Alexander Wang

Sally Hansen has once again collaborated with top fashion designers to create seven new nail colors for Fall. Prabal Gurung did floral-patterned nail strips with the beauty brand for Spring, but this time around, his choices are more rich in intensity. His lineup includes four shades that mimic the electric color scheme seen on his Fall 2012 clothing line, where models wore Blue Rose, Gilded Lily, and Onyx (top) on the runway to match their ensembles. He also created a fourth polish, Ivory Skull, which embraces the white nail polish trend. While Prabal saluted the darker side of the season, Alexander Wang selected three different neutral colors: Pumice, Bandage, and Ion (bottom). His models wore Bandage, a nude taupe on the designer's Fall 2012 runway. All seven limited-edition Complete Salon Manicure ($8) hues will be available at Target this month. So at least you can paint with Prabal or Wang colors, even if you aren't able to get your hands on their creations.

After getting her hair done at the Andy LeCompte salon in West Hollywood, Nicole Richie exited in a cozy and chic ensemble that's perfect for the upcoming Fall season. She wore a black-and-red Alexander Wang sweater ($208, originally $595) with black skinny jeans, killer black cutout House of Harlow sandals ($295), round sunglasses, and this Givenchy duffel bag ($2,085). When it starts getting chilly, re-create Nicole's look via this similar red sweater by 525 America ($75), black skinny jeans, edgy sandals, and her exact Givenchy bag. Be sure to refer to FabSugar for styling tips on how to perfect Nicole's latest look.

While running errands in LA, Emily Blunt kept her cool in this T by Alexander Wang black-and-blue striped tank ($92), which she wore over another black tank and faded skinny jeans. Stripes are usually classic looking, but leave it to Wang to give the preppy print a grittier vibe. We particularly love the deep-cut armholes and the narrow stripes on this style. Emily's tank also comes in black-and-white stripes ($92), so pick your favorite, then work it into your everyday style. Then come night, tuck it into a black leather skirt or shorts for a dramatic look. Want more options? Peruse other T by Alexander Wang tanks on ShopStyle.

After five months of legal volleys, the courts have ended the $450 million lawsuit accusing Alexander Wang of operating a sweatshop in New York City.

Judge Harold Baer of the New York federal court dismissed the suit on Monday, but lawyers for the plaintiffs and the defendants came to a settlement at the beginning of August. Terms of this agreement were not disclosed, but one of its stipulations was that both sides request the case be thrown out.

"We are gratified that this matter has been dismissed, as the allegations were unfounded and completely false," said a spokesman for Wang. Lawyers for the plaintiffs have not commented on the matter.

The suit has been the focus of much media scrutiny since it was filed in March, when a group of 30 former Wang employees led by Wenyu Lu claimed they had been forced to work 16 days with no breaks in a cramped, windowless room. Another former employee, Flor Duarte, filed a separate suit later in which she claimed that she was fired after applying for workers' compensation. From the beginning of the case, spokespeople for Wang have said they would "vehemently defend any allegations" of wrongdoing, but that didn't stop the brand's SoHo store from being egged in late March.

A week after the egging, lawyers for Wang said in court papers that Lu was disgruntled because he was fired for bullying other employees. In June, the lawyers said Lu and Duarte had "mischaracterized their former workplace as a hovel, while attempting to portray defendants as 'sweatshop owners,'" in an attempt to exact a big settlement.

Model Nicole Trunfio attended the afterparty for Killer Joe in NYC wearing a minimalist's dream ensemble: a silky white blouse, which she buttoned up all the way, with this T by Alexander Wang nude leather skirt ($425) and Hollywood's favorite shoe of the moment, ankle-strap sandals. Sticking to her streamlined theme, Nicole's only accessories were a black clutch, gold stud earrings, and a single gold bangle. If you too want to get on the minimalist wavelength, pair Nicole's exact nude leather miniskirt with a white blouse, ankle-strap sandals, and a black clutch for your next night out.

Zoe Kravitz is known for her daring style, and her latest NYC ensemble solidified her fashion guts even more. The actress attended a Broadway show wearing a black sheer maxi dress, topped over a black bandeau bra and high-waisted shorts. An orange beaded necklace popped against the black, while her Alexander Wang black oxfords ($450) provided comfort and cool. While we admit that this look is not for everyone, if you have the fashion guts like Zoe does, then re-create it for your next nighttime affair. Or, if you want to ease into the sheer trend, sport your black sheer maxi over your swimwear at the beach.
