Vionnet Fall 2013: Jet Setters Apply Here
After years of stops and starts, new designers and relaunches, billionaire entrepreneur Goga Ashkenazi became the sole proprietor of Vionnet at the end of 2012. And while she’s not a designer by trade, she has installed herself as the house’s creative director, bringing on a team of designers to assist in making her ideas a reality.
Cathy Horyn Says Hedi Slimane’s Designs Have ‘Less Value Than a Box of Saint Laurent Labels’
Well, we can’t say we weren’t hoping Cathy Horyn would sound off on Hedi Slimane’s latest grunge-inspired offering for Saint Laurent, given their history.

The 25 Best Street Style Snaps from Paris Fashion Week
Miu Miu Fall 2013: Sporty and Nostalgic
If Prada was a nod to old Hollywood’s leading ladies then Miu Miu was for her sporty little sister.
Aurélie Bidermann Debuts Fall 2013 Collection, Says She Will Open a New York Store ‘Very Soon’
Aurélie Bidermann‘s fall collection was inspired by nature, and even more so than usual. The designer used real gingko leaves to create her intricate gold necklaces, and bakelite to mimic old ivory. “I’m being ethical,” she said of the new technique in her Paris atelier. It sure looked authentic—and very Morocco in the early 1970s. (Bianca Jagger and Talitha Getty served as muses.)
Models Cuddled With Polar Bears and Huskies at Moncler’s Bizarre Winter Wonderland Show
Yes, the photo at left is from a real runway show in Paris.
Moncler is known for pulling some crazy stunts at their runway shows. In New York, it created a scary-looking army of 370 models on risers; it showed fall 2012 in an ice skating rink; and today, Moncler sent live animals down the runway.
An Awkward Interview with the Charming Frank Ocean About Paris Fashion Week
Forget Kimye.
Paris fashion week front-row-newbie Frank Ocean was one of our favorite celebrities to spot this week. The Grammy winner hit up several shows, including Givenchy and Chanel, so when we spotted him at Valentino, we had to grab a moment with him to ask how his first Paris fashion week was going. (We also overheard him tell another reporter that he’d brought along his mom to all the shows. How adorable is that?)
What follows is a rather stumbling awkward interview, because, well, he was just so disarmingly nice and open. Not what you’d expect from a celebrity. Basically, he charmed our pants off. We were fans before but now we’re smitten.
Introducing Chanel’s Newest Nail Polish Color
Oh, Chanel. Season after season you give us the best sets, the best accessories, and yes… the best beauty. Fall 2013 was no exception. Former Chanel creative director (now freelancing) Peter Philips came up with yet another original runway look.
Oh, and he also snuck in a peek at a new Chanel polish.
Louis Vuitton Fall 2013: Into the Boudoir
For Marc Jacobs, it’s all about bedroom dressing. He started his fall 2013 journey at a glam rock pajama party and ended it in a boudoir. Jacobs’s sepia-hued New York collection began with satin pajama jobs and high-waisted bloomers. His Louis Vuitton effort, showing on Wednesday in Paris, closed with sheer playsuits, floral housecoats, and Kate Moss in an elegant, body-hugging slip. The only thing missing was a post-coital cigarette.
