Spring 2014 shoes: 55 favourites we’re already itching to get our feet into
See our favourite Spring 2014 shoes »
With Paris Fashion Week ending our month long preview of all things Spring 2014, it’s time we gushed over the shoes that accompanied all that we are dying to wear in the coming season.
Femininity reigned supreme on the runway through Balenciaga, Dior and Roland Mouret’s take on the stiletto. Dior’s complexly inter woven straps would make any shoe addict salivate. At Balmain, our impending full coverage boots will shed a few layers and appear as heeled boots with varying dotted sheer and embellished cage finishes. While we saw Saint Laurent’s fall styles embrace the studded and spiked appeal of punk’s aesthetic, Junya Watanabe clung onto the trend for his Spring 2014 shoes with a menacing ankle boot. Enviable green snakeskin heels and platform chunky heels were seen at Gucci and Michael Kors respectively. Spring is incomplete without feather embellished flats as seen at Rochas.

Street Style, Paris: Gorgeous girls outside fashion week
See the street style from Paris »
Wednesday was a busy day in Paris, with Hermès and Miu Miu’s stellar collections closing out a month of Spring 2014 fashion shows, and Marc Jacobs bowing out as creative director of Louis Vuitton. In a tour de fashion force, many stylish individuals came out for the closing shows.
Again, we saw the black and white trend in full swing and many of our stylish ladies were channeling it with their own interpretative spin. Overlays of blooming floral prints blended with exquisite tailoring and funky textures were just the fun decals needed to make heads turn. Miroslava Duma made her mark with a brilliant white, structured jacket with cinched waistline that oozed femininity. The classic mid-century design was ushered into the 21st century with a funky, bold rooster print.
In a combination of trends, others expressed their penchant for soft pink pastels in a sexy slinky, boudoir style dress. Coupled with a sharp, plaid overcoat and complete with metallics dancing at the bottom of the jacket, it was the perfect balance of femininity and fierceness made appropriate for the city and not just the bedroom.

Elle Fanning vs. Dakota Fanning: The sisters battle it out for best dressed in Louis Vuitton
Earlier today in Paris, sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning sat front row at Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2014 show to see Marc Jacobs’ final collection for the fashion house. The Fanning girls, who both appeared in past campaigns for Marc Jacobs’ own namesake brand, go tête-à-tête in today’s best dressed feature.
Dakota Fanning wore a floor grazing black dress of sheer lace layers from the Louis Vuitton Resort 2014 collection. Her accessories included a black monogrammed LV clutch and black open toe sandals. Mimicking her sister, Elle Fanning picked her look from the same collection, appearing leggy in an all white artfully embroidered mini skirt and a matching loose long sleeved top. Her pick was a great contrast to her sister’s all black and her teal wedge sandals added just the right pop of colour to her all frosty look. Dakota loosely tied her hair while Elle let hers hang on her shoulders. Both girls went for simple makeup with a rosy lipstick, Dakota’s was slightly matte and Elle’s glossy.

Short Circuit: The culture behind fall’s cropped cuts
To say that punk influenced the fall runways is an understatement; the late-’70s subculture bred from anti-establishment rock ’n’ roll dominated many collections. Aside from the tartan, vinyl, chains and studs, and the faux piercings on just one of the models’ lobes—a page ripped right out of the CBGB style guide—another trend rose from those anarchic ashes: choppy haircuts.
“Punk is an idea that was floating around,” Sam McKnight said backstage at Fendi, where he created haute fox-fur mohawks a few days after engineering a similar long-on-top, short-on-the-sides optical illusion at Clements Ribeiro.
“It might have been something in the air,” says Redken creative consultant Guido Palau of the punk theme, “but it wasn’t planned.” Other influences led him to create short styles at Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and Jean Paul Gaultier—not least fashion’s fickle nature. “Designers see girls with long hair, and they get a little despondent. Sometimes they just want that different character, the kind of girl that would cut her hair.” Palau dates the move away from long, luxe locks to January 2013, when he cut over 40 wigs into gamine pixies for Raf Simons’s Spring 2013 Dior Haute Couture show. “Raf really wanted what that brings to an outfit—what that brings to a dress.”

New York Fashion Week: Ralph joins the mod squad, Calvin shows minimalism and Marc dreams of the 1890s for Spring 2014
See the final looks from New York Fashion Week Spring 2014 »
That’s a wrap! It’s been a whirlwind week of over 350 shows, front row gossip and a whole lot of crop tops (both on and off the runway) but somehow we survived to blog another day. Day 8 of New York Fashion Week saw three of the city’s designer kings take the stage: Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs. Three names that are synonymous with American design and three very different collections.
Ralph Lauren celebrated ’60s mod with a suite of mostly black and white looks featuring the era’s signature simple shift dresses, knee high socks, contrast collars and menswear inspiration. Streamlined silhouettes were pumped up with mix and match prints of black and white florals, plaids, stripes and checks. Next came an army of Crayola solids: a zingy green skirt suit, a neon orange coat, a red mock neck paired with red trousers and the show stopper: a cobalt blue strapless gown sported by Karlie Kloss.

Edie Sedgwick Style: This It girl’s reign returns to the runways this season
See Edie Sedgwick’s style in life and on the runways »
Though she dominated just a sliver of time at Andy Warhol’s Factory in the sixties, Edie Sedgwick’s platinum blond bob, magpie style and tragic penchant for the excess has transfixed designers and artists alike long since her death by drug overdose in 1971. This season, Sedgwick is back into the spotlight thanks to perennial cool maker Marc Jacobs, who opened his Spring 2013 collection with one so unquestionably Edie look: a simple striped black and white T-shirt worn over hot pants, a platinum blond bob and low slung kitten heels. The look transformed for Fall 2013, with boudoir ready looks hitting the runways over and over at Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent.
The original Poor Little Rich Girl splashed onto the art scene starring in the Warhol-directed at film of the same name in 1965, and quickly deemed a “youthquaker” by Diana Vreeland, then editor of Vogue. She entered icon territory when rumoured paramour Bob Dylan left traces of her within “Just Like a Woman,” and “Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat.”
Sedgwick embodied the freewheeling sixties with her more is more approach to layering fur and leopard print over striped T-shirts (worn simply as dresses) while accessorizing with shoulder length chandelier earrings, exaggerated mod eye makeup and false lashes. Since, everyone from Courtney Love to Agyness Deyn and most recently Emma Watson has replicated her style. She’s become an inspirational mainstay over the years, re-appearing every few seasons in a new form at Burberry, Proenza Schouler and Dior Couture and more. Even Sofia Coppola fell under the spell, with a onetime capsule collection designed as an ode to Sedgwick in 1994. Sedgwick’s popularity reached fever pitch a few years back with the 2006 biopic Factory Girl starring Sienna Miller, whose own style was bound to Sedgwick’s at the time.

Miley Cyrus vs. Jennifer Lawrence: Who wore the crop top best?
See the crop top looks up close »
The crop top is one of this season’s biggest statement pieces, on and off the runway. Rocked most confidently by those with bodies that can, the crop top’s been seen on celeb midriffs from Diane Kruger to Rihanna and most recently by two of Hollywood’s favourite edgiest dressers.
The crop top trend has made a good friend of Miley Cyrus, who after being photographed in a demure Chanel dress earlier the same day, returned to flaunting her abs for an appearance on Good Morning America. There to promote Las Vegas’s iHeart Radio Music Festival alongside Ryan Seacrest and Keith Urban, Cyrus wore striped and perforated black and white crop top and full skirt from Marc Jacobs’ Resort 2014 collection. Keeping things decidedly simple, Cyrus accessorized with thin layered necklaces by Jennifer Meyer, white pointed-toe heels by Celine and a signature red pout.
