Last season we decided that seeing one collection and one look at a time was not a good enough way to determine color trends. You can’t remember everything all at once. (At least, those of us who haven’t been blessed with a photographic memory cannot.) So what’s one to do? Put all the collections together, of course.
It’s been a year and a half since Carine Roitfeld vowed to “never use a cigarette again in any shoot,” but it looks like the editrix may have already forgotten her declaration.
Bugs have infested the runway.
Thank goodness designers are finding plenty of ways to play with the animal print.
For Numéro France’s March issue, Sebastian Kim photographed white model Ondria Hardin with darkened skin in an editorial called “African Queen.” Unsurprisingly, it pissed off a lot of people.
Numéro has since released a statement on its Facebook page apologizing and explaining its decision to create and publish this story.
Well, I’m not convinced.
The words “timeless” and “elegant” were being thrown around a lot in Milan, especially the first few days of the collections. And we admit that when we think of Milan, home of Versace and Roberto Cavalli, those aren’t the immediate words that come to mind. Until now.
If there’s anything we’ve learned from red carpets (and press releases), it’s that who wears what on Oscar night–not to mention the Golden Globes and SAGs–is a big deal for a designer.
So, without furthur ado, the top celeb placements for the 2013 awards season go to…
Burberry debuted their new nail polish line in a sultry dark, classic red. More specifically, in oxblood. And it wouldn’t be a Burberry show without a trench coat or two to match. It wasn’t long before we noticed the color showing up elsewhere in London.
Vinyl, PVC, and latex clothing usually send one’s mind straight to the gutter. Or to a vision of a catsuit. It’s certainly not versatility, wearability, or comfort. I know it’s not just me.
However, fall/winter 2013 is putting a spin on these preconceptions, with plenty of bright, shiny, and kinky nuggets.
Gucci really knows how to make a first impression, and what better way to do that than nabbing the cover of a magazine? How about 81 of them?
It looks like Gucci’s overachieving has awarded them the top spot in the seasonal cover war with more covers than any other brand from the fall 2012 collections.

Layering is a staple for cold fall/winter climates. With warmth a priority, designers only have so many options to show customers how to bundle up in as chic a manner as possible. So, how about doubling up on coats? That appears to be the message this fall, with collections from Altuzarra, DKNY and The Row pairing short coats over long coats.
Fur sure makes a statement, but patterned fur makes an even bigger one.
