Issa London is about to launch a small capsule collection with Banana Republic on August 8th.
Can the WMM/J Crew collection be far behind? (once I ever decide what my bloody style is?)
You know Issa London - rocketed to fame when our own dear Kate wore an Issa dress to the announcement of her engagement to our man Wills, and likely the same designer my own daughter will wear to the announcement of her engagement to Prince Harry. Laugh all you like, but a MIL-to-be has got to be ready...
Anyway, Banana Republic is previewing the capsule collection here.
Some standouts:
Could you wear THE dress? Not me....And I know that Kate would not wear blue tights and sandals... Is this a new style look????
Oh Zebra I could do...
But I am afraid. I am afraid because Banana Republic, once the bastion of safaris and linen and cotton and English Patient chic, will do these dresses in....gasp...polyester....
I have to digress a moment - how spectacular was Kristen Scott Thomas in The English Patient?
For god's sakes, someone do me over so I look like that, STAT!
Okay, I am calm again... But remember the old days of Banana Republic?
Oh don't get me going, I could weep...
So I will look for sure on Thursday and see what I see, though I am holding out little hope for natural fibres. Are you planning to check out this collaboration?
Of course me being me, I began to think about what the WMM/Mickey Drexler collection might look like...
So here are the top ten things you will find in my designer collaboration with Mickey:
Now you know me - I am nothing if not generous! What other items would you like to see added to the Mickey/Wendy capsule collection? Do tell! We are open for business and raring to go!
Have the most happiest of Wednesdays and stay safe out there!

So here are the top ten things you will find in my designer collaboration with Mickey:
- Silk dresses with silk linings in jewel tones and black and ecru. And the waist will be AT THE WAIST and it will be vneck but not a low vneck. Did I say we will go to size 16? We well will because I love everyone!
- Fancy pants, but in artist renderings - can't you imagine fancy pants with this Renoir painting on it for fall:
- Long cashmere open cardigans that do not pill
- Skirts that go to just-below-the-knee in gorgeous patterns and with silk or cotton linings
- thick white and black tshirts that hit right below the belly button and do not get holey, only holy, with more washings...
- Kiki ballets in Renoir-esque prints to match, as well as that lovely academy green and a dark pink velvet for the holidays
- A kitten heel in black suede
- A PLUSH crushed velvet blazer that hits mid-hip and comes in black, dark green, orange, icy blue, ivory and pink
- trouser jeans in black that have a lot of stretch and hide my muffin top
- And the cheeky "what-was-she-thinking-cause-she-doesn't-have-that-kind-of-life" tshirt, in a really soft cotton with this picture silk-screened on it:
