The Best Shoes From the Spring 2012 Shows

While everyone else had their eyes firmly glued to the clothing trends of the SS12 season, I was fixated on the feet.

Shoe trends for SS12 come in two varieties, crazy and over-the-top or minimal and functional. The most obvious extremes are Versace’s see-through mega heels (6 inches or more!) versus Comme des Garçons’ white, almost sterile boots. In the interim are Dries van Noten’s simple strappy sandals, Chanel’s mod booties, Prada’s race car heels, Miu Miu’s kitschy knee-highs, and Proenza Schouler’s synthetic wedges.

Ten Questions for Project Runway

1. Excuse me, how many curlers does Laura need every morning? Last time I checked, she’s not rocking Kim Kardashian’s waves or anything.

2. Don’t Anya’s ears hurt from wearing those gigantic earrings everyday?

3. Did Joshua just lick a bolt of fabric at Mood? Does he just miss licking things or is it some kind of test?

4. Why do they get to finish their days before 11pm? Pretty sure they’re the only people in fashion who get to go to bed that early.

More Air Testing Confirms Hazardous Levels of Formaldehyde in the Air During Hair Straightening Procedures–So Now What?

Are you confused about all the recent hair straightening drama? Well, things aren’t really going to be crystal clear yet after this latest news. Another US federal agency just officially weighed in.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) conducted air testing in salons that use the Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution and Brasil Cacau Cadiveu, and found “hazardous levels” of formaldehyde, according to WWD. This comes a month after the FDA wrote a threatening letter to the Brazilian Blowout company that if they don’t reduce the amount of formaldehyde in the products and label the packaging more clearly, that the product would be seized.

Beyoncé Wears Clothes You Can Actually Afford (Like American Apparel) in New Video for ‘Countdown’

By Dhani Mau Friday, Oct 7, 2011 / 11:29 AM

We also love the classic film references–we spy allusions to Funny Face, Flashdance, Fame, Dreamgirls, West Side Story and maybe even A Chorus Line, Valley of the Dolls and Cactus Flower? Plus, has anyone anywhere ever looked more happy, beautiful and glowing, ever? Read more »
