E-Shop 'Til You Drop

Alexander Wang, Martin Katz, and Michael Angel launch e-commerce sites

(NEW YORK) Brace your credit cards: as though you don't spend enough time browsing the web for new wardrobe must-haves, three designers have just jumped on the e-commerce bandwagon. On Wednesday, Alexander Wang's website will introduce a shopping section, offering his ready-to-wear, along with his coveted bags and shoes and his T by Alexander Wang line. As of now, it's just for the ladies-although come spring 2010, his foray into menswear will also be available. Martin Katz, a favorite jewelry designer of the likes of Freida Pinto and Jessica Biel, has just launched the e-commerce portion of his website, where shoppers can pick up his signature diamond and gemstond micro bands (prepare yourselves: prices start at $2,400). Finally, Aussie designer Michael Angel's graphic shift dresses, tanks, and legging have just become available at michaelangelshop.net

Louis Vuitton Chopsticks

Can Your Sushi Handle LV Chopsticks?

No one knows where to find these, but everyone wants a pair. We’re talking about the Louis Vuitton VIP Chopsticks Set that go for a cool $450–and make your eel sushi taste that much more chic. Each set comes in a Monogram Plexi-glass and includes four sticks. To our knowledge, these are not sold in stores just yet…though Russian billionaires always have a way of getting their hands on indulgences such as these.
