Crazy Beauty Trends of the Future
Cosmoprof, held in Bologna last month (and to be held again later this summer in Las Vegas), is one of the biggest beauty trade shows in the world. In March, it gave over 2,000 companies and exhibitors a chance to show off their wares. And they’re definitely not boring.
So what were some of the trends?

Dear Chris,
Every time I go to Style.com it feels like there’s another fashion season taking place. Pre-fall, resort, pre-spring…how do you keep up? And why are the seasons broken up like that?

At last night’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund party at J.Crew, CFDA winner Billy Reid and runners up Prabal Gurung and Eddie Borgo were all on hand (along with the rest of the New York fashion world) to celebrate the limited edition collaborations they designed for the specialty retailer.
We made a beeline for Gurung, who looked J.Crew-appropriate in marinière-ish top, as this is his first time doing a design collaboration at a lower price point (though we’re still crossing our fingers that there’s some truth to the rumor of a Target collab in the near future). Unfortunately most of his capsule collection for wasn’t on display last night (it rolls out in June–Reid’s is up first in May), but Marissa Webb, J.Crew’s head of women’s design, was wearing a pair of his tuxedo pants and you’re gonna want them. (Remember those tuxedo pants from Spring 2010 that had ties around the ankle? They’re just like those. Only slightly more affordable).
So how does he feel about doing a collaboration?

Despite the fact that we are all, once again, freezing our asses off here in NYC, there’s big news in the world of sweat reduction.
ABC News and Good Morning America reported yesterday about a new laser treatment called Axilase, which can supposedly significantly and permanently reduce how much you sweat.
Before you throw away your deodorant, there are a few caveats. It’s used for hyperhydrosis, which is a condition in which you sweat excessively, and you have to have failed other more conventional therapies. So if your only issue is that you want to look cute at the gym and not sweat, you’re probably not a candidate.

Tom Ford Makes the Time 100 List (See the Other Fashion Influencers Who Made the List Too)
Every year Time magazine publishes its list of the 100 most influential people in the world. What’s great about this list is that it’s not all heads of state and scientists. Time acknowledges pop culture’s influence on the world. Fashion doesn’t always get a mention, but this year a heavy-hitter got a nod from the mag.
Tom Ford was honored, along with the people you would expect to be on this type of list, like Mark Zuckerberg and Julian Assange. Tom has obviously had quite a stellar few years, what with the growth of his beauty business, his luxe menswear, a directorial debut, and last year’s much-hyped return to women’s RTW. Rita Wilson, who frequently writes gushy things about Tom, did not disappoint in her Time tribute to him. She starts with this: “Thomas Carlyle Ford. Even his given name reflects the elegance with which it would become synonymous.” You get the idea.
WWD noted that “Ford is the only fashion industry player to make this year’s list,” but we beg to differ.

Last week, Yvonne York, the Huffington Post’s royals correspondent, rather confidently claimed that little known Brit designer Sophie Cranston was designing Kate Middleton’s wedding dress: “I’ve reported many exclusive details on the royal wedding, but my biggest scoop is undoubtedly the identity of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress designer,” she wrote. “I can reveal that Sophie Cranston of the Libélula label is said to have won the coveted commission to make Catherine’s wedding dress.”
The Daily Mail seemed to confirm the report, adding that Cranston would merely be the dressmaker while Middleton herself, drawing on her art history background, would design her own wedding dress.
Speculation over who would design Kate’s wedding dress has run rampant: everyone from Bruce Oldfield to Sarah Burton at McQueen to Jasper Conran has been named as a possible contender for the job. So if it seemed too good to be true that the wedding dress mystery would be solved so neatly (and that the commission had gone to a little known designer), that’s because it was.

Sneak Peek: ASOS Fall 2011
ASOS and its affordable, adorable, perfectly on-trend offerings has made believers out of fashion lovers on this side of the pond, and we’re no exception. And after leaving the fall 2011 presentation yesterday, we wanted to skip spring altogether and go right to fall. Almost.
There are several distinct collections at ASOS for fall, each with its own vibe and price point. The Black and White collections are the most high-end, with prices ranging from $200-$400. Black skews evening, with elaborate laser-cut neoprene dresses and slick metallic pants, while White is dressy daytime.
