It’s here! It’s here! The Met Ball red carpet is finally underway. So the fashion is great–though not exactly punk. According to Anna Wintour, though, her florals are punk, in a way: Andrew Bolton, the currator of the exhibit told her that pink was the real color of punk. Hence the color scheme. So there.

Galliano’s not going. See who is.
To coincide with Costume Institute’s upcoming “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibit Moda Operandi has tapped 12 high fashion designers and brands to create a limited edition punk-inspired capsule collection–that’ll ring in at luxury price points no doubt.
We know. The Oscars–and its many parties–were this week’s big celebrity style event. But it wouldn’t be fair to ignore this week’s other red carpets (and front rows). From Dior’s most elegant attendees to an amazing Jennifer Lawrence Lanvin dress you probably haven’t seen yet, click through for this week’s 10 best dressed, excluding the Oscars.
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.”
Emma Stone, Elle Fanning, Cate Blanchett , Sarah Jessica Parker and more hit the red carpet for Elle‘s ‘Women in Hollywood’ event. They embraced color and we liked it. Click through to see what everyone wore.
It’s the halfway point of Milan fashion week and we are just hitting our stride. Here’s everything you need to know about the swinging sixties style at Moschino, Just Cavalli‘s colorful prints, and Emporio Armani’s understated ladies.
Clothes: Among the mod dresses and pop art patterns there was no doubt about where Moschino creative director Rossella Jardini drew inspiration this season: The Swinging Sixties were in full effect throughout the collection. A-line mini-minis, kick flares, and contrast piping along pockets and collars all helped to deliver the retro message with flair. There Read more →
We spend most of our time covering womenswear so we delight in the menswear shows because designers tend to take much bigger risks on the runway. Pink lace up bikini briefs? Intricate bondage? Quirky colorful top hats? Koosh-ball-like head coverings? It was all there on the runways of London, Milan and Paris.
So we had to know: What do “real” men think about these outrageous ensembles?
To find out, we reached out to our friends in the media who aren’t fashion-affiliated–like Daniel Edward Rose of The Observer, Jo Piazza of Current TV, who, while a lady it’s true, admits she has the mindset of a 13-year-old boy, and Elie Mystal of our brother site Above the Law. But we didn’t stop there: we hit the streets of NYC to poll all the men we could find about these crazy looks.
This week’s best dressed roundup is full of summer style inspiration. From Shirley Manson (remember Garbage?) in Louis Vuitton to Lady Mary Michelle Dockery in Erdem, to Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in their own designs, bare legs and ladylike silhouettes were de rigeur this week.

As everyone knows, the Kentucky Derby is the oldest, most prestigious gathering of preposterously big, totally unnecessary hats in North America.
And while we hear there’ll also be some nice horses running around a track, the part we’re obviously most looking forward to is scoping out what new and crazy heights Derby-attendees will go to with their chapeaux. Luckily for them, the Fall 2012 runways offered no shortage of showstopping toppers from Marc Jacobs’ unforgettable Jamiroquai-inspired hats, to Anna Sui’s goofy knit caps.

Moschino never strays far from their playful, somewhat gaudy style–and that’s precisely why we love the brand. Last season, it was all about the matador and for Fall 2012, designer Rossella Jardini further developed the theme of the bullfighter–though this season it had more of a Western slant.
Matador hats were replaced by black cowboy hats strapped tightly around the models’ chins and worn low over the eyes, reminding us of the badass bad guy in a Western film. The clothes, however, remained truer to last season’s matador: ornate blazers in black, red and gold–some with Spanish embroidery–and fitted trousers. The trousers–or leggings, really–were color-blocked in a way that recalled both Mondrian and, what we can only guess is Moschino’s favorite decade, the 80s. Speaking of the 80s: Jardini is singlehandedly trying to bring back the fannypack, styling many of her looks with quilted coin purses and wallets worn on a chain at the waist. It’s a chic take on the 80s staple but we’re still not entirely sold on the idea.
