As November 6 quickly approaches, top tier Obama bundler Anna Wintour is restocking her Runway To Win store of designer Obama-gear with new pieces by new designers. And not just any designers. Celebrity designers. The best kind, right?
Last night, Anna Wintour was in Chicago to host the second high-profile event for Runway to Win, the Obama campaign’s official fashion-backed fundraising initiative (her dinner with SJP and the Obamas is tomorrow). She wore Chanel resort with her favorite Thakoon Runway to Win scarf and thanks to Shoot for Change, we have a video Read more →
Summer’s here! Well, kind of. Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of the hot and humid season we all fantasize about through winter, and we’re just a little bit excited. If for some reason you need some convincing, we put together an inspo gallery of some of our favorite beach editorials to get you Read more →
Actresses, models and singers are used to baring their souls for the camera–and now they’re baring all that and more on the red carpet. From Beyonce’s unforgettable sheer Met Ball gown, to Kristen Stewart’s beautiful Marchesa frock, stars have been stepping out in sheer looks that leave little to the imagination. It’s not exactly a Read more →
It’s the buzziest, most fashion-y red carpet of the year and it’s finally here! Welcome to the 2012 Met Ball red carpet! Finally, finally, Beyonce made it to the red carpet in the sheerest of Givenchy and the red carpet’s a wrap. So far we’re loving: Anna Wintour’s Prada-designed homage to Schiaparelli’s lobster dress; Prom Read more →
Twenty-one year old Chanel Iman is not a little girl anymore. In a new fashion film directed by Jenna Elizabeth for handbag label Reece Hudson, the Victoria’s Secret model plays a cheated on lover set on revenge. After drugging the cheating bastard and tying him to a bed, she gets undressed, naturally, and as the Read more →
Calvin Klein’s Baby Boyfriend Drama: Twenty-two-year-old ex-porn star Nick Gruber, who shares a suspiciously similar hairstyle and skin smoothness with his 69 y.o. designer beau, was arrested yesterday on charges of assault, resisting arrest, and cocaine possession– in that order. It seems the law has come between him and his Calvin. {NY Post}
UGG Opening New NYC Flagship: After the apocalypse, the only things left will be rats, Cher, and Uggs. The fuzzy boot retailer, which continues to expand against all the fashion faux pas odds, will open a 2,500-sq-foot store in NYC’s Meatpacking District this fall. {WWD}
John Varvatos Doesn’t Fancy Fashion Star Theatrics: The Fashion Star mentor isn’t very into the ridiculous shenanigans that explode onstage during the clothing presentations on his reality show. “If the show continues to go on,” he’d apparently like to see less of these distractions. Hold on– if? IF?? But what on Earth would we do on Tuesday nights without this glorious, fashion forward, relevant celebrity-driven concoction of a series? I can’t bear the thought. {BuzzFeed}
Perhaps you heard, there was this little music festival that happened in the desert in California this past weekend? It was super low key and people just came for the music, man. Kidding! The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Palm Springs has become one big sponsored celeb-filled pool party. It’s also become the Read more →
In honor of the relaunch of its Juste Un Clou collection, and coinciding New York City in the ’70s exhibit, Cartier decided to throw a little celebration. And by little, we mean really, really big. In fact, the only thing little about the entire evening was the endless array of passed hors d’oeuvres which, lucky for us, were never quite out of arm’s reach. There were tiny wild boar thingies, little poached quail eggs, baby banana Nutella crepes, microscopic filet mignon, shrunken lobster pastries… must stop/mouth watering. Moving on…
Juste Un Clou (which literally translates to ‘Just a Nail’) is a collection of rings and bracelets that are exactly that- the finest of fine jewelry (many loaded with diamonds, of course) molded into the shape of gracefully bent hardware that range in price from $2,175 to a whopping $34,650.
A few months ago, we had the opportunity to go behind-the-scenes at a Victoria’s Secret PINK Spring Break Essentials Miami beach shoot to see what life as a Victoria’s Secret Angel was really like on set. (We know, it’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.) Following Behati Prinsloo, Chanel Iman and Elsa Read more →
Alexander Wang is Expanding Eastward: Alex Wang is breaking the typical fashion business expansion mould (West followed by Eastern markets) with plans to open fourteen locations in Asia in the next year. The designer, who has no plans yet to open any more US stores (he currently has only one in NYC) says he has seen “the progression” of fashion in China years after his mom tried to (lovingly) pressure him into moving there. Wang’s 4,000-sq-ft Beijing flagship store will open its doors next month. {WWD}
Are Adam Levine and Anne V. Dunzo? Rumor has it that genetically-blessed couple Adam and Anne have parted ways after two years of unwedded bliss. The Maroon 5 star was looking “really heartbroken” at a Super Bowl party. Hm. {NY Post}
South Park Strips Down for Marc Jacobs: Following in the nudie footsteps of Victoria Beckham and Naomi Campbell, the cast of South Park have stripped down for some Marc Jacobs tees benefitting The Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group at NYU. Thankfully, Muscle Man Marc’s former co-stars have some strategically placed lettering preserving their modesty on the $35 tees – which are really, really funny. {WWD}
