Oh, American Apparel. You are such a tease. One minute your models are bearing all, the next they’re covered up. You give us a topless model on horseback, or a girl with her pubes showing through lace panties, and then a photo of founder Dov Charney’s childhood darkroom and a story about his struggle with dyslexia. Aw. You keep us on our toes! And we like that. But what most folks seem to love (or love to hate) are American Apparel’s more provocative, more gratuitously naked ads, like this one. It fits nicely into the brand’s canon of provocative ads, which dates back to 1995. Another important question: how does one wear this bathing suit without flashing everyone? Check out the full ad, out today. Apparently there are many topless poses one can assume in this bathing suit. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Roksanda Ilincic Fall 2011: Niche Glamour Posted: 23 Feb 2011 06:09 AM PST
LONDON–Roksanda Ilincic‘s Fall 2011 collection was interesting. Part of it–the dark lips, the silver satin–reminded me of Gwyneth Paltrow circa 1996. Another part–the loose waves, the column dresses in odd colors like tangerine and royal blue–reminded me of 1940s Hollywood. Despite its glossy facade, I was a bit befuddled by it all. And not necessarily in a bad way. Ilincic is quite obviously designing for herself, not around what people expect from her. Is that the makings of a great designer? I think…maybe.

| Marios Schwab Fall 2011: A Return to Form Posted: 23 Feb 2011 05:44 AM PST
LONDON–Last season, the fashion industry was pleased with Marios Schwab’s Halston collection in New York, disappointed by his eponymous showing in London. As Long Nguyen said on Fashionista, “He needs to bring back a bit of fearlessness and risk.” This season, things were different. While Halston proved a bit flat, London ready-to-wear was on key, featuring a set of dresses and separates that were sexy, cool, and sophisticated: Ideal for his hip London customer, but also good for his wealthy Halston-obsessed lady.

When I stopped by the Coterie yesterday to interview Lauren Conrad and check our her debut contemporary line, Paper Crown, I expected a crush of cameras, reporters and publicists. I expected that an overly protective publicist would monitor my interview to make sure I didn’t ask certain questions and that I wrapped it up after 10 minutes. So it was a pleasant surprise when I located Paper Crown’s modest booth at Pier 94 to find Conrad and her two business partners (also her two best friends–not Hills alums), just hanging out, listening to Billy Joel on an iPad, and not a paparazzo or crazed publicist in sight. Of course, if MTV hadn’t dropped the reality show they were filming about Conrad’s new line, there would have been a 15-person camera crew crowding the space. “I was a little disappointed at first but I’m very much OK with it now,” said Conrad of her show being canceled. “[The show] was very different from The Hills–it was filmed like a documentary–it was a very different experience.” Now, she even seemed relieved there wasn’t a camera crew around to make everything crowded and chaotic. “Can you imagine if there were cameras here?” she said, looking around at Paper Crown’s small booth. Sadly, the absence of camera crews means that there’s little hope Conrad’s show will make it to air on any network–because MTV stopped filming halfway through the design process. “It’s an incomplete story now” Conrad said. But back to the clothes. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Over the past five years, Target’s GO International designer collections have really enhanced our wardrobes without depleting our bank accounts. But the most coveted pieces from each collection have always flown off the shelves, and there are some dresses that we just couldn’t manage to get our hands on. Luckily, Target has introduced the GO International Designer Collective, where they’ve given us a second chance to pick up dresses from past collaborations with Proenza Schouler, Zac Posen, Rodarte, Thakoon, and many more. A few months ago we predicted which designs we hoped would make the cut. Sadly only a couple of our selections (the Rodarte slip dress and the Thakoon tie-waist frock) are among the collection of 34 reissued dresses (all priced under $50!), but there are still plenty of cute pieces to go around including Jovovich-Hawk mini dresses and floral print shifts from Tucker and Tracy Feith. So here’s your second chance–the collection will be available on March 13th at Target.com and in store until April 10th or, as we’ve learned the hard way, until supplies last. Click through to browse the complete re-released collection. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Mary Katrantzou Fall 2011: Fabergé Beauty Posted: 22 Feb 2011 12:18 PM PST
LONDON–Every season, Mary Katrantzou‘s unforgettable prints depict a certain thing or idea. For the season that put her on the map, it was perfume bottles. Last season, it was scenes from hotel rooms. For Fall 2011, it was Faberge eggs. These prints are spellbinding, and the shape of her molded skirts and dresses is bewildering to see close up. We were blown away by a Swarovski encrusted skirt, made to look like a garden of green jewels dotted with pink flowers made of gems. The beauty of these garments is unmistakable. But are they wearable? Yes, some. And this season more than usual, given her extensive use of stretchy knits. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| CFDA President Diane von Furstenberg Let a 15-Year-Old Model Walk In Her Show Posted: 22 Feb 2011 10:01 AM PST
About a week before New York Fashion Week, the CFDA, helmed by Diane von Furstenberg, re-released a set of health initiative guidelines issued in 2007 to address concerns over the health of models. Regarding the age of models, the guidelines stipulate that designers should, “support the well-being of younger individuals by not hiring models under the age of sixteen for runway shows; not allowing models under the age of eighteen to work past midnight at fittings or shoots; and providing regular breaks and rest. (Consult the applicable labor laws found at www.labor.state.ny.us when working with models under sixteen.)” Only at her show last week, von Furstenberg didn’t practice what she preaches. It seems that 15-year-old Hailey Clauson (we're pretty sure she's the 15-year-old in question) walked in the designer’s fall 2011 show. A source just forwarded an email from DVF to “colleagues and designers,” in which she admitted, “it is to my horror, that I discovered last Friday that in spite of me repeating that to my production and casting people, one girl slipped through the cracks. One girl who will be 16 in March walked my show last week!” Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

LONDON–Giles is always a confident collection. Mr. Deacon is cocky–in the best possible sense of the word–which make his clothes sing, no matter what idea he’s tackling. But last night was different. Set in the second highest court house in the country–we had to go through metal detectors to enter–it was more mature without losing that distinctive Giles feel. Comprised mostly of black and white, the designer showed plenty of takes on the traditional white blouse and the little black dress, tying it all up with a prim bow in each girl’s hair.

| Burberry Fall 2011: Sunny Snow Day Posted: 22 Feb 2011 08:50 AM PST
LONDON–Christopher Bailey is an optimist. “I don’t think it’s been a negative time in fashion!” he exclaimed to a reporter after yesterday’s lovely Burberry Prorsum show. By the time I got my chance to ask him a few questions, I already had a clear idea of his vision for Fall 2011: Early 1960s Burberry adverts starring Jean Shrimpton, and the weather. Those two references translated to a modern, cocoon-like silhouette and a finale that included clear–black patent leather piped–rain capes and “snow” falling from the rafters. (The first row’s heads were covered in the confetti, including Anna Wintour’s.) What is it with Brits and the weather? “I think because it’s so changeable. I called my mum yesterday and she said that it was snowing in Yorkshire, which is only three hours away,” he told me enthusiastically, as if it was the first question he’d been asked all day. “Here, it was kind of bright sunshine and somewhere else it’s rainy. It changes so much that I think it’s something that we’ve become obsessed about.” Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
