I truly love my heavy duty digital camera, which I’ve lugged around with me for years now, building up my impressive biceps and blinding my friends with the ultra-bright flash in an effort to document every aspect of my fabulous life. But there’s just something about good ole’ fashion instant film that makes you wanna put all those extra pounds and megapixels on the back-burner, ya know?
The assortment that Frida Giannini delivered for resort was proof-positive that there are indeed two sides to every story. To wit: Her sartorial love letter to the disco era. At times it drew from that tradition of languid American sportswear, made iconic by both Halston (on the Studio 54 dance floor) and Bill Blass (on the shoulders of Park Ave.’s Uptown set); at others it spoke to the spirit of those hedonistic babes flitting about on the other side of the pond in Celia Birtwell’s gregarious prints, Biba’s earthy-sensual frocks, and all form of Fiorucci’s cheeky chic.
Jonathan Ive, the head of design at Apple, is reportedly designing a watch. But will we want to wear it?
Horizontal striped shirts–particularly those classic Bretons (that Coco Chanel used to wear) have definitely been having a moment over the past couple of years–a moment that no one (especially not us) wants to see end. There are more than a few of us Fashionista editors who just can’t seem to stop buying them.
As ubiquitous as they’ve become, we still want to wear striped shirts all the time. But who wants to be dressed just like every other stripe fiend walking down the street? Not us. Fortunately, designers seem to have recognized this need for cute, versatile striped shirts that have a little something different.
Following last week’s rumors that Nicolas Ghesquière would be joining LVMH as Marc Jacobs’ replacement at Louis Vuitton, comes more juicy news regarding the former Balenciaga creative director.
Earlier this month we learned that one of our favorite prime time soaps about rich people (yes, we have multiple favorites), Revenge, would be getting a clothing line. Details were sparse, and obviously we wanted to know more, so we rang costume designer Jill Ohannesson. Though a retail partner has yet to be confirmed, Ohannesson filled us in on what we can look forward to.
I’ve seen a lot of strange mascara concepts during my time as a beauty editor–vibrating wands, brushes that you can twist to change size and shape, and motorized spinning wands. But Avon’s new mascara is really throwing me for a loop.

Jason Wu is pretty much on top of the world these days. He’s Michelle Obama’s go-to designer (and thus, now, more or less a household name); he dresses tons of other celebrities as well; he has a super cute diffusion line, Miss Wu; he has a cosmetics line in the works; and he was just named the new creative director of Boss womenswear.
Before all that he was obsessed with Barbies (he had 150 of ‘em) and RuPaul. Obviously.
Michelle Obama‘s had a busy few days balancing family activities and official state visits–but obviously, she managed to dress the part perfectly for all of it.
Crop tops have been in for spring and summer for the last several seasons–of this, we are certain. One thing we aren’t as sold on? The shrunken shirt look on men, a trend that’s been (forgive us) cropping up all over the London Men’s Fashion Week runway.
