Nicole Kidman, 41, graces the cover of Elle’s magazine November 2008 Annual Women in Hollywood Issue. Kidman is married to country singer, Keith Urban and is a new mom of a beautiful baby girl named Sunday Rose.

Jennifer Lopez graces the cover of the September issue of ELLE magazine. She talks about loving life, her pregnancy days and designers, she says about D&G: My babies! I love them, I love them, I love them.”  Don’t feel too bad Donatella, she didn’t forget you either, she says, “We’ve always had a very sweet relationship. I really got to know her more after her brother had died.” We still mourn his loss. Well, it’s evident they are sharing the love!  Now, if they could share their design staff with JLO and revamp her line, that would be awesome too! Great idea, eh? I know they’re reading this and thanking me for the tip as they utter *that FashAddiX is a fashgenius*.   No sweat my pet, I’ll send you the bill.

Isaac Mizrahi did it. Vera Wang did it. Now ELLE is jumping on the mass-market bandwagon and is doing it too. From Magazines to the Street Scenes, ELLE owned by Hachette Filipacchi have their own clothing brand readily available at over 300 KOHL’S nationwide. After much anticipation since talks last year, ELLE kept true to its word and is currently selling jackets, pants, shorts, dresses and tops, all under $50. Their target audience is ages 25-35. And so we had to review. For the first time ever we stepped foot at a Kohl’s store and we are glad that we did! Is ELLE merchandise couture-like? Of course not. Is it somewhat stylish clothes where you get what you pay for? Yes, but it is not bad at all. I actually picked up a bright lime-green jacket from them for $50. It was cheap and chic! If you are wondering why many upscale designers are catering to the average person, it’s for one simple reason: that’s where the money is at. Designers are not limiting themselves, they are trying new venues and it is working for them. Some do it for the love of the art others for the love of the money. The key ingredient is to keep it trendy no matter what the price range is.
