This question’s about as old as black and blue, but it is almost spring. Sure, underwear as outerwear rears its head every March, but for SS10 it was, arguably, the most prevalent trend, in part because if lingerie wasn’t featured on the top of an outfit, it was visible underneath all the sheer. The other [...]

Newspaper columnist Tanya Gold writes in today’s Guardian that she used to love fashion. Now she think it’s the devil’s work. Why? Well, for one, a girl in England died because she fell onto a train track while wearing really high heels in the middle of winter. Gold also hates fashion because it encourages conspicuous [...]

Here’s the much anticipated Bruce Weber for YSL video. It’s not so much about menswear, as it is about getting naked. At the beginning, a muscled model pulls on a YSL tank top, but after that it’s full of naked women and then naked men and then a naked baby. Bruce Weber narrates, he wanted [...]

Aside from the shows themselves – Dior, Armani, Givenchy, and Chanel will carry on with a very gaping Lacroix-shaped hole – Paris is gearing up to host both the fashionable elite [...]

I bought a cable box last night so that I could relay these oh-so-insightful questions to you. Enjoy! 1. Whoops. Did anyone else forget that Project Runway is no longer on Bravo? 2. I love the challenge! Aren’t burlap sacks kind of chic? 3. Do you think Tim is sick of saying “Make it work!”? [...]

If you have a body like Lara’s, you don’t cover it up. But since it’s not appropriate to be naked at your wedding, the next best thing is a corset. Giles celebrated curves and flesh with a spring show that offered up a number of these pieces. This dress was by far the most dramatic, and we think it would make just as great a statement coming down the aisle as it did the runway.” ?>

Lara doesn’t exactly seem like the type to wear a mock turtleneck, but with some sexy black lingerie underneath, this exquisite lace number could work.” ?>

When Steff suggested this dress, everyone gasped in agreement. It’s the perfect long sheath, and it just might be our top choice. We even love it in the black.” ?>

We’re not sure whether Lara will go long or short, but if she’s leaning towards the latter, then this nude dress could be a beautiful and unconventional option.” ?>

Lara would look like a walking Calder in this dress. Perhaps she could wear this to the reception party–it would have so much movement when she dances!” ?>

If Lara and David are considering a destination wedding, then perhaps she should also consider this dress. Pucci’s breezy gown is well-suited for a sandy beach and blue skies.” ?>

For a more minimal look, this stark white, long skirt and jacket would be nice. And we’re loving the cleavage.” ?>

If Lara’s feeling sexy, she should go for this. As Steff says, \”It’s sexy all over while feigning purity.\” Plus, it’s sure to show off her best assets.” ?>

Cute, gently-priced label BB Dakota said in WWD today that its success over the last year could be credited greatly to its Twilight-inspired jackets and dresses. The brand is even introducing an entirely new range dedicated to the saga, including shoes and handbags. And the February issue of Nylon features the three stars of CW’s [...]

Remember Fake London? It was this very quirky, very British fashion label launched in 1997 by Spanish-born, UK-residing designer Desiree Mejer. The brand quickly became famous for its off-kilter interpretations of the Union Jack flag and patchwork, magpie garb. Madonna and Oasis’ Liam Gallagher were big fans, as was Gwen Stefani back in her No [...]

On the one hand, sure, when ABS rips off your designs you’re officially a big time, red carpet-destined, Rachel Zoe-championed designer. On the other hand, Prabal Gurung probably enjoys that success so much more when it comes in the form of dressing Oprah. ABS, which we’re pretty sure only re-makes designs stolen from other designers, [...]

I love Barneys New York. I think in a world where department stores are homogeneous, staid and overall unexciting, Barney’s continues to please by featuring an interesting edit of designers, from Jeffrey Monteiro at the CO-OP to Valextra in the accessories department to Michael Bastian in men’s. They’ve also kept the decor looking fresh under [...]
