Sorry for the typo. I can't edit the topic headline anymore!

 

[Acid]

hererra for womenswear
kors or seanjohn for menswear
jacobs for accesories


i know P.diddy is a rapper/producer and really shouldnt be doing the whole fashion thing like all the other sickening celeb labels out there
but.....his label is actually vey very amazing which leads me to think that he has absolutely nothing to do with it apart from the final wave on the runway...

yes, I know Zac Posen is a new kid, too, but he had much more hype about him...
