Up for representation in the next sartorial installation at Opening Ceremony -Japan! Arriving on the racks at some point in August, this fall collection will highlight labels such as: Hiromi Tsuyoshi, Lad Musician, Cosmic Wonder, United Arrows (Beauty & Youth), Green, End Pin, G.V.G.V, Whereabouts and many more. But the cream of your pants part…an in-store Comme des Garcons pop-up shop. This “Opening Ceremony presents Middle Space/Comme des Garcons” shop will have the entire fragrance line, wallet collection (which we’ve highlighted before) and select items from the Play collection. As to be expected from OC, they will also have exclusives of Japanese kicks from Pendleton, Nike Sportswear, Redwing and Converse. Naturally, there will also be toys -Opening Ceremony collaborated with Sanrio to create toy vending machines in the store. 80% of Tokyo’s mass consists of vending machines, convenience stores and arcades -a little fun fact learned during a visit.
This ‘Beats in Space’ tee is an exclusive color version for Colette. It’s in celebration of Tim Sweeney’s long standing radio show and includes an exclusive CD mix. Limited to 50 sets. You can purchase it HERE.

Question: What is On The Runway (answered correctly by one of the male contestants)
The Army of M.E. has a lot of love and respect for Cathy Horyn and we consider her On The Runway blog imperative reading for all who are stylish. We learned a lot from her comments during the Blog:Mode panel discussion at the Met a few months back -especially when she mentioned the importance of the regulars who comment on her blog and how she’s built relationships with some of them. Aww. She’s got all the smart style sense sans the pretension -as we declared month’s ago Wintour is over!
We never ran the story that broke last week about Peter Som leaving Bill Blass. It was mostly because it was everywhere and we hate running a story that has thoroughly infiltrated the web. The story being spread was that Blass execs decided to skip NY Fashion Week and Som resigned. However, in breaking news the Army of M.E. just learned he will not be leaving (at least not right now). Som and the shareholders have come to a resolution which keeps Som on board to present the Spring 2009 collection to retailers only for Fashion Week.
The Marc rumor about him planning to get married to his 3-month-long beau, Lorenzo Martone, that began circulating last week is also not true. Fashion Week Daily did some super sleuthing and got the following statements: “They’re just rumors” - a rep at the press office at Louis Vuitton in Paris. “There’s no truth to it at all.” -Kate Waters of MJ PR office in NY. She also continued to say, “Marc did not get married -nor does he have any plans to.”
Riotous laughter rings throughout the bunkers of the Army of M.E. Oliver Stone ponders what drove George W. Bush from nearly getting his ass kicked by his dad in Texas to sitting in the oval office of the White House? I can say with confidence it was Dick Cheney in the driver’s seat, Donald Rumsfeld in shotgun and Karl Rove was in the back seat screaming at Dick and reaching forward, grabbing at the wheel. GW Bush was either tied up like a hog in the trunk or not invited on the joyride at all…that’s the nicest thing I’ve ever said about George Bush ever. Enjoy…
