WWD reports that Kimora Lee Simmons will design an exclusive juniors line for retailer JC Penny. The sportswear line will be called….wait for it…Fabulosity. I can’t hate on Kimora getting her hustle on in preparation for her divorce from mogul hubby Russell Simmons, but I just hope she takes it easy on the blinged and bedazzled jeans.

Eva Mendes is the new face of Calvin Klein underwear
WWD reports that Calvin Klein has tapped the fresh out of rehab actress to be the face (body?) of Calvin Klein Underwear. I’m glad they chose a girl with some curves. No one wants to see a bag of bones peddling panties.
Eva has no problem showing off her bangin’ bod. She famously peeled her clothes off for PETA and got autoerotic for a sexy scene in We Own the Night.
Mendes will also be the face of a new and yet unnamed fragrance from Calvin Klein.
Watch a throwback Calvin Klein commercial featuring Mark Wahlberg and Kate Moss under the cut.
Following up Jovovich-Hawk, Richard Chai will be the next designer to create a low-cost line for Target GO International.
So who is Richard Chai?
The Korean-American designer is an Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation award winner and his resume boasts stints at Donna Karan and helping Marc Jacobs start his Marc diffusion line. Richard Chai then went on to work his mojo as Creative Director of TSE.
Chai now has his own line and a shop in Soho. He’s known for minimalist designs and has an eye for detail and fit. The guy cuts great pants.
You’ll be able to nab Richard Chai’s designs from Target come August.

LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen to share Vogue cover
Would you have guessed that Anna Wintour even knows who LeBron James is, much less be willing to have him on the cover of her sacred fashion bible?
The New York Post dropped a dime that basketball star LeBron James will join Gisele Bundchen on the April cover of Vogue for the annual “shape issue”.
If Vogue is finally going to put a man on the cover, I demand it be Andre J .
