It’s official, the Met Gala is now the place for rumoured celebrity couples to make their red carpet debut. There was a whopping four rumoured couples to come out of hiding at last night’s events. We, however, were left wanting oh so much more. With the constant plethora of celeb dating rumours, some of this […]

We know that celebs have got the whole dainty tattoo thing down to a science (see: Kylie and Hailey’s latest ink), but last night, singer Grimes left them all in the dust with a massive (no, really) tattoo that covers her entire leg. “New tattoo by @delphinenoiztoy тихо,” she wrote in her Instagram reveal. The […]

See which celebs rock blunt micro bangs  » Bluntly cut micro bangs have cycled in and out of trend for decades, yet they’re admittedly difficult to pull off. While visions of pin-up girls and Beyonce’s newly chopped fringe come to mind, poorly cut micro bangs can resemble the “pudding basin” fringe of late medieval period. […]

Over 40 acts and more than 50 thousand festival-goers took over Union Park in Chicago for the 9^th annual Pitchfork Music Festival this past weekend. Pitchfork marks a bittersweet point in the summer festival calendar. On the one hand we have a plethora of festival style to peruse (insert dancing-lady emoji), on the other, it means festival season is nearly half over (appropriate emoji: super cry face).

From rare kicks to platforms attendees were seen pairing statement footwear with even bolder handbags. Teddy packs and bare-all translucent bags were the perfect festival piece to lug around outdoor concert essentials. This collection of festival sunnies includes the whole gamut, from heart-shaped to cat-eye. This year’s Pitchfork style is all about the details; footwear, bags and frames.

On Lorde‘s current hit, “Royals,” the 16-year-old singer-songwriter wryly implores listeners to “call her Queen Bee” so she can rule a music scene that she clearly feels needs a new sovereign. Her buzzy debut disc, Pure Heroine, serves as both scepter and crown jewel to her fantasy reign, boasting sparse, electro-basted pop tracks that bring to mind early-Björk and late-Postal Service. In the thick of her North American tour—which includes an upcoming stop in Toronto—the New Zealand-born talent took time out to chat about her pointed lyrics, her thoughts on Will, Kate and Pippa and FASHION‘s provocative cover girl, Miley Cyrus.

When it comes to collaborations, it seems like we’ve seen it all. The over-saturation of these fast fashion moments hardly allows us enough time to digest one limited-edition collection before our attention is pushed towards another. We’d say we were over the thrill, but that would probably be a lie. Especially with the refreshingly new kind of collaboration starting to emerge: that of the designer/musician collab. Though the musician half of the partnership rarely has experience in the fashion industry, there is something incredibly exciting about these strategic alliances. When the worlds of fashion and music collide, as we’ve seen happen with Beyonce’s latest collection for H&M, the media buzz is unbeatable. Designers and musicians tend to identify each other’s creative values, so why not work together?

Fashion favourite Hedi Slimane of Saint Laurent Paris has traded in models for musicians with the Saint Laurent Music Project, a portrait series inspired by the relationship between music and classic YSL. French duo Daft Punk, who mixed Slimane’s spring womenswear runway soundtrack, is the latest addition to the series. The designer also shot the dapper set’s June 2013 cover for Dazed & Confused. Slimane reaffirmed his ability to mold contemporary music through his recent collaboration with Canadian mixstress of the moment, Claire Boucher aka. Grimes. The two recently produced a collection of illustrated men’s T-shirts, influence by vintage YSL love posters. Grimes, who doubles as a talented illustrator, inked the five T-shirt designs herself (they’re currently available on ssense.com).

The street style in and around the last two days of New York Fashion Week’s Spring 2013 shows were a frenzy of varsity jackets (Opening Ceremony), motorcycle jackets (Acne) see-through bags (from Kenzo to Claire’s) and Asian-inspired printed silks (Proenza Schouler, obv) jealousy-inducing heels (and even a few flats) as shot by our street style photographer Stefania Yarhi. Amidst the madness, Bill Cunningham was playing with some adorable bulldogs. You better bet we caught that too.

Grimes’ epic self-directed video for “Genesis,” the latest single off her critically lauded album Visions, was exactly what you’d expect from the Montreal-based pop star simply because it’s so unexpected. Like the inimitable mélange that goes into her music (Mariah Carey, Drake and Nine Inch Nails are all top influences), this McGill-student-turned-underground-DJ threw everything but the kitchen sink into the five and a half minute long clip. Whether it’s Xena: Princess Warrior nods or echoes of The Spice Girls dancing in the desert for “Say You’ll Be There,” the sheer randomness of the whole video is what makes it work.

Despite a torrential downpour and sticky sweaty temps, music lovers hit Chicago this weekend for the annual Pitchfork Music Festival to see Feist, Sleigh Bells, Grimes, Dirty Projectors, Vampire Weekend and more perform on stage. In and amongst the crowds, Toronto vintage gal Lauren Baker attempted to shoot some of the cutest gals (not an easy task amidst the rain!) Lady Gaga was spotted in the crowd as well, but alas, we didn’t snap her. Here are some of our Gaga-less faves.
