Label Whore's galore in the Galleria!!!!

Hope you enjoy these juicy tidbits I gobbled up today in the Galleria Mall during my serious window shopping mission.

Check out the Red Bull art of can exhibition in the Galleria Mall @The Nieman Marcus entrance.


Social Privy<Robert Vincent Anderson Gucci Specialist @Saks Fifth Ave> gave me a peek at's Gucci Fall Runway collection. I noticed that the decorative hardware that adorned the bags are similar to the accents on Rihanna's supa-dupa fly boots worn in the Instyle magazine spread. Which makes perfect sense seeing that Rihanna is the new spokesmodel for Gucci's first ever Unicef ad. She'll be appearing in their Tattoo Heart campaign, which will begin in December. Creative director Frida Gianninni says, "When we decided to dedicate a full ad campaign, more than just creating products, to really come out and show our commitment to UNICEF, I felt a musician and a beautiful woman was the perfect icon for this campaign." The photos will feature Rihanna and Gucci items, and 25 percent of the proceeds will go to the children's charity. Okay!!! H-Town "Get It" girls get ready for the fall collection and purchase your hot new Gucci gear w/o a guilty conscience. Now you can look good while giving back.


Now onto you guys... I couldn't help but notice that men are really really into shopping these days. For example there was a crew of straight guys in the Louis Vuitton boutique baggin' it up. Imagine my surprise when I peeked over to see what some lucky "Get It" girl was getting from her man and didn't see a hot new Takashi Murakami Camouflage Speedy. Instead I saw LV sneakers, Belt & sunglasses. Huh? What's up with that? I don't know how I like this whole new "designer dude" from head to toe. Are men becoming label whore's??? That use to be a girl thing. You know who I blame for this ish'!! That damn Kanye West. Social-Privy<Kanye West as well as Pharrell are designing a sneaker line for Louis Vuitton. >
When I mention the "designer dude" trend to my other Sak's 5th source Social Privy<Travis Cal (Travis also has a consulting firm Fashionably Loud 713 960 9748)> he added that I had no idea how many men shop religiously and not only that but go hard at with their black cards. "You wouldn't believe how many black men in Houston have black Amex cards!!! You should do a write up on that..." Travis we will talk plus I need the stats on the brother's with the black cards. He'll, maybe the designer dude ain't so bad after all.
