LADIES TO THE RED CARPET, PLEASE.   Angela Bassett This is perfectly suited for a women’s luncheon kind of event but decidedly underwhelming for a red carpet. Oh Miss Angie. We know you can bring the fierce. Do so next time.   Brianna Perry  Well, you can’t fault her for...

Darlings, let’s all look at a cute preppy boymodel in cute, preppy boyclothes. It’s Gant Rugger’s first summer collection and the looks are pure Hamptons tennis club. It’s polos and madras, oxfords and v-neck sweaters, all the way down the line. Like something a young,...

Boys! Let’s all go try on some sunglasses! It’s our favorite thing to do! Normally, we’re pretty good about not being too extravagant with our clothing purchases, but when sunglasses season rolls around, we have to sometimes be physically restrained lest we wind up buying 30...

Let’s all have a fascinating discussion regarding the trends and techniques on display in the SuiteBlanco spring/summer 2012 campaign, featuring prettyboy model Adam Senn.     Or we could just.. y’know … look at it all. Damn. You’re welcome – but...

Okay, boys, whip ‘em out! Ew. We were talking about your credit cards, you sickos. It’s your turn to do some imaginary (or possibly real) shopping. ASOS informs us that their men’s core trends include: Laurel Canyon – A modern take on vintage Americana and 1970’s West Coast...

David Gandy and Shalom Harlow get their genetically superior Don and Joan on for the Banana Republic Mad Men Spring collection. “Banana Republic, the brand focused on workplace style, and AMC are proud to announce an encore installment to the acclaimed Banana Republic ‘Mad...

  Would you be able to tell, from looking at it, that over a thousand hours of labor went into the above dress? What exactly is haute couture supposed to look like? Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri have worked hard to redefine the Valentino name once they took over the house,...

Darlings, here’s your Daily Pretty. No, scratch that. Here’s your Daily Stunning: the Armani Privé spring 2012 collection, inspired by snakes and reptiles. Maybe the thought of python skin doesn’t scream “pretty” to you, but these gorgeous looks should get you to...

We’re of two minds about this collection and its inspiration. Amy Winehouse is destined for the same iconhood that gets bestowed on so many 27ers, and she was already something of a fashion icon at the time of her death, so the idea of Jean Paul Gaultier looking to her for inspiration...

As usual with Elie Saab, this collection is ethereal and very, very feminine. There’s some playing with shape just a little bit here, but for the most part, it’s beautiful gowns, straight down the line. You could dress half the Oscars red carpet with these looks and chances are,...

A favorite of Lady Gaga, Stephane Rolland sent a collection of eye-catching looks out on the runway, many of which seemed tailor-made for her. Starkly dramatic gowns (mostly) in shades of red, black, white and chartreuse, with body-altering flourishes, architectural details and gold accents...

The House of Dior will probably never really get over the New Look, just like Chanel can never really abandon its iconic suit.  Not that we would want either one of them to abandon them; there’s a reason they’ve stuck around so long. With its characteristic nipped waist, full...

For the first time in almost eight years Atelier Versace presented their collection to the public, rather than just private clients. When we saw the pictures, we think we understand why. We’ll state it upfront: we were very disappointed with this collection. The majority of the looks...

Darlings, it’s a lazy day here at T Lo Tryptophan Processing Industries, International. Lorenzo – fool – wants to go shopping today. Tom wants to curl up and watch a movie with a really great credits sequence because he only plans on being awake a few minutes past it.  ...

One of our very favorite things about Jean Paul Gaultier is that he’s one of those rare birds who actually has a healthy sense of humor when it comes to fashion. Pair that with an innate theatricality and you can always count on an entertaining runway show. He revisited many of his...

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are famous for sending dramatic, theatrical looks down the runway, but this collection doesn’t seem as refined or as thought-out as previous ones.  Their tendency to play with scale and proportion is still here, with giant whip stitches punctuating many...

  This is new creative director Olivier Rousteing’s first collection and we’ve got to hand it to him for looking not just to toreadors for his inspiration, but also to Nudie Cohn, the legendary costumer of country western stars in the sixties. It’s rodeo chic, with...

    The Italians are certainly loving the kitschy retro prints this season. After Dolce & Gabbana’s kitchen-curtain kitsch, Prada unveiled her auto body detailing version of it. Miuccia described her collection as “sweet,” which it is; with pleated skirts and...

  Walked out to a sound track of Sophia Loren singing “Mambo Italiano,” and featuring insane prints of pasta, eggplants, tomatoes and peppers, not to mention garlic earrings, Domenico and Stefano gave the world a big old helping of Italian kitsch. The mood is fun and sexy and...

Ooooh, we like this one, darlings. We’re in the mood for an Art Deco-inspired collection right about now. Designer Frida Giannini took her inspiration from Deco-era architecture, especially the New York skyscrapers of the period. Lots of rigid lines and angles tempered by soft, flowy...

A good designer will take you on a trip when he shows you his latest collection and that trip often has a time travel element to it. For this collection, Elie Tahari took us to explorer-ridden 19th Century Egypt. More intelligent social commentators than us can opine as to why there’s...
