PHOTOS: Poodle Walks The Runway For Lanvin Hearts H&M
On Thursday night, Alber Elbaz and his game-changing collection for Lanvin Hearts H&M checked into New York City’s Pierre Hotel, where fashionistas, fashion bloggers, and fashion designers feted the line’s launch with a couture show and shopping party fit for a queen.
PHOTOS: Tom Ford’s Secret Spring Collection Unveiled!
When Tom Ford debuted his eponymous women’s wear collection back in September, Ford swore no one (other than the select 100 invitees) would see the line until it was actually available for purchase. The collection goes on sale in January and the line’s website goes live next month, which is why Vogue has published a Steven Meisel-shot preview in their December issue, accompanied by a wonderful profile of Ford, which also reveals one of the juiciest and most, erm, titillating blind items we’ve seen in a while.
This Is About To Exist: The 9-Inch Platform Stiletto
We’ve seen strange shoes before, but we never thought we’d see the day when someone would actually manufacture, package and market a nine-inch platform stiletto. Ladies and gentlemen, that day is swift approaching.
PHOTOS: J.Crew’s Spring Collection Is Offbeat And Brilliant
Spring has sprung at J.Crew and, like usual, Jenna Lyons makes us want to shamelessly spend our entire savings on a new wardrobe. What initially seemed like an obvious repeat of September’s trends — neutral shades, tailored silhouettes and reinvented minimalism –- quickly transforms into an collection of relaxed ensembles in bright colors that is both refreshing and intriguing.
A Brief, Feathered Retrospective Of VS Angel Wings
Every November Victoria’s Secret puts on their annual T&A fashion show, and every year we keep close tabs on the crazy winged creations the company comes up with. They’ve been shaped like bows and snowflakes! They’ve been made out of flowers and balloons! An angel’s wings are a big deal! Izabel Goulart reportedly cried when she got fitted for hers.
PHOTOS: Adorable Kids Walk In World’s Cutest Fashion Show
We report on all types of fashion shows — from the depressing to the sublime, the creepy to the kooky. Today we add “cute” to the pile, since we’ve stumbled upon what may be the world’s most adorable fashion show. Behold: the kids’ fashion show during Zurich’s Charles Vogele Fashion Days.
PHOTOS: Moscow Holds ‘Funeral Fashion Show’
Say it with us: funeral fashion. When in mourning, not everyone can look as good as Naomi Campbell. We’re assuming that’s why the folks at the Necropolis Expo (the 18th International Exhibition of Funeral Art and Ritual Supplies, natch) held a funeral fashion show. Funeral! Fashion! We feel morbid writing about this, but these pictures needed to be shared.
PHOTOS: 6 Most Hair-Raising Looks From China Fashion Week
China Fashion Week kicked off yesterday, and we’re already loving what we’re seeing. Our obsession for the day? The EONFASHION Award styling contest. Held in Beijing, the Fashion Week event yielded some pretty fantastical results, and we’ve compiled our favorite photos for you. Which one is your favorite?
Olivier Theyskens Gets A New Job At Theory
Olivier Theyskens‘ capsule collection for Theory was so good, Andrew Rosen has decided to keep him around for a bit longer. Or at least that’s what it seemed like this morning when news broke that Theyskens has been hired as the brand’s new artistic director.
PHOTOS: Behind The Scenes At Zac Posen’s Studio
There’s a huge difference between looking at photos of a runway show and getting your eyes on the clothes in person, and we here at Styleite got that opportunity Tuesday afternoon when we visited Zac Posen’s studio.
WATCH: Alessandra Ambrosio Loves Pizza, Hangs Out In Lingerie
Like any good new media-loving brand, Dolce & Gabbana has its very own YouTube channel. And for this, we are thankful, because it means we get to watch Alessandra Ambrosio backstage at their spring/summer 2011 show in Milan.
TIME WARP: Naomi Stands Around For Versace Men’s Show
Oh, how we long for 1996. We know better than to say this, but it just feels like a much simpler, more honest era. But maybe that’s because we were 7 years old. But even at that young age, we had a kind of fearful love of supermodel Naomi Campbell. And Naomi Campbell had most of the world’s designers wrapped around her little finger. Maybe that’s why Gianni Versace asked her to stand in the middle of the runway looking like a living statue, then take exactly one turn down the ramp during his men’s fall winter 1996/97 show.
Flash Fashion: Pretty and Youthful at Collette Dinnigan
Youthful purity seemed to be the running theme of Collette Dinnigan’s spring/summer 2011 collection. Skewing just this side of tween-set territory, Dinnigan presented a lineup of girlish frocks and cute silhouettes in spring-appropriate cottons and lace. Not only did her collection recall the carefree days of girlhood summers, but her collection also provided that bit of sartorial nonchalance so often coveted for warm weather wardrobes.
Kanye West Compares Lindsay Lohan’s Ungaro Line To 9/11
Kanye West may have spent months atoning for the colossal MTV Music Video Awards gaffe also known as KanyeGate, but he’s no less opinionated for it. At the London premiere of his short film, Runaway, West fielded questions about the film, music, and his passion for fashion — which is how Lindsay Lohan’s disasterous and nipple pasty-happy collection for Ungaro came up.
WATCH: Sarah Burton’s Full Spring Show For McQueen
Is it completely wrong that we’re still completely flabbergasted by Sarah Burton’s spring collection for Alexander McQueen? It was lighter than Lee McQueen’s collections, but the clothes (and the designers) still shared the same commitment to high drama, unusual materials and futuristic shapes. As we wrote earlier in the week, Burton did good. Real good. And now, instead of scrolling through our favorite looks from the show, you can watch full video
Does Crystal Renn Herald A Runway Revolution?
So-called plus sized model Crystal Renn walked in three major shows during Paris Fashion Week, and getting tapped by Zac Posen, Jean Paul Gaultier and Karl Lagerfeld’s shows would be a huge deal for any model. Renn says it’s a breakthrough, but we’re not holding our breath just yet.
PHOTOS: Louis Vuitton’s Closing Model Was Topless!
Well, Marc Jacobs certainly knows how to make a statement. For the closing look of his Spring 2011 collection for Louis Vuitton, Jacobs walked a topless down the runway.
PHOTOS: Sarah Burton Does Divine Justice To McQueen
Sarah Burton’s first solo collection for Alexander McQueen made its somber debut in Paris on Tuesday, and so far the reviews are positive. Models walked pheasant feathers, butterfly dresses, and wheat-inspired corsets down the runway in matching shoes and braided hair meant to resemble basket weaving.
At Bless, Models Snacked On Gummy Candy Knitwear
We’ve never found the jokes about how models don’t eat all that funny, but we never thought we’d see the day when they’d eat the clothes right off their backs.
PHOTOS: Karl’s Spring Chanel Show Was Mindblowing
Karl Lagerfeld showed his Spring 2011 collection for Chanel on Tuesday afternoon and for the first time in a very long time, we’re at a loss for words. So much happened. Ines de la Fressange made her triumphant return to the storied house, a bevy of starlets and fashion icons sat front row, super male model Brad Koenig’s two-year-old son walked the five-minute long runway, and all this was set to the tune of an 80-piece orchestra.
