>> Tennis anyone? Bar Refaeli shows off her new lingerie line, under.me, while looking sporty on the court in this recently released video. "My work means I'm traveling all the time, rushing from city to city and wearing the most incredible, elaborate designs. I love it, but on my downtime I just want to relax and be myself," Refaeli says. "That's the idea behind under.me — a focused collection of beautifully made basics that look good and feel amazing." As of right now, the line — which is priced from $7.50 to $25 — is only available online in the UK.

>> Those stories and more in our daily news roundup.

  • Marc Jacobs has just inked a deal to do a line of beauty products with Sephora, the beauty retailer owned by LVMH — which also owns Jacobs's eponymous line as well as Louis Vuitton, the other brand Jacobs designs. The cosmetics line is in its infancy, so there's no price point or release date set as of now. "We currently are working on defining what Marc Jacobs cosmetics will be, what they'll say, what makes them distinctive," Jacobs said. "I think that will take some time, but the first meeting was good." [Fashion Etc.]

  • Front-row darling Nicki Minaj has written a song about her experience during Fashion Week, in which she name checks not only Anna Wintour but also Oscar de la Renta. Quoth Minaj: "When I'm sitting with Anna, I'm really sitting with Anna / Ain't a metaphor punchline, I'm really sitting with Anna / Front row at Oscar de la Renta, posture / Ain't a b*tch that could do it, not even my imposter." The song, "Come on a Cone," is a track from her new album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which debuted today. [The Fashion Spot]

  • Not to be left out of all the Olympic-size fun Stella McCartney is having, Prada announced today that it will sponsor Italy's national sailing team in the upcoming games. The fashion house will furnish uniforms for both the team's athletes and its technical staff. [The Daily Telegraph]

  • Simon Spurr, who left his eponymous clothing company just two days after being nominated for the CFDA award for menswear, still hasn't explained why he left — other than to say there were issues within the company that made it impossible for him to stay. But he's still hoping to win that award. "If they don't vote for me this year, they're not going to next year," he said. "It's now or never." [The Cut]

  • The current number of pregnant Victoria's Secret Angels now stands at three, with models Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, and Lily Aldridge all expecting additions to their families in the coming months — and they have the baby bumps to prove it. [LilSugar]

Because everyone loves a good collaboration: in just a few short days Anthropologie will launch Made in Kind, a new ecommerce platform featuring 11 exclusive capsule collections from some of the most intriguing designers around. Among those involved in the project's April 5 debut? Established favorites Karen Walker, Gregory Parkinson, and John Patrick; up-and-comers Samantha Pleet and Charlotte Linton; and newbies Rachel Rose and Koto Bolofo.

With pieces priced from $84 to $470, the various collections offer an accessible introduction to each designer's respective aesthetic: there are whimsically printed dresses in vintage silhouettes from Karen Walker, clean-lined blouses and bottoms in sustainable fabrics from John Patrick, and hand-dyed tops and skirts in vivid hues from Gregory Parkinson. "I think women who say 'I never wear print or color' will be surprised when they try on these items," Parkinson says of his collection.

Click through for a complete look at some of our favorite collections from the Made in Kind project, all of which will be available exclusively on Anthropologie.com starting April 5.

H&M's New Retail Chain Is Named & Other Stories

H&M Confirms Name of Upcoming Retail Chain

H&M has settled on a name for the new higher-priced retail chain it's planning to open in 2013.

H&M has settled on a name for the new higher-priced retail chain it's planning to open in 2013.

Hacan Andersson, a press officer for the Swedish-based retailer, told AFP's Relaxnews "it is correct that H&M will launch a new chain in 2013 called & other stories, but this is all the available information we have as of today."

That's what many speculated the new chain would be called — the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported last week that a Swedish firm registered trademarks on & other stories in 2012, citing Camilla Emilsson-Falk, head of media relations for H&M, as the source of the information. Until today, however, the company had kept mum about what the chain would be called.

H&M announced that it would be adding a higher-priced retail chain to its stable of brands — which includes Cos and Cheap Monday — last week. A spokeswoman told Fashionologie that the chain "will not be a luxury brand, but it will be a retail chain that will follow the same ambition as H&M, to offer our customers the best price for a comparable item."

>> Cozy menswear fabrics, ocelot intarsia knits, and a sprinkling of perky little dots make up the Fall 2012 collection for Madewell. Punched-up hues — berry, kelly green, tomato red, and cobalt — give a kick to the otherwise classically autumnal palette, while folksy detailing like appliqué and patchwork add an easy, down-home feel. "It’s one part Wes Anderson-style quirk, one part urban woodland, one part proper English professor," a spokesperson for the brand explained.

Click through for a sneak peek of the whole collection — including accessories such as colorblock flap-bags in leopard-printed pony skin and cap-toed oxford slip-ons — here in the slideshow.

Karl Lagerfeld Apologizes to Adele With Chanel Handbags

Will Chanel Tap Adele For a New Handbag Campaign?

>> Rumor has it Karl Lagerfeld has apologized for calling Adele fat by sending the British singer a number of his handbags — and there's also speculation that he wants her to be the next face of Chanel.

The apology came this week in the form of "a collection of Chanel bags worth a fortune," a source told The Sun. "He said he really wanted to make it up to her so they could maybe work together in the future. He could see her fronting a campaign for Chanel Mademoiselle bags when the contract with Blake Lively ends. He’s annoyed with himself because he ended up insulting her when he meant to compliment her. He thinks she’s beautiful and calls her divine."

The source says Lagerfeld felt badly after telling Metro that Adele is "a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice" in early February. He apologized in another edition of Metro about a week later, saying that he knows "how it feels when the press is mean to you in regards to your appearance."

Fashionologie asked Chanel if there are any plans to include Adele on its list of spokesmodels, but representatives from the house did not respond as of this posting.
