As we celebrate Diwali today, let’s continue our celebration of the bright lights of Indian fashion…with Anamika Khanna. Khanna showed a slightly more traditional collection this season but her modern nod to the Motherland is what gives her sitara (star) quality. It’s traditional to wear new clothes on Diwali, so I am putting this one [...]
As I get ready for Diwali, Festival of Lights, I thought it only fitting to feature a couple of bright lights of Indian fashion. First up are Rahul Khanna and Rohit Gandhi, designers for Cue. The pair showed muted sand and rose tones for Fall, with asymmetrical detailing and rich fabrics, creating highly wearable pieces [...]

Hello lover. It’s luxury calling. I’m wearing stainless steel, sapphire crystals and a little dabble of diamonds. What have you got on? Dior, mon amour… Assembled by human hands in France, it comes with an optional My Dior Bluetooth accessory. It’s as close to phone couture as you can get. Image courtesy of Dior.
I attended the wedding of my cousin in Paris recently. Yes, she really lives in Paris. It had been a while since we’d seen each other – years, in fact. I had forgotten the close connection we had, until first sight of her again. Not only was she wearing a similar outfit to the one [...]
According to WWD, Yohji Yamamoto’s company has indeed been saved from bankruptcy, as we mentioned late last week. Integral Corp is keeping the current CEO but will name a new board chairman. Yamamoto will retain a minority stake in the business and will keep on rocking the runways of Paris. Phew! B, you can stop [...]
Maison Martin Margiela has always had an air of mystique around it. Until now. The Belgian designer – and the world that surrounds him – are now an open book. The tome, by dream bookbinders, Rizzoli marks the Maison’s 20th anniversary. Here are a few snapshots… See more via a fast flip-through video of the [...]
This week, the world got a little less beautiful. Irving Penn left us at the age of 92. While dubbed a fashion and celebrity photographer, Penn photographed everything from frozen vegetables to the people of tribal cultures. What Penn brought to the likes of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar – and ultimately to us – was a clarity [...]
You won’t often see sports in this space. But when sports + fashion + hotness collide, we feel it’s our duty to report it. You’ll soon get to see this man with very little clothes on, thanks to Mr. Armani. Football superstar and famous flirt, Cristiano Ronaldo, will be posing for the designer’s new underwear [...]
There was no easier way to tell you than to just blurt it out. Yohji Yamamoto, genius fashion designer, has filed for bankruptcy. It’s true. Bloomberg reported yesterday that the Japanese business would be affected, having debts of $67 million USD. Shortly after the news, Integral Corporation issued a press release, indicating they had “entered [...]
Bottega goes bendy, with a caterpillar dress and boots. Lyrics from The Caterpillar, by The Cure.
It was tweeted, emailed, blogged and buzzed about. The McQueen Spring Summer 2010 show was all anyone could talk about the past few days – it was going to be streamed live so that Lee McQ could bring the power to the fashion people – instead of resting his vision in the hands of the [...]
Paris Vogue is pushing 90 but still has great street style. And when you are talking style in the City of Lights and couture, that street is the Champs Elysees. The mag celebrated their big birthday with a soiree last night and a month-long exhibit of their most loved covers, where else, but on the [...]
Tom Ford is not just a designer. He’s the designer who saved Gucci and the Group behind it. Tom Ford is not just a marketer. He’s an epic marketer. (See Group reference above.) Tom Ford is not just a man. He is Tom Ford – the Image. And now he’s directing moving images. His first [...]
The ahem, reVAMPed 40th anniversary issue of Interview mag is due out shortly. I thought the cover was gorg - reminds me of the mag’s heydey. Something about it also reminds me of the Patrick Nigel illustration on the cover of Duran Duran’s Rio album. Maybe it’s the angle, maybe it’s the ’80s colours, maybe it’s [...]
