Diane Kruger and Karolina Kurkova Do Skirts Over Dresses - Is It Wearable?

Hannah Weil — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:27:29 PST

It's not unlike Diane Kruger to be among the first to start a fashion-forward trend. The style setter joined Karolina Kurkova to take skirts over dresses off the runways and into reality. While Karolina opted for Alexander Wang's Pre-Fall '12 look at a Jay-Z concert, Diane Kruger embraced the trend in her 10 Crosby by Derek Lam florals and stripes at the Berlin International Film Festival. Every season, we're introduced to new styling techniques and while fashion is all about experimentation, we're wondering: do you think the designers' new layering techniques translate well into real-life fashion? Would you ever do the skirt-over-dress thing?

Karolina Kurkova Slips Into Alexander Wang Pre-Fall - Love It or Leave It?

Hannah Weil — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:31:06 PST

If you caught a glimpse of Karolina Kurkova at last night's Jay-Z concert at Carnegie Hall, you might have been wondering: what exactly was she wearing? It looked like the supermodel slipped a leather skirt over her sweater dress, but upon closer inspection, we discovered that the look is actually all one piece. In fact, the dress is a piece from Alexander Wang's latest Pre-Fall 2012 collection. It's a bold style for sure - one that we're still convinced looks a little like a miniskirt pulled over a sheer and knit sweater dress - but we're letting you make the call. What do you think of Karolina's look?

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:00:36 PST

Macy's designer collaborations are still going strong and its latest team-up is sure to leave a lot of fashion girls excited. Up next to design a collection for Macy"s Impulse line is Alberta Ferretti. A favorite amongst the Hollywood red-carpet crowd - her signature designs have been worn by the likes of Eva Mendes, Camilla Belle, Lea Michele, and Drew Barrymore to name a few - Ferretti is known for her gorgeous diaphanous red-carpet-worthy gowns, and a line for Macy's sounds promising. “The collection I created is fresh and bright, featuring light summer clothing that evokes the spirit of my beautiful country and is at the same time true to my style,” said Ferretti. The 30-piece Alberta Ferretti for Macy's collection , slated to launch April 17, will include a range of feminine dresses, peasant blouses, garden party looks, and floral prints made out of chiffon and voile. Check out the slideshow to see more sketches, plus looks from her latest Spring '12 line to get you excited.

Rachel Roy Adds Footwear to Her Designer Résumé

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:34:42 PST

Rachel Roy has been keeping busy with her supercute and affordable Rachel Rachel Roy diffusion line and her gorgeous signature collection, and now, the designer has added another notch on her designer belt: shoes. The Rachel Roy shoe collection is a luxe transition from the designer's RRR footwear line: think pumps and booties - inspired by her mentor Manolo Blahnik - made in suede, calf, snake, pony hair, and glitter. Of course, such shoe decadence comes at a price; the collection is set to range within the $200 to $600 mark. “Here’s the thing about me and shoes,” said Roy. “I really feel like it’s the one item that, no matter how much you make, it is worth saving your pennies for.” We agree. Check out more pictures from the collection in the slideshow and tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Singer Beth Ditto has long been known for her avant-garde fashion sense and experimental approach to hair color and makeup, but now MAC is giving her the chance to share her creative vision with the rest of us. WWD reports that Beth's limited-edition collection is expected to hit MAC counters come June. The first image from her campaign has just been released, and if the shades on display are any indication, we're in for bold, bright colors and lots of matte textures. We're most excited about the possibility of cool nail polishes, though - Beth's pink, yellow, and black manicure above looks both cutting edge and surprisingly wearable.

Stella McCartney Is Coming Out With a New Fragrance

Jaime Richards — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:52:29 PST

"It comes from my dad's nickname for my mum: 'Linda I love you,'" explained designer Stella McCartney of her forthcoming scent, dubbed L.I.L.Y. ($25 to $100). And if that isn't enough to leave you all teary-eyed, the perfume's moniker also pays tribute to the flower lily of the valley, a favorite of Stella's mother, Linda McCartney. But there's a darker, more masculine side to the perfume, as well, with truffle extract at the top and oak moss at the base. "You can't grow moss - you can't plant it unless it wants to grow," Stella said, adding, "I find that quite sexy and sinister, to contrast with the lily of the valley."
