The hats were the first thing you noticed.
They were mostly black, some blue, and inspired by Picasso‘s paper guitar sculpture. Some sat like angular little pill boxes on the model’s heads, others were more sombrero-like, drizzled with happenstance graphics that could have been brushed on that morning.
But this was Oscar de la Renta Resort, not a millinery show, so we should probably talk about the clothes, too.

Hailee Steinfeld, who has worn designer frocks on the red carpet with more aplomb than actresses twice her age, is now the new face of Miu Miu. Prada reps and Steinfeld’s stylist Karla Welch both confirmed this to various media sources on Monday. Welch told the Daily Beast, “Miu Miu is such a perfect fit for her. Throughout awards season, they were the dresses she wanted to wear.” The Fall/Winter 2011 campaign has already been shot, but no details are available about it.
The 14-year-old pretty quickly won the respect of the fashion industry with her sophisticated yet entirely age appropriate red carpet choices.

lthough summer is typically blockbuster season–wherein each weekend, a movie like Bridesmaids or Super 8 is sure to dominate box offices–this summer’s lineup boasts a heavy dose of films that are a little more up our alley. Of course, we love a good comedy/action film/romcom, and any excuse to escape summer heat and sit in air conditioning for two hours is a good one. However, if we can spend those two hours learning about fashion, that $12.50 just feels a little less wasted, especially when our options are as good as the following:

From V’s Asian Issue to the pages of Vogue UK, stylists and photographers are looking east for inspiration. I blame it on Marc Jacobs’ SS11 show for Louis Vuitton, but economists may blame it on the booming market in Asia. Whatever the reason, nothing is more en vogue than referencing the far east.

Prada‘s approach to marketing–whether that’s through the internet, billboards, or within its own boutiques–is usually a mix of high fashion, high art, and high thinking. That’s why we’re psyched for the brand’s latest exhibit, “From Drawings to Pictures,” which highlights two new, limited edition styles from its Minimal Baroque eyewear collection.
Instead of, you know, just putting out an advertisement, Prada asked three illustrators to interpret the glasses through drawings. Then Vogue Italia and Prada chose eight photographers to create pop/comic-inspired images of the sunnies. There’s something quite surrealist about the whole thing.
The result is a mini-exhibit on display at Prada stores in Milan, New York, Madrid, Paris, London, Istanbul and Hong Kong starting tomorrow, May 17. Click through for more images from the show. Read more »

Let’s face it: tan skin hasn’t really gone out of style since the heyday of the ’80s when girls slathered baby oil on themselves and baked in their backyards. There was possibly a brief stint in the ’90s–the heroin chic era–when a golden tan wasn’t quite as desirable, but it’s never really disappeared. Now it’s come roaring back with a vengeance.
From the boom of Brazilian models like Gisele and Alessandra Ambrosio to the caricature of tanning portrayed on Jersey Shore, a glow has never been more desirable. And thanks to a certain very tan British family, the trend is guaranteed to stick around for awhile.
