Oscar de la Renta Resort 2012: Art and Craft

Posted: 17 May 2011 07:00 AM PDT

The hats were the first thing you noticed.

They were mostly black, some blue, and inspired by Picasso‘s paper guitar sculpture. Some sat like angular little pill boxes on the model’s heads, others were more sombrero-like, drizzled with happenstance graphics that could have been brushed on that morning.

But this was Oscar de la Renta Resort, not a millinery show, so we should probably talk about the clothes, too.

Anna Wintour Speaks Out In Support of Gay Marriage

Posted: 17 May 2011 06:24 AM PDT



Anna Wintour is the latest in a slew of notable New Yorkers to record a video testimonial for the Human Rights Campaign’s “New Yorkers for Marriage Equality” campaign (Barbara Bush, Mario Bitali, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Sean Avery are among those who have also participated). In her testimonial, Wintour is, of course, short sweet and very to the point: “As far as I’m concerned, having the right to say ‘I Do’ is as fundamental as the right to vote,” she says. Amen, Anna. It’s nice to see her getting political for such a worthy cause–and one that’s so relevant to the fashion world.

"As the preeminent voice in the global fashion industry and a publishing icon, Anna Wintour represents the best of New York. She knows the difference between a passing fad and an enduring brand,” Human Rights Campaign Senior New York Strategist Brian Ellner said in a release. “Equality is part of the New York brand.”

Hailee Steinfeld is the New Face of Miu Miu

Posted: 17 May 2011 05:16 AM PDT

Hailee Steinfeld, who has worn designer frocks on the red carpet with more aplomb than actresses twice her age, is now the new face of Miu Miu. Prada reps and Steinfeld’s stylist Karla Welch both confirmed this to various media sources on Monday. Welch told the Daily Beast, “Miu Miu is such a perfect fit for her. Throughout awards season, they were the dresses she wanted to wear." The Fall/Winter 2011 campaign has already been shot, but no details are available about it.

The 14-year-old pretty quickly won the respect of the fashion industry with her sophisticated yet entirely age appropriate red carpet choices.

This Summer’s Must-See Fashion Films

Posted: 16 May 2011 04:28 PM PDT

lthough summer is typically blockbuster season–wherein each weekend, a movie like Bridesmaids or Super 8 is sure to dominate box offices–this summer’s lineup boasts a heavy dose of films that are a little more up our alley. Of course, we love a good comedy/action film/romcom, and any excuse to escape summer heat and sit in air conditioning for two hours is a good one. However, if we can spend those two hours learning about fashion, that $12.50 just feels a little less wasted, especially when our options are as good as the following:

Trendspotting: Asian Influence

Posted: 16 May 2011 02:00 PM PDT

From V’s Asian Issue to the pages of Vogue UK, stylists and photographers are looking east for inspiration. I blame it on Marc Jacobs’ SS11 show for Louis Vuitton, but economists may blame it on the booming market in Asia. Whatever the reason, nothing is more en vogue than referencing the far east.

Image of the Day: Andrej Pejic’s Dossier Cover Gets Censored by Barnes & Noble and Borders

Posted: 16 May 2011 01:00 PM PDT

Androgynous model Andrej Pejic is often mistaken for a girl, but this week Barnes & Noble and Borders went so far as to censor his topless Dossier cover like they would a nudie mag, reports Jezebel. Why? Because although the stores’ regulators understood that he was indeed a man, not a naked woman, they are concerned that some customers might be confused.

This sea of shit, my friends, is the reason why Carine Roitfeld will never be editor-in-chief of American Vogue. Click here for Pejic‘s full Dossier spread.

Prada Debuts Its ‘From Drawings to Pictures’ Exhibit, Featuring New Minimal Baroque Sunnies Styles

Posted: 16 May 2011 11:00 AM PDT

Prada‘s approach to marketing–whether that’s through the internet, billboards, or within its own boutiques–is usually a mix of high fashion, high art, and high thinking. That’s why we’re psyched for the brand’s latest exhibit, “From Drawings to Pictures,” which highlights two new, limited edition styles from its Minimal Baroque eyewear collection.

Instead of, you know, just putting out an advertisement, Prada asked three illustrators to interpret the glasses through drawings. Then Vogue Italia and Prada chose eight photographers to create pop/comic-inspired images of the sunnies. There’s something quite surrealist about the whole thing.

The result is a mini-exhibit on display at Prada stores in Milan, New York, Madrid, Paris, London, Istanbul and Hong Kong starting tomorrow, May 17. Click through for more images from the show.

Tanning Is Super Popular Now: An Analysis of the Reasons Why (Thanks, Pippa Middleton!)

Posted: 16 May 2011 09:45 AM PDT

Let's face it: tan skin hasn't really gone out of style since the heyday of the ’80s when girls slathered baby oil on themselves and baked in their backyards. There was possibly a brief stint in the ’90s–the heroin chic era–when a golden tan wasn't quite as desirable, but it's never really disappeared. Now it's come roaring back with a vengeance.

From the boom of Brazilian models like Gisele and Alessandra Ambrosio to the caricature of tanning portrayed on Jersey Shore, a glow has never been more desirable. And thanks to a certain very tan British family, the trend is guaranteed to stick around for awhile.

Seven Questions for Danish Label Won Hundred’s Creative Director Nikolaj Nielsen (Plus The Fall Look Book)

Posted: 16 May 2011 09:00 AM PDT

There’s a lot of great fashion coming out of Scandinavia these days, but one of the labels I was most excited to see up close and personal over Copenhagen fashion week was Won Hundred. The label, which launched in 2004, was just nominated for Danish designer of the year by the Dansk Fashion Awards. I wouldn’t be surprised if they took home the win–the line defines Danish style in the best way: simple and practical but never boring, well-constructed, well-fitting basics for men and women. Think A.P.C. but less precious. It’s the kind of label where you always want everything they put out.

So we asked creative director and denim vet Nikolaj Nielsen how the line came about, what Danish style is all about, and how on earth he came up with the name “Won Hundred.”
