Museum Hop: 44 Fashion Exhibitions Happening Around the World This Summer

by Morgan Von Steen and Emily Singer

Ever since Alexander McQueen’s Met Exhibit shattered records, more and more museums have been opening their hallowed halls to display clothing–not art.

Fashion News Roundup: Calvin Klein’s Boyfriend Gets Busted, John Varvatos Shuns Fashion Star‘s Shenanigans, and Bill Cunningham is Honored by Carnegie Hall

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}

10 Fashion Exhibitions You Won’t Want to Miss in 2012

by

Given the record-breaking success of this year’s Alexander McQueen retrospective at the Met, museums would be smart to put more fashion in their halls. And if today’s piece in WWD on museums “getting fashionable” is any indication, they are. Harold Koda, curator in charge of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, told the trade, “Clearly the critical as well as popular success of the McQueen show suggests that fashion design has a more secure place in the precincts of an art museum.”

While any museum would be hard-pressed to recreate the magic that was “Savage Beauty,” more fashion exhibits are popping up all over the world and several big ones are already on track to debut next year.

Some of you are just back to school and some of us are sadly done with school for good but we remember how fun it was to gather all your required back-to-school reading and dive in (okay, we were nerds). So in the spirit of the back-to-school reading list, we’ve put together a list of some awesome, essential, fashion reading. There are some really beautiful and important fashion books out recently and they are worth investing in. And that means actually going and buying the hardcover versions because these books are filled with Karl Lagerfeld illustrations, Diana Vreeland-styled editorials, and more really good stuff. Stuff not to be wasted on an e-reader.

Click through to see your required reading. Don’t skim! There will be a quiz!

Preview Lauren Conrad’s Fall 2011 Line For Kohl’s: Filled with floaty blush-toned blouses and pleated skirts, the fall Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s line screams LC without the Paper Crown pricetag. {Examiner}

Video: Behind-The-Scenes of NYMag’s Andrej Pejic Cover: Go behind the photographer’s lens of NYMag’s fall fashion issue and watch Pejic and other cover stars Issebella Rossellinni and Elettra Wiedemann, China Machado and Shala Monroque do their thang. {The Cut}

First Look at Mark Fast For Aldo: Going off the sketch of a fringed wedge sandal, it looks like the collection might not be out until next resort (though there’s no official word). We’ll wait, since it sounds awesome: Fast described it as “sexy, strong, fierce African fabulousness.” {Catwalk Queen}
