Attention, Anna Wintour Fans: Join Her Fan Club for 50 Quid!

Love Anna? Britt‘s latest tip: Those in London are in luck. The city’s Urban Outfitters is selling a tote with the words “FAN CLUB ANNA WINTOUR” scribbled on the front. It’s £50, which is about $77. Urban Outfitters is a bit more high-end in Europe, so we’re doubtful this’ll be available at stores in the [...]

London’s Top Five, So Far

1. Aquascutum‘s camel coats. Freja wore a short, empire waisted jacket with long slim sleeves. Its broad collar poured over her shoulders and it was nipped in with a chocolate brown leather belt. It’s too grown up for me when paired with the wide-leg slacks Michael Herz showed–but with jeans, it’d be perfect. 2. Topshop‘s [...]

Quote of the Day: Managing Gaga

“The only thing I do is manage the vision. Ninety-five percent of the time I won’t comment on creative, and 95% of the time she lets me run the business. The other 5% is where we debate about things like, ‘Do you really want to bleed to death on stage at the [MTV] VMAs?’ She [...]

When we walked into Matthew Williamson, a woman with a video camera grabbed us. “What are you most looking forward to seeing at this show?” “Rainbows! Feathers! Sequins!” I answered. Instead, we got tweed and suede (where velvet would’ve been in New York) with pops of bright color and studded belts that I swear he [...]

Bandanas & Door Knockers at House of Holland

Henry Holland’s House of Holland is like the British version of Charlotte Ronson‘s New York show — a party atmosphere with snap happy cameramen crushing a celebrity packed front row and a runway full of fun, wearable clothes. This time around Henry looked back, stamping t-shirts with abbreviations like, “S.T.F.U.” instead of slogans like, “Get [...]

It’s day three of London Fashion Week. What’s everyone talking about? 1. Hannah Holman. Remember when Kate mentioned she’d be huge? And then she starred in Alex Wang’s lookbook? She popped up on Mary Katrantzou’s runway yesterday afternoon and the girl can walk. It’s time for Style.com to make her a model tag. 2. The [...]
