If Cannes has the most glamorous red carpet of the year, then the AmFar Gala, held annually during the film festival, is the ultra-ultra glam cherry on top. This year’s gala, held at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, saw A-listers like Jessica Chastain and Sharon Stone and models-of-the-moment Joan Smalls, Lily Donaldson and more, stomp the Read more →

Last night celebs and fashion’s VIPs were out in their red carpet finest at not one but two major industry events. It was the Fashion Group International’s Night of Stars in NYC, and a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund fashion show at the Chateau Marmont in LA. How did they choose which one to attend?
The Fashionista team kicked off NYFW Day 1 by taking in shows from Katie Gallagher, Creatures of the Wind, and 10 Crosby Derek Lam among others. In the process, we ran into living disco ball ADR at her H&M collab launch and the equally glittery Man Repeller. And some creative street style occasionally distracted us from the runways.

It’s CFDA Awards day! The Met Ball may be a fashion spectacle of epic proportions, but the CFDA awards is really about the people that make the fashion (and their hot model dates). All kidding aside, it’s a day for the industry to come together and celebrate itself and the creations of its members. Oh, Read more →
It could be a sign that the world is ending (December 21, folks, get ready!) but these days, there seem to be more celebrity couples getting engaged. Two weeks ago, Amber Rose let it slip on Twitter that her boyfriend, rapper Wiz Khalifa had popped the question. Just recently, Halle Berry was spotted sporting an Read more →
Snowflakes and slushy streets didn’t put a damper on festivities as Rebecca Taylor welcomed party goers to her newest boutique on Wednesday night. While the plummeting temperatures called for snow boots and parkas, Taylor fans opted to don their favorite spring looks at the designer’s Meatpacking District outpost. Selita Ebanks chose a polka dot skirt paired with a floral tank, 30 Rock‘s Katrina Bowden wore a floral jumper, and we even spotted a certain Gossip Girl in a floppy sunhat. (Tika Sumpter, to be exact.)
The space reflects Taylor’s flirty ensembles. From the ornate ceiling moldings to the cast-resin furniture complete with a touch of burnished gold, it’s easy to see that the designer played a big role bringing the store to fruition. “I’ve been 100% hands on with this project,” said Taylor as she took a break from greeting guests. “I’ve been here all day working on everything including the flower arrangements! I’m a little bit of a freak like that,” she admitted. Of course, she did have the help of APALondon, a design firm that has also worked with the likes of Stella McCartney and Adidas to create unique store layouts.
QVC’s finest hit the red carpet Friday night during the shopping network’s Fashion Week kick-off party and live-streamed runway show, co-sponsored by Vogue. And by “QVC’s finest” we mean everyone from Isaac Mizrahi to Kim Kardashian to Lori Goldstein.
The ubiquitous Kardashian sisters (just Kourtney and Kim) were on hand, to support their K-Dash for QVC line. But Kim was still stuck on her spread for Harper’s Bazaar. “Elizabeth Taylor sent over one of her gowns and I was able to belt it and wear it for the shoot,” she gushed.
Isaac Mizrahi admitted he was exhausted before he went on-air to present his latest QVC designs. His secret to putting out a zillion Mizrahi collections?
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, in all of it’s boob-ed and winged splendor, airs tonight at 10 p.m. on CBS. This year, Adriana Lima wears the coveted fantasy bra, which rings in at a whopping $2 million and took craftsmen over 1500 hours to make. Of course, $2 million is nothing compared to the $15 million ruby and diamond encrusted bra and panty set that Gisele Bündchen wore during the Victoria’s Secret show in 2000. That lingerie set holds the Guiness Book record for the most expensive underwear in the world. In fact, this year marks the cheapest fantasy bra Victoria’s Secret has shown since they started the fantasy bra in 1996. Claudia Schiffer got the honor that year of wearing the very first million dollar fantasy bra.
Since we’ve already singled out the 10 most ridiculous looks from tonight’s show, without further ado, a look back at 14 years of the Victoria’s Secret fantasy bras.
Are you a fabulous jet-setter or wanderlusting backpacker with inspirational travel stories to tell? If so, Massimiliano Giornetti, creative director of Salvatore Ferragamo, wants to hear them, and your travelogue might inspire a one-of-a-kind Ferragamo W bag.
The iconic W bag is named after the company’s matriarch, Wanda Ferragamo, and is decidedly travel-inspired. “For the Resort 2011 collection I drew heavily from the Mediterranean and the new jet set crowd that holidays on the coast,” Massimiliano Giornetti said in a release. “I’m always curious to know what inspires others and how their sources of inspiration affect their daily lives and style choices. With the technology of today, the W List was created to share stories that inspire ourselves and inspire others digitally as we travel the globe at a second’s thought.”
Never Let Me Go stars Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan looked lovely at the film’s European premiere. A platinum-haired Michele Williams wore a gorgeous Erdem number with leopard print pumps. Caroline Sieber looked chic in Mark Fast. And Selita Ebanks rocked an intense Ferragamo frock.
