Exclusive sneak peek: Check out the first shots of The Coveteur’s collab with Holt Renfrew and J Brand
Check out the photos from The Coveteur!»
As part of Holt Renfrew’s ongoing 175th birthday celebrations the historic Canadian retailer has teamed up with J Brand and the online style-hub The Coveteur to showcase J Brand’s fall collection. We have received an exclusive peek at the gallery created for this event before it goes on display starting Thursday September 13 at Holt Renfrew’s Bloor Street location in Toronto. The photo series will also be on The Coveteur’s website on the same day. In case you’ve been living under a not-super-stylish rock, The Coveteur, founded by designer Erin Kleinberg and stylist Stephanie Mark, is a website that has been going behind the scenes and into the closets of some of the world’s most influential style icons, captured by photographer Jake Rosenberg. Some of their recent projects include looking into Vogue Japan’s editor-at-large Anna Dello Russo’s enviable closet full of shoes and sunglasses (fashion shower not included). For this event, they have sneaked a peek into the closets and wardrobes of four fashionable stars (three of whom who are conveniently in town for TIFF).

New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 Street Style: We spot Kate Bosworth, Allison Williams and a bunch of jumping editors outside Prabal Gurung and Alexander Wang
View the New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 Street Style photos »
Today’s batch of fashion week street style photos is a doozy of a style star spotter. Shot in New York (duh), our street style photographer Stefania Yarhi captured the biggest and best outside Saturday’s various shows. Outside Prabal Gurung’s Pier 57 Spring 2013 showing, Yarhi caught none other than former FASHION cover girl, Allison Williams. Looking perfectly-Prabal Gurung in a satin origami-print and pleated white dress from the designer’s Resort 2013 collection, the Girls star looked as if to be fitting into the fashion flock quite nicely. True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld was there too, in a frilly Western-inspired silk blouse and geometric-printed shorts from Prabal Gurung’s Spring 2013 collection. The actresses, however, proved no match for the giddy set of street style star editors including Anna Dello Russo, Giovana Battaglia, Miroslava Duma, Anya Ziourova and Michelle Harper, who burst into one big jump upon being photographed. Could they get any cuter?

New York Fashion Week Spring 2013: Dispatches and celeb sightings from a fashion week newbie
Things I learned today at my first day at the shows: Saturday mornings get off to a slow start. That doesn’t mean that the front row isn’t glossy-haired and well-heeled, but it’s certainly a smaller, sleepier crowd at the tents for 9am.
Weather is a major player. Alternating between scorching, humid sun and torrential downpours, unpredictable September weather wreaked havoc on show schedules with delays holding up start times across the city.
It’s fun to ogle Hollywood celebrities in the front row (Kate Bosworth, Mamie Gummer, Jessica Chastain and Kris Humphries—does he count?—were all spotted in FROW today), but the really exciting people watching comes courtesy of the fashion editors, buyers, bloggers and photographers who are dressed to impress. The Prabal Gurung show only started once Bill Cunningham found his seat.

They Said/We Said: Has Anna Dello Russo unintentionally spurred an overhaul of the street style photography industry?
While we have always been fans of authentic street style photography, we do have to agree with some points its critics make; namely, the fact that what used to be a chance encounter between photographer and subject on the streets has devolved into a deliberate spectacle, with some industry types spending weeks meticulously planning trend-laden […]

They said/We said: Fairchild Fashion Media buys the blog platform which hosts Elin Kling’s, BryanBoy’s, Anna Dello Russo’s, Derek Blasberg’s and Rumi Neely’s blogs
Those still in doubt about the legitimacy of the blogging business may be whistling a new tune after hearing today’s news. Fairchild Fashion Media, a subdivision of Condé Nast that owns Women’s Wear Daily and Style.com (among other publications), just acquired the style-blog-driven media company Fashion Networks International.
FNI is best known for NowManifest, a curated blog platform that brings in 1.2 million unique visitors each month. The platform has a roster of A-list bloggers including Elin Kling, BryanBoy, Anna Dello Russo, Derek Blasberg and Rumi Neely (the site also hosts Industrie Magazine and Diesel).
Though there is still some resistance from traditional media purists who see bloggers as would-be journalists, the bloggers who make up the NowManifest clan are proving that blogging can mean big dollars and big exposure.
Perhaps the best example of a blogger-turned-brand is Elin Kling, who co-founded FNI along with business partner Christian Remröd. Kling has used Style by Kling, her personal style blog, as a launchpad for successful business ventures that most media personalities could only dream of.
Aside from running her blog and FNI, the lithe, blonde Swede also launched her magazine STYLEBY, collaborated with H&M on a well-received collection, designed the edgy minimalist label Nowhere and managed to squeeze in a big campaign for Net-a-Porter shot by none other than Patrick Demarchelier.
So what does this move by FFM mean for media as a whole? As Fashionista.com says, online media is obviously coming into its own more and more each day, and companies such as FFM are wising up to bloggers’ ability to drive this influx of traffic.
“FNI . . . is a great example of a new media company that fundamentally ‘gets’ the Internet,” wrote Hayley Phelan. “No doubt it’s this expertise (and ability to drive traffic) that FFM, a media company with a more traditional background, wants to harness.”
Though FFM’s acquisition of FNI definitely marks a new day in media, BryanBoy and Rumi Neely of Fashiontoast have both recently revealed that they found out about the deal less than 24 hours before it was announced. It seems odd that BryanBoy, Neely et al were not consulted about the negotiations (especially since NowManifest’s success is largely thanks to the contributing bloggers’ involvement), but both stressed that their content would remain solely their own.

Bling bling (and some more bling) H&M announces Anna Dello Russo as their latest collaborator. View the photos and video now!
View the photos »
Watch the video »Talk about waking up to good news! H&M announced Anna Dello Russo as their latest collaborator early this morning. The Italian editrix-cum-street style icon has co-designed a collection of glittering, shimmering, dripping-in-jewels accessories for the Swedish brand, which will launch on October 4, just as fashion month comes to a close. “Anna has a fantastic eye and bold taste, apart from being a veritable fashion icon. The collection is a celebration of excess, fantasy and decoration,” says Margareta van den Bosch, H&M creative advisor via press release.
The collection of jewellery, sunglasses, shoes and bags will surely take from Dello Russo’s famed flamboyance (Muppet jacket–inspired heels, anyone?) and we’re sure we won’t be able to get enough. Stay tuned for more news and in the meantime, check out the photos and video.

Quotable: Which editrix has over 4,000 pairs of shoes?
Anna Dello Russo is a lesson in opulence. The self-dubbed “czarina” sat down with the Financial Times to talk about her need for more closet space to accommodate her massive shoe collection (it puts Imelda Marcos’ stockpile to shame):

PFW Diary: The dispatch from last night’s rip-roaring Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs party in Paris
It doesn’t matter what else happened at the opening night party for the Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs exhibit at the Musée Des Art Décoratifs. It doesn’t matter that Gwyneth Paltrow was smiling, amiable, and stunning; that Kristen Stewart was hard to recognize with dark hair; that there were more Vuitton outfits on guests than on […]

PFW Style Snaps: We spot Jane Birkin, Arizona Muse, and the international style stars (Miroslava! Anya! Giovanna!) outside Hermès
While Paris Fashion Week may be coming to a close, the styles on the street show no signs of slowing. Keeping the excitement up are the ever-stunning faces of Arizona Muse, Alana Zimmer, and the like, as well as the constant freshness brought by international editors such as Giovanna Battaglia, Miroslava Duma, Anya Ziourova, and of course Anna Dello Russo. It also might help when someone named Jane Birkin comes to call.

MFW Diary: Dolce & Gabbana takes top honours in our Oscars-style recap of day five in Milan
In celebration of the Oscars, I’ve decided to give out a few awards of my own for day five of Milan Fashion Week. Drum roll, por favor.
BEST SHOW DU JOUR goes to… Dolce & Gabbana. The moving opera soundtrack (ah, I love Pavarotti!), the ornate rose-strewn chandeliers, the heavily embroidered Sicilian-inspired looks (think black and gold, beads, crystals, lace, and jewels); Dolce & Gabbana was the fashion moment of the day!
