The Top Trends from the Fall 2013 Runways

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. Don’t worry–the passion and excitement were still there, but designers actively pursued defining new ways we can really dress next fall. 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.

The Top 10 Trends From the New York Fashion Week Fall Runways

Fashion week came, and brought a feisty lil’ friend named Nemo along for the ride–forcing us to consider forgoing, “Well, doesn’t she look chic!” for, “Well, doesn’t she look warm?!” The runways begged to differ, offering up endless new ways to bundle-up beautifully for fall 2013. Check out our top ten trend takeaways from the fashion week that weathered the storm in style.

Honor Fall 2013: Be Still My Heart

When I arrived at the Honor presentation (she usually does a proper runway show) at Eyebeam, the room was dark and all I could see was a big screen on which a runway show was playing and I became extremely angry, thinking I had trekked to west Chelsea just to watch a video. Fortunately, after Read more →

A Look at this Season’s Most Creative New York Fashion Week Invites

One of the things we always look forward to in the pre-fashion week madness is all the pretty show invites that land on our desks.

The invites often give you an idea of what to expect from the show, too. This season, we’ve seen neon, translucent pink rubber; holographic birds; and used Petri dishes (yes–really).

We’ve rounded up some of the more eye-catching and creative NYFW invitations to show up in our mailbox so far. Aren’t they pretty?

Honor Spring 2013

The Clothes: Ethereal, girly and, as usual, incredibly pretty. The color palette was mostly neutral but interesting details like shimmery plastic panels, macaramé trim and subtle leaf prints made every piece special. Add adorable sandals done in collaboration with Tabitha Simmons and perfect styling by Lula‘s Leith Clark and you get what we’re sure will Read more →

Made in the USA: 25 of Our Favorite Labels that Produce Domestically

Compared to, say, the 1950s, very little clothing (or anything for that matter) is manufactured in the United States. There are a few heritage brands holding on in the Northwest and the south; and brands that focus on weather-resistance and technologically advanced fabrics are often based here, where the technology originates. Additionally, many eco-friendly and Read more →

Garance Doré Doesn’t Think The Vogue Kiddie Diet Article Was Necessarily A Bad Thing: While we’re all up in arms over Dara Lynn Weiss’ “Weight Watcher” testimony in this month’s Vogue, blogger Garance Doré thinks it does serve a positive purpose. She writes, “…I find it good that Vogue, through that testimony, breaks the silence of one of those ‘normal’ women that live with a food disorder all their life.” While she makes a good argument for awareness, it’s not like there isn’t a huge discourse about eating disorders, especially in the fashion world. We’re more concerned about the psychological effects Weiss’ actions had on her perfectly healthy seven-year-old. {The Cut}

Lady Gaga Tweets A Photo of Herself Without Makeup: … so we guess she doesn’t go to bed entirely in costume like we imagined? {Lady Gaga Twitter}

Joan Smalls Covers Vogue Australia: Joan Smalls is on the cover of like, everything right now, and that includes the May issue of Vogue Australia. Continue to collect those coins, Ms. Smalls! {Fashin}

Dolce & Gabbana Sues Dolce & Banana: No, this is real. The famed Italian design house has filed a lawsuit against Cape Town gift shop Dolce & Banana for trademark infringement, claiming the store “makes a mockery of the well-known trademark, Dolce & Gabbana.” Sounds like Domencio and Stefano are not fans of clever puns. {Racked}
