For our final vintage Mother’s Day tribute, we reached out to Man Repeller‘s Leandra Medine, who passed on this delightful photo of her mother back in the day. We may never know what mama Medine was pondering in said photo, but what we do know is that whatever patent top action she’s got going on right there is seriously amazing. Happy Mother’s Day!

Next up in our weeklong tribute to stylin’ fashion industry-spawning moms, we’re going back in time with some seriously beautiful photos of a mother responsible for not one, but two of our favourite ladies: The Globe and Mail‘s Amy Verner and jewellery designer Jane Apor:

Well, the biggest night in fashion came and went, and all we have to show for it are some seriously hilarious memories from listening to the paparazzi over livestream (“That picture was great, except for the idiot behind you!” and a knockout top 10 of red carpet getups. From the extreme (hello, Karolina Kurkova‘s full-body shine!) to the ultimate coup (Coco Rocha sported a vintage Givenchy suit once owned by Elizabeth Taylor!) we countdown our favourites starting with none other than Queen Bey in spellbinding Givenchy:

Last Mother’s Day, the FASHION team looked back into our own personal archives for some of our most beloved vintage photos of our mothers. This year, we decided to flip the spotlight onto some of our favourite industry folks and find out more about the women that shaped them.

Every day this week, we’ll be featuring a new mom. First up, the stylish creator of mega designer Rachel Roy:

Some of our favourite girls-about-Hollywood stepped out at last month’s Tribeca Film Festival in some of the prettiest and mixiest (yes, we know that is not a word) bouquets of floral prints we’ve seen this season. From Emma Watson’s head-to-toe Miu Miu worn at the Struck by Lightning premiere, to Michelle Williams’ multi-fabric’d Giambattista Valli worn to a party for Take This Waltz, to Riley Keough’s floral Rachel Roy blouse, we’ve got the picks to get the look for $100 or less!

It’s a cliché, yes, but age is just a number. To prove it, we’ve rounded up some of the most influential women in fashion and beauty and asked them about everything from how they celebrate birthdays to the products they swear by.

Mixing prints is a fun way to liven up any outfit. It can be a bit tricky, though, so be cautious and don’t overwhelm your body. Wild, mismatched patterns are in desperate need of a slim, well-fitted silhouette to draw the eye in—the wrong fit risks making you look more like a bulk bag of gummies than eye candy. Don’t be shy with colour. For the perfect pop, extract one shade from a print in the form of a shoe. And limit your accessories, keeping the chosen few minimal. If you’re still weary about mixing prints, get your feet wet by wearing one strong pattern on the body and incorporate another with a bag. Novices beware: Leave mixing more than two prints at a time to the experts.

“Lady Gaga wants to look crazy — her next outfit I know is going to be surf and turf. It’s the ones that think they look great, and you go, “Are you out of your mind?” Or the ones who have become total fashion victims. I just think Prada should be shut down, and truly I think they hate Americans. I think they’re still angry at us for WWII.” More of Joan Rivers‘s bon mots at the link. [The Cut]

The American designer Rachel Roy is a hero of mine.  She is beautiful, dark-skinned, curvy, and elegant, and her diffusion line Rachel Rachel Roy is both on-trend and flattering.  Note that the collarbone cut-out on this neon python print dress ($119, at select Bay stores) still allows for a bra and that the gentle gathers […]
