Perry Ellis is a brand undoubtedly for the preps. From their collared shirts to classic sportswear, it exudes a sort of squeaky-clean All-American vibe. And in terms of design, they’ve always leant on the side of tradition, the side of safety… that is, until Marc Jacobs’ infamous Spring Summer 1993 collection. Jacobs was hired as […]

Phillip Lim Spring 2013

Phillip Lim’s collection for Spring 2013 mirrors Love’s signature slouchy blazer/oversized t-shirt look circa ‘94.

It’s beginning to look like Courtney Love could have a breakthrough year ahead of her. As her North American tour can attest—she performs in Toronto on July 20 and in Vancouver July 22—the 49-year-old artist is firing up an inferno of a comeback trail.

Having just opened a major art exhibition with David LaChapelle at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum, the former Hole frontwoman seems to be more industrious than she’s been in years. She’s in the throes of completing her autobiography (slated to hit shelves in December), she recently finished a fashion campaign with none other than Saint Laurent and is putting the finishing touches on tracks for an upcoming solo disc (rumoured to be titled Died Blonde).

On July 9—the day of her birthday—Love had a quick chat with FASHION’s features editor, Elio Iannacci, to talk about her upcoming Canadian concert dates, her thoughts on Hollywood punks and the importance of saying no to reality TV.

In case you missed the memo, the 1990s are back in a big way. Minimalist and grunge designs have dominated the catwalk for spring (and fall!) and unsurprisingly this trend has crossed over into beauty as well. 1990s beauty is tricky in that it can easily go from relaxed to messy. So how do you try the 1990s beauty trend without looking like Courtney Love’s darker days?

We posed the question to our Beauty Panel this week and they came back with some surprising and innovative tips for the ’90s trend. From statement lips to smoky eyes, our Beauty Panel bloggers had lots of interesting makeup ideas to share.

Since most of us are still riding the wave of Britannia fanaticism post-London Olympics, news that Brit model Agyness Deyn has teamed up with famed London label Dr. Martens for a capsule collection could not be better timed.

Deyn, who first scored a pair of Dr. Martens boots at the age of 13, has been the face of the brand for the past two years. Her debut 29-piece collection will now have her at the helm of many design collaborations to come (a spring/summer 2013 line is already wrapped up). The collaboration pulls heavily from Deyn’s own signature grungy aesthetic, while also finding inspiration from style icons of the ‘90s.
