Emma Watson really is all grown up, as evidenced in her June 2013 W cover shoot, lensed by Michael Thompson. {W}

We’re not sure who got luckier–Prince Harry or Karolina Kurkova. The two shared a chaste smooch at a polo match on the last day of the prince’s US tour. {US Weekly}

Here’s the 16-piece Kate Bosworth-inspired collection by Topshop, which the actress herself wore at Coachella in April. {Vogue UK}

Rita Ora–who is kind of Madonna’s doppelganger–is the new face of Madonna’s clothing line, Material Girl. {The Sun}

Theyskens’ Theory Spring 2013
Reviews

Theyskens’ Theory Spring 2013

The Clothes: Olivier Theyskens took a decidedly more sophisticated turn this season. Gone were the baggy jeans, and denim hot pants and in their stead were expertly tailored pantsuits and form-fitting shift dresses. Of course, because this is Theyskens, this wasn’t your average workwear attire–the suits, which were either roomy or super-fitted, had a carefree Read more →

Kate Bosworth Is Starting Her Own Clothing Line

At the Cushnie et Ochs show I spotted one of my personal hair and style crushes: Kate Bosworth. Naturally, I couldn’t wait to pick her brain on everything from what shows she’ll be attending this NYFW, to if she’ll ever design a line of clothing (hint: yes!). Read on to see what K.Bos had to say.

RIP Olivier Theyskens’s Long Hair: We Commemorate the Designer’s Signature ‘Do After He Debuts New Short Haircut

Olivier Theyskens‘s is almost as well-known for his shiny long black sheet of hair as he is for his edgy, critically acclaimed design aesthetic. Well, that is, until now. Into the Gloss debuted the designer’s new look today–and gone are the luscious long locks. Theyskens‘s new ‘do is a Kurt Cobain-esque chin-length mop, which the Read more →

Fashion News Roundup: Paul McCartney’s New Bride Wears Stella, Tyra Banks Is a NYT Bestselling Author and Olivier Theyskens Did an Interview at McDonalds

Stella McCartney Dresses Her New Stepmom: Paul McCartney got married to New Yorker Nancy Shevell over the weekend. Stella McCartney designed both Shevell’s dress and her dad’s suit. {People}

Modelland Is Flying Off the Shelves: Tyra Banks debut novel Modelland (yes, the one with a lead character named Tookie de la Crème) has made the New York Times bestseller list. Smize all the way to the bank, Tyra. {The Cut}

Olivier Theyskens Chows Down at MacDo: Natalie Joos did a Tales of Endearment post with Olivier Theyskens and before they thrifted at Clignancourt they dug into some Royales at McDonald’s. Theyskens ate two. With fries. With mayo. They also stopped at a vintage store that had pieces he designed when he was at Rochas. Theyskens couldn’t believe he was already vintage. We’re with you! Especially on the bugers and fries with mayo. {Terms of Endearment}

Stolen Dance Moves: Beyonce is accused of ripping off choreography once again for her latest video for ‘Countdown.’ It’s a pretty convincing case, which is a shame because that video brings me endless happiness. {Gawker}

Fashion News Roundup: Super Bowl Style Tips, Farrah Fawcett’s Swimsuit is Heading to the Smithsonian, and Kate Moss is Getting Hitched?

Wedding Bells for Kate Moss: Rocker Jaime Hince, Moss’s boyfriend of three years, reportedly proposed with a vintage 1920s rock from jeweler S.J. Phillips. Moss has been spotted flaunting the ring around town. (Although she’s been “reportedly” engaged like a gazillion times, so who knows.) {Grazia}

SoHo Gets a Fab New Neighbor: A new Helmut Lang boutique opens on February 8th on the corner of Spring and Mercer, and as if we weren’t excited enough, the store will also carry the new Theysken’s Theory collection. {Elle}

Rumor Control–Keira Knightley for Tom Ford: Despite reports that the actress had been chosen as the face of Tom Ford’s first womenswear collection, a spokesperson for the designer confirmed that the rumors are false. What a tease! {Fashion, etc}

Theyskens’ Theory is Available to Buy Online and in New York Starting Today; Will Be Released Globally Next Week

I’ve got to admit, I was a bit bearish on the idea that Olivier Theyskens would be designing for Theory. But I’m happy to report that I was off the mark–the clothes look amazing (poga pants, anyone?) and are priced reasonably, with trousers hovering around $400 and blouses starting at about $250. (No, that isn’t cheap, but when you consider the caliber of the design and the product, it makes sense.)

While the collection won’t be available globally until next week, you can buy them on Theory’s US website and in the brand’s Meatpacking Distrtict flagship (right across from Pastis) starting today.

My top picks are the blazers, the poga pants, and the pointy velvet flats. That’s right, I said it. Velvet can look good. At least under Olivier’s supervision.
