Why Some Street Style Superstars Are Shying Away from the Spotlight

If you feel like you didn’t see much of street style starlet Taylor Tomasi Hill this past fashion month, that’s because you didn’t.

Tomasi Hill is deliberately avoiding photographers, repeating outfits and slipping in and out of shows ala Anna Wintour, according to our sources. The reason? She reportedly wants her position as Moda Operandi’s artistic director to be taken more seriously.

To be fair, this doesn’t mean she’s gone altogether. Tomasi Hill did a photo diary for Harperbazaar.com over fashion week, and was featured on Style.com.

But her dialed-back presence should not go unnoticed, as she’s not the only one in that first crop of street style stars to selectively avoid the spotlight.

Tim Blanks on the Street Style Phenomenon: ‘It Makes Monsters, It Doesn’t Make Gods’

And the fashion circus debate continues.

The latest to weigh in is Garage magazine–except instead of bemoaning or celebrating the street style phenomenon one way or another, they merely explore it in this thoughtful new video featuring Tim Blanks, Tommy Ton, Phil Oh (in a bathtub!), Susie Lau and many others.

As one might expect, opinions run the gamut.

The Top 5 Street Style Trends from the Men’s Shows and How To Steal Them

The Top 5 Street Style Trends from the Men’s Shows and How To Steal Them

The traveling menswear circus kicked off last week in London for the city’s inaugural men’s fashion week, moved to Florence for prestigious menswear tradeshow Pitti Uomo, then on to Milan, and is currently wrapping up in Paris. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from covering Pitti Uomo and perusing Tommy Ton’s street style shots for GQ during the men’s shows, it’s that the boys love to preen and peacock outside the show venues just as much as the girls.

But what we like about taking in men’s street style is that there seems to be more of an emphasis on styling rather than the “it-items” we see proudly paraded around during the womenswear shows. It’s a cuff rolled just-so with crazy colored socks showing underneath. Or a double-breasted blazer tailored to perfection with gloves hanging out of the breast pocket. Or sneakers and a Supreme hat worn with a more tailored look. More often than not, we get styling tips for ourselves.

Antonio Azzuolo Spring 2013

The Clothes: We already knew no one does suiting better than Antonio Azzuolo, but at his Spring 2013 presentation we learned that the master tailor also makes the best day wear in town. From red and white printed short suits to a neon ikat bomber to slouchy pale pink trousers paired with an unbuttoned shirt, Read more →

Street Style Photographer Tommy Ton Wants to Be a Designer

Street Style Photographer Tommy Ton Wants to Be a Designer

In an interview on Stevie Dance’s new online shopping zine, Shop Ghost, the street style photog let his design aspirations out of the bag saying, “I definitely feel that another five years [from now] is probably when I would do a collection.”

While we’re sometimes skeptical of fashion admirers becoming designers (Kanye, we’re looking at you), Ton is one of the few individuals who is talented and experienced enough to actually pull it off. I mean, can you imagine better market research than to have been photographing fashion’s A-list for the past few years?

Stevie Dance Launches New Online Shopping ‘Zine Shop Ghost

Ever look up from your computer to realize you just lost several hours of your life shopping online? And you maybe didn’t even buy anything? Or worse, you did, and you immediately regret it? For most people reading this site, I would wager to say the answer is ‘yes’ to at least one of these questions. It is for me at least.

It is for stylist Stevie Dance, too. Online shopping has become an overwhelming time suck. Enter Shop Ghost, Dance’s online shopping ‘zine, which launches today.

Fashion News Roundup: Kate Winslet Says Leonardo DiCaprio is ‘Fatter Now,’ Arizona Muse Has a Better Bod Post-Baby, And Anne V Split from Adam Levine

Another Rock Star/Model Couple Is Over: Turns out he will eventually leave this bed: model Anne Vyalitsyna and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine have called it quits. “Adam and I have decided to separate in an amicable and supportive manner,” the Victoria’s Secret stunner says in a statement. Anne must have missed that crucial lesson of model/rockstar relationships: never make a music video with your boyfriend. It will live on as an awkward memento. (See: Stephanie Seymour in “November Rain.”) {People}

Arizona Muse Talks Motherhood and Modeling: Mom haircut be damned! Arizona Muse is still one of the hottest moms on the planet, and she talks to the Telegraph about the challenges faced by a young mother starting in the industry: travel, breastfeeding, and body bounce-back (try not to hate too hard when Muse says she prefers her post-baby bod!). Though she faced some serious challenges, it seems like Muse has found a good balance between high fashion and high chairs. {Telegraph UK}

Salma Hayek is Radiant on the Cover of Lucky: The gorgeous Latina star opens up to the mag about being fat, broken out, and unable to pay the rent after leaving her native Mexico to make it in Hollywood – hard to believe when you look at her in the accompanying spread! She also says husband François-Henri Pinault loves Hayek at her most natural: botox-free face, curves, wild-hair and all. To that we say, “Amen!”{Lucky}

Club Monaco To Launch Ecommerce on March 26!

Club Monaco To Launch Ecommerce on March 26!

Finally, right? We learned back in August that Club Monaco would add ecommerce and now we finally have a launch date: Monday, March 26. And if you can’t wait that long, just become a fan of the brand on Facebook and you’ll be able to start shopping three days earlier on March 23.

They’re a little late to the ecommerce game, but we’re betting the wait has more to do with careful planning (like testing the waters by selling a few pieces through Shopbop) than reluctance or a lack of internet savvy. In fact, their online presence has always been really strong.
