H&M was thrilled to exclusively host “Fashion Star” winner, Kara Laricks at their Flagship store on 5th Avenue. Fans had the opportunity to meet with Kara and of course check out the winning collection!

Laricks Earns the Prize of a Lifetime with $6 Million in Orders for Capsule Collections in Macy’s, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue Stores

NBC’s “Fashion Star” named Kara Laricks as America’s first “Fashion Star” winner in the coveted season finale, earning Laricks the prize of a lifetime — $6 million in orders for capsule collections in Macy’s, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue stores. In the final challenge, the remaining three contestants were tasked with creating separate showcases consisting of three garments for each of the retailers. The winning garments are available online and in stores tomorrow.
Laricks’ winning designs beat out two fellow finalists—Ronnie Escalante and Nzimiro Oputa. Her win comes on the heels of NBC renewing the freshman reality series for a second cycle in 2012-13.

A former fourth-grade school teacher, Laricks always told her students to be true to themselves. Finally, she took her own advice and pursued a career in fashion. She designs androgynous clothing for women, inspired by her love of menswear and an avant-garde Japanese design aesthetic. Best known for her hoodie scarves, collar-plus-tie, Laricks puts a spin on what is deemed traditional women’s fashion. @KaraLaricks



Celebrity mentors Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos played a crucial role guiding the designers throughout the competition with the hopes that the three retailers would vie for the right to purchase and exclusively carry the work of the up-and-coming designers each week.
“Fashion Star” will return for its second season during Winter 2013 on Sundays (8-9 p.m. ET).

“Fashion Star” scoured the country in search of the next big brand in fashion. Fourteen unknown designers were chosen and given the chance to win a multi-million dollar prize to launch their collections in three of America’s largest retailers: Macy’s, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue. The series features host and executive producer Elle Macpherson along with celebrity mentors Simpson, Richie and Varvatos.

The “Fashion Star” format was developed by Ben Silverman of Electus (NBC’s “The Biggest Loser,” “The Office,” and “The Tudors”), Rick Ringbakk of Emmy Award-winning 5×5 Media (“Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution”), and E.J. Johnston and James Deutch of EJD Productions.

Relaunch of ‘Tuff Scent’ Scented Nail Polish

Hello Elite Socialistas,

Lisa Arnbrister and 18 year old daughter, Sylvana Barbash, have relaunched ‘Tuff Scent’ scented nail polish and this time they’ve added a charitable edge. The brand which has been previously carried by reputable stores such as Sephora, Nordstrom’s, Saks fifth Avenue, Fred Segal, Planet Blue and so on, will now donate $1.00 of every bottle sold to breast cancer awareness in a commemorative effort to support the cure.

“Scented nail polish has a fun twist, you can apply it, smell it and it brings a smile to your face,” says Barbash, whom originally gave her mother the idea while coloring her finger nails with scented markers as a young child. The mother daughter duo have not only set their brand apart by giving each polish an original scent but they have also given the new line affirmative names such as “Faith”, “Hope”, “Believe” and “Dream”.

The line, which makes a fabulous gift or a fun treat for you has already been featured at Ryan Seacrest’s Grammy gifting lounge and will be included at this year’s Teen Choice Awards.

20 new colors/scents, which retail for $14.00, have already become a favorite of celebrities such as Vanessa Hudgens. The unique line is available now at the company website www.tuffscent.com and can also be found at www.shopfinenfunky.com.

‘Tuff Scent’ was originally founded in 1996 by Lisa Arnbrister. The scented polish became an overnight global sensation retailing at 2,000 stores worldwide. The line quickly developed an “A List” celebrity following and has been featured on everything from Oprah, Good Morning America and Fox News to In Style, Vogue, W, and Cosmopolitan just to name a few.

Tuff Scent added a splash of color and fragrance to KISS FM’s 2011 Teen Choice Awards Gifting Lounge. They featured their original shades and scents such as Kiss(cinnamon),Loyalty(lilac), Passion(lemongrass and ginger) and Wisdom(grapefruit), which seemed to be an overall favorite among the young crowd. In addition to Vanessa Hudgens and Britney Spears, who have been spotted sporting the unique line at several events, Tuff Scent’s celebrity following continues to rapidly grow. Blogger Hanna Beth, Shar Jackson, Chelsea Lately's Ross Matthews, Janelle Parrish from Pretty Little Liars, Gretchen Rossi, and Lucas Grabeel from High School Musical all stopped by the lounge to pick up their favorite colors/scents for Fall.
