Though some of the guests did step up the ‘tude a notch–some with spikes, others with hair dye–the majority kept it pretty, well, pretty. Let’s take a look at who was brave enough to go punk, and who Read more →

Four cities, one season: Fall 2013. Nemo kicked the collections off and every city to follow added its own dose of wintry chill. Somehow all that cold weather caused a discernible note of restraint to float through the collections.

These looks felt grounded in the return of the “Lady,” as fashion’s pendulum swung away from the risqué, toward the refreshingly refined (spike-studded shoulders be damned). Check out our top trends for fall in the slide show.

Pre-Fall 2013 has wrapped!…or has it?…Nobody can quite say for sure, but with the Fall 2013 shows quickly approaching in mid-February, we figured now was as good a time as any to take inventory of our favorites from “the season between seasons.”
When we dropped by his press appointments to see the collection up-close-and-personal last week, Deacon pointed to pioneer British kink-mag Atom Age as a key source of inspiration for the season.
Halloween is essentially cancelled for us New Yorkers. Thanks Sandy! So we’ve decided to have a fantasy Halloween in which we dress up using Srping 2013 runway looks…in our minds. Can you tell we’re getting stir crazy?
London fashion week is officially done, and our heads are still spinning. We covered a whirlwind of shows, hit some parties, paid a zillion pounds in cab fare, and ate a whole lot of sandwiches from Pret a Manger. In addition to all the memorable collections, we also saw a lot of wackiness–and tons of fashion “personalities.” From an actual Kate Moss sighting to models in boxes, check out the things that mystified and delighted us in London.
