With all this cold and wet weather, it’s nice to have something to look forward to. Enter resort wear, with its decidedly beachy, nautical feel. This season’s collections were chock full of brights, scuba wear, and ‘50s-inspired pieces. We’ve pulled our favourite cruise-ready pieces to show you the best ways to wear tropical colour for your upcoming getaway.

Miuccia Prada rounded up her men for Prada’s Fall 2012 menswear collection with a mouth-full of a title: Prada Presents: Il Palazzo. A Palace of Role Play.

In typical Prada fashion, there was plenty of pattern-on-pattern clashing, and ornate prints turned into football helmets—aboriginal headdresses upon closer inspection. This time, mixed into the model assortment were actors Gary Oldman, Garrett Hedlund, Jamie Bell, Emile Hirsch, Adrien Brody, and Tim Roth. (Who better to walk a collection based on role play?) Double-breasted suits and Hugh Hefner robes were the wears of choice, complete with a dangling pair of rose-coloured glasses (get it?).

We round up the best in show, best finale and top invitation designs of Milan fashion week.

When we first reported in October about the Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli exhibit to open at the Met, our minds went wild with thoughts of how the institute would connect the two. Well, Miuccia Prada is now raining on our little trompe l’oeil parade.

Prada is not enthusiastic about sharing the spotlight with Schiaparelli, to say the least. She complained to WWD, “It’s too formal. They are focused on similarities, comparing feather with feather, ethnic with ethnic, but they are not taking into consideration that we are talking about two different eras, and that [Schiaparelli and I] are total opposite […] I told them, but they don’t care.”

Different eras? Sure. Total opposite? Not entirely. Both experiment(ed) with Surrealism, escapism, fantasy, and visual trickery. To boot, both could easily be considered the artistes of their era. From where we sit, the Met exhibit sounds promising enough, and we can only hope that Prada has a change of attitude before the start of the exhibit on May 7.

From Charlize Theron‘s feminine froth, to Reese Witherspoon‘s red hot, to Rooney Mara‘s black-on-black, last night’s red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globes was certainly a kaleidoscopic feast for the eyes. (A feast that will usher in countless trends, to be sure.) Amidst all the showstopping beauty, who came out on top? To help narrow it down, we’ve got the trends down to an ombré effect. Check out our mega slideshow, and tell us who was your favourite of the night!

Coming as a shock to no one, or at least not us, Lana Del Rey‘s face (and bod) has been signed with Next Models. Joining a roster shared by the likes of Karlie Kloss, Alexa Chung, and Arizona Muse, the agency will likely be handling all of her upcoming campaigns. Whilst we’ve only been able […]

The insanely beautiful face of Michael Pitt is part of Prada’s Spring 2012 menswear campaign, and we can’t stop staring. The campaign features him looking perfectly pouty, “[exploring] the language of male role models from the rock star to the playboy, from the self-reflective introvert to the engaging and humorous farceur.” We don’t really care what it’s showing, though, we’re just glad to see his Boardwalk Empire–era hair, his broad shoulders, and… what were we talking about again?

Sweet, sweet, surrealist joy. The Met’s Costume Institute has confirmed next spring’s mega exhibit, Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: On Fashion, set to run from May 10 through August 19, 2012. As we originally reported in August, the exhibit will focus on the connections between the two Italian designers who, while working in completely different eras, share proclivities for the oddball, uncanny, and arty—Schiaparelli with her ’30s collabs with Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau, and Prada with her ongoing relationships with some of today’s best known architects, artists, and foundations.
