Exploring the magic of a Marc Jacobs and Sofia Coppola collaboration at the Daisy Dream launch
When Marc Jacobs and Sofia Coppola take the stage at the launch for his fragrance Daisy Dream (from $85, Hudson’s Bay) at New York’s Dia Center for the Arts, you want to study them the way a zoologist watches animals in their natural habitat. You’re compelled to scrutinize not only their behaviour but what they’re wearing—she’s in slim, cropped black pants, a coral sweater (both by the designer himself) and black ballet flats, while he’s in a suit paired with dingy Adidas Stan Smith sneakers. Being in such close proximity makes the impenetrable sphere of cool that surrounds them all the more apparent; you fantasize about what their conversations must be about, what clothes he designs with her in mind and whether they share current iPod playlists.
They’ve been friends since the early ’90s, and Jacobs has enlisted Coppola over the years for various projects, from modelling in the ad for his very first fragrance to advising on shoes and bags for Louis Vuitton. He tapped her once again for directorial duties on the TV commercial for Daisy Dream, and it sounds like it was an effortless task. “We have similar tastes in music and photography, so I felt like I knew how to approach it,” says Coppola. “How Marc sees women is something I identify with.” As a feature film director, she embraced the opportunity to not have to deal with dialogue. “I think in the way that a fragrance is sort of abstract, I liked not having to tell a story, but more a mood or an atmosphere.”

Marc Jacobs’ Daisy Dream campaign is hazy, heavenly, and directed by (surprise) Sofia Coppola
The ad campaign for Marc Jacobs’ Daisy Dream, the designer’s latest fragrance, has been released and luckily for, well, everyone, it’s directed by the one and only Sofia Coppola. The two longtime friends and collaborators are at it again, because the short clip is classic Marc and Sofia. It’s no secret that the critically acclaimed director knows how to work the lens, and this time she’s done it in a daisy-filled haze.

Now trending: 12 perfect pink perfumes that will have you smelling like everyone’s favourite spring hue
Check out our favourite pink fragrances »
On Wednesdays we wear pink… you just can’t always see it. Warmer weather brings with it a sense of hazy nostalgia and longing for simpler, sweeter times, and that goes for scents as well. We’re putting down the bold, androgynous fragrances that we’ve been infatuated with, and are taking a look at some of the pretty perfumes that always manage to leave us feeling as carefree as ever.
With the exception of the satin jacket uniform that belonged to the Pink Ladies of Grease, pink (especially light pink) has never really been considered a cool-girl staple. However, thanks to the reemergence of the ’90s that’s infiltrated the fashion and beauty world for the past few seasons, baby pink is back in a new way and this time, it’s badder than ever. While the pretty shade once belonged to the likes of teenaged Britney and Christina, these days it’s being accepted by the cool kids, including the original bad gal herself, RiRi.

The Wizard of Oz is coming to a fashion week near you!
See all the designer sketches here »
For all you Wizard of Oz Mega Fans, September 4, 2014 is a date you are going to want to mark in your calendars. The film’s leading ladies will be transformed high-fashion-style for the film’s 75th Anniversary. Inspired by Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West (we know, we can hardly contain ourselves) Warner Bros. Consumer Products and The Wizard of Oz have teamed with US-based Tonner Doll Collection, plus various designers to create one-of-a-kind 22-inch couture dolls. If you’ve ever thought a green, warty witch couldn’t be glamorous, you’d better think again.
The Wizard of Oz has influenced fashion for decades, from Louis Vuitton’s Follow the Yellow Brick Road-esque dress to Christopher Kane’s rainbow dress of Spring ’14 to Kate Spade gingham pants, the list is endless. But never before have we seen something like this- a heap of our favorite designers re-imagining one of the most popular films of all time! The fashion and costume designers modernizing the looks of the celebrated characters include Trina Turk, Donna Karan, BCBG Max Azria, Chris Benz, Jenny Packham, Marc Jacobs, Betsey Johnson, Lyn Paolo, and Anna Sui– and if the sketches are any indication, this doll collection just may be as covetable as Dorothy’s ruby red slippers themselves. Using elements from the movie, such as Dorothy’s gingham pinafore and the infamous (however, essential) tornado, the designers combined some of today’s greatest styles, including a peplum jumpsuit and eclecticism, into the sketches.

Kendall Jenner’s top looks: Charting the style of this rising fashion plate
The Kardashian clan is having a major fashion moment right now, which can partly be attributed to its second youngest offspring: Kendall Jenner. Previously known for her appearances on the family’s various reality television shows, the 18-year-old has transcended the trash zone, catching the eye of fashion’s top tier as the latest model du jour.

The enduring appeal of Mickey Mouse: Why the fashion industry is still interested
See the best Mickey Mouse fashion renditions »
Walt Disney couldn’t have predicted that his adorable anthropomorphic mouse would earn a fashion icon status well into his 80s. Mickey Mouse, born in 1928, is fashion’s perennial It boy, having made appearances on runways including like Marc Jacobs and Jean Charles de Castelbajac, and famous bodies of Miley Cyrus, Beyonce and Liu Wen all in the last few years.
Last month, Opening Ceremony launched a capsule collection in celebration of Mickey’s first animated film, Steamboat Willie. The film graphics are rendered on delightful button-down shirts, tees, sweatshirts, and plush-soft knit sweaters. The retailer-come-brand enlisted New Era for hats, Vans for sneakers, and Tabio for socks, making sure all of our Mickey needs are covered. Meanwhile, the French answer to Urban Outfitters, Eleven Paris, is also splattering the mouse’s image on their sweats and tees, and over on the fast fashion end, Forever 21 gives us an affordable alternative.
Men can also grab a more abstracted version of Mickey with Comme des Garçons SHIRT collection, which is certainly not a first Disney collab for the brand. Who can forget the flamboyant Mickey Mouse hat Anna Dello Russo sported last year at Milan Fashion Week? Of course, sporting mouse ears is a real thing now, perhaps thanks to Rihanna, who wore a Mickey Mouse-inspired helmet designed by Jeremy Scott in her music video for “Hard.” The unapologetic cartoon fan Jeremy Scott has used the image of our beloved rodent in his Fall 2009 collection, also famously worn by Lady Gaga in “Paparazzi.”

Why we love flankers: A tribute to these fleeting fragrant sideshows
See this season’s top flankers »
When I was 14, a friend and her family picked me up to go to a play. When I got into the car, her normally reticent 18-year-old (and thus super-intriguing) brother said to me: “Wow, you smell amazing.” I had recently received my first bottle of Issey Miyake’s L’Eau d’Issey as a birthday request—I liked the idea of a watery smell and felt a Japanese designer was terribly sophisticated—and was taken with spraying it into the air above my head and twirling under the mist.
This encounter cemented my decades-long love for the ’90s classic (and for being told I smell great), during which time I collected many of the variations of it that came and went on the local department store counter like colourful siblings in town for a short visit. On a given day, I’d pick a version to match my mood: Summer of 2005 or 2008 if it was warm outside, A Drop of Cloud (2009) if I was feeling pensive, Fleur de Bois (2010) to cultivate a much-needed air of mystery. Somewhere along the way, I actually stopped wearing the original, since each new one offered what I loved about it along with a new and exciting twist.

Top Fall 2014 Trends: 226 runway and street style photos of fashion month’s 10 biggest moments
See the top Fall 2014 trend slideshow »
Your first time at any international fashion week will teach you a valuable lesson: You need a fur. And not just any Margot Tenenbaum style granny hand-me-down. A fur so intricately patterned, multi-layered and artificially coloured, that it has to be designer. Given its place at the apex of the top Fall 2014 trends, you’d think recessionary times were long gone—it’s virtually everywhere, from a hyper colour mink at Altuzarra to a fluffy red dress at Prada. Wear it with caution or as Dior prescribes, dangle it over your arm like it’s no big d. Let the fur fly, scruples or otherwise.

A Dozen Girls: Juergen Teller shoots Nicolas Ghesquière’s first collection for Louis Vuitton
See the “A Dozen Girls” photos here »
A new era dawned on the final day of Paris Fashion Week, with Nicolas Ghesquière’s first collection for Louis Vuitton rebalancing the high-design equilibrium offset when he ditched Balenciaga back in November 2012. For Ghesquière devouts, the 48-look collection of pared-back cool girl clothes was like lifeblood. For him, I imagine it was the sartorial echo of Kelis’s sarcasm-filled anthem “Copy Cat” (“Oh come here, copycat! You’re my puppet, you know I love it! You could do it, I did it already”). You know, the Parisian way of saying “Step off, b*tch.”
There’s no comparing yesterday’s show with Marc Jacobs’ glittering spring ode to showgirls, and while choosing between the two would be fashion’s Sophie’s Choice, it looks like someone did: Jeurgen Teller. The German photographer long associated with Marc Jacobs ads turned down the Spring 2014 campaign starring Miley Cyrus, and instead shot an off the cuff lookbook for Ghesquière’s Vuitton collection entitled “A Dozen Girls.” The photographs feature a sampling of the collection on models including longstanding Ghesquière favourite Liya Kebede. Like the show, the photographs are, in a word, flawless.

Girl can’t help it: All of Miley Cyrus’s crazy Bangerz tour costumes
See Miley Cyrus’s Bangerz tour costumes »
Last Friday, Vancouver was treated to opening night of Miley Cyrus’s much-anticipated Bangerz tour. To nobody’s surprise, the concert’s visuals delved into XXX territory, including tongue prints, high-cut leotards and 24-karat gold leaf rolling papers on sale at the merch table. But hey, what else would you expect from the queen of twerk controversy?
Cyrus revealed the nine-piece wardrobe created by fashion BFF Marc Jacobs, The Blonds and Roberto Cavalli as previously reported, to name a few.
Sliding down an inflated model of her own tongue (natch), Cyrys kicked the night off in a custom two-piece red suit by stylist Simone Harouche accented with ostrich feather shoulder details. Accessorizing with a pair of white cowboys boots and a white Chanel mini cross body bag, the singer gyrated through a rendition of her song “SMS (Bangerz)” alongside a group of neon bears and balloons. Later, Cyrus swapped into a cannabis-covered deep-V leotard by The Blonds, keeping the cowboy boots but swapping the Chanel for a silver backpack by the brand.
