Democrat vs. Republican: Who Was the Sartorial Winner at Last Night’s Presidential Debate?
Last night at the first presidential debate, we got to see the candidates–and their wives–in the same room at the same time for the first time ever. While we will leave the discussion of who “won” the debate to the pundits, we think we’re more than qualified to weigh in on some of the fashion choices happening last night.

Our 10 Favorite Collections from London Fashion Week
London is the shortest fashion “week” of the month (it’s only five days long) but it manages to pack in a ton of shows in that time. And we were at most of them! London’s fashion is really unique–from heritage brands to the buzzy up-and-comers, we’ve chosen our 10 favorite collections from the London shows. Click through to see our picks (in no particular order) and tell us if you agree!
Trendspotting: Sheer Panel Skirts
Showing skin is taking a turn for the demure. London has been chock full of skirts with sheer panelling, a more cautious take on the sheer trend, though no less suggestive. There is certainly no shortage of options, either.

What We Saw at London Fashion Week
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.

The 3 Most Buzzed About Shows From Day 2 of London Fashion Week
How to stand out in a packeddd fashion week calendar? Well this being London Town (i.e the place where things like sparkly gimp masks and blazers embellished with mirrors and pompoms are par for the course), the answer Sunday when the Topshop girl discovered Minimalism proved to be to reign it in–relatively speaking. Critics deemed Preen’s rose-and-reptile splicework (rendered in soft pastels) a beautiful evolution, and felt Mary Katrantzou’s cash prints really made the garden of art and commerce grow.

House of Holland, Issa, and Preen
Cheerio! We’re hitting the London shows and we don’t want you to miss a single review! We checked out House of Holland‘s 90s inspired runway, Issa‘s tropical prints, and Preen‘s quietly gorgeous collection.
Preen Spring 2013
The Clothes: After 10 seasons showing in NYC, Preen returned to its London roots–and really did its city proud with this quietly gorgeous collection. A background palette of navy and white cut in rather minimal shapes really helped to showcase the mixed prints. Snakeskin, stripes, a large rose print and chunks of leather all played Read more →

New York Fashion Week Changes: Who’s New, Who’s Not Showing and Who’s Swapping Venues
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!?

Michelle Obama’s Re-Election Campaign Wardrobe: Meet Her New Favorite Designers
Michelle Obama established herself as a fashion-forward First Lady back in 2008, wearing Michael Kors and Jason Wu with such frequency that nobody could deny they were among her favorites. But now that her hubby is up for reelection, Michelle has introduced us to a whole new batch of faves, many of whom are CFDA honorees and edgy, young wunderkinds.
This year alone, we’ve seen Michelle step out in up-and-coming labels like Preen, Band of Outsiders, Wes Gordon and Lyn Devon–and she’s also been giving love to more established brands like Balenciaga, Peter Som and Sonia Rykiel that were previously absent (or at least very rare) from her wardrobe in past years. But don’t worry – even though MObama’s cool factor has increased like, fivefold this year alone, she’s still maintained loyalties with more classic, well-established labels like Michael Kors, Talbots and J. Crew, who we believe to be responsible for the green and yellow colorblocked number she wore in late June.

Dolce & Gabbana’s just-debuted couture line is off to a pretty damn good start as several people literally fainted at their recent show. Though it’s likely the fainting was due to the heat, we’d prefer to believe it was due to the collection’s sheer beauty.{The Cut}
