Sponsored (like the Vichy box) or curated (Teen Vogue, Gossip Girl, goop)? I believe we were told that they would be dong a curated box with, crap, can't remember the name of the fashion house. I think it was the one that stirred up an epic shitstorm when they did a collaboration with MAC inspired by factory workers in Ciudad Juarez in Mexico, which also happens to be an utter hellhole nightmare of a town notorious for a horrifically high rape rate and human and drug trafficking. The collection was pulled before it was even released. Ah! Rodarte! That's their name, and I managed to find a MUT thread about that whole nastiness
here.
ANYWAY. Now that I have the name, I was able to confirm: That collaboration between Rodarte and Birchbox is on the way, although my guess is that it will coincide with one of the months when big fashion shows are happening. I would not be surprised if it was the September box to coincide with
Fashion's Night Out, which was right after Labor Day in 2012.
