The comp features 10 potential future Dixons, Badays, Lynns and beyond, in search of Iconic Power, this year’s theme. David Dixon [...]
Friday night might arrive without a suitcase, but there may be a handbag in tow. Talk about an unlikely duo. Rei Kawakubo and The Beatles are the latest fashion celebrity marriage. The avant-garde goddess is designing handbags for Apple Corps – managers and marketers of the Beatles’ legacy. The bags will hit the über cool [...]
The Swedes have gone French. Sonia Rykiel is the next guest designer to collaborate with H&M. Look for a lingerie line, launching December 5th, followed by knits and accessories in February 2010. The French twist is that the line will also be available in Rykiel stores. Pics to follow as soon as we get them!
Okay, so who says you have to leave the goth girl inside? So what if she hasn’t been out in 100 Years? At least she’s coming out in style. Grimly fiendish or not, a girl’s goth to have McQueen’s snakeskin knuckle duster clutch. Available on www.alexandermcqueen.com right now.
Mr. McQueen is coming over to my house. And yours. The Alexander McQueen Spring Summer 2010 show will be streamed LIVE on AlexanderMcQueen.com on October 6th, in collaboration with SHOWStudio. God bless the Internet and GOD SAVE McQUEEN! Don’t know about you, but I have butterflies just thinking about it! Photo courtesy of www.style.com.
While we love his menswear, his sunglasses, his scent (okay, the scents he created) and his divine film (yes, yes, that post on my time with Tom @ TIFF will follow soon, I promise! Update Oct 5: the post is here…) there is one thing we love more. And that’s Tom designing for our team. [...]
Skin is in at Chado Ralph Rucci…but not in the way that you think. Scantily clad male ballet dancers can be all over you, too, courtesy of this gorgeous gown from the designer’s Spring Summer 2010 collection. Photo courtesy of Style.com.
The first day of Fall is tomorrow, but I have Spring Fever! First there was New York Fashion Week - which for all intents and purposes – was a bit of a yawner. [Don't worry, the non-yawny bits will be featured here in the coming weeks.] God bless the Brits, then for their interpretation of Spring. Take these [...]
Here I am, Sunday night…and I have no idea what to wear to work tomorrow. It’s that inbetween weather – neither cold nor hot, still sort of summer, but not quite autumn. So, I avoided thought of it and decided to figure it out tomorrow (read: I’ll be late for work)…opting to catch up on [...]
It’s been a busy few weeks, my darling readers…and I haven’t been able to keep up with all the activity. There are the Paris adventures of a retail nature – great shopping tips to tell you about which will take a few posts at least. There is the rest of NYFW and the fashion weeks [...]
If you don’t already know it, Jeremy Laing is a star. His SS10 collection at New York Fashion Week is living proof. The collection combined Laing’s perfect cuts and edge with a good use of mathematics. Yes, you heard me correctly – math. Laing must have had his ruler and calculator out to come up [...]
…from blah to brilliant. Full post soon. [Update Oct 4: the post is up!]
Every girl needs a little frou frou now and again. If you are going to frou, why not frolick in feathers, then? Jason Wu’s petite plume frock adds the perfect pouf-la-la for any night out. The rest of his collection at NYFW wasn’t memorable enough for moi, but I enjoyed this number. More posts to [...]
Here are a few snippets from the Yigal Azrouël collection from New York Fashion Week. His collection combined simple fabrics, asymmetrical lines and a little drape to create just enough drama, without over-acting. There were these gorgeous column dresses, flattering to curves and angles, alike. This drapy dress would look great over skinnies or the new, [...]
After the light, airy numbers for summer, every girl needs a little edge. Enter Christopher Kane for Topshop this Fall. An LBD, a platform tassle boot and some studly adornment. Dressed and done. Photo source.
