It looks like those retro bodysuits from Prada’s spring 2012 collection are shaping up to be a popular magazine look. It’s not even February, and they’ve already made four glossy appearances–most recently on Daria Werbowy on the cover of Vogue Paris. Read more »

The Cut brought our attention to Mr. Newton‘s latest street style subject, Eleonora Carisi, an Italian blogger, shop owner and regular on street style blogs like the Sartorialist. This is what she wore to lunch at the Seagram Building on Park Ave. yesterday. The Seagram Building is not an ironic name for a new downtown hipster spot. It’s a office building in midtown Manhattan. On PARK AVENUE. In the day time.
Carisi is gorgeous and has a great rack but, still, my initial reaction to this was, ‘Whaa? WTF?’ Read more »
Miu Miu’s fall collection was a time warp into 40s fashion where every model was topped with a few victory rolls (unrelated: how great is the term “victory roll”?). The sleek hairstyle moved from the runway (also seen at Jean Paul Gaultier’s latest spring show) to magazine pages with ease. Read more »
As if the prints, prints, and more prints trend wasn’t enough this season, Paris fashion week has shown us how it can be taken even further… putting them all together through patchwork, of course!

The summer of skinny belts is over. The big houses in Paris are showing wide statement belts with pants, dresses, skirts, and just about everything else. From Jean Paul Gaultier’s corset-like option, to Balmain’s gold buckle that rivals a WWF belt, to Céline’s buzzed-about classic trench belts, everyone has a vision for how to hold your pants on.

Metallics were shining brightly on the runways of Milan this past week, continuing a trend we saw in London and New York before that. While the word “metallic” usually means hard and shiny, the offerings on the runways were decidedly more soft and fluid.
Sequins added shine to the brighter colored garments in many of the spring 2012 shows, but Italian designers showed their deliciously butter-soft metallics in earthy tones and soft pastels. There’s nothing like a shiny combination of hard and soft. Read more »
Blue sheer plaid, anyone? Looks like Marc Jacobs, Raf Simons, and Rachel Comey all got the same memo about aqua hued plaid for spring 2012. Not that we’re complaining! The see-through plaids are a lovely way to express your inner nerd while still retaining some sex appeal. Read more »
