Mark Fast

Right here, right now.

Fashion Month gave us a lot to think about in the beauty department -- and test out.

These coats are so bright, we can see them all the way from across the pond.

London went beyond the call of duty with Heathers references to so-bad-it's-good rebel chic.

In a season where knit dresses have already proven to be such a mainstay, all eyes were on Mark Fast--the man who started it all. And as expected, he fully bucked the trend of preppy collared pastel knits, instead presenting a goth-raver collection inspired by the 1995 party scene.

International Talent Support (ITS), held annually in Italy, may just be the biggest international fashion competition for young designers you've never heard of. Well, let us get you acquainted. The highly competitive two-day event, which happened this past weekend in the small Italian seaport of Trieste, offers winners scholarships, and more importantly, exposure to fashion's upper echelons. Mark Fast and Peter Pilotto, for instance, are among the competition's recent notable winners. Many of the past finalists have since landed lofty positions at luxury brands like Givenchy, Margiela, Celine, and more. Read on to meet this year's most promising winners.

Playing the name game in London is far from easy: So many cool young designers, so many unusual names, and only a week to make sense of them all. It’s largely due to the aversion many Brit design talents have to being crafted into the sort of the fashion celebs we adore stateside. No worries; the clothes spoke volumes for themselves, as London dialed down the quirked, and turned out one of the most sophisticated seasons in recent years. See for yourself!

Naughty harnesses are sure to keep the fashion folks in line.

London Fashion Week may be short, but that doesn't mean it's any less packed with amazing shows. This time around, we checked out Acne's country-cool girls, Peter Pilotto's graphic prints, and Mark Fast's retro hip hop runway--and now it's your turn!

The Clothes: Super tight mini dresses, often with Mark Fast's signature open weave and lots of fringe. Colors ranged from black and berry to the icies

Couldn't make it to London fashion week? NBD. It's already in full swing and we've got you covered so you can watch (most of) it from the comfort of your couch. So what are you waiting for? Grab some ice cream, put on your best pair of Louboutins with your Target pajamas, and open up your lap top to sit front row to take in London's finest on live stream. Bonus point for those who wake up early enough to catch all of them!

London fashion week is officially over, but we've got one last round of shows and reviews for you! Take a look at Pringle of Scotland's sophisticate

Call it intuition, call it fashion ESP, call it whatever you want. But when we predicted the Mark Fast show would pack a London style star-studded front row, we were right. The grand line-up included model Portia Freeman, TV presenter Zara Martin, stylist Grace Woodward and finally singers Mollie King (The Saturdays), Nicola Roberts (Girls Aloud) and Marina Diamandis. And the man sitting in the midst of all these lovely British beauties? None other than Mr. Kanye West, who pretty much avoided all the high octane, spotlight shows in London this season. (Too busy prepping his collection, maybe?) If there’s one word to sum up Mark Fast’s aesthetic, it’s haute knitwear. He’s got the ability to make crocheted knits appear less grandma and more glamma (OK, sorry for that one.)
