So how about 2014, everyone? Here’s one thing we can say about it: it existed. It consisted of 12 months, 365 days (almost), and a whole lot of unnecessary drama in the world of pop culture. We’re not going to touch everything else because this is not the place. So where to even begin? The […]

The post Can We Not? The 2014 pop culture moments we hope never to relive appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

I am the first to admit that I have a pretty bad case of FOMO like, all the time.  For example, whenever Rihanna is somewhere that I’m not, I’m basically blind with rage and regret (so, always because I’ve literally never been in the same place as her). But never, never, has my FOMO been […]

Fierceness, thy name is Naomi. And Linda. And Cindy. Recognized in fashion circles by their first names alone, ’90s supermodels are the latest icons to ride the decade’s wave of nostalgia into our already punk-, grunge- and angst-heavy wardrobes.

Known now as the Supers, the larger-than-life model pack fronted by Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer and Christy Turlington ruled not only the runway but the cultural zeitgeist as well. They were everywhere, starring in George Michael’s epic “Freedom 90” music video, appearing in a Time Magazine cover story, even launching a chain of Fashion Cafes. And while they wore everything from skin-tight Alaïa bandage dresses to Versace scarf print leggings, their look was ultimately defined by a 1991 photo shoot that captured the high-impact collision between the supermodel phenomenon and the moto trend. Lensed by Peter Lindbergh for Vogue, it featured a Marlon Brando-meets-Madonna blend of hardware-heavy motorcycle jackets, ball skirts and pleated minis with embellished leather caps and Chanel pearls.

John Galliano is back on the map after a two-year hiatus. The Gibraltar-born British fashion designer, who not so long ago held the reins to one of the biggest fashion houses in the industry, has been the subject of much dispute since his 2011 firing from Dior. Galliano spottings over the past couple of years have been scarce, leaving questions about a possible comeback unanswered. With a new Vanity Fair interview on the stands and a televised one just released online, Galliano seems to be straying from the low profile he’s been keeping contributing to suspicions of a rebound on the horizon. From internships at his designer pal’s atelier to facing blackout drinking, were taking a look at recent developments in John Galliano’s slow but sure return.

Though musician turned fashion designer stints are becoming the norm, photographer turned designer is something we have yet to come across. Breaking the latest collaboration boundary, Mario Testino is taking time off from behind the lens to design a capsule collection for Net-a-Porter. Inspired by the rural Peruvian costumes and artisan craftwork captured in his […]

For the third year in a row, J.Crew has partnered with Vogue and the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) in support of the 2012 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners. And by that, we mean that the brand will have three more hella covetable capsule collections in-store later this month. This year’s winner, the handsomely bearded (had to) Greg Chait, of The Elder Statesman and runners-up, footwear designer Tabitha Simmons and jeweler Jennifer Meyer have each created a signature, limited-edition capsules for the brand.

Salivating already? You can sign up to receive a pre-shop notification beginning on May 8 in advance of the collection launch of May 22. But in the meantime, have a click through our photos for a mini tease.

Check out today’s street style photos from New York Fashion Week!»

Our go-to New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 street style photographer Stefania Yarhi has captured more fashion editors, models and celebrities from outside presentations from Zac Posen, Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler among others.

It seems as though some of the stylish ladies that her lens captured are taking advantage of the warm September weather via their sartorial choices seen here. Vogue Japan editor Anna Dello Russo who has been making the rounds this Fashion Week Spring 2013 looked sleek and sexy in a form fitting short black dress, black sunglasses and gold jewellery that accented her golden summer tan, as did model Doutzen Kroes (who was spotted with Kate Bosworth at the Theyskens’ Theory show a few days ago) in a similar outfit of black tank top, shorts and sunglasses. Meanwhile, American Vogue editor Anna Wintour looked summery in a colourful printed dress, and Belgian model Hanne-Gaby Odiele seemed to think it’s still the middle of summer wearing white pants and a purple tie-dyed crop top (although if we had her stomach, we’d probably wear that all year round).

As we approach September 6, three of the country’s top metropolises are prepping for Canada’s first-ever Fashion’s Night Out, a veritable fashion fiesta that began with Vogue and CFDA’s first FNO in New York City in 2009. The one-night, after-hours festivities celebrating everything fashion will see exciting events taking place in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. […]

Janelle Monáe, a style icon in her own right thanks to her androgynously chic black-tie wardrobe and ‘50s-inspired “Monáe” ‘do, is the latest celeb to sign on as one of Cover Girl’s celebrity faces. Monáe’s known for her amazing pipes, genre-bending sound and incredible personal style, so the beautiful songstress’s impressively well-rounded résumé makes her a spot-on match for the famously all-American beauty brand.

September issues are always a big deal, and Vogue has quite the cover contender: Lady Gaga. The pop star excitedly took to Twitter last night to share the first peek at the cover, posting to her Little Monsters page: “SHH DONT TELL TWITTER/ SEPT ISSUE OF VOGUE MAGAZINE/ Sorry Anna but the underground kids deserve it. bisous! […].”

Kate Upton’s in-your-face rise to fame may not have had unanimous support, but even the model’s harshest critics have generally credited the girl for having an amazing body. Though she obviously caters more towards the Sports Illustrated crowd, her curvy, feminine figure has been a refreshing (though envy-inducing) change for many women too, especially when compared to the pole-like bodies so often sent down the runway.

However, according to a “pro-thinspiration” site run by an anonymous blogger, Upton is a “lazy, lardy” piggie. The writer, who described herself as a former model who weighs in at 100 pounds, posted images of Upton in a bikini, deeming the blonde bombshell as “a solid 30 lbs too heavy” to wear it.

To say that Raf Simons had a mountain of pressure weighing down on him for his couture collection for Dior would be an understatement. And yet somehow, Simons managed to pull off the impossible: his stunning 56-piece collection was a reverent nod to Dior’s heritage fused with Simon’s signature modernity. Even more impressive than the collection itself is the outpouring of approval from the tough-to-please fashion crowd, including Simons’ peers. Here are some of the reactions to the collection so far:
