Viktor & Rolf are releasing a capsule collection of five white shirts as a follow-up to their little black dress series.
Sonia Rykiel will show resort this week in New York along with a new mini collection of basics. This is the first time the brand has presented in the U.S.
Agyness Deyn's online magazine, Naag, launched over the weekend.
Before they were stars: fashion industry edition.
>> Viktor & Rolf In Talks for Another Mainstream Collaboration? — Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren collaborated with H&M for a collection which debuted back in Fall 2006, but it sounds like they may be working with a mass retailer again soon. Investor Edo Jao Tweeted over the weekend: "Viktor&Rolf is 1 of the most interesting labels to acquire stake in currently. Esp if talks of a mainstream collab go thru- *wink*." [@edojao]
We talk to January Jones's makeup artist to learn her secrets to creating a modern smoky eye using a gunmetal gray color palette. Drawing from an edgy blend of David Bowie, Blade Runner, and the futuristic trends seen on the Spring 2010 runways, check out our video to hear her insider tips on how she helped January Jones get this look for her big night out!
Viktor & Rolf are masters of illusion. Did you check out their Spring '10 collection? It played major mind games, hence why I praise it. Model of the moment Magdalena Frackowiak was lucky enough to play dress-up with the cheeky dresses for Dazed & Confused's February issue, while photog John Olins snapped her up. I especially love this gown with the large hole — mouse got your dress?
Apphia Michael—a personal assistant and office manager at Wallpaper magazine—arrived at the Wallpaper-sponsored Design Awards in London last night wearing one of the hacked-up topiary dresses from Viktor & Rolf's spring 2010 runway. This isn't the first time an oversized dress from the same collection has hit the red carpet. (Katy Perry braved the MTV Europe Music Awards this year in a slightly less-cumbersome dress from the same season.)
Because it's not easy to attend events in a dress that could knock over your date with one wrong sudden turn, we say kudos to this sartorially adventurous PA.

Flowerbomb, Viktor & Rolf's first fragrance, has been a cult hit since it came out a few years ago. But this week, the brand quietly released its second scent, Eau Mega. Just so you all know how dedicated I am to good-smellin' stuff, I trekked all the way down to Nordstrom during lunch to sniff it, since only a few locations have the fragrance so far. Luckily, the reconnaissance on this baby is good.
V&R didn't play it safe at all, and Eau is totally different from the F-bomb, though just as playful. The atomizer is also too cute to be believed, and well worth playing with (you spray it by squeezing the big gold V&R seal on the side). To find out whether the juice smells as awesome as the bottle looks, just keep reading.
With Cruise '10 in full effect, let's stop and evaluate the latest. Frocks and skirts dominated, but what really caught my eye were clean, lean trousers — quite the opposite of crazy harem pants. Instead, trousers ranged from cropped and loose-fitting to tight and body-con. All polished, all pretty. Each style had its own appeal; I can see myself rockin' these silky Roksanda Ilincic trousers to a rooftop party and these Rebecca Taylor pants for a lazy bike ride. Want to see the cream of the crop?
You could say it became a trend by way of DKNY's sneaker pumps (above) and perhaps Ann Demeulemeester's lace-up wedges. Now that spring footwear is hitting shelves it seems there are plenty of lace-up sneaker heights to choose from. This trend might be loathed by some and loved by others but, regardless, we're just happy that there's some padding in this season's sky-high numbers. A few strips of PVC and a wooden five-inch platform shouldn't be our only option for fabulous super-tall footwear.
