Oh, this is good, you guys. As you may know, we love us a good M.A.C collaboration, (speaking of, the Nasty Gal collection just launched today!) and the latest announcement does not disappoint. The cosmetics brand is teaming up with iconic milliner Philip Treacy to launch a collection that will launch in April 2015. The collection […]

The build up to this year’s Met Gala has been major. Designers, celebrities and the fashion elite have been scrambling to piece together a look that fits the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s theme, PUNK: Chaos to Couture and while admittedly, the punk-inspired looks were few and far between, we were certainly thrilled with a few.

Channeling her own recent V Magazine cover, Miley Cyrus went latter day Debbie Harry with platinum blonde spikes and a long fishnet Marc Jacobs dress. Anne Hathaway debuted a similarly bleached bob alongside her date and dresser for the night, Valentino Garavani, sending the twittersphere in a tizzy.

Co-chairs of the event Riccardo Tisci and Rooney Mara went punk-light with Mara in a beautifully detailed white lace Givenchy dress and a pop of crimson on the lips.

Also wearing Givenchy was none other than Beyoncé—the honourary chairperson for this year’s event. Pairing her custom-designed strapless black and gold printed gown with blinged out boots in the same shade, Queen Bey proved for her second year in a row that last on the red carpet is always best.

After finally receiving the Anna Wintour nod of approval, Kim Kardashian made an appearance at the Met Gala 2013 in a floral-print Givenchy dress with baby-daddy, Kanye West at her side.

Someone who is more known for consistently nailing red carpet looks than Kimye, is Emma Watson and she hit a high note yet again in a skin-bearing Prabal Gurung dress with a single silver drop earring hanging from her left ear.

And while Kristen Stewart has held fast to her role as the face of Balenciaga’s Florabotanica, she strayed from the house’s new wears, opting instead, for a crimson Stella McCartney pantsuit.

As we prepare to dive head first into a new season of trends to try, must-haves to buy and warmer weather to embrace, we take a look back at the weeks that started it all. Hitting the runways back in September, the Spring 2013 fashion week season brought us the hula hoop bag (Chanel), the Google glass headset (DVF), the ever-revolving designer door (Raf/Hedi/Jil and so on). Take a visual trip back to Spring 2013, as our globetrotting editors distil 28 of the most memorable moments from New York to Paris and back again.

Body-con dresses, leopard print blazers and sheer blouses are not a part of the Duchess of Cambridge’s wardrobe—and for good reason. But queen of the body-con world, Kim Kardashian, thought that Kate Middleton could use a slight wardrobe update.

Sources are saying that when the Kardashian sisters were in London promoting their new Kollection, they sent Kate a box of clothing from their line. The box was quickly returned.

I think we’d all agree that Princess Beatrice’s bow-meets-crab Philip Treacy fascinator was amongst the breakout stars of the Royal Wedding. Now, the hat that scared a worldwide audience by peeking out during almost every shot of Will, Kate and Queen E at Westminster Abbey is going on to do more good by being auctioned off on eBay to profit UNICEF UK and Children in Crisis. And with just over a week to go until the bidding closes, offers have already reached $9,600! Haven’t got that kind of cash to spend on such a cherished piece of history? Get thee Photoshop and superimpose that creature atop your head, like the fans of these Facebook pages have done! It’s truly the hat that keeps on giving…

It’s hard to believe after five months the Royal Wedding is actually a wrap. As the editor-in-chief of Weddingbells Magazine, this story has been on my editorial beat since William and Catherine annouced their engagement back in November. I knew I had to be in the city for this grand spectacle, and I can tell you it’s an experience I won’t soon forget. The pomp, the pagentry, the excitement, the energy, it has been amazing. I have been to London several times, but never have I seen the city so alive, so electric and so gorgeous… London you cleaned up well for this royal occasion.

A longstanding and decidedly British tradition is donning all kinds of extravagant headwear to nuptials⎯a tradition the royal family has long followed.

Catering to both the fashion crowd as well as royalty is designer and milliner Philip Treacy, a former protégé of Isabella Blow, and frequent collaborator of the late Alexander McQueen⎯besides virtually every female royal, his pieces have sat on the heads of Lady Gaga, SJP, Grace Jones and Daphne Guinness.

The fashion credits of Lady Gaga‘s latest video have just been released, and let’s just say the ample Christian Louboutin, custom Alexander McQueen, custom Philip Treacy and Dolce & Gabanna are enough to make Patricia Field seethe with envy. [Racked]

Gucci will be unveiling a children’s collection later this month. The age range is 0 to 8, and the line features clothing, accessories and gifts–for when the silver spoon is actually a pair of Gucci logo-engraved sunglasses. Kids these days. [WWD]

Though Isabella Blow‘s wardrobe will be auctioned off this September, hat-designer Philip Treacy has revealed that a film about the fashion editor’s life is in the works. John Galliano will play himself and for the thus unconfirmed lead role, Andre Leon Talley promises “Treacy has a great trick up his hat, and it’s going to rock the world.” [Fashionologie]

British designer Giles Deacon is going to be a very busy bee. Aside from running his eponymous line and working with retailer New Look, he has just been declared creative director of Emanuel Ungaro. [Racked]
