Step aside Mila Kunis, because the girl on fire is taking over at Miss Dior.

The Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence has just been announced by Dior as the new face of its Miss Dior handbag, which is her first major designer endorsement.

For all you Kristen Stewart fans who are just dying to know the juicy details about her recent foray into the world of fashion and fragrance, here’s how you can get your answers!

Over the weekend it was announced that Kristen Stewart will be answering questions live on October 18 from the Balenciaga fragrance website. Granted, the usually private star will probably avoid any Robert Pattinson queries—but knowing how crafty K.Stew fans can be, we’re sure at least one of you will compose a fragrance-related question that will include a way to confirm the rumours that they’re back together.

If you’re having a case of the Mondays, today’s edition of street style photos from Paris Fashion Week will definitely be the cure. This weekend our street style photographer Stefania Yarhi has captured 50 plus photos from outside the tents, including a mix of celebrities, editors, and all-around well-dressed folks.

The rapper behind the song Christian Dior Denim Flow—that is, Kanye West—made quite the appearance outside Dior cloaked in very on-trend tuxedo jacket paired with a heavy gold chain (Kim Kardashian for once wasn’t his accessory du jour). We also spotted Carine Roitfeld, Olivia Palermo and Leigh Lezark outside Dior—which, given that it was Raf Simons first ready-to-wear collection for the brand, was one of the more buzzed about shows.

We all know that fashion week is the breeding ground for creating trends, but when a trend becomes so obvious that it stops you in your tracks, you know its going to be important come next season. Need proof? Have a look back at yesterday’s shows from the Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013, specifically Balenciaga’s […]

When it comes time to bundle up, our selection of fall’s best outerwear will keep you chic in the chill. We’ve selected seven of their favourite trends from the fall runways and found 40+ coats that will not only keep you warm, but also keep you in style. We saw Celine supersize the cuts on their coats as did Acne, Ralph Lauren created a leopard print throwback to Edie Sedgwick and Gucci made a cape that was so stylin’ that nobody would dare make a superhero joke. Coats have the ability to make an outfit feel completely different. If you toss on a quilted leather jacket you’ll feel like a Balenciaga babe and if you opt for a wet-look trench, you’ll be feeling mod. Coats are adaptable and can make your closet seem brand new even if you’ve worn everything a thousand times. And if you’re feeling like you need a little help pulling together fall looks from head to toe, check out our trends guide.

Check out today’s photos from Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013

Today’s set of street style photos from Paris is equivalent to the fashion (and Twihard) jackpot. With major shows like Carven, Balenciaga, and Balmain going down, you know a fashionable crowd is going to show up and thankfully, our street style photographer Stefania Yarhi, was there to capture it all and do a little bit of stalking.

Stalking who? Oh you know, just Kristen Stewart, the most most buzzed about actress du jour (du year?). As the face of Balenciaga’s Florabotanica fragrance, it’s only natural that she sat front row in a yellow quilted leather jacket and floral printed pants accessorized with a petite smile (we repeat: petite).

There is a whole generation that has never worn a suit. That is about to change. You know that when labels as influential and cool as Balenciaga and Carven pack their collections with suits, a major shift is in store. It happened today at Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013. Nicholas Ghesquiere’s suits for Balenciaga were […]

Check out the street style photos from London Fashion Week

In our last edition of London Fashion Week street style from the Spring 2013 show season, our resident street style photographer, Stefania Yarhi, has captured the tail end of the stylish folk before heading to Milan. It wouldn’t be a day at fashion week without spotting a Balenciaga sci-fi sweater and a vintage print like the D.A.R.E. logo (how very junior high).

We love the bold prints that have been popping up but today’s photos are all about the hardware. Zippers, chain belts and straps from Chanel, the Balenciaga studs we know so well from their coveted bags, and a whole lot of gold. Despite the metallic hardware that was shining on the bags, multiple street stylers had transparent bags. Whether it was a Lucite box holding a wallet or large clutch with perforations, what’s inside of a women’s bag is no longer a secret.

Ever since Kristen Stewart was announced as the face of Balenciaga’s latest fragrance Florabotanica, we’ve been following its launch every step of the way. Now that there’s just a few weeks to go, Balenciaga has released an exclusive behind-the-scenes video on the making of the Florabotanica ad campaign.

From the city that never sleeps, it also seems that the fashion crowd never sleeps during fashion week, as photographer Stefania Yarhi has caught even more stylish ladies (and a few men!) outside the shows at New York Fashion Week Spring 2013.

The excitement was in the air as Hollywood’s elite sat in the coveted front row of Rodarte’s Spring 2013 show on Tuesday. Plunked beside Rachel Zoe and Anna Wintour in the front row was Kirsten Dunst (fresh from her visit to Toronto for TIFF to promote her upcoming film On the Road), who Yahri captured leaving the show wearing an on-trend cream and brown striped dress with lace and ruffles from Rodarte’s Fall 2012 collection.

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?

We’ll take this as a very good sign: the day that Kristen Stewart lands in Toronto for TIFF a new Balenciaga Florabotanica ad makes its debut. The ad, which is comprised almost entirely of her face, has a very different mood from the first campaign image.
