Budget Fashion

Ok, so this is the LAST Charlotte Russe post, I promise, just had to share a couple pics of the stylish guests, the VIPs and the food (why must everything at NYC parties be miniature? Soon they'll be serving individual grains of rice and these model types still won't touch it, lol).

It's my understanding that designer Marcella Lindeberg, creative director at Paris68 and designer for William Rast (J. Timberlake's line), will be heading up the People's Liberation for Charlotte Russe collection.

Ali Lohn (Lindsay's younger sister) was in attendance along with her mother, Dina. Ali was kind enough to let me photograph her in a People's Liberation tank and Charlotte Russe watercolor-print skirt that I featured recently in this post.

At the Charlotte Russe Launch Event Fall 2009 held in New York on Wednesday, I learned that Charlotte Russe has teamed up with Kitson LA as well as People's Liberation to create exclusive affordable collections for the fast-fashion chain. In case you're not familiar, Kitson is a trendy Los Angeles boutique favored by celebs (it's a paparazzi magnet), while People's Liberation is a premium denim/knits/activewear brand that used to be sold at higher-end stores like Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Fred Segal, and will now become available exclusively through Charlotte Russe. Good to know!

Below, some photos I snapped of the new collaborations. And on a side note, first Target teams up with Shop Intuition, now Kitson LA for Charlotte Russe? Looks like collabs with Hollywood boutiques rather than stars is the latest thing.
