Trendspotting: Peek-a-Boo Lace

Lace has popped up in a few different ways this season, but it’s at its best, and most interesting, when used in panel form. It’s come in extremes – the black and very fine sheer lace dress from Preen isn’t for everyone, but the girl who wears it is the guaranteed center of attention. Stella [...]

Why is Fall 09 on Repeat? Let’s Do the Math…

Hypothesis: Fall 09 is mostly a season of repeats. Proof: 1. Balmainia. 2. The entire decade of the 80′s turning up… everywhere. 3. Marni loving Prada perhaps a bit too much. 4. Jean-Charles Castelbajac sending his models onto the runway from a giant mouth a la Viktor & Rolf Spring 08. 5. Jeremy Scott giving [...]

Gareth: The Try-Out

Everyone was pretty impressed with Gareth’s video for Fall 09 – It was creepy, it was cool, even if you couldn’t really see the clothes. But Dazed Digital has something arguably better – a behind-the-scenes video of Natasa Vojnovic trying on the clothes, and trying out her freak moves for the camera. Enjoy it, but [...]

Un Petit Déjeuner, Merci à Coco

Doubtless you’ve heard about the “model fights” at Jean-Paul Gaultier over the weekend. In case you had a hard time picturing it, don’t worry: Coco got some of it on film for you, which we think is the perfect accompaniment to that bagel and probable rain. So enjoy. And remember: Don’t mess with the models.
