Fashion Week Mad Libs with J.Crew's Tom Mora!
All J.Crew's Head of Women's Design Tom Mora really wants to do after his surf-inspired, print-filled Spring 2014 presentation wraps up is stalk legendary street style photog Bill Cunningham. Can you blame him?
J. Crew Fall 2013: Moroccan-Inspired Eye Candy
Going to the J.Crew presentation yesterday was like being a kid in a candy shop. (Really, though, I prefer salty things but no one ever says "like a kid at a store full of chips", so, moving on.) The retailer's fall 2013 collection was so rich in saturated jewel tones, so boldly printed, so unabashedly covered in shimmering embellishments, it was truly eye candy.
Hedi Slimane for Saint Laurent Scores Another Vogue Cover, Gossip Girl is Revealed, and a Transgendered Model Serves Up Her Best First Lady
OMG!! The Gossip Girl finale was last night. So who was GG? That's one secret I'll never tell (but US Weekly will!). {US Weekly} Transgender model Connie Fleming stars as Michelle Obama on the most recent cover of Candy, the magazine that covers "transversal style." {HuffPo} Winter blues may be all around, but this sneak preview of Chanel's spring make up line is giving us serious cheer. {Refinery29} Nails, INC's leather effect nail polish, spotted on Alexa Chung, sold out at Sephora in "just minutes." {SheFinds}
Karl, Lacroix, and More Sketch Their Dream Wedding Dresses for Kate Middleton
Even if Bruce Oldfield seems to have pinned down the honor, designers still had fun imagining what they would create for princess-to-be Kate Middleton, if indeed she chose them to fashion her royal wedding dress. Women's Wear Daily asked 29 designers to sketch their fantasy. Karl Lagerfeld gave her boots. Chris Benz gave her color: yellow, to be exact. And Christian Lacroix--yes, the man, not the brand--gave her a collage of the old (a Victorian skirt), new (a patchwork gown), borrowed (Queen Elizabeth's veil), and red (an "Elizabethan top, as red was the wedding color until 1900!”). Other impressive participants included Tory Burch, Lyn Devon, Prabal Gurung, and Jason Wu (shown here). Which look did we like the best? Well, we have to hand it to our friend Chris Benz. While we know Kate won't go with his sunny yellow--as fun as that would be--we do think the slinky, nipped in silhouette he chose is perfect for the soon-to-be royal.
