Which beloved fashion critic gave the photographers a well-deserved verbal lashing at House of Holland. Pre-show, the cameramen cornered Alexa Chung and Pixie Geldof, and post-show, they tried to roll their carts over, across, and in the opposite direction of the mad dash to exit. The critic screamed, “Everyone just stop!” before muttering, “Gosh, I [...]

London Fashion Week’s gotten a bit dangerous. An invitation to yesterday’s Sass & Bide show came on plastic cut to look like broken glass (either that or a mirrored horn). It may look cool, but its sharp edges drew blood from more than one attendee. “What were they thinking?” a reporter squealed while waiting in [...]

Topshop Unique showed in Covent Garden this afternoon. Its runway was made from dried leaves, setting the mood for an animal march. Models wore elaborate headpieces–think porcupines, lions, skunks, deer–over their massively teased hair and fluffy eyebrows.

I really had grand plans for sleep, but as luck would have it, Nylon‘s Faran Krentcil checked in three doors down and made me feel like a slacker for even suggesting a nap. “It’s off to Aminaka Wilmont,” [...]

After a week of watching runways, all I want to do is shop. Thankfully, for my bank account, I can’t. And by the time I can, in September, I’ll probably want something else. (Or at least I hope that’s the way it goes, because I can’t possibly find that many perfect vintage furs.) Henry Holland’s [...]

Remember the item about Miuccia Prada’s distaste for the “curvy” extras cast for the Metropolitan Opera’s new production of Verdi’s Attila? “I cannot clothe them! I need models!” she allegedly proclaimed. Well it’s unclear how that was resolved, but a live report from today’s dress rehearsal, via Parterre Box, gives us a hint of what [...]
