckham will affect future collections.) Now, David Beckham's better half is returning to jeans with a label called simply Victoria Beckham Denim.
