Not Joking, Hanson Have Brewed a Beer Called 'MmmHops'

A weekly roundup of anything fashion-related that's made us excited about having bodies that we can dress with clothes.

GIRL GAZE IS OUR FAVOURITE NEW NUDEY ZINE

We've been a fan of Arvida Bystrom since she shot some boob pics in public places for us, and then went and basically lived in a webcam with her new boyfriend for a week. Aside from putting herself in incredibly stressful and exposed situations all for the love of exploring concepts of privacy online, Arvida is also an amazing photographer and a super dedicated, informed feminist. In her new zine girl gaze, she's taken a series of nude portaits of men in intimate environments in order to "objectify and sexualise them" in a comment on female representation in the media.

LONG HAIR DON'T CARE

In possibly the best branding idea of all time, ultimate dream boyband Hanson, probably jaded by old age and short hair, have developed their own brand of locally-brewed IPA called, yes I know you already know because you saw it in the title but still, drumroll please……… MMMHOPS! You can't actually buy the beer yet, but you can buy the T-shirt, which I guess is kind of like when you couldn't snog the underage one, but you could make-out with a poster of him. Sure, maybe it's a massive publicity stunt (it is) but it still reminds me of being too young to drink and for that I'll happilly get wasted on anyone's vanity project.

BARBIE SHOES FOR GROWNUPS

Your first pair of jelly shoes are probably a treasured memory, stowed away in the same place your keep those baby pink flared jogging bottoms and stonewashed JLo flares (never forget). Remember the good times? Running into the sea in your SHOES and coming out all sparkling and smelling of wet plastic? Yearn. Well good news, the JuJu X Cassette Playa collaboration means you can once again sparkle and smell, and you don't even need to get in the ocean. (But you can. I'm going to.)

Carrie took the classic heeled "Babe" style shoe (the one you always wanted but were never allowed) and produced it in "glow in UV" colours. We love the pink ones in a Barbie dream home meets Tyra Banks meets Lizzie Maguire way. Wear yours with rectangular black sunglasses, a beret and a Disney star smirk.

MARC BY MARC JACOBS ANNOUNCE NEW GIRL POWER TEAM

And finally, some genuine fashion news: Marc Jacobs' line Marc by Marc Jacobs (so that's Marc Jacobs, in case you hadn't got that) has handed the reins of control over to British powerhouses Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley. This is really big news, not only because creative control has never been delegated at MBM before, but also because it's fallen into the hands of Katie and Luella, the latter of whom's personal line – which, although now defunct – was the stuff of dreams. Hopefully she will incorporate some of her trademark girly finish to the super luxe accessories-driven aesthetic Hillier champions. Between them, I doubt anyone is worried for the future of the line (ahem, no Saint Laurent drama here please). In fact, ohmygod, maybe it will actually be better? Prepare to be upstaged, Marc.
