Parsons has given us an exclusive first look at this year’s Designer of the Year candidates in women’s wear–and considering that past winners have included Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler, you’ll definitely want to get a sneak peek at these designs–and hear from these young designers themselves
About this time every year, we find ourselves spending an inordinate amount of time day-dreaming about our summer vacations–and even more time fantasizing about what we’ll wear on them. Somehow dressing for vacation is just always more fun than dressing for real life. That being said, it’s often hard to find exactly the right of Read more →

Clearly we’re a little influenced by the Met Ball’s punk theme this May, though we’re planning to balance that out with a classic cobalt Madewell purse and a dream trip to the Outer Banks courtesy of Purple Diary.
Part of a trio of magazines that launched in 1980–which also included i-D and The Face–Blitz was the subversive fashion brainchild of university students Carey Labovitch and Simon Tesle.
Former Blitz fashion editor Iain R. Webb has combined his impressive archive of photos with personal anecdotes from the models, photographers, and artists involved with each shoot for this unique take on the history of the mag in As Seen in BLITZ, out this month. Many of the images (including a rather unforgettable collage of Vogue editor Hamish Bowles in a Chanel twinset, a fresh-out-of-Parsons Marc Jacobs) haven’t been seen since they were first published in the pages of Blitz 30 years ago. Here’s what Webb had to say about Blitz‘s heyday.

This coming Sunday, May 12 (Mother’s Day! Don’t forget!), the Style Network will debut fashion’s latest reality show: XOX, Betsey Johnson.
The debut follows a pretty tumultuous year for the energetic designer, from declaring bankruptcy and closing all her stores, to throwing a huge 70th birthday bash, to Steve Madden taking over her company. We got a sneak peek at the first episode, and Betsey is surprisingly open about her past business problems and, well, everything–from her relationship with her daughter to what’s really inside her water bottle while she’s working out with her trainer (a mimosa). We recommend watching–it’s quite entertaining.
Read on for our interview with Betsey, in which she dishes on the state of her business, why she agreed to do the show in the first place, her new job “without the hard stuff,” and what she thinks of the whole punk-themed Met gala (which she did not attend).
Kerry Washington–stylish, poised, and talented (not to mention stunning)–is a tailor-made fashion mag cover girl if we ever saw one. Still, until now, she’d only covered a few niche titles like Ebony, Essence, and Women’s Health. Why?
Galliano’s not going. See who is.
