Moschino draws inspiration from Barbie (again)

Jeremy Scott professed his love for the classic Barbie doll with his spring 2015 collection for Moschino, and now the Italian label has partnered up with Mattel on an eight-piece capsule collection and an exclusive doll that will be released just in time for the holidays. Not surprisingly, the doll (which will retail for $150) got a very Moschino makeover, with a logo T-shirt, quilted faux leather bomber jackets, earrings, sunglasses and the like making up her wardrobe. The accompanying capsule will be made up of adult-size versions of Barbie's clothes and two Moschino Barbie T-shirts. {Fashionista Inbox}

& Other Stories opens its largest US store to date

Almost a year after the opening of its location in Soho, H&M subsidiary & Other Stories has opened its second US store at 505 Fifth Avenue. The two-level flagship has about one-third more space than its Soho store, and the windows are currently decorated with "The Floating Garden" installation by Satoshi Kawamoto of Green Finger. And on a slightly unrelated note, & Other Stories has expanded its in-store recycling program to include textiles from any brand in exchange for a 10 percent off voucher. {WWD}
