Brood Spring 2011: Serkan Sarier Impresses the Heavy Hitters

Stepping into Brood’s Spring 2011 presentation was like stepping into an elite club where only the fashion industries heavy-hitters were welcome. Sally Singer, Vera Wang, Zac Posen, and Mario Grauso were all in attendance.

Honestly, nothing less should have been expected. After all, Brood is is the brainchild of Serkan Sarier, a graduate from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp–one of the most prestigious fashion schools in the world. Some notable grads of the Royal Academy include Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, and Martin Margiela, so you can imagine what editors expect from an Antwerp scholar.

Let’s Say Farewell To The Fedora. For Now.

The fedora and its smaller-brimmed siblings, the pork pie and trilby, really must die. This trend has reached its saturation point.

Much like the Ray-Ban Wayfarer, one can argue that the fedora is a classic item that will never really disappear. This may be true…to an extent.

The fedora first came into fashion in the 1880s as an accessory for women. Then it fell out of favor with the girls, and men co-opted it in the 1920s. The fedora had a long run of popularity, eventually fizzling out as a common menswear item in the early 1960s.

However, it has reared its jaunty head frequently in popular culture since then. The Blues Brothers. Indiana Jones. Annie Hall. Freddie Krueger? Yes, icons all. But no one really wore the hats in real life. They felt costumey.

(Although there were rumors that she wasn’t getting paid, anyway.) The disturbed actress was a no-show on this morning’s runway in Paris, according to Racked NY. It’s no surprise, given that nearly [...]

Dear Fashion Gods, Have Mercy

If you thought Lindsay Lohan might give fashion a rest post-Ungaro, you’re wrong. After hanging out with jeweler Pascal Mouawad at Jermaine Dupri’s house late last week, she told Access Hollywood that the two are actually working together, “we’re doing something with a friend who owns bebe.” We wish we knew the terms of her [...]

Ungaro on Ungaro

The whole world weighed in on Lindsay Lohan and Estrella Archs’ SS10 collection for Ungaro. Except Emanuel Ungaro himself.

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I didn’t expect everyone to be completely loving the collection. It is the same with everything I have done. I knew that people were going to target me. I am a target. I don’t know why I am, but I am, and I accept that. I just don’t [...]

Quote of the Day

“But Ms. Lohan’s arrival at a 45-year-old Paris house known for $1,500 dresses and a tradition of couture craftsmanship is entirely different, something akin to a McDonald’s fry cook taking the reins of a three-star Michelin restaurant.” –The New York Times‘ Eric Wilson in his review of Emanuel Ungaro.
