Jennifer Lopez Rocks Embellished Couture Leggings Like a Queen
It’s Fri-YAY! This means anything party-ready is on our radar—and today, we’re zeroing in on the dazzling leggings that Jennifer Lopez wore yesterday while promoting the second season of NBC’s Shades of Blue. Her beyond-crazy press schedule in New York (she changed outfits SEVEN times yesterday!) would have thrown anyone into a tailspin—but not J.Lo. […]

Melania Trump is Reportedly Wearing This Designer Label to the Inauguration
With the US Presidential Inauguration just a few days away, it’s time to talk dresses. Quick refresher: President-elect Trump addressed this topic himself a few weeks ago when he spoke to the press in response to Meryl Streep’s acceptance speech at the recent Golden Globe Awards. “We are going to have an unbelievable, perhaps record-setting […]

Fall Fashion 2014: 231 photos of the top 10 trends of the season
See the entire Fall fashion 2014 trend report »
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.
View by trend: DARK ROMANCE | SWEATER DRESSING | STATEMENT OUTERWEAR | RED, ORANGE & PINK | OPTIC PRINTS | FUR | MIDI SKIRT | UTILITY | SURFACE DETAIL | ACCESSORIES
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.

NYFW diary: Back-to-back-to-back with Tory Burch, J.Crew, Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta, and more!
Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012, Photography by Peter Stigter From the prim to awesomely improper, yesterday at New York fashion week was another dizzying day of back-to-back-to-back shows. Let’s drill it down:
The liner notes at Tory Burch’s show yesterday referenced a proper girl who’s come undone by falling in love with the wrong sort of guy. Well, it might have been wrong for the girl, but on the runway it was very, very right. Self confessed, I’ve never prayed to the Burch alter, but the designer’s beautiful Fall collection might just have me changing my tune. Featuring pencil skirts, lacey dresses in wine, emerald, navy, and dusty rose, and some of the loveliest floral appliques and pearl details on done-up cardigans, the collection entered Carey Mulligan territory.

PFW diary: Our cheat sheet to a day full of Jean Paul Gaultier, Viktor & Rolf, Cacharel, Sonia Rykiel, and Kanye West gossip
Jean Paul Gaultier shot by Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images Judging from the long line-ups at the Gelato stands I whizzed by today, Paris is doing Summer: Part Deux. While the temperatures continue to soar, the PFWers continue to get creative with the contents of their luggage in an attempt to beat the heat: Knits are paired with shorts and summer dresses with suede knee-high boots; open-toed flat sandals are back; hair has gone the way of the top knot and makeup is down to a slash of bright lipstick. Bags run the gamut from leather to straw to skins to canvas. And sunglasses? If you don’t have a pair that’s brightly coloured/aviator/dark and oversized/white, you might as well stay in your hotel room and catch up on the Jackson Trial. Luckily, I brought two pairs that fit the bill (David Yurman and Marc Jacobs) so I spent Saturday dodging French doggie doo on the streets in between shows and presentations. Here’s the highlight reel of my day:

Fashion news: Sophie Théallet wins CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award
Chanel Iman and Sophie Théallet. Photo via WWD. Sophie Théallet was awarded the sixth annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund grand prize of $200,000 and a year-long mentorship at last night’s awards dinner. Keynote speaker Alber Elbaz was introduced by Nicole Kidman and said of success: “It’s like a bottle of perfume. You smell it, you don’t sniff it or drink it.” With the career boost that last year’s winner Alexander Wang received, things are looking good for Théallet’s future.
