House of Dereon for Girls
Style Buzz Singer Beyoncé’s fashion line, House of Dereon, has created a collection for young girls. The controversial ad campaign features preschoolers in four inch heels, feather boas and looking generally trashy. I can only imagine how terrifying of the House of Dereon Baby collection must be.

Biodegradable Furniture
Style Buzz New York Times has a piece on the latest trend in environmentally-conscious home furnishing: furniture that disappears when you’re done with it. Here’s an idea that could really take off, especially when it seems like so much furniture from IKEA is practically disposable. It pained me to have to throw out so much stuff when I decided I didn’t want to live like I was in a college dormitory anymore.

Perez Hilton Clothing Line
Style Buzz Blogger Perez Hilton is debuting a clothing line with Hot Topic. Look forward to Perezcious Pink t-shirts, hoodies, accessories and footwear. There is also Gossip Ganster flip flops, and some sort of lipgloss. I’m wondering if the lipgloss can be used to create that lovely white drool, or coke nose effect that Perez seem to do in MS Paint.

Mastiha
Style Buzz A shop opens in downtown Manhattan that specializes in all manner of products made with Mastiha, an all natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial resin which can only be harvested from the sap of evergreen bushes found exclusively in the southern part of the Greek Island of Chios. Also referred to as gum mastic, it’s the new miracle ingredient you’re going to start seeing in everything. Apparently the new Mastihashop even has gum mastic chocolate pistachio balls!

Liberty of London
Style Buzz The classic florals from Liberty of London have been everywhere. The cute florals show up in Chloe Sevigny’s line for Opening Ceremony, and just recently on some adorable Nike hightops. Due to the popularity of the “Liberty Print’ keyword, its now impossible to find an affordable early 90s floral frock on eBay.

M.I.A. Clothing
Style Buzz MIA is launching her own clothing line, which will include bomber jackets, leggings and T-shirts in bold bright hues and graphic prints. It’s kind of magical the way M.I.A. wears really loud, mismatched patterns without looking idiotacky. Now you, too, can attempt to pull off the same look.

Beer Can Coffin
Style Buzz An Illinois man has had a custom Pabst Blue Ribbon coffin made for himself. Despite his love of PBR, he’s in no immediate danger of dying, so is currently using the custom rig as a cooler. It’s like another, darker take on the multi-use idea behind those coffin couches.

Super Fertile
Style Buzz The jewelry line created by Kali Arulpragasam, M.I.A.’s sister. Kali’s third world bling really is kind of like the wearable equivalent of an M.I.A. song. For instance, her summer collection, entitled “Tourism,” depicts the cultural highlights of countries currently affected by war and terrorism.

Coffin Couch
Style Buzz Luxurious couches made from recycled caskets. The perfect furniture for classy goths and secret vampires.

Bird Poop Facials
Style Buzz A New York spa is offering a a ‘Geisha Facial’ that involves the use of nightingale excrement. Apparently the powder know as uguisu no fun has been used in Japan since the 18th century and contains the amino acid guanine which is said to brighten and cleanse the skin. Nothing it too insane for me when it comes to my skin so I am willing to give it a shot. Luckily the girls at Jezebel found uguisu no fun online for less than $20.

Penis Massage Pants
Style Buzz Electrical pair of pants claims to massage your nether-regions for up to 20 minutes at a time. Actually, I’m not even kidding, but I’ve been searching high and low for denim shorts in this shade of blue for months now.

Comic Book Couture
Style Buzz Marc Jacobs references Spong Bob Square Pants for Louis Vuitton and Luella shows Batman outfits for the spring season. If you’re sick of scouring all those street style blogs, the Garbage Pail Kids and Archie comics are totally an untapped source of fashion inspiration.

Louis Vuitton Sues Darfur Charity
Style Buzz Artist Nadia Plesneris being sued by Louis Vuitton for depicting a LV-inspired bag in an image sold to raise money for a Darfur Charity. The image depicting a Darfur victim carrying a designer handbag and a Paris Hilton-style dog was meant to draw attention to the media’s disproportionate focus on celebrities. The Paris based company is demanding over $20,000 for each day that Plesener continues her project, presumably because they do not appreciate having their brand equated with genocide, a move that seems to have backfired.

Backpacks
Style Buzz Designers like Alexander Wang and Marni are featuring backpacks in their Fall/Winter 2008 collections in fabrics like sequins and fur. In my attempt at eschewing the giant IT bag, I recently got one of these cute Swedish backpacks. It fits my laptop, and looks like something a Scandinavian schoolchild would wear.

Colored Cigarettes
Style Buzz April issue of Flair magazine has a spread featuring model Flavia Oliveira smoking Nat Sherman Fantasia cigarettes in bright, spring-colored hues. I just can’t think of a more glamorous or self-destructive way to accessorize an outfit.

Linda Farrow Sunglasses
Style Buzz The high-concept sunglasses by Linda Farrow are pushing the eyewear envelope. The line has collaborated with big name designers including Jeremy Scott, Luella, Dries Van Noten and Chloe Sevigny. Although the Beak Glasses are pretty out there, I am kind of loving the Minnie Mouse look of the Jeremy Scott glasses pictured.

BloomFrame
Style Buzz Dutch architects invent a window frame that can be extended into a balcony. I could see these being totally ubiquitous and being sold at an IKEA near you. There was probably a time when sofabeds seemed really ingenious and innovative.

Padded Butt Briefs
Style Buzz Padded briefs from guys suffering from flat-butt syndrome. Men have been into the the girdle scene for some time. Why not jump aboard the padded underwear train, too?

Color Changing Fashions
Style Buzz Fashion line Anzevino and Florence collection “Sometimes Catastrophes Become Trophies” features fabrics that change color with body heat. We were definitely due for a Hypercolor revival. I am going to wear mine with a bubble necklace.

Massimo Vignelli’s Subway Map
Style Buzz The classic-yet-confusing 1972 design of the New York City subway map has been updated and released as a limited-edition print. Vignelli’s map was a headache for tourists and commuters alike, but it did land a spot at the MoMA. Proceeds from the sales of the signed 2008 edition - there are 500 prints available for $299 - will go to the Green Workers Cooperative, a community coop incubator, in the South Bronx.
