Gucci really knows how to make a first impression, and what better way to do that than nabbing the cover of a magazine? How about 81 of them?
It looks like Gucci’s overachieving has awarded them the top spot in the seasonal cover war with more covers than any other brand from the fall 2012 collections.
Click through to find out which other brands scored the most covers this season.
Prada’s campaign videos are always a sight to behold–and of course, for Fall 2012, the brand didn’t fail to deliver.
Oh, nothing. It’s just TOM FORD’S ENTIRE FALL 2012 COLLECTION! We have no idea how this came to be, but we stumbled on this video montage of still shots this morning on The Fashion Spot. It certainly looks like the fall collection we’ve heard so much about. Exotic skins? Check. A few show-stopping gowns? Check. Read more →
While there were definitely some colorful and over the top beauty looks on the fall runways, that wasn’t the norm. On most runways it was about simple hair, simple nails, simple makeup. We’re starting to wonder, why even bother having hairstylists, makeup artists, and manicurists backstage at all? If you’re anything like us, you’ve been Read more →
Baggy leather pants. It is as dubious as it sounds. New York had its fair share of these voluminous trousers, and it wasn’t long before they began showing up in London (Topshop Unique, Mulberry) and Milan (Gucci, Ermanno Scervino). Most incarnations put a great deal of volume around the hips, something we’ve seen a lot Read more →
There was a lot of pretty, wearable, clean looks on the fall 2012 runways this past month. And while that’s great for real life, we really love when makeup artists, hair stylists and designers collaborate and do something a bit more over-the-top. We may never sport painted, sculpted Ken Doll hair, but it sure is fun to look at.
We’ve rounded up some of the wackier, more creative and utterly fantastical runway beauty looks from all four fashion cities. Click through to see how color, volume and face/hair accessories helped to tell runway stories this past month and challenge notions of beauty. And don’t be surprised if you suddenly want to try eyebrow art.
Fashion month is over, and that means we’re hunting for trends. Remember New York fashion week, way back when? Brocade was everywhere. It’s a more refined answer to the very popular prints we’ve been seeing, and designers aren’t holding back their enthusiasm for the fabric (and neither are we).
While shoes got a bit tamer for Fall 2012, handbags have only gotten more wild.
Fur and faux furs bags were all the rage at Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Dries van Noten, and Michael Kors, and while the perspex bags at 3.1 Phillip Lim and the cute minauderies from Diane von Furstenberg may not be totally useful, they sure are cute.
Or course if you need a bag that will actually fit your things inside it, the giant leather carryalls at Alexander Wang might just do the trick.
It’s a wrap! Fashion Month is over, and while we’re relieved to be out of the madness, we’re still a little sad to see it go. Paris Fashion Week brought us a host of incredible, inspiring collections, but it wouldn’t have been complete without the well-dressed people who attended.
Ponytails are the new braids. From New York all the way through Paris—the ponytail reigned supreme during the fall 2012 season. Obviously the pony is a perennial favorite, but it had a particularly strong showing this season. But the style can be more challenging to reproduce than it seems. On the catwalk, it’s a high-fashion look that reads casual and low-maintenance. But on the sidewalk, it has the potential to come across quite lackluster, horribly humdrum, and soccer mom-ish.
That’s where we come in—a few of our favorite designers (in collaboration with their amazing runway hair stylists) have found easy and interesting ways to retell the age-old pony tale. Here, ten quick tips for the prettiest, fashion-forward, DIY ponies ever, straight from the fall 2012 runways.
Paris has been saturated in cobalt blue this week, and while that can be dangerous for your health (no really, cobalt poisoning is a thing), we’re happy to risk a little for the sake of fashion. The powerful hue has made stops at big shows like Céline, Stella McCartney, Balenciaga and Chanel already, making it Read more →
You already know our thoughts on Paris fashion week’s most riveting moments, and though Marc bid us bon voyage at Vuitton only yesterday at the end of our four-week, four-city fashion marathon, it’s not quite over yet. As with our ultimate crib sheets to Milan, London, and New York‘s most well-reviewed collections, we won’t rest until we bring you the bigger picture.
What collections in the City of Light did Cathy, Suzy, Susannah, Sarah, Mark, Tim, Nicole, Alex, Godfrey, and Jessica feel truly shone? Fashionista knows. We’ve parsed all the reviews (we mean that literally) from these and other friends and bloggers for the adjectives and other qualifying bon mots.
From 2D shapes at Comme to the full 360-degree view at McQueen, flash back with us now to see which designers maximized their critical response.
