The unstoppable Victoria Beckham is at it again in yet another smokin' hot ensemble. Not only is she donning an on-trend Winter wide brim, peep her luscious leather trench. It's the crème de la crème of outerwear. She'll have no problem crushing the bone-chilling temperatures and gusty winds in this leather baby. Yes, such buttery soft goodness is pricey, but think of it as a lifetime Read more
Some things stand the test of seasons and trends — the trench coat is one such piece. Every season, this classic resurfaces with updates, crafted in new fits, hues, and shapes.

This Spring we're seeing soft leather versions, edgier moto-silhouettes, and an utterly feminine twist on the Read more
Loads of leather covered the runway at Valentino for Fall 2012, including everything from an amazing leather toggle coat to a dramatic full-length trench.

In true Jean Paul Gaultier fashion, Fall 2012 is a rocker chick's dream. Steeped in streetwear influences and a cult punk band vibe, the designer certainly had the underground on his mind. So much so, that everything from woven jacquard trousers to satin-sheen cocktail frocks were embellished with retro bright '80s-style graffiti prints. But don't let the urban-inspired designs fool you. Gaultier Read more
Strength and seduction ruled Ferragamo's Fall 2012 collection, both in its tailoring and sensuous color palette, and we have creative director Massimiliano Giornetti's fascination with Czarist Russia to credit.

Tommy Hilfiger set the mood for his collection this evening at the Park Avenue Armory creating an Autumnal park paradise complete with wooden benches, pretty Fall trees, The Beatles playing in the backdrop, and even gravel to sink our booties into.

An architectural aesthetic, specifically Bauhaus style, rules for BCBG's Fall 2012 collection.

The geometric shapes created by bold color combos — black and orange, merlot and blush — were intensified with textural plays Read more

Trench coats: they're cool and classic and lend a polished vibe to your look — no matter what you happen to be wearing underneath. The sleek silhouette calls to mind fashion icons like Jackie O., Katharine Hepburn, or Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (who can forget her trench coat flapping in the breeze?).
