John Galliano Returns: John Galliano (who’s sporting a new grunge look) got a new gig at Parsons, teaching a master class on the “challenges and complications of leading a design house.” But not everyone is happy about it.

Let the Kate Middleton Baby Bump Watch Commence! Whether it’s a $1,750 silk Erdem number or a $76 Topshop polka dot dress, we’re keeping our eyes on how the Duchess is dressing her royal baby bump. (Could she be hinting at something with the color of this frock?)

In The Aftermath of the Boston Marathon Bombings: Nike scrambles to pull old “Boston Massacre” t-shirts from stores. Now, however, that same shirt is going for $150,000 on eBay.

Mad Men Fashion Recap: Death and (Hair) Dying

by

Mad Men blasted back on TV last night with a special two hour season premiere that asked more questions than it answered. Many spoilers are coming this way, so avert your eyes if you’ve yet to see it.

In episodes one and two, we see Betty go through a startling transformation, Megan become the stereotype of a soap opera star, Sally toughen up, and Peggy ease into her role as the “Don” of Cutler Gleason & Chaough. Guest appearances by Roger’s two ex-wives, Mona and Jane, really up the fashion game for this episode.

Look Fresh-Off-The-Runway for Prom! We pick out prom-perfect dresses inspired by looks fresh off the Spring 2013 runways. And the best thing? They won’t break the bank.

I Spy With My Fashion Eye… A Rip-Off! Satirical blog Humor Chic’s “No Fakes” campaign suggests Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada may have been a little too inspired by some vintage designs.
