When we first heard that Anna Dello Russo would be designing an ‘over-the-top accessories collection‘ for H&M, we immediately thought, “Well, this is absolutely worth lining up for. Just tell us when and where and we’ll be there, credit cards ready!” The past few H&M collaborations have had us salivating but unfortunately we missed out on Marni, skipped Versace and only snagged a few accessories from Lanvin. But this one is a can’t-miss, won’t-miss (using our Diddy voice). Anna Dello Russo is known for her over-the-top style and personality, so...  Read More..

Designed by Sophomore creative director Chrissie Miller, the shirt features a red pump with a broken heel, and the #FashionWeekProblems Twitter hashtag. Miller said: “The t-shirt design came about from this idea of #FashionWeekProblems. Who hasn’t had a major shoe emergency on their way to a show or party?

After being spotted in Milan, Italy at Armani’s headquarters early last year, and after months of speculation, Rihanna was finally named the global ambassador for Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans last summer. Her first set of ads for Fall 2011 were both sexy and edgy – total Rihanna style. She donned a boyish blonde wig for the promos, posing atop a car in jeans and underwear and little else. We got our hands on Rihanna’s Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans campaign images for spring/summer 2012 and she’s revealing a much softer side. Gone is the blonde wig...  Read More..

Let’s be honest – going skiing is less about hitting the slopes and more about hitting up the lodge. You know, sipping hot chocolate or other warm (spiked) drinks, and bringing the snow bunny look to life. We’re all about après-ski – the tradition of going out and socializing after skiing. Well, skip the slopes and head directly for the fireplace at the lounge in these ski/snowboarding separates by the latest Ashish for Topshop collection. Said to be inspired by “ski instructors and 80s ski wear and Jackie Collins“, the separates include puffy jackets, ski pants, hoodies,...  Read More..

While savvy shoppers are still snapping up leftover items from the Versace for H&M collection, H&M is already on to its next collaboration.

“The Very Best of Versace for H&M” launches tomorrow in the UK and this Saturday, Nov. 19 here in the U.S. Are you excited? You should be! But gauging by recent designer collaboration launches (the sellouts; the fallouts), you’d best be prepared going into this sale. The good news is that H&M is controlling the amount of pieces each customer can go home with (so no more watching shoppers ahead of you leave with 20 bags of stuff to sell on eBay). The bad news is, if you don’t get there early, you may not get one of those lucky shopping bracelets. Here are the complete...  Read More..

All of the Versace details are there: heavy studding, lots of leather, shocking color combos, mixed prints only Versace can pull off, Medusa Medallions everywhere...  Read More..

We rave on and on about endless designer collaborations but the most important ones are the ones that enable us to truly give back. Last night I attended a cocktail party at the Nicole Miller boutique in SoHo to celebrate her partnership with Indego Africa (Independence. Development. Governance.), an organization that partnered with Cocoki (Cooperative de Couture de Kicukiro), a sewing cooperative of over 40 women in Kigali, Rwanda. This is Nicole’s second collaboration with Indego and at Tuesday night’s event I got the chance to chat with two of the women involved with the partnership....  Read More..

New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Week‘s have finally wrapped for the season but the average woman won’t be wearing those collections anyway.

Described as “affordable luxury“, this limited-edition women’s collection is Valli’s first low-priced line....  Read More..
