Now You Can See Tom Ford’s Entire Spring 2013 Collection
Tom Ford actually released all of the spring 2013 collection images and a video a mere three weeks after his show. Look!
Meet the New It-Shoe Designer: Sophia Webster
Sophia Webster is a relatively new shoe designer–but she had a pretty impressive career in fashion before she even graduated from the Royal College of Art; her final student collection was picked up by Browns. After school she worked with Nicholas Kirkwood for two years as his first-ever assistant. He offered to mentor her for those two years, with the promise that he would help her launch her first collection. This is the result. She’s already been picked up by Bergdorf, Net-a-Porter, Neiman, Saks, Harvey Nichols, and Colette, to name a few.
Katie Grand on Her New Hogan Collaboration, and How Her Bunny Clara Stacks Up Against Choupette
Last night, the first night of Milan fashion week, I trekked over to the Katie Grand for Hogan party at the historical (but not old by Milan standards) Casa degli Atellani.
Amidst handfuls of parmesan and gulps of cocktails (jet lag cure), I managed to steal a few minutes with the woman of the hour: Katie Grand herself. Read on to see what the influential stylist (and now designer) had to say on how the collaboration came about, what the process was like–and why she’s a bit competitive with Choupette.
Tom Ford and Gwyneth Paltrow Host Posh Obama Fundraiser with Anna Wintour in London
So it looks like Anna Wintour did indeed skip the Gucci show to host yet another Obama fundraiser, this time in London last night. And look who else turned up…
A Few Looks from Tom Ford’s Spring 2013 Collection Hit the Internets
Tom Ford once again showed his collection to editors, press, and buyers privately in London last week, invoking his usual strict no photos policy. But what’s this? Has Tom Ford changed his mind about the internet? Because he just released a few teaser images way earlier than he has in previous seasons.
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.
Marios Schwab, Topshop Unique, and Temperley London
London Fashion Week kicked off and we spent the weekend checking out the shows. We hit up Marios Schwab‘s tribal collection, Topshop‘s minimal runway, and Temperley London‘s lady-like pieces.

The designers of London fashion week sent out whimsical invitations that really appeal to the child in us: There were pop-up books from Burberry and Meadham Kirchhoff, a paint set (complete with a sketchbook) from Mulberry, and a credit card from Mark Fast (for the adult shopaholic in us).
