Psst… Roberto! Yes, you of the leopard spots–want to know the silver lining of showing the last day? In a Milan season where minimalism is king, when you show opposite the Caten twins’ homage to O.P.U.L.E.N.C.E., critics will consider your white leather lace trousers positively restrained thereby boosting your fashion week GPA. Here’s what they had to say.
Today is the last day of Milan fashion week, but before we say “Ciao,” check out Giorgio Armani‘s sleek space age collection, Robert Cavalli‘s foray into white, and Missoni‘s gentle colors.
The Clothes: You really know we’re looking at a season with a ‘less is more’ philosophy when Roberto Cavalli, the king of opulence and animal prints, pares it down.

While most of us thought that whole fashion week scheduling debacle had been settled, apparently the war is still raging in Milan. At least as far as Roberto Cavalli is concerned.
Target is about to get an injection of la dolce vita (and some seriously loud animal prints) thanks to a new collaboration with Italian designer Roberto Cavalli.

There’s no doubt that Giorgio Armani has made it in the fashion world. He’s enjoyed a super-successful career for the past thirty years, has a personal fortune valued at $7.2 billion, counts A-listers like George Clooney and the Beckhams as friends, and at 78-years-old, still manages to churn out four critically-acclaimed collections a year. So Read more →
People love pets– and designers are no exception. With all the constant crazy talk happening in the fashion world, who wouldn’t want a verbally challenged companion? It’s easy to understand what makes pets so appealing to the fash pack: No amount of cross-breeding could produce a canine or kitten with the ability to question, “What’s going on with John Galliano? Is Kim the new Gwyneth? And those wigs at Chanel… why??” They may shed fur all over your best black suit, but they’ll also still love you regardless of what Anna Wintour thinks of your F/W collection.
The late Alexander McQueen famously left his three beloved dogs the extremely generous (though probably under-appreciated) postmortem gift of £50,000. And while it’s safe to say that not all designers would go so far as to supply their pets with a year’s salary, it’s clear that their animal friends hold a dear place in their hearts.

Queen Elizabeth has long been considered a woman of many hats–and she’ll soon be adding many more to her burgeoning collection of (mainly pastel) headwear. In honor of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Harrods has tapped thirty-one of the biggest names in fashion–including Mulberry, Valentino, and Lanvin–to design revamped versions of the St. Edward’s Crown, the Read more →
It’s Mother’s Day this weekend! Did you call your mom so that you could coordinate outfits for that brunch you’re taking her to (and for which you’ll wait two hours and overpay)? OK, so dressing to match your mom is sort of creepy, but you can get away with it if you’re in the 6 Read more →
