Adventures in Copyright: Ruffle Us This

We’re usually drooling over Christian Louboutin’s killer pumps, but the Spring 09 Adona have had our hearts beating fast since we laid eyes on their first incarnation on Phillip Lim’s runway. Surprising to learn ASOS and Pour La Victoire are also big fans – they’ve gone ahead and knocked off the darling shoe. The Louboutins [...]

Welcome Back, Winona

We love the special subscriber’s cover of Elle UK that just arrived in our inbox (and hits newsstands tomorrow). It’s Winona at her absoute pixieish best, perhaps being plucked from what was really starting to look like fashion and film obscurity. And the coverline, one of the most written about tattoos of all time, is [...]

Whose Reality?

Givenchy gave WWD a sneak peek of their new campaign and change abounds. Inez and Vinoodh have shot for Ricardo Tisci for the past nine seasons, but Mert and Marcus did the honors for the AW09 collection. Their spreads – for glasses, bags and clothes – feature Mariacarla (duh), Iris Strubegger (who’s officially everywhere), Leonor [...]

Theodora Richards has left IMG to join her sister Alexandra on Wilhelmina’s roster. IMG plays home to all the rock star kids: Lou Doillon, Julia Roitfeld, Liv Tyler, Elettra Rossellini, Daisy Lowe (yes, we use the term rock star liberally), but the gorgeous blond Richards sisters, daughters of Rolling Stone Keith and model Patti Hansen, [...]

Trovata to Montauk

The best bit of everything we learned this weekend: Trovata’s popping up. We were in Montauk for Sergio Rossi’s dinner in honor Alexandra Richards’ Social Life cover, which was held at Sole East, when we learned that the back of the hotel will soon play host to a Trovata pop-up shop. It’s kind of the [...]

Burberry Back To London!

Come September, Burberry will be showing its S/S ’10 Prorsum collection back in Blighty, instead of their usual showing in Milan. We couldn’t be more excited since we don’t usually make the trip to Italy and missing this show is one of the reasons that is a major bummer. The brand is coming home to [...]

WWWWD: The Body Issue

The latest edition of WWWWD has arrived, just in time for the weekend. We have yet to figure out who exactly is behind the pub, but that certainly does not lessen our enjoyment while reading. Here are just a few of our favorite mock moments from “The Body Issue” —Gisele’s transformation into supermodel. It involves [...]

Have a good one. {StyleFile} Girls On Film: The Mulleavys muse about movies. Just when we thought it wasn’t possible to [...]

Adventures in Copyright: Leggo Our Sergio

The fact that Jessica Simpson has anything to do with making shoes still makes us want to rip our hair out and shout obscenities. And we think it’s safe to assume that it always will. So when a dear reader sent us this beyond blatant rip off the pop-turned-country singer’s company did of this banded [...]

Jewel Of The Nail

We heart Essie nail polish. Really, what would the world be without Ballet Slippers? And we totally swooned the first time we saw those neon shades they’re doing. But until today, we never thought anything of major value could come out of our manis. (Unless you count breaking a nail biting habit.) The polish people [...]
