As we inch towards the freewheeling body positive existence so craved by Instagram feminists everywhere, (see: #freethenipple, #freeyourpits, #arthoe and so on) celebrities stepping out of the house in the near-nude is becoming more and more a part of today’s normal. In the last year alone, some version of the “naked dress” has made an […]

With so many parties, galas and movie screenings this past week, celebrities everywhere were dressed to the nines in spring attire, giving us plenty of fashion eye candy and outfit inspiration to last the weekend.

Earlier this week, the Time 100 Gala was held in New York City and celebrated the 100 most influential people—and some of the most stylish, we might add. Although Beyoncé was not in attendance (insert sad face emoji), red carpet beauties like Carrie Underwood and Christy Turlington stunned us with their sartorial choices. Also there to accept an honourable mention was Amy Adams, who did no wrong in the fashion department, wearing a sleeveless column dress with copper embroidery, which complemented her iconic red hair.

Any Berliner worth their passport will tell you that their native city takes many other things more seriously (72-hour stretches of clubbing, for example) than fashion. This notion is mostly upheld, if only from a practical point-of-view—the girls wear flats, and the boys never wear plaid. But, with each edition of Berlin Fashion Week, it appears that the city has become a little more comfortable with its power on the runway. Still relatively-new in its 14th season, the Berlin tents have become a breeding ground for a cool, calm, and, above all else, considerate style ideology, edging out other Mercedes Benz-run weeks (except New York, duh), as a top contender for international glory.

The first round of Fall 2014 shows welcomed 50 designers from across Northern Europe, and, even more exciting were the 11 debuts alone, from a young newcomer who received orders from Lady Gaga, like, five minutes ago, and a Russian sartorial empress-in-the-making who has already dressed Naomi Campbell. The potential for breakout success is palatable, with well-heeled Anglos like Georgia May Jagger and Elizabeth Hurley spotted front row. And while all these street style blogs like to portray Berlin as the city of dark, unapologetic black and slouchy fits (which, fine, it is), there’s also an emerging, beautiful trend toward elegance and opulence to be found that is anti-Berlin indeed, but echoes back to Germany’s golden Enlightenment era—you know, pre-1914. Here’s 10 of our favourite moments and designer picks from Berlin Fashion Week’s Fall 2014 shows.

Check out today’s batch of Milan Fashion Week Spring 2013 street style»

Stripes, toques and leather oh my! With Milan Fashion Week Spring 2013 winding down and Paris next in line, photographer Stefania Yarhi caught the tail end of eccentric street styles in and around the shows.

With the weather not quite down to chilly temps just yet, Yarhi’s lens captured fall trends already in full swing. The fashion crowd stayed warm outside shows in denim, leather and fur, all the while being trumped by a brilliant forest green leather jacket and pink pant combo worn by none other than street style queen Anna Dello Russo.
