FABTV: Stella McCartney and Ed Ruscha, Iconoclasts

Iconoclast: n. One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions.

Iconoclast: n. One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions. Can I just say I love Sundance's Iconoclast series. It's in its fourth series and if you indulged in the over-the-top Stylista last night and need a series dose of thinking television, check out tonight's episode where Stella McCartney and artist Ed Ruscha talk art and fashion, fashion and art. Here's a clip where the two are discussing how competitive both their industries are. Stella explains how one must have "survival instincts" in fashion, and really, in both industries, it's all about "selling, selling, selling." Intrigued? Watch tonight on the Sundance channel at 10 p.m.

P.S. I'm also interested in watching the upcoming Iconoclasts of skateboarder Tony Hawk and director Jon Favreau, as well as Cameron Diaz and architect Cameron Sinclair.

Leanimal, My Favorite Project Runway Winner to Date I loved winner Leanne Marshall's clothes more than I have ever loved anything produced on reality TV. Almost everything she makes is lovely, feminine, and modern — the kind of pieces that manage to seem timeless and of-the-moment all at the same time.

Celebrity Style: Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon ditched her boyish Paige Denim jeans and embraced the LA sunshine.

Reese Witherspoon ditched her boyish Paige Denim jeans and embraced the LA sunshine. That's more like it. While shopping at Jenny Bec's, a children's furniture store in Santa Monica, the actress kept (and looked) cool in a loose black dress. To make things more interesting, she added a low-slung brown belt, a brown and black Lanvin bag, Oliver Peoples sunnies, and black sandals. Here is proof that black and brown can commingle in harmony.

On Our Radar: Banana Republic's New Look

With the help of its newly appointed creative director, Simon Kneen, Banana Republic has thrown out its buttoned up style for a cool, modern look.

With the help of its newly appointed creative director, Simon Kneen, Banana Republic has thrown out its buttoned up style for a cool, modern look. “The structure [of the clothes] was looking a bit dated,” Kneen said. “We’re trying to get things loosened up.” His debut Spring collection for the retailer is filled with sustainable fabrics and fashion-forward silhouettes — we love it all.

The collection boasts Keen's view on Banana's classic staples. Trench coats have been updated in silky fabrics while dresses stay loose and fluid. The color palette has been revamped with light hues of khaki, slate gray, ivory, and white. What a refreshing way to look at Spring. What say you?
