Not your usual Christmas jumper

Hurry to Whistles now to grab one of their Christmas sweaters, and help out the charity Shelter at the same time. For every one of these fabulous sweaters that is sold,  25% of the purchase price will be donated to the charity, so there is even more reason to get involved in these festive fashion statements.

The dog on the above sweater is actually the pet of one of the Whistles' staff members apparently, and I have to say, that out of the set, this has to be my favorite. The other sweaters include one by stylist Fran Burns which features a Reindeer illustration (see below, top picture) and a snowflake print sweater which is the work of Christopher Simmonds, art director of creative agency Partner & Partner (see below, bottom picture).

Get them while you can, as they have been online for a while, and are selling out fast. Must be the fact that Christmas is around the corner - yippee!

Comme des Garcons Barbie, and Barbie as Rachel Zoe

Barbie has just had another makeover. This time, courtesy of Comme des Garcon's Rei Kawakubo. The limited edition doll was launched in Tokyo last week, and is wearing a photo-floral print dress, which is part of the Comme Des Garcons 'Jingle Flowers' range. Priced at 225 GBP (available from Comme des Garcons shops, and in London at Dover St Market) its not really something for children, but more for festive floral decoration/admiration.

Earlier this month barbie also took the form of super-celebrity LA stylist Rachel Zoe (complete with mini-birkin), for a one-off production to raise funds for Project Angel food. For those interested in bidding, and taking home the even tinier RZ check out charity buzz for further details.
