On Sunday night, HBO will air the season three finale of Game of Thrones, after which we will enter a long, bleak Daenerys-less summer. Sure we’ll have no more character deaths to mourn, but we also won’t be able to marvel at the hair and costumes.
So we hopped on the phone with the show’s genius hair designer, Kevin Alexander, for a marathon-length chat about the style and symbolism of the characters’ various ‘dos this season.
Between Dior’s spring 2013 campaign and fall 2013 collection, there’s no doubt which artistic movement gets Raf Simons’s motor running. Pretty much everything he’s done at the storied house has had a surrealist vibe to it. But for Dior’s fall 2013 campaign, Simons, ever the art historian, mixed things up a bit, keeping the dream-like quality of surrealism–and adding a dash of impressionism and rococo.
Giorgio Armani, one of the most talented, iconic and successful designers of our time, often surprises us in interviews by expressing so much dissatisfaction with the fashion industry–particularly in Milan.

We’re counting down the seconds until we can watch season four of Arrested Development, which hits Netflix at midnight PST on Monday!
To celebrate, we put together a little shopping guide based on some of our favorite Arrested Development gags–because while it’s fun to dress up in costume, we also don’t mind buying things that we can wear again.
Danielle Helayel, Issa London‘s founder and creative director of 12 years, has left the company, WWD is reporting.
The designer of Kate Middleton’s headline-making engagement dress (and countless others) is jumping ship at a time of rapid growth for the company (which that dress undoubtedly jumpstarted).
Today, Tumblr–home of gifs, memes, and NSFW photos–joins the ranks of corporate America: It’s just been bought by Yahoo for $1.1 billion.
Besides goofy cat videos and loads (seriously, loads) of porn, Tumblr also hosts one of the most passionate, creative, and irreverent fashion communities out there on the internets. So now the question is: How will that community, which so far has thrived on the free-for-all vibe that prevails at Tumblr, be affected by the new acquisition?
