Battle of the Proenza Schouler: Meester vs. Bosworth

When it comes to stylish celebs in designer dresses, there's always going to be one lady who comes out on top.

When it comes to stylish celebs in designer dresses, there's always going to be one lady who comes out on top. Last night at a Nylon Magazine party in her honor, Leighton Meester rose to the occasion in a colorful frock from Proenza Schouler's Spring 2011 collection — much like the one that Kate Bosworth wore to the 27th annual Night of Stars event last October. Leighton went for a silky, sexy approach while Kate opted for the ladylike short-sleeved number. Both ladies lit up the room in Proenza's neon creations, but we're dying to know — whose look was most Fab?

Pre-Fall 2011 Trends: Want to Get Knitty With It?

Maybe it's not enough to have a sweater.

Maybe it's not enough to have a sweater. Maybe you need a sweater that makes a bold statement. Missoni, Pringle, Marni, and Proenza Schouler all got creative with their knitwear for Pre-Fall, debuting styles that are heavy on texture, pattern, and color. Will you wear these new knits or are they way too in-your-face for you?

Rocking the Ethnic Trend Can Also Help People

While cruising eco-conscious site ecouterre, I immediately shared their obsession for some bright belts handwoven by Ecuadorean artisans.

While cruising eco-conscious site ecouterre, I immediately shared their obsession for some bright belts handwoven by Ecuadorean artisans. Minutes later on the Andean Collection site, I had a shopping cart full of bold ethnic accessories, all under $100. Visions of my two favorite resort collections — Proenza and Tory Burch — danced in my head. Wrap one of these belts around a little white dress, add some bold earrings or a beaded necklace, and you'll be one exotic beauty come Spring. And with every purchase, you can feel good knowing that you've helped provide living wages to women artisans in Ecuador.

Proenza Schouler Scores First Ever Vogue Cover, Dressing Kristen Stewart for February 2011 Issue

>> Vogue is treading new cover girl territory, what with Kristen Stewart on the February 2011 cover and upcoming Vogue covers for two more first timers — Lady Gaga and Rihanna — but the Stewart cover also marks another first: Proenza Schouler's first Vogue cover.

>> Vogue is treading new cover girl territory, what with Kristen Stewart on the February 2011 cover and upcoming Vogue covers for two more first timers — Lady Gaga and Rihanna — but the Stewart cover also marks another first: Proenza Schouler's first Vogue cover. And the coup doesn't stop there — Stewart wears Proenza exclusively in the cover story, including outtakes.

Stewart first wore Proenza in November 2009, at the London Twilight Saga: New Moon premiere, but Lazaro Hernandez says that he and Jack McCollough hadn't met her physically until when they were photographed by Mario Testino together for the Vogue cover story. "She's very the girl we have in mind when we design," he added. "It's cool to see Kristen in the clothes because she's not 'the lady,' and that's exactly who we see in those clothes."
