Warm up those credit cards, ladies!

A little birdie dropped us a note:

"IT’S THE GREAT EBAY FASHION AUCTION, CHARLIE BROWN!

Following the First-Ever “MetLife Snoopy in Fashion” Runway Show

A sexy Isaac Mizrahi dress featuring Charlie Brown’s signature zig-zag, a bright yellow feathered Woodstock cocktail dress by Project Runway’s Laura Bennett, a bedazzled Sally frock designed by Tony Award-winner Kristin Chenoweth—these and dozens of other Peanuts-inspired designs by the leading names in fashion will be auctioned off on eBay (www.ebay.com/snoopyinfashion) and the proceeds donated to charity beginning Monday, October 1.

The MetLife Snoopy in Fashion Auction will begin on eBay on October 1, 2007. The designs will be auctioned off throughout the month of October."

Laura’s Woodstock dress goes on sale Oct. 11th and the PigPen gown on Oct. 21st.

Snoopy in Fashion Spring 2008 Collection

As you might remember, Laura showed her creations at the MetLife Snoopy in Fashion show on Friday in Bryant Park and sure, we may be just a tad biased, but try and tell us that hers weren't the best pieces in the show.


CAMILLA! Girl, we missed you! LOVE the dress; not so much on the hat.

And we just want to do a little shoutout to all those fools who claim that Laura designs dreary old lady clothes. Two words, bitches: BULL and SHIT. That is fun and flirty and girly and YOUNG.


Frederique Van Der Waal (with her daughter Skyler) modeled the Pigpen dress. Gorge.

As for the rest of the pieces (designed by, among others, Betsey Johnson, Isaac Mizrahi, Heatherette, and (ew) Elizabeth Hasselbeck), they were either too literal (did none of these designers think for a moment "Yeah, I probably shouldn't do that zig-zag stripe because everyone'll be doing it?") or obscure to the point that there's no way of knowing which character they're supposed to be portraying.


Who? Who are these outfits supposed to represent?

Okay, cute and thematically appropriate, but were there more than ten minutes of thought put into either of these looks?

We don't know what the hell the guy on the left is supposed to be (but thanks for the legs!). On the right? Yawn.

WHAT.
THE.
HELL?

Enh.

Double enh.

Triple.

Some of these models wandered in from a different show, right?

You gave her a blankie and put her in a black dress and she's supposed to be Linus? How...clever.

We love the one on the left, which looks exactly like something a Peanuts girl would wear. The right - who knows?


All of the designs will be auctioned on eBay in October to raise money for Dress for Success, so save your pennies, gals. You could have a Laura Bennett original AND help out a worthy cause.

You can watch the entire show (or highlights) here.

Laura Bennett, working for Peanuts.

You better love us, bitches. Because we bring you the scoop!


"Good grief" turns into fashion relief as MetLife presents a group designer fashion show featuring exclusively designed fashions for Snoopy on September 7 at 6 p.m. as part of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Bryant Park. Many of fashion’s most renowned designers have confirmed their participation, including Heatherette, Isaac Mizrahi, Betsey Johnson, Pamella Roland, and Project Runway alum Laura Bennett. Each designer has taken inspiration from their favorite Peanuts character to create a couture runway outfit, making a bold leap from initial black-and-white sketch to vibrant, colorful ensemble.

Following the MetLife Snoopy in Fashion show, Peanuts fans and fashionistas alike will share the opportunity to bid on the unique designer runway creations in an eBay auction. Proceeds from the MetLife Snoopy in Fashion auction will benefit Dress for Success, a non-profit organization which promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support, and the career development tools to help them thrive in work and in life."

And because we're so fabulously glamorous, we broke into Laura's loft and stole her sketches! We do it all for you, kittens!




How frigging GORGEOUS are those dresses?
