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.
Playing the name game in London is far from easy: So many cool young designers, so many unusual names, and only a week to make sense of them all. It’s largely due to the aversion many Brit design talents have to being crafted into the sort of the fashion celebs we adore stateside. No worries; the clothes spoke volumes for themselves, as London dialed down the quirked, and turned out one of the most sophisticated seasons in recent years. See for yourself!
Has hell frozen over? Sunday at two of London’s most redoubtable print masters, Mary Katrantzou and Jonathan Saunders, bright digital prints were not at display. (Boobies were though, at the later.) Also of note were the grown-up womanly looks at Mulberry and Preen as well as at L’Wren Scott’s UK debut, where look seven (a cobalt wool dress with gold collar) premiered on the runway after it premiered on Nicole Kidman at the Stoker premiere.
The Golden Globes are here! As quickly as Ryan Seacrest is shuffling them down the red carpet, we’ve been collecting pictures and dress credits for all of our fave celebs.

L’Wren Scott, fashion designer and girlfriend of one Mick Jagger, is crossing the channel.
No, she’s not packing up her uber-chic Parisian apartment. The designer has announced that she will show her fall 2013 collection at London Fashion Week, WWD is reporting.
This marks the second show move for Scott in the last year.
There are very few confirmed details about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s upcoming nuptials except that they are indeed engaged and that there is a ring.
A new rumor is floating around today that L’Wren Scott may be designing Jolie’s dress.

Summer is almost officially over (we know, sad) and that means that New York fashion week is right around the bend. Like three-weeks-from-now-around-the-bend. Seriously, where does the time go!? Anyway, we had the chance to scour over the week-long event’s calendar and turns out there are some pretty notable changes ahead. From who’s new in Read more →

Do people still say “hot mess” anymore? If not, it should be resurrected for the purposes of reviewing the Project Runway season nine finale show I saw yesterday. But the collections are not really why one attends Project Runway shows, is it? Of course not…it’s for seeing Michael Kors, and all the random celebs who show up.
This year delivered Jennifer Love Hewitt, wearing an unfortunate orange bandage dress, and Andie MacDowell, looking rather radiant and sure of herself. It’s always fun to see who they dig up as a guest judge, with Jessica Simpson–clothing line doyenne and worst-dressed list inhabitant–doing the honors last year. This year they went with an actual designer, the amazonian L’Wren Scott, who makes me want to wear even higher heels. And then there was Heidi, who was completely stunning in a sparkly, backless black jumpsuit.
L’Wren Scott is all about the details: the placement of a hemline, the click of a handbag. The stylist-turned-designer doesn’t do anything haphazardly, so it was no surprise that she decided to launch her handbag line by introducing it to a group of 20 or so bloggers on Wednesday morning. (Barneys, who has the exclusive on the bags this season, hosted the breakfast.) Because as everyone from Proenza Schouler to Reed Krakoff knows, it’s really The Bag Snob–the be-all-end-all of accessories blogs–who makes or breaks your collection.
Along with the opportunity to get to know the Lula–Scott‘s introductory piece, available in three practical sizes and a variety of colors and skins–we were lucky enough to get to know Scott, who not only did a Q&A with O creative director Adam Glassman, but also answered questions from the audience. Given that her runway show is as exclusive as Tom Ford‘s–seriously, like, less than a hundred people are invited–this was a real treat. Especially since she’s such a charismatic and sincere person. The big takeaways:
