Kate Upton talks to Ellen DeGeneres about shooting her Antarctic Sports Illustrated cover, plus her favorite body part–but it’s not what you’re thinking. {HuffPo}

This hurts more than a blister: Manolo Blahnik tells Interview Magazine that he doesn’t find “anonymous girls” like Anne Hathaway or Amanda Seyfried very memorable. Burn. {Page Six}

Burberry Fall 2013: Trench Kiss

by

It’s too bad Christopher Bailey’s fall 2013 Burberry show missed Valentine’s Day by only about four days. Dubbed ‘Trench Kiss’ by the designer, it was the most romantic, loved-up collection we’ve seen from the designer. Perhaps it was a love note to all of Bailey’s adoring fans–the front row included A-listers like Douglas Booth, Olivia Palermo, Melanie Laurent, Michelle Dockery, Rita Ora, Freida Pinto, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Kate Beckinsale.

There were hearts and leopard prints, which gave a quirky, girly twist to the brand’s signature trenches and daywear.

One Direction Fan Girls Show Style Devotion Despite the Freezing Rain

by Tyler McCall and Ashley Jahncke

One Direction stopped by the Today Show today for a two-part concert series to promote their new album, Take Me Home–and where the boys go, so do their fans. We’ve already told you what these fanatics would wear on a fantasy date with the band members, and now we wanted to see what they would wear to meet their idols IRL. Would this morning’s cold rain damper their fan girl style? Or would their One Direction infection be on full display?

Azzaro Loses Creative Director, Hedi Slimane Maybe Designing for Rolling Stones, and John Hamm’s Bulge Returns

Azzaro Loses Creative Director, Hedi Slimane Maybe Designing for Rolling Stones, and John Hamm’s Bulge Returns

by

Beyoncé hit the town this weekend wearing a very unique pair of earrings supporting her favorite presidential candidate. Hey, does anyone else get the feeling she’s voting for Obama? {HuffPo}

Mathilde Castello Branco has stepped down from her position as creative director of Azzaro, after only a year at the label. Branco’s next movement is not yet known, and while there’s no word yet on who will replace her, Azzaro released a statement saying they will “shortly be announcing her successor.” Stay tuned.{Vogue UK}

This strikes us as highly unlikely, but apparently supermodel Kate Moss is helping One Direction hottie Harry Styles decorate his new place after he rang up asking her for help. (Harry, I once interned for an interior designer – just throwing that out there.) {Sugarscape}

What is more distracting on the red carpet: the white makeup powder on Jon Hamm’s face or his, erm, visible bulge? {The Cut}

Cara Delevingne Takes Over the Spring 2013 Runways (And Our Hearts)

by

“Is it just me, or is Cara Delevingne everywhere this season?” asked the Twitterverse. So just what is it about Cara?

We counted 55 trips down the catwalk at all four international fashion weeks, including some seriously major shows like Oscar de la Renta, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and Chanel.

But what really sets Cara apart from her model compatriots is her personality.

What We Saw at London Fashion Week

by Cheryl Wischhover and Leah Chernikoff

London fashion week is officially done, and our heads are still spinning. We covered a whirlwind of shows, hit some parties, paid a zillion pounds in cab fare, and ate a whole lot of sandwiches from Pret a Manger. In addition to all the memorable collections, we also saw a lot of wackiness–and tons of fashion “personalities.” From an actual Kate Moss sighting to models in boxes, check out the things that mystified and delighted us in London.

From Meeting the Parents to Hitting a Red Carpet, a New Breed of One Direction Fan Girls Create Outfits for Every Occasion

From Meeting the Parents to Hitting a Red Carpet, a New Breed of One Direction Fan Girls Create Outfits for Every Occasion

by

Social media + one internationally loved boy band = a whole new kind of fan girl.

Let us explain.

You’ve heard of One Direction, right? The British boy band composed of up of five “lads” between the ages of 18 and 20 (which makes crushing on them totally legal, just sayin’) was formed two years ago on the British version of the X-Factor after being rejected as solo acts. They’re cute and funny, dress smart, and in just two years have churned a major worldwide hit (“What Makes You Beautiful”), cultivating a massive and rabid fan base in the process. At least two of us here in the Fashionista offices are open Directioners – that’s the name for One Direction fans for the uninitiated.

But we’ve got nothing on a new breed of “Directioners” that have cropped up on Tumblr. Like us, they’re into fashion.
