Victoria Beckham may be known for her sophisticated style and minimalist clothing line, but her wardrobe has seriously transformed since she was introduced to us as Posh Spice in the early ‘90s. From August 20 to 25 you will have a chance to own a part of her style history, as over 600 pieces from her closet will be sold on online retailer The Outnet. The two have partnered to benefit the charity mothers2mothers that cares for HIV positive mothers and teaches them how to prevent spreading the virus to their children.

While the pieces will include evening dresses, coats and ready-to-wear by top designers, we’re most excited for the styles from her Spice Girls days. We’re hoping to see her iconic leopard print mini dress, the lace number from the Spice Girls movie cover, and of course that little Gucci dress, among the products for sale. The 10 pieces that hold the most significance to her—whether they were worn on dates with her hubby or to awards shows, were valued by auction house Christie’s and will be sold through a reverse auction. And yes, this does include the white, crystal studded Dolce & Gabbana dress she wore to the 2003 MTV Awards.

See Kate Upton’s Express ads » An invite to brunch with Kate Upton isn’t exactly one you turn down, which is why I headed to New York earlier this month to celebrate the launch of fashion’s It girl as the new face of Express Jeans. Despite being the brand’s first celebrity face in over a […]

See Britney’s best lingerie looks » No pop goddess has managed to rival Britney Spears‘ ability to rock a good bra. With her envy-worthy abdomen (and propensity to flaunt it), she shimmied her way to the top of 2000s pop, and now, is putting those skills to use. Yesterday, Spears announced her line of intimate […]

In the latest edition of high-end musical chairs, Hermès has announced its new artistic director just days after Christoph Lemaire announced he was leaving the label. Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski, a 36-year-old French native with experience to rival those with much higher profiles, has joined the label, with her debut collection set for Fall 2015. Vanhee-Cybulski’s resume […]

See the Mulberry Fall 2014 ad campaign »

Brit fashion label Mulberry has released its Fall 2014 ad campaign starring Cara Delevingne and yet again, it thrills. Set against picturesque rolling hills, the ads feature Delevingne frolicking the Scottish Highlands with feathers, blades of wheat and all things heritage while modeling the label’s latest wares. Those wares include, most prominently, Cara’s eponymous bag, a backpack take on Mulberry’s Bayswater.

“Big space, fresh air, wind in the hair, away from it all… Mulberry is a brand that is at home in town and country and we wanted to capture that feeling,” said brand director Anne-Marie Verdin. Shot by Tim Walker with art direction by Ronnie Cooke Newhouse, the “off the beaten track” look has never seemed this chic.

Oh, the stories I’ve heard about working at American Apparel. The “casting calls” instead of interviews; conference calls from Dov that felt figuratively endless, store visits from Dov that were literal handfuls; the employee discount that was almost always five-fingered; the mirrored table in the staff room that would have made Tony Montana proud. It’s the stories about American Apparel that have always been American Apparel’s most valued currency. The stories proved American Apparel was cool, hot, fun, funny, subversive, edgy, sexy, and if you had a problem with American Apparel then you were none of those things.

A very brief overview: The now 45-year-old Dov Charney founded American Apparel in 1991, a company with a slow burn masquerading as an overnight success. It took twelve years for Charney to move the company from wholesaling in Montreal to a vertically integrated retail empire, and by 2005 the company had produced over $200 million in revenue. Charney quickly became just as noticeable as the stores that were popping up everywhere, famous enough to have Fred Armisen play him on Saturday Night Live.

The stories about Dov Charney’s peculiar proclivities became rumours, and then the rumours became gossip, and then the gossip became fact, an inseparable truth from any other story on American Apparel. As the company grew and grew throughout the first decade of the millennium, Charney became legend, and not necessarily the bad, notorious kind; fawning profiles, like this 2000 one by Malcolm Gladwell, seemed charmed by a man so honestly leading his business by his boners. Business was booming despite—and maybe because of—these stories, so why fix what wasn’t broken?

Louis Vuitton Fall 2014 Ad-Campaign

Where Nicolas Ghesquiére goes, the rest follow. In the first campaign since assuming the role of creative director at Louis Vuitton, the designer has brought a group of fashion heavyweights to the label’s Fall 2014 advertising images, including Annie Leibowitz, Bruce Weber and Juergen Teller, to help him mold the label in his effortlessly French image. The photos, entitled “Series 1,” are the result of each photographer’s concept, showcasing Vuitton’s all new cool girl wares on the likes of Freja Beha Erichsen, Liya Kebede and Jean Campbell. At the centre of it all is Ghesquiére’s duo of influencers: Charlotte Gainsbourg and stylist Marie-Amelie Sauve, who previously helped him shape so much of Balenciaga’s aesthetic.

The fashion world just can’t get enough of Kendall Jenner—us included. In just a few short months, she walked the runways at Marc Jacobs and Chanel, landed a spread in Vogue Paris and now has landed her first major fashion campaign as the star of Givenchy’s Fall 2014 ads. You go girl.

Alongside models Jamie Bochert, Mariacarla Boscono and New York It boy Peter Brant Jr, Jenner stuns in an austere shot by photography duo Mert & Marcus. The photo is full of furs, animal prints and leather with a hint of lingerie sending the sex appeal level off the charts, which isn’t entirely surprising given the photo duo’s expertise in sultry fashion images.

See the Moschino Fall 2014 ad campaign here »

Much has been said about Jeremy Scott’s wild Moschino debut collection, which hit the runway in a blaze of junk food glory earlier this year as part of Fall 2014 fashion week in Milan. Amongst the adjectives used to describe the McDonalds-inspired collection, “trashy,” “over-the-top” and maybe even “delicious” come to mind, but “elegant”? Probably not.

In the just-released ad campaign for the collection, Scott flips that right on its head, with a series of elegant photos starring Linda Evangelista, Stella Tennant, Saskia de Brauw, Carolyn Murphy, Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmerman as modern-day society swans in the trashy wares. Photographed by Steven Meisel and styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, the black and white photos recall mid-nineties Peter Lindbergh while keeping it classy with boucle and Guido Paulo updos.

Last night, Blake Lively, acclaimed self-styler, fragrance face and our all time favorite Gossip girl joined co-founder Beyoncé in celebrating the first anniversary of Gucci’s Chime for Change. The campaign, which Beyoncé founded alongside Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini and actress Salma Hayek aims to benefit girls and women around the world in the areas of health, education and justice.

With Lively as the face of Gucci’s Premiere fragrance, she is helping to spread awareness of the campaign and is taking great pride in this new charitable endeavor—stylishly so, we might add in a mod-inspired Gucci mini dress she wore for last night’s event. The mustard yellow peek-a-boo dress turned the star into a sixties-studded dream, and was paired with sparkly gold Christian Louboutin stilettos. With a portion of the proceeds from the fragrance going toward Chime for Change and the opportunity for consumers to choose the cause they want to donate to, Blake notes that “[Gucci] is helping people understand where their money is going and giving them a real personal connection to it.”

Good news for Google Glass enthusiasts: Diane Von Furstenberg has added wearable computer frames to her list of accessories. After a noteworthy year for the designer, with the 40th anniversary of her legendary wrap dress, the announcement of her new E! reality show, and the 5th annual DVF awards, she’s turning her love for the […]
