Have. Want. Need.
I remember it like it was yesterday — when Dolce & Gabbana's Spring '10 models stampeded down the catwalk, I was mesmerized. One model is great, but a herd of them? Stunning. Likewise, at the TCN show at Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week yesterday, another stampede took place (top left), albeit much more modest than Dolce & Gabbana's. It might not have been as powerful in number, but it still Read more
Kate Moss is one of the shortest famous models at 5'6 1/2. Really only Devon Aoki is shorter at 5'5. Still, her uniquely gorgeous face and waif body put her on countless catwalks in the '90s. These days, we get no shortage of Kate in ad campaigns, but I've missed her dearly on the runway. Here, she struts her stuff on the runways of Anna Sui, Bella Freud, and Versace to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir." Read more
We first saw it on ANTM and here we go again: supermodel slip n' slide. That's gotta hurt... Read more
The feathers were most definitely flying on the runways for Spring, and designers made it abundantly clear that a little touch of plumage can go a long way. At Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs showed an innocent young debutante, flitting about in frothy feather-trim dresses and candy-colored pencil skirts, while Ralph Lauren's runway spotlighted full-blown Great Gatsby-era opulence, giving way to Read more
From slightly transparent to fully sheer, Springs runways were rife with barely there bottoms (just see the varying looks above from Vera Wang, Rachel Zoe, and Badgley Mischka). Let's be real: it's not the easiest trend to pull off — but with the right top, shoes, and self-confidence level, there are definitely ways to make this look work for the everyday. Whether you try skintight lace, like Read more
Each season it seems as though there's a new take on sheer styles, and for Spring 2012, your usual see-through pieces have that extra something special: a modern mix between full-on mesh and classic cutouts. The laser-cut look is huge this year, and we spotted perforated details on many a Spring runway. From shoes to bags, dresses to shorts, designers offered up lightweight, breathable pieces, Read more
It looks like we'll be traveling under the sea for Spring 2012 — if the runways at Versace, Chanel, Jenny Packham, and Givenchy were any indication, the deep-sea fantasies from your childhood have been given a sexy, grown-up spin, and the results are pure magic. The trend isn't overdone with obvious fishtail hems or ripples of blue, but rather with clean, subtle nods to the ebbs and flows of Read more
If you're taking Spring's affinity for all things ladylike to heart, then surely you've taken stock of the season's most shoppable ultrafeminine silhouettes. From dainty collar details to full-skirted dresses, it's all about indulging our girlier side. To keep this trend fresh and just a little bit funky, we've honed in on the form-flattering pencil skirt — scouting out the prettiest, and some Read more
Bows are no longer just for the frill-seekers. The Spring 2012 runways — namely Miu Miu, Valentino, Viktor & Rolf, and Carven — have proven that these sweetly twisted knots are the perfect flirty accent for any serious style-setter. To this point, it's less about the overtly girlie Little Bo Peep fluff and more about the subtle ways in which we can show off a romantic detail without going Read more
Let's discuss one of the oldest fashion rules in the book: don't wear black and navy together, or you shall be shunned from the style community and left in the middle of Lincoln Center to be publicly humiliated (we made that last part up, but you see where we're going here). The oft-ridiculed pairing was pulled off on Spring runways from Lanvin, Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney, and more and Read more
