Sao Paulo Fashion Week’s Hottest Models on the Differences Between Sao Paulo and New York

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending Sao Paulo Fashion Week for the first time. Despite still being in its infancy, it is definitely a legitimate event that deserves recognition for many reasons; but I did notice some marked differences between SPFW and NYFW, which I’m much more familiar with. Some examples: everything takes Read more →

Ellus Fall 2012: Playing with Texture

Ellus Fall 2012: Playing with Texture

SAO PAULO–Ellus set the stage for a standout show with an amazing live string quartet (mixed with electronic beat) and a unique stage backdrop, which looked like a wall taken right out of your living room. And happily, the clothes did not disappoint, easily matching the set’s glamour and sophistication.

The face of the brand Aline Weber (who is Brazilian, duh) opened the show with an all black ensemble that was anything but boring, combining leather, sequins and wool in an artful blend of textures–certainly a promise of what was to come.

The 25 Best Fashion Editorials of 2011

It happens every year: Our ever-growing pile of fashion magazines inches higher with each passing month, and by the time December rolls around, we can barely sift through the hundreds of stylish images we bookmarked for inspiration. 2011 was no exception, and in a year that celebrated retro supermodels, androgyny, vivid colors, and plenty of experimentation in the beauty department, choosing our favorites was particularly difficult.

The best editorials of the year ran the gamut from huge ensemble casts of blue-chip models styled by greats like Katie Grand and Carine Roitfeld, to intimate, one-on-one portraits of our favorite girls like Lindsey Wixson and Daria Werbowy. The acid brights that dominated the spring collections allowed for some pretty trippy trend stories last season, but the fall glossies featured much moodier imagery, with a number of gorgeous spreads in black and white.

Here are the editorials from 2011 that will stay tacked up on our walls and fill our inspiration boards well into the new year—and beyond.

Ranking the Fall Ads, Part 1

Ranking the Fall Ads, Part 1

Just as summer temperatures are rising, the fashion world is bracing for the fall with ad campaigns being released by the minute.

So far we’ve seen Prada’s girlish campaign of new models, Helena Bonham Carter making faces for Marc Jacobs, and lap dogs and handcuffs at Louis Vuitton.

It sure seems like the trend in fall advertising is to present a forceful image that reeks of brand identity, meaning: all the ads you’re about to see are amazingly great. Even though they’re ranked from 1 to 14, they’re mostly in the A+ range.

Click through our slide show of fall’s campaigns and let us know which is your favorite!

Explain

Tyra’s Delayed Fashion Forward Thinking

Remember this Alexander Wang dress? Its evolution started with a runway debut on Aline Weber last September, hopped right to a V Magazine party that same week on Anja Rubik, and quickly became the new Prada lace, popping up in every single editorial until even Topshop attempted to rip it off, disastrously, and everyone who’d Read more →
