If you haven’t heard of Scarlett & Crimson yet, take note: The adorable little cartoon girls have gained cult status in the UK, but when designer Robert Cary-Williams created a limited-edition tank, the line reached an even wider group of chicettes. In the next week, 60 of the only 300 tanks will be sent out to a group of ladies in New York and L.A., and Chic Report is itching to see who gets one! Will you be one of the lucky? We’ve also heard a very juicy rumor from S&C: that an American designer may be next up to create a version… mais qui? Chic never tells. Click through for a look at the elusive tanks…

So you think the Ramone look is all about disheveled seventies, punk? Not so fast. Marky Ramone, who debuted a Rock Scene capsule collection with Tommy Hilfiger, is indeed fluent in chic. It turns out that Marky and Tommy go way back: “I’ve known Tommy since ’86,” Marky told Chic Report. “I played in a band with his brother, Andy, and Tommy would come to rehearsals. He was just starting out at the time, working out of the trunk of his car.”
As for the inspiration for the collection? “It’s just that era of tight jeans and t-shirts and leather jackets. People are bored of the baggy look because they’ve seen it done already. I see a lot of rock bands, girls and guys, wearing tighter fits–it’s come full circle. It’s time it was brought back.” The last living member of the Ramones has a classical definition of rock ‘n roll chic: “It started with guys like Marlon Brando, James Dean, Fonzie in Happy Days then you had the Ramones and the rest is history.” (more…)
“Today in the fashion world I don’t see enough new things, I don’t see new ideas. It’s time for designers to wake up and do something new! I bought that Vogue newspaper and I was very disappointed with all that!”

Beauty Junkie braved the less than appealing weather the other morning, all in the name of finding fabulous new treats for you, chicettes. Thankfully, the folks at Physicians Formula did not disappoint. We’ve always been big fans of the “mass-tige” brand—great product, right price. And now they’ve outdone themselves by going all sorts of eco-friendly. The company’s ever-expanding Organic Wear line is certified by ECOCERT and is 100% natural. The packaging is even recyclable. Even better? You don’t have to compromise on shade ranges or results…which is just the way we like our green beauty. THE DETAILS: $7.95-$13.95 at drug stores and mass market retailers.
Carla Bruni Sarkozy finally made it to couture–and she didn’t disappoint. France’s First Lady wore an Yves Saint Laurent ‘Edition Soir’ by Stefano Pilati bustier evening dress to the 7th Annual Sidaction ‘Dîner de la mode’ dinner to close out the week.
It’s offical. Jason Wu has made it. The Presidentially-approved designer has his own first window at Bergdorf Goodman. His reaction? “I’m just absolutely ecstatic,” he told Chic Report yesterday. “But I must admit, the cover of People was pretty surreal too!”
If you’re a fan of Fafi or eclectic Parisian boutique Colette, we surmise that you’re already hooked on Married to the Mob! If you’re not in the know, Leah McSweeney broke ground when she founded the first women’s streetwear label in NYC. MTTM has since gone glam with their Colette/Reebok sneaker collab and sold-out-in-a-flash Nike Dunk High – a sneaker version of Chanel white boucle and black patent leather boots. The Spring ‘09 lookbook featuring rap artist Kid Sister has us fiending for that satin jacket, and the red slicker is sure to brighten up rainy April days. And the “Haute Couture Holler” t-shirt is the most brilliant MTTM graphic we’ve seen since the ladies put Anna Wintour’s head on a shirt. If it’s possible to fall any more in love with these sassy ladies, consider us hopeless romantics! (more…)
