Over the past 50 years, the U.S. population has become increasingly diverse: According to the most recent census, 36% of the American population now identifies as non-Caucasian--that's in comparison to just 16% in 1970. The idea of what it means to be American and to look American this July 4, 2013, is vastly different than the July 4ths of half a century ago. So how has this changed the American beauty ideals, and, by default, the American modeling industry?
The Met Ball Goes (Mostly) Punk: The hair, the makeup, the gowns, and the juicy gossip—we had this year's Met Gala covered. (Including how Godmother of Punk, Vivienne Westwood, got snubbed.) The large crowd means there were lots of opportunities for photobombs on the red carpet. Finally, we voted for our best dressed and rated how "punk" the looks were. We even gathered all the best Instagrams and Vines of the night. And Then Kame Kim Kardashian: The reality TV star arrived on the Met Ball red carpet in a custom floral Givenchy dress designed by Riccardo Tisci that received, um, mixed reviews. Even Robin Williams (aka Mrs.Doubtfire) weighed in, with perhaps the best tweet of the day. Tisci came to the defense of Kim and his dress, but that wasn't enough to stop her getting unceremoniously cropped out of Vogue's Met Gala best-dressed slideshow.
Thierry Mugler has always been known as a creative revolutionary in the fashion world, and when he launched his first fragrance, Angel, 20 years ago, it was a completely shocking concept in many ways. From the weird scent to the crazy ad campaigns (and the fashion that inspired them), take a walk down memory lane with us to celebrate Angel's 20th anniversary in the US.
Last night we went to the NYC premiere of About Face: Supermodels Then and Now, which you can catch on July 30 at 9pm on HBO. Besides everything we le
Last week we told you about the new documentary About Face, directed by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and featuring models of a certain age--including
Georgia May Jagger and Jerry Hall for H&M: No Sears family portraits for this lot! Here's Jerry Hall and her equally gorgeous daughter Georgia May Jagger posing in H&M's new campaign. Wonder if they got any matted and framed? Or on a key chain. {HuffPo} Jaeger Designing Uniforms For Will and Kate's Home: The beloved British heritage brand will be designing the new uniforms for the royal couple's front of house team at Kensington Palace. Guess that means I'll have to find someone else to design mine.... {Telegraph} Rachel Zoe Won't Let Jennifer Garner Wear Maternity: The super stylist has apparently banned Jen from wearing maternity clothes to events, but with four more months to go, Garner says it's going to have to happen "sooner or later." Or she could just go the Jamie Lynn Spears route and wear really huge t-shirts. {InStyle}
We’re sure that when cavemen banged out rhythms on old animal skulls, all the most gorgeous cave girls immediately came running. While musicians have never had a hard time picking up women, it's safe to say MTV made it easier for them. The era of the model/musician relationship bloomed during the MTV era--models and musicians were frequently thrown together during video shoots, which was a job that hadn't existed for models before. MTV just turned 30, and to honor the music channel which helped to give musicians faces and personalities, here’s our roundup of the 30 best (and strangest) model/musician pairings through the years.
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?
CFDA Hearts Bloggers: Should you be attending the CFDA Awards tonight, do not fear the prospect of not being able to tweet or blog every second. There will be free WiFi in the ceremony, ensuring that the internet will be overflowing with CFDA gossip. {WWD} Nothing Between Her and Her Calvins: Images of Calvin Klein's AW10 campaign featuring Lara Stone are out. They're a little sexy, a little edgy, and no boobs in sight. {Fashion Gone Rogue} Lorenzo Swims: Lorenzo Martone, Marc Jacobs' boyfriend/hubby, is launching a swim line next summer called Nycked. Marc was not involved in this project, so we'll see if Lorenzo sinks or can swim on his own. {Racked NY}
