We got a chance to speak with baker Dominique Ansel about being fashion’s newest accessory, how the Cronut x Opening Ceremony collaboration came to be, those Cronut knock-offs aka Faux-nuts served to Victoria Beckham, and that time Heidi Klum waited two weeks for a Cronut.

One of our Fashionista 15 designers to watch, Adeam designer Hanako Maeda, fresh from the challenge of dressing Lady Gaga, explored more of her idea

Much like Jason Wu and Michelle Obama, it’s hard to talk about Jenny Packham’s designs without mentioning the name of her most famous client, a cert

This season, Mathieu Mirano’s girl is a little bitchy. “You see,” he said, pointing out a scarlet python-textured crop bustier and pencil skirt, “like, this is pretty bitchy.”

It’s often said that the clothing you choose acts as a form of daily armor against the world. In the case of Libertine’s collection this season, it may be literal, as designer Johnson Hartig infused his designs with a happy sense of joyful protectionism.

It was a trip to Cannes, its history, and some inclement weather, that served as the inspiration for Pamella Roland’s latest collection. This season, her red carpet gowns (and formal, luxurious raincoats—hence the inclement weather), were modern takes on ‘60s classics. Classics, in the truest sense of the word, as Roland informed me backstage, that the '60s in Cannes, were origins of the first official red carpet.

You either get Mark McNairy or you don’t. If you get him, you know that he was voted one of GQ’s best new menswear designers in America. You get streetwear and music references, so you understand the awesomeness of him--including his choice of playing Backstreet Boys in the pre-show soundtrack. You get how cool it is that he got Greg Chapman, Nick Wooster, Pusha-T, and his models to drink Heineken and brandish switchblades while walking the runway. And you just have to get the inherent, tongue-in-cheek coolness of his clothes--because he does not like to talk about the ever-present, designer topic, of “inspiration.”

Think of Carlos Campos’s spring collection as a more refined take on football fanwear. This collection was a big valentine to soccer and everyone that loves it, down to the players, referees, and fans.

They may be students, but that didn’t stop the design students of the School of Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) from using their chance at Fashion W

Creating sophisticated versions of the clothes he remembered from his '90s California childhood was Bell’s focus this season, drawing from “a journey of memories of [his] youth, from surfing with [his] father.”

Worshippers will find continued reasons to keep the faith in the "high priestess of Goth opulence", as coined by Style.com. Although her new collection is a little lighter, acolytes (like Lady Gaga) will be pleased by LaPointe’s continued exploration of the sinister and dark, this time, via the inspiration of the deli. Yes--the deli.

The dirtier, the better.

In a truly blind beauty test, where the testers have no knowledge of brand, packaging, price range, or previous reviews, what products would reign supreme? With that in mind, we at Fashionista concocted the "Blind BB Cream" test.

We're seeing redheads everywhere we look lately. Want in on the trend? Here's how to go ginger--if you dare--with tips from Marie Robinson (Clairol's Color Director) and Christophe Robin (L’Oreal Paris USA Color Director), as well as Sea of Shoes' Jane Aldridge (preeminent red-headed style star).

Is there a better chronicler of fashion history and all-around-beloved fashion personality than Cameron Silver? As the new star of Bravo’s Dukes of Melrose, Silver, the man most credited with making it cool to wear old clothes and co-owner of Los Angeles vintage emporium Decades, now has the adulation of a nationwide and global audience. At a Vidal Sassoon Pro Series event last week, Silver exhibited his usual charm as we talked about vintage history, how more informed consumers have affected his business, and which modern designers he sees as having vintage appeal.

Awards season may have ended a month ago, but the red carpet looks are still inspiring us--especially when it comes to hair.

From Jennifer Lawrence's unfussy updo, to Jessica Alba's classic Hollywood waves, read on for these easy-to-follow updos--and get ready for your closeup.

Never going to use that umpteenth BB cream sample you have cluttering up your medicine cabinet? Well, you can now get rid of it, because a unique trading market has developed thanks to the ubiquity of beauty sample box programs.

"My Very First Knockwurst" or "“I’m Not Really A Waitress,” anyone?

It might be early to call designer Maggy Schultz a bonafide garmento. But seams seem to run in her genes, as the progeny of a mother who was Mickey Drexler’s right-hand-woman at GAP, and a father who co-founded Urban Outfitters. Despite her parents’ Garment District backgrounds, they initially disavowed Maggy from joining the retail industry (“maybe because it’s a tough industry”) but this independent thinker pressed on, launching her first collection of pattern-focused, sharply tailored basics earlier this year. We chatted with her about launching her own line, and that time she stood up to Mickey Drexler.

Jane Pratt, xoJane's Editor-in-Chief (and of course the founding editor of Sassy and Jane) has launched xoVain, a new site devoted exclusively to beauty. Tagline: “No beauty secrets." We got the scoop on the new site--plus Cat Marnell's imminent return to xoJane!

DJ, model, actress, music label owner, restaurateur, and style It Girl Hannah Bronfman has a new slash. And it’s not the slash of midriff she exhibited in a very cute twin set crop top at Organic by John Patrick's show two weeks ago, where she also served as the designer’s unofficial muse.

So what if Valentine’s Day is traditionally a couples' holiday? Everyone knows that the most important relationship is the one that you have with yourself. So with that in mind, we’ve put together the best, most decadent ways to celebrate you (and, ok, maybe your cat, too.) Click through for our picks.

Jenny Packham was mum (a laugh, followed by a “No comment”) on her most famous client, Kate Middleton, but she created a beautifully luxurious forma

In her first ever runway show, Erin Barr demonstrated that her signature aesthetic is a play on hard and soft, drawing inspiration from nature for t
