When a source emailed me this weekend to ask if I knew what shows Pippa Middleton would be attending New York fashion week my reaction was something like this: Whaaa? In my Labor Day weekend Internet blackout, I had no idea the Duchess’s little sis was even in town. But she’s here. She was seen Read more →
Prepare yourself for the best news we’ve heard all week–possibly all year–Kelly and Dylan are back together again. We always knew she’d pick him. I mean, hey, he had a Porshe in high school. And, let’s be honest, Brandon was kind of a dweeb. Anyway, according to the New York Post, Jennie Garth and Luke Read more →
The latest issue of V Magazine is chock-full of awkward amazingness (hello Nicole Kidman’s arse and Celine Dion’s bosoms)–and it just got even better. Obviously, we’re talking about Kim Kardashian. No, she doesn’t get naked for her Nick Knight-lensed shoot (been there, done that). But she does talk about people other than Kanye West copping Read more →
We hear…that Elizabeth Olsen is lending her onscreen talents to the fashion world. The littlest Olsen has, aside from sitting front row at a fashion show here and there, really stuck to acting, proving her chops in Martha Marcy May Marlene, leaving fashion to her famous twin sisters who just picked up a CFDA award Read more →
Last night, at the behest of Teen Vogue‘s amazing and talented (seriously I could go on and on) beauty editor and special projects director Eva Chen, I moderated a panel about the future of the fashion and beauty industry. It was a pretty impressive group that Eva managed to wrangle as part of an alumni Read more →
Which recently-divorced actress/designer with a stylish daughter recently had her credit card declined in New York at a popular national high street retail chain? Apparently, the actress/designer, who frequents the store, scooped up $900 worth of clothes for her daughter. When the sales clerk handed her credit card back, instead of whipping out another one, Read more →
The controversy over Ralph Lauren’s Chinese-produced Team USA uniforms has raised a bigger question in the fashion community: Is making affordable clothing in America a feasible option for any designer? That was the hot issue for some of the designers and fashion personalities who attended the Project Runway 10th Anniversary Party held in Chelsea last night–and while most agreed that the Team USA uni production ideally should’ve happened domestically, the empathetic laments about the cost (and feasibility) of producing locally proved to be a common thread.
Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet touched on Lauren (whom she called “pretty friggin’ awesome”) being unfairly singled out for this “misshap”
Is it possible that John Galliano had a dinner date with Anna Wintour the very night his Dior successor, Raf Simons, presented his debut couture collection? The Cut noticed these Instagram snaps of someone who looks a lot like Wintour dining with someone who looks a lot like Galliano at the Ritz in Paris earlier Read more →
We got a peek at a preview for Carine Roifteld’s hotly anticipated new mag CR Fashion Book last week–a teaser featuring models in cropped wigs slinking around on mirrored floors that will run in V this Thursday. But we just heard a little bit of gossip about the first full issue, due out in September: Read more →
It’s understandable for a new creative director to want to make a few changes at his new label–wouldn’t that kinda be why he was hired in the first place? But we just heard a rumor about a major change new YSL creative director Hedi Slimane is considering–and it’s pretty drastic.
You know that old X-rated saying, “the bigger the shoes, the bigger the…” I think you know the rest. Anyway, there’s a new study out that proves you can actually tell a whole lot about a person from his or her shoes–personality-wise, that is.
Research conducted by The University of Kansas found that, when presented with photographs of complete strangers’ footwear, people could accurately determine up to 90% of the wearer’s self-described personality traits and economical demographics.
It’s not very often that an America’s Next Top Model contestant stays in the headlines after her cycle ends. But for Isis King, it seems like her time in the spotlight has just begun. King, who appeared in the eleventh season of Tyra Banks‘s model-search reality show, was the first openly transgender person to compete. And despite finishing in tenth place, she’s managed to be one of the few contestants who’s actually gone on to star in a high-profile campaign–in ads for American Apparel‘s new ‘Legalize Gay’ tee line, a collaboration with GLAAD, and the company’s first campaign to feature a transgender person.
We talked to Isis about how she got involved in the history-making campaign, where she thinks trans people stand in the fashion world today (she says there’s a ‘don’t ask don’t tell policy’), and being a role model for the transgender community.
