>> It turns out that the House of Style revival on MTV isn't quite what we thought; rather than bring back the series, MTV partnered with Teen Vogue for a Spring House of Style special. Bar Refaeli is indeed host, and Chanel Iman, rather than co-host, is a correspondent.
The show is definitely targeted at teens: Bar counts down a Top 10 Most Wanted Trends list — think jelly shoes; talks designer DIYs — Teen Vogue fashion editor Mary Kate Steinmiller teaches viewers how to make friendship bracelets with Charlotte Ronson; catches up with Justin Timberlake for a behind-the-scenes look at his Fashion Week show; and chats with Taylor Swift about her style. But there is a segment with Jessica Stam, who opens her closet to talk "how to make the most of what's already there," and Chanel catches up with Erin Fetherson to throw a dinner party, so definitely worth a look; it premieres this Saturday, March 21, at 3 PM EST/PST.

Handbag designer Danielle Nicole DiFerdinando's namesake line might be just a few years old but the range is already well-stocked at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, and Nordstrom. Having apprenticed with companies such as Gucci and Bergdorf Goodman, DiFernando's attention to quality--she uses Italian lambskin for her bags--has greatly contributed to the designer's success. As for her signature style, it's colorful and graphic and does without the oversized styles that, in 2009, seem a little excessive anyway. Click on the link above to learn more.
