Surely the past two years have been a lesson to even the hottest of designers: women spend on accessories and outerwear. While we have a soft spot for handbags and a bold statement 5-inch heel we can barely teeter in, the latter category of ready-to-wear is a particularly smart investment. Taken care of, coats can [...]

Designer Riccardo Tisci isn’t just hitting his stride designing for Givenchy (though the following video of his Fall 2011 collection is also testament to this growing prowess),  it seems timing is playing a part too. Rumors are swirling on Tisci’s possible appointment at Dior. In any case, if you weren’t in Paris to check out [...]

Paris fashion week est arrivée! Be ready for a week plus of style drama and of course French chic. Here’s some #PFW peeks from around the Web.

We’re on the backside of the mountain that can be NYFW. Nerves are frazzled and the feeling of a full night’s shut eye is all but a distant memory.  At least there’s fabulous clothes and parties as salve. Take a look at Day 6.

It’s already day 2 of Copenhagen Fashion Week and things have gotten off to a strong start. While the event isn’t necessarily known for making trends, we have increasingly leaned towards Scandinavian brands for that blend of wearability and price-versus-quality buy. For Fall 2011, there was plenty of black pieces as always, but it seems [...]

H&M has been teaming with buzzy collaborators as of late (ahem Alber Elbaz of Lanvin) and it looks like the in-house design team has been spurred into stylish action too.

But rather than be intimidated by such lofty houses such as Lanvin men’s or Dior haute couture, the baby-faced Russian model brought out the big guns. It may not have reached the [...]

It’s not quite Spring yet (though with the winter slush we wish it were), but Tom Ford’s SS11 collection is for all to see on perhaps the biggest market of all, YouTube. If you’ve already heard all about the super-intimate runway  he held this past September, now there’s a perfectly edited video companion to re-highlight [...]

The buzzy word around Paris Paris is of course your usual big names like Dior and Chanel, but pay close attention to Hakaan Yildirim who has the editors, models and pretty young things clamoring for more. After a stellar show last season in London, the Turkish-born designer has moved onto primetime – namely Paris Fashion [...]
