>> Victoria Beckham's collection for Harvey Nichols may only be available on the other side of the pond — and may also be nearly sold out — but that doesn't mean there isn't a bit more fun to be had. The full version of the Quentin Jones-created film has been released, and it definitely makes good on all the cat-headed quirkiness and colorblock cuteness promised in the teaser. Watch it below, now.

Undercover Uniqlo Spring 2012 Campaign

>> Campaign images of Jun Takahashi's Undercover Uniqlo collection have been released. Via the capsule's newly live website, the four campaign images depict an attractive family of six dressed head to toe in comfy-chic weekend classics: there are stripey-sleeve tops, khaki jackets, cardigan sweaters, and printed pants — in short, just the kind of clothing one would wear to engage in wholesome family fun. "Clothing for the families of today," the retailer explains. "It is the unity of Uniqlo's high-quality basic clothing, and the Undercover line of street-influences, high-end fashion. It represents the modern family style, and seeks to inspire the world from Tokyo." The 105-piece collection — made up of 34 items for women, 43 items for men, and 32 items for children and babies — hits stores March 16 and is priced from around $11 to $105. [Shophound, Racked]

    >> Alberta Ferretti's Impulse collection hits Macy's stores April 17. Inspired by the Amalfi Coast, the 30-piece capsule is comprised of peasant blouses, abstract floral prints, and voile dresses, and will be priced from $49 to $119. "The collection I created is fresh and bright, featuring light summer clothing that evokes the spirit of my beautiful country and is at the same time true to my style," Ferretti explained. "She appeals to an international consumer as well as an American consumer, and her fabrications are very soft, very feminine, chiffon-like, drapey, comfortable, and really pretty, yet they look very elegant," Macy’s executive vice president of marketing, Martine Reardon, said of the retailer's choice to collaborate with Ferretti. The collection will be available in 185 Macy's stores nationwide for 10 weeks.
