Trendspotting: Crop That Top!
Start doing your sit-ups now because the crop top is having its resurgence moment for spring 2012. Everyone from Acne to D&G to Prada showed crop tops on the runway, in all shapes and sizes. (Well, from small to teensy that is.) Which tiny style is your favorite?
Quote of the Day: Lynn Yaeger Dares to Diss Tom Ford
Q. What eminent designer puts what seems like 150 looks on the runway — bottom-grabbing pencil skirts; tiny purple Floradora dresses — and forbids photography (apparently to lend an air of exclusivity, but in this case, maybe to protect his reputation) and emerges on the runway at the end of the show, then stands around Read more →
London Fashion Week Spring 2012 Beauty Roundup: The Best and the Brightest
London fashion week was a whirlwind of shows, and we had a great time covering them. Besides being an incubator for original fashion, London designers are also not afraid to work a LOOK on their models, making for the best beauty-ogling of all the fashion weeks. From Vivienne Westwood (at left), who is not afraid of, well, anything, to more subtle yet never boring looks, we loved the beauty in London.
This is all about the drama. You need a certain amount of self-confidence to pull many of these off, but we encourage you to try!

Trendspotting Spring 2012: Pretty in Pastel
London Fashion Week has been a host to a great deal of pastels. The collections from the past few days have included lots of light, airy colors (tons of yellows and oranges), something we saw a lot of in New York come to think of it (especially in those last few days).

Meet London Fashion Week’s It-Girls
Author of “How to Walk in High Heels”, Camilla has written for the UK Times, the Telegraph, Bazaar, and Time Style and Design in the US. She also covered the shows for Vogue UK online, reviewing all cities and hemlengths, and also assisted in the Galliano Studios. Attending fashion shows long before she was invited, London is where she started as a lowly Cinderella Fashionista. This season she is very excited to share some of her adventures with you.
Meet London’s It girls. They’re the ones designers long to dress and they’re as happy in the market or clubs as they are on the red carpet. With a different paparazzi culture (and no pesky Kardashians or Real Housewives), these are the girls who fill the gossip mags and blogs across the pond.
Image of the Day: Is This a First Look at Tom Ford Spring 2012? (And Did a Victoria’s Secret Angel Leak It?)
With all the secrecy surrounding last night’s super exclusive Tom Ford presentation in London (no one was even allowed to tweet during), we thought we might actually have to wait until official pictures were released to see the collection. Lucky for us, someone** had enough balls to actually snap a photograph of the model board Read more →
Hilary Alexander Is Hardly Retiring–She Has Two New Reality Shows in the Works
We heard from our friends over at Lucky that Hilary Alexander, the beloved and now “retired” fashion director of the Telegraph, was filming a fashion reality show called Behind the Seams. Since we’re here in London and have seen Hilary at practically every show this week, we decided to ask her about it.
Hilary was exceptionally gracious and chatted with us for a few minutes before the Christopher Kane show this morning. So is she working on a reality show? The short answer: Nope! She’s working on two. And at least one may be available in the US. Read on for the details:
