After a weekend of pounding nor’easter rain, the sun and blue sky are back on-duty. The brighter weather has us thinking of lightening up via pieces like this Opening Ceremony ruffle-front blouse. The gauzy shirting has a carefree hippie spirit but doesn’t go too far down the boho path with a clean covered placket and [...]

We’ve had a week long of spring-like sunshine in NYC. So if a little Friday rain has gotten you down, then take some end of the week relief in this color-saturated Vogue Hommes Japan Issue 4 shoot by lensman Mariano Vivanco. Styled by the enigmatic Nicola Formichetti, who also worked with Hedi Slimane for the mag’s [...]

Not committed to the clog revival? Well, even if you are on the clog-hopping bandwagon, chances are some offices won’t be too keen with pairing the wood-soled pairs with business casual duds. Meet Alexander Wang’s Trish Loafer Mules. It has a clog feel but with a bit of mannish detail courtesy of traditional loafer tassels. [...]

If hopping the pond has guys thinking more hot weather climes like Spain or Italy, then soon the boys can skip out on rainy London without forgoing some stylish English threads. Any Old Iron, a new Lower East Side boutique stocking Brit favorites such as Fred Perry, Unconditional and Sir Tom Baker, is scheduled to [...]

As with every launch, some just get a first crack at the goods. But we’ll excuse the mad-dash scramble for the Liberty of London for Target floral numbers this morning at the VIP preview. The sun is out, the mood is fine and you have Naomi Watts for a shopping host.  We’d say that’s quite [...]

Rick Owens designs for a not-easily-meddled-with, noir kind of woman and this season he pushed the idea further with a direct take on the urban she-warrior. Models sported eye make-up that lilted upwards, not unlike Chinese opera characters, with the hair purposefully blown away from their face.  There were more variations of jackets that Owens has [...]

Louis Vuitton has a certain eye for supporting young talent such as Maggie Gyllenhaal. The actress once said, “They were giving me free clothes before anybody even really knew who I was.” So with another Oscar season well under way, the luxury brand threw an appropriately posh dinner and party at its Rodeo Drive store [...]

It only makes sense that ultra-cool stylish Melanie Ward’s new line with Karl Lagerfeld alum Graham Tabor is launching at ultra-cool Colette in Paris. The well-edited (naturally) collection of corsets are a refreshing reinvention of the usual lace-up torture device. With Ward’s experience at Helmut Lang and Tabor at the helm, the tops come off [...]

The Last Magazine may have hit upon a sore spot for those media bastions but the direction of the publication isn’t concerned with standing still. Take this recent collaboration featuring Y-3 and talented choreographer Benjamin Millepied titled “The Third Wave.” The music is an upbeat starter for the week and the fashion in movement concept [...]
