Rag & Bone Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:13:07 PST

Rag & Bone's Fall runway show took place on a chilly evening at Pier 57, but everyone seemed to forget the brisk draft once David Neville and Marcus Wainwright started the show. "Think about a country house and all the things you might find in it," said Wainwright when describing the collection. Layering was key in the duo's vision; ikat printed dresses, wool jodhpurs, tapestry floral suiting, fur vests, and blanket striped wraps were smartly piled on top of one another, creating a luxe, textured feel without going overboard. Meanwhile, sharp tailored coats, blazers, precision-cut suit sets, and a continuous theme of leather touches tempered the varied mix, injecting a sharp, modern feel across the board. For accessories, Neville and Wainwright created more covetable must haves, supplying die-hard fans with a lineup of lace-up boots and stacked platform loafers. The closer? House of Pain's "Jump Around," which pretty much sums up the evening's exciting showing.

Trends: Blanket stripes, asymmetric wrap skirts, jodhpurs, suiting.
Colors: Copper, gray, blue, burgundy, black, red.
Key Piece: The multicolored blanket striped blazers and wraps sit high on our lust list.
Accessories: Lace-up and tweed ankle boots, stacked platform loafers, leather gloves, classic brown leather belts, satchel bags.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave texture and modernity like Taylor Tomasi Hill and Hanneli Mustaparta.

Inspired by a recent trip to India, Rag & Bone designers David Neville and Marcus Wainwright cited the influence of British culture in Asian places as the basis for their Fall 2012 collection.

Hannah Weil — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:39:40 PST

The latest from the Upper East Side set is Blair's most glamorous since the royal Vera Wang wedding gown. We spotted Blair hitting the Gossip Girl set (and locking lips with Lonely Boy - gasp!) in a dreamy pink-princess confection from Oscar de la Renta's Resort 2012. Since half the fun of the Upper East Side drama is what everyone is wearing, we're delving into season five's best looks. Some, like Blair's latest may be more fantasy than shopping reality, but in every episode there's also a chance to get our hands on something Serena, Blair, or the rest of the show's stylish ensemble has worn. From Mulberry to Marc Jacobs, Rag & Bone, and Louis Vuitton - and thanks to Eric Daman's brilliant styling - every episode unfolds with a cast of enviable designer goodies. Now they might actually be yours - just click through for the amazing Gossip Girl style moments, and if you're tempted, shop away!

Rag & Bone Spring 2012

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:43:55 PDT

What happens when your favorite surfer girl gets dressed for work? The answer seems to lie in Rag & Bone's Spring 2012 collection. Models strode the runway - to a custom Thom Yorke soundtrack, no less - in layers that mixed sporty elements with Rag & Bone's signature tailoring. That meant long ponchos layered over sleek trousers, and the perfect blazer over a crocheted cropped tank and techy-fabric skirt. By now, it's clear that the sporty trend is one of the most dominant to emerge at Fashion Week, and we like the fresh, edgy approach designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville took here.

Trends: Sporty, surf chic, ponchos, crochet, asymmetry.
Colors: Citrus, turquoise, cobalt, canary yellow, white.
Key Piece: The tailored blazers; silk printed pants, long sporty ponchos.
Accessories: Surfer and sport-inspired sandals, a crocheted knit bag.
Who Would Wear It: The ultimate cool girl who loves to mix sporty elements into tailored looks - like front-rower Malin Akerman or Alexa Chung.

Nude Lips (and Missing Pants) at Rag & Bone

Annie Tomlin — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:22:47 PDT

As is the case every season, Revlon Global Artistic Director Gucci Westman created a makeup look for Rag & Bone. It's a show dear to her heart, since she's not just a makeup maestro, but is also married to the line's codesigner David Neville. Backstage, she said that she initially toyed with doing a strong lip look for the Spring 2012 show, but ultimately went with a nearly nude lipstick instead. "I just wanted it to be super easy," she said, adding that the neutral makeup palette didn't compete with the clothes. (Get the look with Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks in Demure and Silver City Pink.) And it's clear that Westman is a fan of the collection. She confessed to falling in love with a pair of Rag & Bone trousers, then taking them home - and unbeknownst to her, they happened to be destined for the runway. "David called me in a panic yesterday," she admitted. "Busted! How embarrassing is that?" In the end, all was well: pants were returned, the models looked fresh, and Rag & Bone looks destined to continue its string of enthusiastically received collections.

How to Wear Your Summer Whites Right Into Fall

Hannah Weil — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 06:14:22 PDT

Our Summer days are spent almost exclusively in breezy lighter fabrics - and lots and lots of white. We used to wait anxiously to throw our Summer-exclusive whites on right at Memorial Day and make the most of all our favorite pieces before September. Of course, rules like that don't really apply anymore - who says you can't rock white jeans after Labor Day? We're firm believers that they look chic all year round, almost doubly chic layered up with the right pieces. In fact, there's a place for all your white staples long after the dog days of Summer are over. If you've ever doubted your LWD's autumn potential, or how you might style your creamy white maxi up for colder weather - click through to see and shop our styling solutions.
