Anna Piaggi’s Incredible Wardrobe Faces Uncertain Future

Anna Piaggi’s Incredible Wardrobe Faces Uncertain Future

by

When Italian fashion editor and OG street style star Anna Piaggi died back in August of last year, the world lost a true style icon.

She left behind countless “doppie pagine” (double page spreads, known as “DP”s) in Vogue Italia–and a treasure trove of clothing. Her clothing collection was supposed to go on display at Milan’s Fabbrica Del Vapore culture center, but according to The Wall Street Journal, the plan fell apart, and Piaggi’s clothes are now hanging in a storage space awaiting their fate.

Antwerp Fashion Museum to Celebrate 30 Years of Stephen Jones

by

This fall will mark the 30th anniversary of Stephen Jones Millinery. In honor of the legendary hat maker, the MoMu-Fashion Museum in Antwerp will host the exhibition Stephen Jones & The Accent of Fashion.

Jones has undoubtedly had, and continues to have, a career worth celebrating. He’s a really big deal in that whole British fashion circle. He has worked with numerous design houses including Comme des Garçons, Vivienne Westwood, Azzedine Alaïa, Dior and Marc Jacobs (remember that turban Kate Moss wore to the Met Ball last year?) and has been responsible for some pretty major moments on and off runways.

In addition to displaying the largest collection of Stephen Jones piece–over 120 items including many of his collaborations–the exhibition is meant to give patrons a retrospective look inside Jones’ world, beyond the hats themselves.

Who Goes To Istanbul Fashion Week?
People Are Talking

Who Goes To Istanbul Fashion Week?

by

ISTANBUL–Istanbul Fashion Week may be new, but it’s not lacking for bold faced names in the front row.

Pat Field is a fixture, which makes sense, since Istanbul Fashion Week’s press kit says she “aims to introduce the Turkish brands and designers to the world and to turn Istanbul into an effective fashion center.” It’s a tall order, but if anyone can make Istanbul happen, it’s Pat Field. The vibrant colors and energy of Istanbul are right up her alley.

In addition to Field, fashion stars abound. Anna Piaggi is here, and she gets a deserved applause when she enters the venue. So is ELLE‘s Kate Lanphear, Lynn Yaeger, Alexandra Richards and Olivier Zahm (with daughter in tow). Alek Wek has also been spotted. And according to twitter, LOVE covergirl Alessandra Ambrosio just touched down at Ataturk Airport hours ago, where she was surprised to find paps waiting for her at immigration. We’re looking forward to seeing her walk tomorrow.
