Believe it or not, we're counting down the days until football season officially kicks off. And we're not the only girls well-acquainted with the industry to say it, loud and proud.

In an attempt to target its high-fashion-adoring demographic, the NFL has tapped Marchesa's Georgina Chapman to design a limited-edition shirt for the league. According to WWD, the item is set to debut September 5 for the Giants-Cowboys opener, and should be an interesting reveal, considering Marchesa's reputation as an award season staple on the red carpet.  Now how exactly did the NFL manage to pull this one off?

Kanye, would you like to step forward and explain these new shoes?!

Hip hop artist Kanye West is flexing his design muscles at a serious cost. His Air Yeezy 2 sneakers drop Saturday at a retail value of $245, but a pre-ordered pair of his Nike shoes has made its way onto eBay for $90,100. Yes- that's five figures-nearing-six. As of 10:24 a.m. Thursday, it appears that the seller or eBay has taken the item down, with the highest asking price set at $7,000. (And here we sit in our stilettos, thinking Louboutins cost an arm and a leg.)
