How I’m Making It: Style Like U

I’m embarrassed to admit the insane number of hours I’ve spent on Style Like U. If you’ve never heard of the site, it’s an inspiring hodgepodge of fashion editorials, content, images and documentary-style videos that feature the closets of interesting people with interesting style.

Shooting a stylish person’s closet isn’t a new concept, but Style Like U is definitely in a league of its own. Unlike most fashion publications that solely cover the closets of celebrities and socialites, Style Like U features everyone from New York City students to RZA of the Wu Tang Clan to fashion industry bigwigs like artist Terence Koh and super stylist Lori Goldstein. And the videos go beyond the subjects’ clothes. Founders Elisa Goodkind and Lily Mandelbaum uncover interviewees’ thoughts and philosophies about style and life.

Big changes are on the horizon for the site–their book Style Like U will be available next April–so I caught of with the mom-and-daughter team at their East Village
apartment, the Style Like U headquarters, for this installment of “How I’m Making It.”

Fashion News Roundup

Fashion News Roundup: Fashion Tarot Cards, Magnetic Lingerie and Temperley for Barbour

Celebs Heart Erdem: British designer Erdem is quickly become a go-to for celebs for red carpets and press appearances. At least the ones with good taste, like Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, SJP, Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams. We approve. {Telegraph UK}

MaxMara’s Rubik’s Contest: Want to win a super cozy MaxMara coat and potentially a free trip to Milan while you’re at it? All you have to do is download this iApp game. It’s called Decode the Cube and from what we understand, it’s like a rubik’s cube with pictures of models in coats. Sounds fun! And you only have until November 21 to win, so get downloading! {MaxMara’s Facebook}

Fashion Tarot Cards: “Contemporary Magic: A Tarot Deck Art Project” is a new exhibit arriving at New York City’s private National Arts Club. We’ve already asked a psychic to tell us what’s in store for our favorite fashion designers. Now, fashion designers including Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld, as well as Terence Koh, Terry Richardson and others have each been chosen to reinterpret a tarot card. Apparently, Jacobs’ Knight of Pentacles card features a model flashing her bare crotch. {StyleList}

Shoes You can Print? Dutch shoe designer Marloes ten Bhömer is reinventing the shoe making process by using 3-D printing technology. “To create each shoe, the printer uses a 3D model of a person’s foot to lay down successive layers of powdered material (in this case two photopolymers), which are then cured using ultraviolet rays.” We’re confused too. {Ecouterre}

These are a few of my favorite things: The New York Botanical Garden’s gift shop is full of cute items (great for Holiday gifts) and they’ve decided to ask bloggers to pick their favorite things and share them in a new series for Plant Talk (NYBG’s blog). Check out what our very own Lauren Sherman thinks you should get for your garden-loving friends. {Plant Talk}

Fashion-Themed Halloween Costumes For the Daring

Halloween is the perfect holiday for the fashion set. Encouraging outrageous ensembles and over-the-top dressing, it’s just the excuse to break out your rhinestone Louboutins.

That said, picking the right costume and executing it flawlessly are of the utmost importance. Most fashion followers are savvy enough to know prepackaged looks that come in plastic bags are never a wise decision. But dressing as fashion’s top stars is also risky, since no one will get the reference unless you go all the way.

We’ve compiled some outrageous and amazing costume ideas for the fashion-set. But be warned: These need a lot of prep-work.

Terence Koh Defaced Lady Gaga’s Birkin

These pictures, “courtesy of Terence Koh,” show the artist going to town on Lady Gaga’s white Birkin last week. Whether the initial scribbles came from Gaga or Koh we’re not sure, but he managed to cover the rest of the bag with Japanese characters. It should be noted, however, that his own remained pristine. Another [...]
