Shop the MADE For Macy's Impulse Collection

MADE is sort of like the CFDA. The company sponsors fashion designers and helps produce runway shows — but instead of championing household names who show at Lincoln Center, it works mostly with up-and-coming labels at Milk Studios, the Fashion Week venue for smaller productions. It's the downtown answer to the CFDA, in a sense, and not just because Milk is literally downtown. MADE tends to work with more avant-garde brands. It's more subversive.

Now, though, the MADE team have become designers — not just behind-the-scenes characters — thanks to their inaugural collection for Macy's Impulse. It seems like the fashion industry insiders basically created what they'd want to wear with bedhead and messy eyeliner to the latest underground bar, and it's predictably cool: leather skirts, bomber jackets, track pants. The 24 pieces have the sort of swagger we'd expect from the Alexander-Wang-wearing employees we see around Milk throughout Fashion Week — at a fraction of designer prices.

Last night, we stopped by Opening Ceremony's New York flagship for the launch of Rihanna's capsule collection for UK retailer River Island — which just debuted at London Fashion Week, making it quite literally "phresh out the runway," to quote the singer. In addition to early access to the line, guests were treated to a preview of the store's RIHtrospective — a carefully-curated display of seven of RiRi's most iconic stage and red carpet looks, all handpicked by the songstress herself with help from her stylist, Mel Ottenberg.

When it comes to downtown-approved, accessibly-priced offerings for all seasons, Nasty Gal's always had our back—and now, the e-tailer's taking on the beach. Inspired by '90s surf gear, Sophia Amoruso's store's Spring 2013 lookbook introduces something entirely new into the Nasty Gal mix: swimwear. Styled alongside neoprene moto jackets and flare-skirted, zip-front scuba dresses, the images feature the brand's all-new cutout maillots, while this morning's press release promises will "elicit out-of-the-ordinary tan lines." We can't wait to take 'em for a spin come summer.

Click over to Lucky to peep Nasty Gal's Spring 2013 lookbook, pieces from which are now available to purchase at Nastygal.com.

Five Rose Gold-Accented Pieces For Low-Key Glamour

As obsessed as I am with all things sparkly, I’m ready to retire the glitz (now that it's post-holiday season)—but not without losing the glamour. Maybe that’s why I’ve been favoring gold’s slightly-less-dazzling-but-just-as-alluring sister: rose gold. Accent your outfit with just a hint of the pink-toned metal for an elegant look that isn’t too flashy.

Rihanna's River Island Collection Will Be 'Sassy,' Inspired by London's Cool Kids

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story from our friends at Lucky!

We can't wait to see Rihanna's designs for UK High Street label River Island come down the runway at next month's London Fashion Week. To tease the forthcoming collab, Vogue UK posted the clip below, in which the Barbadian songstress attends model fittings and examines collection sketches with her co-designer Adam Selman.

The most interesting takeaway from the video? It seems Rihanna's range was largely inspired by the personal style of normal London teens. "The high-end designers are inspired by these kids," she explains. "They say what's cool, the high-end designers go and design it, and I feel like . . . why not go to the source? To be ahead of the trend, and have something inspirational and new and fresh?" Incidentally, the kids in question are exactly who we predict will go crazy for Riri's River Island looks first. Along with us, of course.

The Four Things You Should Buy Vintage

Silk Tops
Brand-new silk shirts are fantastic—except when the cost eats up your entire month’s clothing budget. Vintage silk tops that are still in good condition can be hard to find in thrift stores, but did you know there are tons on Etsy? Yep. Brown Bag Vintage has great pieces, and—bonus—the owner actually works for Etsy, so you know you can trust the quality.

Shop the Show: The Carrie Diaries Premiere

Curiosity about Carrie Bradshaw's family — only vaguely referenced in HBO's Sex and the City—didn't make me watch the premiere of The Carrie Diaries, the CW's much-anticipated SATC prequel, last night. Neither did any interest in her pre-Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte crew, or non-Mr. Big boyfriends. Still, I made the effort to close my MacBook, stash my iPhone and pay close attention for one extremely important reason: the fashion. Nay, the fashion as interpreted by Eric Daman, the show's costume designer.

Kate Middleton vs. Kim Kardashian: Whose Wardrobe Wins?

When Kate Middleton accepted Prince William's proposal in 2010, she was probably prepared for the media storm that followed—one does not marry royalty without anticipating some interviews. Her instant fashion icon status, though—solidified by the infamous sapphire blue dress she wore to announce the big news—might have been a bigger surprise.

While the Duchess always chooses ensembles that are polished and flattering, her picks are hardly those of a woman seeking attention. The bulk of her outfits are comprised of sold-out items she's worn on multiple occasions, making it very hard for brands to capitalize on her influence. Also, according to one of Kate's favorite designers, Roland Mouret, those who admire her style don't necessarily want to copy it.

"You don't see hundreds of women running around looking like her," he was cited as saying in the Telegraph. "To be honest, we're more likely to get orders on a dress that Kim Kardashian's worn."

Wait . . . what? Reality star Kim K. has more advertising clout than an actual royal?

Journey Into the Woods With Burberry (and Cara Delevingne)

From Arizona Muse's hot air balloon ride for Louis Vuitton to Coach's stop-motion Winter wonderland short, it's tough to find a fashion film we don't adore. But Burberry's latest clip, set in a mystical forest and showcasing the British heritage brand's Fall 2012 collection, somehow manages to combine a handful of our absolute favorite things: woodland creatures, Cara Delevingne and Marina and the Diamonds (Marina's "Numb" serves as the mini-flick's soundtrack). Oh, and hot air balloons make an appearance in this one, too.

Check out the video below, in which models clad in Burberry coats turn the forest floor into a makeshift runway—before disappearing into dramatic little bursts of golden leaves. It's pretty cool.

Alexa Chung Wants to Maje You Up

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips.

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story from our friends at Lucky!

Grammatically speaking, "maje" is both a noun and an adjective. There's "Maje," the French label and "maje," a shortened version of "major," used to describe something especially so. The two can even be used together, like: "That cobalt jacquard Maje coat is so MAJE!"

But the maje wordplay involving Maje doesn't stop there — the brand just coined the term "majed." Which, if we understand the video below, means to get styled by Alexa Chung, the very maje face of Maje, in NYC with maje Maje clothes. Confused yet? Watch the following clip, it'll all make sense.
