Happy Valentine’s Day! In honor of this oft-dreaded, always-candy-filled day, we’ve rounded up the coolest—and most powerful—couples working in fashion. Click through to read all about them, and let us know: who’s your favorite fashion couple?
Most people remember the leather leggings from Rodarte’s last show. Not me. I remember covertly pressing the show notes into my right knee, desperately trying to stop the bleeding. Let me explain:
Kristen Stewart said something nice! About fashion! We wish she would stop wearing sneaks on the red carpet, but we’ll take what we can get. {HuffPo}
Hilary Duff is really benefiting from those prenatal vitamins, as she was able to give up something beloved by all Hollywood starlets: Her hair extensions. {US Weekly}
Scott Schuman, the man behind the Sartoralist, sounds like he might possibly be the hardest person ever to shop for. {Refinery29}
As a follow up to last year’s fashion book gift guide, we rounded up the best fashion books from 2012, jotted down a little description and pointed you in the right direction of where to buy.
Whether he’s talking about how much money his blog makes, criticizing Tavi’s success, or wondering (aloud) why anyone would work in print, Scott Schuman is not exactly known for his discretion or tact. Recently, Schuman turned this famous, erm, candor, on one of the fashion industry’s most beloved characters: Bill Cunningham.
Now You Too Can Dress Like an Editor: Is your style more of a downtown-cool Miroslava Duma, or Carine Roiteld sex bomb? We’ll show you how to dress like your favorite editors looking effortlessly amazing at fashion week–and where to get the goods.
Baiting Street Style Photographers: Behold, our completely unscientific–though thoroughly LOL-worthy–fashion week experiment: Street style bait. It involves the wearing of brain wave-controlled cat ears at Lincoln Center. You’ve been warned!
Best in Show, London Fashion Week: London Fashion Week, we hardly knew ye. See which Brit shows had the critics going nutso, and the 10 collections that made our short but oh-so-sweet ‘week’ across the pond even sweeter.
Street style’s a hot topic lately. So we thought after that Times profile blowing the lid off the subject and revealing how contrived and and monetizing the whole medium has become, we’d chat with pioneering street style photographer Scott Schuman (again) and get his perspective on something that he, in a way, helped create.
As someone who both wears outfits that street style photographers’ dreams are made of, and also possesses a brain, Medine offers an interesting perspective.
Young, fun and somewhat off-kilter, Marc by Marc’s clothes were styled this season with so many layers that it almost recalled an NYC baglady–or a sleep-deprived, scruffy college kid.
It’s Day 4 of NYFW and we’re still kicking, though we have a few blisters now. It may have been our best day ever because we saw Naomi Campbell and David Beckham in the same 24 hour span. Are there two more gorgeous people on Earth? Aside from those pretty people (and some surprises, like Madonna’s baby Lourdes Leon), we also spotted covetable clothes at DKNY, Orla Kiely, and Antonio Azzuolo, and morning margaritas at Lyn Devon.
Last night, we took a break from a packed day of fashion presentations and parties on the it’s-totally-not-fashion-week-yet-but-actually-it-absolutely-is day before fashion week, to stop by the Danziger Gallery in Chelsea where The Sartorialist’s Scott Schuman’s photographs are on display for the first time ever in an exhibition setting. The images on display are included in Schuman’s newest book, The Sartorialist: Closer.
Unsurprisingly, the event brought a mix of the blogosphere’s brightest stars–Bryanboy, Rumi Neely and of course Schuman‘s girlfriend Garance Dore were all in attendance, as were many of Schuman’s exceptionally well-dressed subjects. We managed to steal a few minutes with the photographer to talk about what makes a great photo, how he chooses his subjects and why he never smiles in photographs.
Older European women are very difficult. Older women, in general, say no all the time. They’re just very vain. And girls who are pretty, who’ve always been pretty. Not models—like the prom queen. They’re like, “Oh my god my beauty is such a curse! Nooo!” They’re not really into fashion, because they’ve always been pretty. Read more →
