Molly Crabapple for Dirtee Hollywood
26Jul10
I feel like I’ve been hearing the name Molly Crabapple everywhere these days. Known for her unique burlesque style animation, Molly has illustrated for a wide array of publications including Marvel Comics, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, as well as for NYC hot spot, The Box. She has also exhibited her work internationally as well as founded the Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. Now Crabapple is entering the fashion world thanks to her recent partnership with Dirtee Hollywood, where she has designed for their Spring, Summer, and Fall tshirt collections.
Dirtee Hollywood celebrated the collaboration at Fred Segal in LA, and Atrium in NYC, where Pretty Connected had the pleasure of meeting Molly and watching her work (she literally transformed a blank canvas into a burlesque-vixen with an octopus before our very eyes (see pictures below).
Pretty Connected (PC): How did you come to be apart of this collaboration?
Molly Crabapple (MC): Dirty Hollywood approached me about a year ago. I had never thought I would do a fashion line before but they gave me complete creative freedom. They said ‘Molly you’re known for doing saucy Victorian girls, do saucy Victorian girls for us’ and it’s just been this wonderful collaboration ever since.
PC: How did you come up with the drawings for Dirty Hollywood?
MC: I suppose I should have a more rational explanation more

Earth Day with Kiehl’s
28Apr10
For the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, I decided to spend the evening at the Kiehl’s Flagship store to partake in the celebration of their ‘Give Kiehls, Give Back’ campaign.
Photographed by David LaChapelle, the campaign features actress Julianne Moore, musician Pharrell Williams, pro-surfer Malia Jone and artist Jeff Koons; all of whom designed a limit edition label for Kiehl’s Acai Damage-Protecting Toning Mist. For every one sold, Kiehl’s will donate 100% of the proceeds (up to $200,000) to the RainForest Alliance.
With actress Taryn Manning on the turn table, we celebrated Earth Day and Kiehl’s philanthropic efforts in style; great music, fun drinks and snacks (all acai berry based), with an influential crowd of actors, artists, TV personalities, photographers and press. Guests included Malia Jones, Tinsly Mortimer, Robert Verdi, Parker Posey, Adrienne Bailon, Shiri Appleby, Richie Rich, Heather Matarazzo, Kelly Benisom, Ally Sheedy, Norman Reedus and KAWS.
The collection is available at Kiehls.com

DVF Ups the Ante on FREE SHIPPING!
9Apr10
In my post from this morning (where I drooled all over the new DVF iPhone cover), I expressed some confusion over the promo code ‘DVFSHIPFREE’ that Diane von Furstenburg posted about on their Facebook page as well as some difficulties I was experiencing while trying to order it off their website.
Go figure, I check my email and within an hour of the post going live the lovely people at Diane von Furstenberg sent me an email! They clarified the promo code ‘DVFSHIPFREE’ (to sum it up you could buy as many $400+ dresses you’d like but if there wasn’t an item in your shopping cart for under $100 –like the $20 iPhone cover, you don’t qualify for free shipping). But lets forget about that nonsense considering they shared an even better promo code with me! Use APRILSHIP at checkout during the month of April and receive free ground shipping on more

DVF’s iPhone Cover
9Apr10
I’m obsessed!!! How hot is the new Diane von Furstenberg iPhone Cover? She designed it in honor of the new iPhone application DVF launched earlier this week.
I saw on Facebook they are running a free shipping promo. ‘Use DVFSHIPFREE for free ground shipping on any order with an item under $100’. Is it me or is that awkwardly worded? The iPone cover is $20, which is under $100 so I think that means I’m getting free shipping? And on that note, ONLY $20!!!! I’m so impressed (and surprised) they didn’t price it higher.
I need it and am ordering it now! Or at least trying to, the website seems to be having a meltdown at the moment when it comes to ordering them. Maybe they weren’t expecting the entire female population to be ordering it all at once.
It also fits iPod Touches, for more information visit dvf.com
