For the first time ever Fashionista had two editors at Paris Fashion week: Myself and Lauren Sherman (back together again!). So, we don’t spend $20K on fashion week. We rented an awesome apartment on Airbnb, bought lots of groceries from Monoprix (yes, Lauren managed to find gluten-free options there), and rode the metro a lot. Read more →
Celebs Do Halloween: With Halloween washed away by Sandy, we had a good time living vicariously through our favorite stars. Some, like Ellen Degeneres and Miley Cyrus, dressed as fellow celebs, and others sparked controversy with their costumes.
R-Patz and K-Stew Face Off: There was a rumor that Robert Pattinson inked his own fragrance deal with Dior (which was later denied), but we still needed to know: Who would broodily sell their fragrance better, Kristen or Rob?
Whether he’s talking about how much money his blog makes, criticizing Tavi’s success, or wondering (aloud) why anyone would work in print, Scott Schuman is not exactly known for his discretion or tact. Recently, Schuman turned this famous, erm, candor, on one of the fashion industry’s most beloved characters: Bill Cunningham.
Hurricane Sandy paralyzed the East Coast and most of New York City over the last few days, causing massive destruction and shutting down pretty much everything. But not even Sandy could stop Bill Cunningham, the New York Times‘s intrepid octaginarian and original street style photog, from getting on his bike and seeking out stylish ladies and gents.
Here are some of our (super easy) suggestions for being a Halloween style star, on the street and in the party, with inspiration from some of our favorite fashion icons (yes, you, Choupette):
During day six of NYFW we snapped some true fashion legends taking in the shows, from Anna Wintour, to Bill Cunningham, to Andre Leon Talley, and we caught up with our favorite internet friends from All the Pretty Birds, Into the Gloss, and The Man Repeller.
Oh yeah, and we saw some pretty amazing shows too.
The Clothes: Demure, almost prairie-like separates in dust tones. Boxy tops were paired with oversized bottoms for a loose, summery silhouette, and most dresses featured a tiny cut out to reveal a slice of skin. As always, there were tons of prints; this season saw blue and white stripes, florals in orange, metallic, and pastel, Read more →
Sometimes the best things we see during fashion week happen far away from the runway.
Today we took in Day 2 of NYFW and snapped street style stars Taylor Tomasi Hill, Miroslava Duma, and Elena Perminova doing their thing–we even shot Bill Cunningham. We gawked at iconic models Iman and Carolyn Murphy, and swooned over the best beauty looks at Jason Wu, SUNO, and Rebecca Minkoff. Cuties Anna-Sophia Robb and Lauren Conrad popped up, too.
Can you tell that we’re seriously, unabashedly obsessed with the Olympics here at Fashionista? Well, we are. It’s difficult not to be–what with Ryan Lochte running swimming around all shirtless and Gabby Douglas being generally adorable, it’s a major exercise (ha!) in our willpower to focus on anything else. And we aren’t alone! In addition Read more →
A few weeks ago, WWD reported that Jessica Chastain had nabbed Vanity Fair‘s coveted September cover. Well, turns out it was only half right. Chastain is on the cover but so, too, is Kate Middleton, according to the magazine’s website.
Lanvin’s latest ad campaign has created a decent amount of buzz, and with good reason–Alber’s models aren’t models at all. They’re ordinary women (and men) whose ages fall somewhere between 18 and 82. We’ve already fallen in love with the woman at the latter end of the spectrum–Jacquie “Tajah” Murdock, a former Apollo dancer whose Read more →
Last week, 23 hats created by New York Times style photographer Bill Cunningham, all that remains from his former career as a milliner, went on sale at 1stdibs.com through a vintage fashion dealer. We figured the hats–which Cunningham designed in the ’50s under the moniker William J–would sell quickly given how rare and special they Read more →
