Michael Kors then shoots a linked email when the customer likes a shoppable photo on Instagram. Thousands of brands, bloggers and retailers post products to Instagram every day, but due to the social media site's "no-links handicap," they can't link out to those products for followers to buy. "MStars News" recently reported that Marc Jacobs Beauty debuted a solution to this frustrating problem by creating a Shop via @MarcBeauty Instagram website. Nordstrom has also developed programs that make its images on Instagram shoppable. Read More »
Want to be the next Rihanna, Nicki Minaj or Miley Cyrus? MAC's looking for six new faces, and it's relying on the Internet to find them! In a new initiative called MACnificent Me, potential campaign stars are asked to submit a few things to MAC's website, including your "Mantra" of 140 characters or less. Contestants are then asked to post their mantra all over social media: Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. Getting lots of shares or likes won't help get you into the top six, MAC says, but "it will definitely help you grab our attention — which is never a bad thing when it comes time to make our final decisions." The six winners will be shot by a "prestigious fashion photographer" to appear in the fall 2015 ad campaign. How exciting! Check out a promo video clip for the campaign below: Read More »

Last month, "MStars News" reported that U.S. officials seized $1.8 million worth of counterfeit Hermès bags. But that seemingly large counterfeiting problem doesn't seem to have done much damage to the French luxury heritage brand's own handbag business, as sales have been steadily increasing. According to "Fashionista," Hermès said Thursday, Nov. 13, that revenue increased by a healthy 11 percent to 990.6 million euros — $1.2 billion — in the third quarter of 2014, and much of that was thanks to demand for the brand's French-made, high-end leather goods. That category grew 15 percent. Ready-to-wear also fared pretty well, growing 13 percent over the quarter, underlining what we knew: Recently departed Creative Director Christophe Lemaire has left some pretty big shoes to fill.
