New York is triumphant, Gisele disappointed: The Giants walked away with a new Super Bowl ring last night. But for the legions of fashion fans tuning in last night, it was the halftime show that was the main event. Madonna delivered a rousing (if potentially lip-synched) performance that incorporated plenty of old hits, including “Vogue,” [...]

Stella McCartney was one of the Meatpacking District’s early designer supporters, but her reign in the hood has come to an end. Today, McCartney opens her new, 5,200-square-foot, two-level Soho shop on Greene Street, where she’ll offer her main line collection as well as kids’ wear and her Adidas range. (In honor of the opening, [...]

In his 2011 street-style awards, Tommy Ton dubbed the sneaker the “Most Surprising Trend” of the year. Now, I’m not ready to give up my stilettos and my sky-high wedges altogether, but I can’t think of a better time of year (as 2012 fitness goals start to come to mind) to invest in a chic [...]

It’s been ten years since Yohji Yamamoto first collaborated with Adidas, a collaboration which eventually became the full Y-3 collection. On the last night of men’s fashion week in Paris, Adidas set out to celebrate the decennial at the city’s Maison des Métallos, where sneakers from throughout the partnership’s history were on display and a [...]

LACMA called upon the Mulleavy sisters of Rodarte to contribute drawings inspired by works in its permanent collection to a new exhibition, Cell Phone Stories. (There’s one pictured, left.) Also contributing: Rainn Wilson, a.k.a. Dwight from The Office. We feel confident that this will be the last time we speak of a collaboration between Rodarte [...]

Don’t look for Givenchy on the couture calendar this July—Riccardo Tisci will show his Couture collection for the house (shaved down to ten looks to accommodate customization) by private appointment. Apparently, the most devoted couture clients, royals that they are, couldn’t attend the shows for security reasons, anyway. Yeah, we know how that story goes. [...]

Forget the approaching World Cup for a second, if you can. Sure, that’s when you’ll see the best players in the world go head to head on the field in South Africa, battling for international glory (and against U.S. indifference). But before then, you can see the best and brightest—maybe—of New York play Adidas’ annual [...]

With the World Cup fast approaching, there’s been a veritable scrimmage of fashion labels racing to cash in on soccer mania. Not Y-3, which has been feeling footer since the beginning—but that doesn’t mean it’s immune to a little timely expansion. The Yohji Yamamoto-designed, Adidas-produced label recently opened its doors in Hong Kong, inaugurating a [...]

The last time we saw Jeremy Scott he was channeling Tony the Tiger—or rather, wearing one of Tony’s more ferocious-looking cousins—in a tracksuit, so we weren’t that surprised to catch him in spots at last night’s Y-3 retail space at the Adidas Brand Center. Scott, whose not-yet-for-sale gold-winged kicks for Adidas are already cult faves, [...]

Is Adidas stepping in to save fashion week? The sportswear behemoth is launching SLVR, a new line—with its own Soho storefront to boot—during the New York collections. Unlike its collaborations with Yohji Yamamoto and Stella McCartney, the latest effort comes without a famous designer. Expect streamlined basics in bold colors, priced well below Y-3. But [...]
