Hello from Cupertino, California! Or should I say from the future? Fresh off today’s much-anticipated Apple announcement, the roof has once again been blown off tech life as we know it with the reveal of the Apple Watch. Out in early 2015, Apple Watch is your new wearable one-stop-shop, complete with miniature versions of all […]

It’s that time of year again: the fashion crowd has descended on New York City to kick off yet another manic month of fashion shows, street style snaps and hoofing it all over town in heels. Adding fuel to the fashion week frenzy this year is Apple’s “Fashion In Conversation” series of talks with a lineup of industry insiders so impressive, conflicting shows may want to double check those RSVPs. Kicking off the series last night was none other than Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who sat down with host Kinvara Balfour to talk about her career, Lena Dunham as cover girl and favourite designers (sort of). If you couldn’t make it out to the event, you’re in luck—the video will be posted to iTunes at some point, but for the impatient, here are our favourite moments from Anna’s talk.

Rumours are swirling that Apple is launching its first piece of wearable technology: the iWatch. With most of our possessions beginning with the letter “i” it was only a matter of time before this extended to our fashion choices and if this is anything nearly as desirable as other Apple products, the fashion industry is in for a shocker when it hits stands, which is reportedly later this year.

According to Fashionista, the man behind the project is Jonathan Ive, Apple’s VP of design a.k.a the man behind the iMac, the product many of us couldn’t live without. While the hardware genius may be top of the game in his own field, you have to wonder whether the stylish Brit (Ive sat front row at Burberry’s Spring 2013 show) is fashion savvy enough to tackle the world of jewellery. Lets be real, the iWatch is more likely to be comparable to Nike’s Fuel Band (but with a complete Apple OS) than a classic Omega. Still, for the item to develop the same cult following as everything else the Apple logo graces, the pressure is on for the designer to develop the ultimate timepiece.

Since yesterday’s sad news about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs’ passing, it seems everyone has been mourning the loss in some shape and form (a tribute song blasted from your iPod? A sad phone call placed from your iPhone? A sad collage made on your iPad? The possibilities are endless). While it may not be as clear a fashion connection as the loss of Alexander McQueen, we got to thinking about the numerous ways the industry has changed because of Apple inventions. Here are five:

A new wave of masculinity has arrived: the mantyhose. Selfridges’ tights for men by lingerie brand Unconditional are available in black, beige and charcoal. Menswear director David Walker-Smith calls them “extremely versatile,” going on to say, “we expect men to be wearing them not only as a way to give legs an extra boost of warmth on the chilliest nights, but as a true style statement.” [The Cut] What do you think of the mantyhose movement? Is it the ultimate in Shakespearean-inspired fashion or far too feminine for the modern man?
