Beverly Hills: Um...The Beverly Hills Hotel Might Have Something to Say About This T-Shirt

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/thebeverlyhillstshirt.JPG" class="top"> The other day we spotted this t-shirt inside the men's department at Bloomingdale's and did a serious double-take. The Altru clothing brand has totally lifted the logo for the famous <a href=""http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Beverly+Hills+Hotel/local/1713>Beverly Hills Hotel</a> as seen on its exterior. <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/wtob_bevhillshotel.jpg" class="top"> Initially we for sure thought the hotel would be upset about this but the Altru Apparel <a href="http://www.altruapparel.com">website</a> does have licenses for its other t-shirt imagery. So perhaps BHH is down with it after all? Yet if you want the real thing, the <a href="http://shop.thebeverlyhillshotel.com/products.php?pid=776">hotel's online shop</a> sells a black and pink version for ladies for $80. Men can snap up a pink polo shirt with the logo in the left corner for $71. [Photos:

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/MarcKeychains.jpg" class="top"> Back in January, we asked a simple <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/1/3/23518/11888/hotels/Will+Marc+Jacobs+Be+The+Next+Fashion+Designer+To+Do+a+Hotel%3F">question</a>: "Will Marc Jacobs be the next fashion designer to do a hotel?" Today, we have the answer, thanks to a chat with Robert Duffy, President of Marc Jacobs International and a longtime friend of the Marc. We were covering the opening of the new Bookmarc store for <a href="http://ny.racked.com/archives/2010/09/07/exclusive_marc_jacobs_cafe_coming_to_uptown.php">Racked NY</a>, but we couldn't resist asking Duffy about the possibilities of a Hotel MJ. Although you can buy "Hotel Marc Jacobs" keychains at a few of the designer's Bleecker Street boutiques in New York, Robert Duffy assured us that a hotel is not in the works. They have been approached by many chains to do projects like what Missoni

The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/12/21/234156/80/hotels/Todd_English_to_Open_an_Upscale_Food_Hall_Inside_The_Plaza">Todd English</a> food hall is expected to open sometime this spring and two new stores have just announced they will be opening up shop very soon. The fashion house of Emanuel Ungaro, which recently closed its shop on Madison Avenue (pictured), will reopen inside The Plaza on April 25th followed by artisanal stationer, Connor Papers, on May 1.Considering that a bakery moved out earlier this year citing the presence of "unknown retailers", we do hope these new tenants will give The Plaza shops some life. And we

New York: Indulge Your Lederhosen Fantasies With The Standard's Biergarten Shirt

JetSetCD — 2010-01-05T09:04:28-05:00

The winter weather might be keeping The Standard New York's Biergarten restaurant shuttered 'til springier temperatures, but that doesn't mean the faux Oktoberfest frivolity has to stop. To make sure you are always properly dressed for slamming steins, The Standard has rolled out T-shirt versions of the traditional German dirndl and lederhosen outfits.

You can get them for $35 each in The Standard's online store, keeping company with such personal favorites as The Standard's grey flip flops and their $425 bed coverlet.

The men's version, after the jump.
