Most of the time, Im looking for stories on politics and issues of the day. But this morning, this little blurb on the NY Times site caught my attention. Matthew Mellon, scion of the Mellon and Drexel financial families, ex-husband to Jimmy Choo shoe magnate Tamara Mellon, and tasteful art collector (The walls [..] are lined with paintings by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst, Peter Beard and, Mr. Mellon said, “Taylor Swift.” “You mean Sam Taylor-Wood,” Ms. Hanley Mellon said.) is launching a new clothing line with his second wife, Nicole Hanley Mellon.

The Hanley Mellon line will have 10 pieces of clothing, including a coat and blouses meant to be wardrobe staples for a jet-set life, priced from $250 to $2,000. read more [Forwarded by the MyLeftBlogosphere news engine.
