News: Dior Publicizes No Matter The Situation, Prices Of Expensive Things To Drop Slightly, And More

1. From the Important Stuff department comes the news, brought to you by Dior, that Madonna’s sunglasses worn while she visited victims of her collapsed stage, were made by Dior.  Surely there are a multitude of celebrity sunglasses publicized in a less gauche way.  [WWD via Jezebel]

2. Really expensive brands, e.g. Gucci, are going to become slightly less so, dropping retail prices in reaction to the economy.  We approve, but we also know the prices will never beat getting designer duds at a sample sale.  [Madison Ave. Spy]

3. Lily Allen is coming out with a jewelry line.  We’ll see if her baubles will inspire us to go beyond our staples and wear what the stars do (or make).  [Vogue UK]

4. The Style Coalition brought together top fashion bloggers (including our founder) to make a Don’t Shop! campaign video explaining the importance of supporting designers.  We agree, and we’ll start with cool jewelry from even cooler labels.  [Style Coalition]
