Lots of designers are working with print these days–but few are doing it with the wit and charm that Holly Fulton is.

The London-based designer, who worked at Lanvin for two years before starting her own label in 2009, has already made quite the splash in the UK: She was named Scottish Young Designer in 2009 and 2010, and won the Emerging Talent Accessories at British fashion awards 2010. And if you haven’t heard of her yet–well, trust us you will soon.

We caught up with Fulton yesterday at the London Show Rooms press preview (for the past few years the British Fashion Council has been bringing London’s creme de la creme across the pond so editors can check them out).

Meet Lanvin’s Other Senior Campaign Star (and Advanced Style Regular) 62-Year-Old Tziporah Salamon

Lanvin’s latest ad campaign has created a decent amount of buzz, and with good reason–Alber’s models aren’t models at all. They’re ordinary women (and men) whose ages fall somewhere between 18 and 82. We’ve already fallen in love with the woman at the latter end of the spectrum–Jacquie “Tajah” Murdock, a former Apollo dancer whose Read more →

Alber Elbaz Rings In 10 Years at Lanvin with a Song, Celebs, and a Glamorous Fall Collection

The creatures who inhabit the fashion world are often prickly and polarizing but Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz, who tonight celebrated 10 years at the label with the presentation of his fall 2012 collection and a party immediately following, is pretty much beloved by all.

Fashion News Roundup: Heidi Klum No Longer An Angel, Lanvin Launches E-Commerce, and Team Zoe Breakup Not Amicable

Heidi Klum Bids Farewell to VS: After 13 years of wearing the VS Angel wings, Heidi Klum says good bye to Victoria’s Secret. With only four official angels left, and two of them pregnant, who will walk the November 10th show? Will a new angel be named? We smell a reality show. {Fashionologie}

Lorenzo Martone, Now Party of One: Lorenzo Martone, best known as Marc Jacobs ex, has given the NYT a look at his life post-Marc. He dishes on his relationship with Marc and the connections he made while they were together. {The New York Times}

However the final straw was when Brad appeared on the cover of The New York Times style section. Rachel hit the roof and reminded him he was her assistant and it was called ‘The Rachel Zoe’ show not the Brad Goreski show. That was the moment that the two of them were over.” This is bananas. {PopEater}
