Designer Christopher Bailey says he wants to “celebrate the idea of craftsmanship” with this collection, which is loaded with rich sumptuous colors in tribal patterns and ikat prints, with beaded collars and crocheted trim, giving the whole endeavor a multi-cultural, heavily...
Versace Spring 2012 Menswear CollectionWell isn’t this fun. For this collection, Versace took a look back at the good old days of Miami Vice and the house’s ever-present Greek key motif and baroque prints. But it’s not literal enough to be a strict redux attempt; this is more like Miami Vice by way of Jersey... Dsquared2 Spring 2012 Menswear CollectionCanadian twins Dean and Dan Caten, the dynamic designing duo behind Dsquared2, describe their spring 2012 menswear collection as “Sartorial-minded sportswear for guys who aren’t afraid of color” and describe each outfit in terms of what port of call this well-traveled,... Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2012 Menswear CollectionDomenico and Stefano took one look around them at the candy-colored menswear dominating the season and loudly declared “NO.” Eschewing the bright colors that everyone else seems to be embracing, they offered up a collection of crisp, masculine looks rendered in very muted tones of burgundy,... Dirk Bikkembergs Spring 2012 Menswear CollectionThe closing word for today is MEN, darlings. And it’s a word that Dirk Bikkembergs clearly loves. Like all of his collections, this one offers a bright, sexy, cartoonish version of masculinity; skin tight (and skin-baring) clothes in either stark blacks and whites or brilliant... Prabal Gurung Resort 2012 CollectionPut on some polka dots and dance in your Cha Cha heels, darlings! Prabal Gurung, who recently won the Swarovski Award for Womenswear at the CFDA Awards, is another designer who seems to have shaken off the apparent shackles of the fall and spring seasons, taken off his shoes, and wiggled his... Louis Vuitton Resort 2012 CollectionBeing the BFF of a world class designer has its privileges. If you’re Sofia Coppola and that designer is Marc Jacobs, it means you get to collaborate on a collection. But it wasn’t Marc the indie film princess worked with; it was Louis Vuitton design director Julie De Libran and... Tory Burch Resort 2012 CollectionWe’ll be honest; a lot of Tory Burch’s stuff isn’t to our taste at all. A bit too ’70s focused and referential; and she seems to actively court the wealthy mommy demographic, which is fine, but boring for a couple of gay fashion bloggers. We have always recognized her... Michael Kors Resort 2012 CollectionMichael Kors took his genius for sportswear, smashed it up with actual sporting gear, and offered his latest definition of resort wear. Inspired by his last trip to Australia, the zipped-up surf and scuba-inspired looks in neon colors make it feel like he took this chance to free himself up a... Jason Wu Resort 2012 CollectionJason Wu took inspiration for this collection from his recent trip to Old San Juan and if you tilt your head and squint, you can see the colorful houses and memorable architecture in these very tailored and fit-to-perfection looks, with blocks of vivid colors popping up here and there. It... Donna Karan Resort 2012 CollectionDonna Karan offers her own definition of the term and for her, right now, “Resort” means a crisp, sharp look, heavy on the bold red/black/white combination, with feminine touches and party silhouettes. We really love this collection; a seemingly simple, very modern looking... Diane von Furstenberg Resort 2012 CollectionAunt Diane does it again. If there’s one niche where Diane von Furstenberg should reign supreme, it’s the resort collection, where her usual facility with prints and color, as well as her chic and easy aesthetic, more than serve her well. This one’s the usual fabulous... H&M Lookbook: Menswear Fall 2011 CollectionHaving featured the H&M Womenswear lookbook several days ago, we are way behind on getting the boyclothes out there for discussion and/or the formation of shopping lists and the counting of pennies. Because we don’t know about you guys, but we love this collection. While it... Yves Saint Laurent Resort 2012 CollectionYSL designer Stefano Pilati has decided that his version of a resort collection is a literal one and that’s refreshingly direct. So direct, we feel like we’re watching the wardrobe tests for a 1940s screwball comedy about society swells on a cruiseliner. Everything is bright and... Bottega Veneta Resort 2012 CollectionSummer is officially going on outside our windows, which are currently firmly closed as we contribute to the hole in the ozone layer (to the annoyance of our cats, who are having their squirrel and pigeon stalking activities severely curtailed by the weather). Since the sun is shining and the... Elie Tahari Resort 2012 CollectionDarlings, let’s all jet off to Morocco today. Right now. We can sell Saffy into slavery and pass out for three days after sampling the local greenery. Doesn’t that sound so much better than whatever you had planned? Elie Tahari got it right when he took the Marrakech Express as... Cannes Watch: Everyone’s Got a RandomDarlings, let’s slap up a bunch of random pictures from the Cannes Film Festival and form opinions, shall we? Kirsten Dunst attends the “Melancholia” Premiere during the 64th Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals in Rodarte. At first glance we were all,... Oscar de la Renta Resort 2012 CollectionThere’s a big part of us that sincerely wishes the world of fashion wasn’t so rarefied. In our perfect world, runway shows and presentations would travel the world like a circus, going from town to town and putting on a show. If people could really see these clothes walk past them... Barcelona Bridal WeekLet’s have some pretty. Barcelona Bridal Week 2011 features five days of bridal collections from local and international designers. Five days! Those Euro-bitches sure take their weddings seriously. Anyway, we thought we’d feature some of the looks because hey; who doesn’t... Chanel Resort 2012 CollectionKarl Lagerfeld unveiled the latest Chanel resort collection at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden Roc in Antibes, French Riviera. Both the collection and the location highlighted something for us we never managed to articulate before: Chanel + Resort = Boring. First, a little background about the Hôtel du... Kelly Osbourne at the Tribeca Film FestivalKelly Osbourne attends the premiere of “God Bless Ozzy Osbourne” during the 10th annual Tribeca Film Festival New York City. We’re not sure about this look. It seems a bit of a step backwards for her; like something we would have seen her wear circa 2008 or so, when she was... |
