This Sunday, we celebrate the 33rd annual MTV Video Music Awards, and what we can only assume will be a bevy fashion and beauty looks we won’t stop talking about for many moons. So that being said, we used this upcoming opportunity for genius and/or disaster(or hopefully, a beautiful combination of both) to take a […]

Our look is about to get a whole lot more…joyful. We know that Milan Fashion Week isn’t one for subtlety and neutral palettes and at yesterday’s Moschino Spring 2015 show, Jeremy Scott took that to a whole new level. Following Scott’s candy and cartoon-inspired Fall 2014 collection, which was his first for Moschino (the man knows how to make an […]

From the food aisles to a galaxy far, far away, Fall 2014’s fashion narrative is just as varied as the many women who’ll likely fall for its manifold charms.

Call it the Lorde effect (or blame it fashion’s ever-growing obsession with Game of Thrones), but designers across all four major fashion cities seemed to fall under the dark spell of moody heroines. At Dolce & Gabbana, dresses were made to scrape that forest floor. At Valentino, capes shrouded the wicked and at Rodarte and Preen, Star Wars prints were made for the modern day Princess Leia.

And while normcore may have mounted last season’s defence to street style’s increasing zaniness, Fall fashion 2014 is rife with ways to make statements. Flashbulbs will no doubt capture this season’s array of larger than life outerwear, from the utilitarian parkas on Alexander Wang’s robotic runway to Burberry’s painterly blanket coats. Meanwhile, fur was back with a brightly hued vengeance, ombréd at both Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs, and in Crayola checks at Altuzarra. At Lanvin and Marni, fur was layered in wrap form over everything from short suits to sweatshirts.

This season’s accessories are especially light-hearted, with everything from a McDonalds Happy Meal to a carton of milk inspiring fall fashion 2014’s bags at Moschino and Chanel respectively. There were fur muffs at Tory Burch, crystal-incrusted snoods at Alexander McQueen and knee-highs á la Vivian Ward at Versace and sneakers once again staking their claim at Chanel.

If there ever were a time to pick your poison, it would be now.

After yesterday’s glamping experience, Kate Middleton was back to her typically regal ways as the Royal tour of Australia continued in Adelaide. Arriving at Edinburgh RAAF base this morning, Kate wore a pastel pink peplum top and skirt by go-to Alexander McQueen as she greeted the latest batch of eager onlookers and a 6-year-old girl from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were then driven to the suburb of Elizabeth, which was named for the Queen in 1963. The two visited youth workshop Northern Sound Studio, where Kate basically made GIF history faux-spinning some records and persuading Prince William to follow suit. Later, the Duke and Duchess greeted with more Royal fans while unveiling Prince George Square.

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.

Pink is the new neutral when it comes to cold weather dressing (we can thank Carven, Céline and Miu Miu for starting that trend last fall) and this season Line Knitwear designers John Muscat and Jennifer Wells have fallen for the shade’s feminine wiles. From bright and bold to pale and powdery, the design duo embraced their softer side this season with a spectrum of playful pinks in drapey magenta shawl coats, fuchsia wool motos and pale pink angora crops.

Speaking of angora, the soft downy wool appeared in almost every runway look as sweater, skirt, tube top, short and—most prolific—the shoulder snood, which was worn shrug-like over tunics, bustiers, jumpsuits, even swingy shawl collar coats. (Put a snood on it?)

After a season chock-full of bubblegum runways, the pink trend seems to be holding. With spring in the distant future, bright young things Lea Seydoux and Allison Williams showed how to transition the soft shade into warmer weather, while keeping it age appropriate and stylish.

In London for the announcement of BAFTA’s 2014 Rising Star award, Seydoux wore a mix of designs by Miuccia Prada. The outfit featured a Miu Miu fit-and-flare long-sleeved dress with a minimalist floral print and a sugary pink bejeweled overcoat by Prada. As the current face of Miu Miu, alongside Blue Is The Warmest Colour co-star Adèle Exarchopoulos, she can be expected to don her fair share of modern designs from the quirky Italian designer over the upcoming awards season.

See the Emmys 2013 red carpet gallery »

The Primetime Emmy Awards were held last night in L.A. drawing the stars of our favourite highly addictive shows. From Kerry to Carrie and beyond, the red carpet was lined with gown after gown of the most feminine pinks, vibrant blues and fresh off the runway pieces.

Making a simple but bold statement with fall’s pink trend, Rose Byrne showed clean lines in a petal pink Calvin Klein cropped two-piece as did January Jones in a textured Spring 2014 Givenchy strapless gown by Riccardo Tisci. Sisters Zooey and Emily Deschanel wore similarly hued gowns by J.Mendel and Houghton as they presented an award onstage. Blue was also popular for Tina Fey and Allison Williams, who worked cobalt blue in Narsico Rodriguez and Ralph Lauren respectively.

Our Emmys 2013 standouts include the ever-smoldering Sofia Vergara whose mind-blowing curves left us with body envy. The Modern Family star sizzled in a crimson Vera Wang gown and emerald Lorraine Schwartz earrings. Claire Danes, who walked away with a coveted Emmy for Best Actress in a Drama, was delicate in an off white Armani Privé Fall 2013 gown.

Accompanying the glamour came an evening chock full of surprises, laughs and unforgettable acceptance speeches. Memorable moments include the host Neil Patrick Harris’s mid-show musical number, Michael Douglas’s Liberace-esque speech and the funny and casually dressed Will Ferrell. With the best leading ladies in primetime television satisfying our sartorial needs on the red carpet and dapper gents as far as the eye could see at the Emmys 2013, glamour was definitely in the air!
