Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren Going Rainbow for Gay Pride

The retail community decided they would participate in the Gay Pride week in New York City this year. The Ralph Lauren boutique down on Bleecker Street in the West Village features mannequins who are wearing Polo shirts in rainbow colour.

Meanwhile, Marc Jacobs is also selling a T-shirt featuring the Confederate Flag in rainbow colors. The store features a giant poster with Jacobs in high heels, a graphic patterned fur coat, an amusing hat and a face full of makeup.

Shophound reports; “Can Marc’s peerless fashion clout make the rainbow flag hip once again by presenting it in a twisted, vaguely paradoxical, potentially controversial way?

Empire State Building to ‘Glitter’ for Mariah Carey

This weekend the Empire State Building is going to lit in pink, lavender, and white. This is because the largest phallus in New York state is honouring (wait for it…drum rolls)…Mariah Carey for a day.

According to a press release, that’s apparently the color ‘motif’ of the new album E=MC², it’s also the colour of dreams, delicate flowers, and the aura of unicorns — which seem to appear in literally every single one of her music videos.

Mariah herself will be turning the Empire State Building to those three colours, giving it the adorable, soft glow that way-too-modernist skyscraper has needed all along at 1 pm tomorrow.

The French know their colours

Yelle, the French singer who rose to fame via MySpace just released a new video of her song Je veux te voir (which was actually written two years ago). Singing and dancing aside, the detailed use of colour should be noted. The wardrobe and the art director were clearly working together. From the walls to the floor to the hat to the shoes, it’s flawless. They colours complement each other and Yelle perfectly. (Hell even the extras look hot with those colours)
