Cinna Lenny Kravitz Designed a Collection For Toms Because Daughter Zoe Told Him To
File this one under collaborations we did not see coming. Has Lenny Kravtiz’s role as Hunger Games stylist Cinna turned him onto fashion design? The rockstar-cum-actor has, unbeknownst to us, designed a spring collection of stylish slip-ons for “one for one” footwear company Toms. According to Toms’ blog, Kravitz worked closely with founder Blaky Mycoskie Read more →

Abbey Lee Kershaw Rumored to Make Her Acting Debut in Mad Max 4…in a Cage
Singer, model, and general bad ass, Abbey Lee Kershaw is about to add yet another title to her already jampacked resume: Actress.
According to Australia’s Telegraph, Kershaw is set to make her acting debut in sci-fi action thriller Mad Max 4, alongside Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy and Zoe Kravitz.
The film is directed by George Miller, who also directed the past three movies in the series, and is set to start shooting in Namibia this month. Which means we may not be seeing too much of Abbey in the fashion world for a little while. Something we can expect to see her in, though, apparently is a cage.

Erickson Beamon Fall 2012: The Chicest Speakeasy Around
It may be a little early in the season for this, but we’re going to go ahead and declare Erickson Beamon AW/12 the best presentation milieu of fashion month—yes, month. Hands down.
Allow us set the scene. For their first ready-to-wear collection, Karen Erickson and Vicki Beamon transported us back in time to the Prohibition Era by way of a swanky German speakeasy burlesque bar complete with cabaret café-style seating, flapper dancers, and live concerto music courtesy of The Citizens Band.
Equally racy yet reserved Anita Berber-inspired models sipped white wine and mingled amongst themselves whilst sensually swaying along with the upbeat jazz tunes, wearing sumptuous floor-length slip dresses and silky cocktail frocks in a lush, dark palette of onyx and bordeaux. And it wouldn’t be an Erickson Beamon soiree without utterly amazing jewelry—

From starlets to musicians to editors, click through for who we believe to be the 20 best dressed gals of the year (and five of their best looks). Who do you think was this year’s best dressed?

The Top Ten Most Stylish Mother and Daughter Pairs; My Mom the Style Icon Weighs In
Ever come across an old photo of your mom–you know, a photo from before you even existed–and thought, “Damn, my mom looks good” and then “OMG I want that whole outfit”?
Piper Weiss did, so she started a blog called My Mom the Style Icon where she posts photos of stylish moms that date from the 1920s through the 1980s, tells the stories of the moms in the photos, and offers up hilarious commentary on their outfits. That blog is now a book, and last night Coach threw a party to celebrate its release–just in time for mother’s day. (Seriously, buy it now for your mom).
True to her mom-style obsession, Weiss, who by day is an editor at Yahoo! Shine (you should read her stuff there because it’s hilarious), wore a vintage Pierre Cardin dress that was her mom’s in the 70s that she gave what she calls a “a shoulder pad-ectomy” and had shortened. Mama Weiss, the inspiration for the book, was there too, looking stylish as ever.
There are exceptions to every rule, but it seems style is more often than not passed down from mothers to child. So we brainstormed with Weiss to come up with the ten of the most fashionable mother and daughter pairs (and one mother-son pair), and she offered her two cents on each stylish duo. What other stylish mother daughter pairs did we leave off?

Zoe Kravitz Is A Preppy Princess for Vera Wang But Don’t Call Her A Model
Zoe Kravitz is the new face of Vera Wang’s Preppy Princess fragrance, the star of Eleven Paris‘ spring campaign, and was the face of Alexander Wang’s T campaign last fall. But she’s not a model. Or at least, she doesn’t think of herself as one.
“I don’t consider myself to be a model at all,” Kravitz told Fashionista. “I actually get really uncomfortable at photo shoots.” Kravitz, who is currently shooting X-Men: First Class, says she’s an actress first. “When you’re acting you can hide behind a character,” she explains. “Doing a photo shoots make me nervous.” Luckily she says Bruce Weber, who shot her Vera Wang fragrance campaign, put her at ease.
And while Kravitz is BFF with Alexander Wang, she shies away from the fashion scene. Beyond Wang she can’t recall the names of designers she likes to wear while promoting her films on the red carpet, and isn’t keen on going to fashion shows (unless it’s Wang, of course), because, she says, “it’s become to a big to-do and I’m intimidated by all the flash bulbs.”

Who, What, When, Where and Why: Inside the New W With Stefano and Lynn
Today, we had the pleasure of spending lunch at an exclusive preview of the new W magazine lead by Stefano Tonchi. Tonchi walked us through a slideshow of the September issue and even sat down with us at the end for an intimate Q & A.
Also lots of fun was sitting at Lynn Hirschberg’s table, who, in between bites of salmon and sips of iced tea, discussed the aftermath of her infamous M.I.A. article, being an Emmy nominee and how much she liked the upcoming film “Social Network.” We felt super lucky to get to listen to such smart, likable people as Stefano and Lynn, whose obvious passion for W lead us to be very optimistic about the magazine’s future. A breakdown of the session:

Karen Elson on Erin Fetherston’s Nico Inspired Show
Fact: There are few people cooler than Nico. So when the invites to Erin Fetherston read “Chelsea Girl” I jumped for joy; when Velvet Underground came on the soundtrack, a giant smile swept across my face. But something was missing from the ’60s Nico vibe I knew I was supposed to feel. Even with the Read more →
