The tomboy trend continues apace for Spring. You saw it in the plethora of pantsuits, and it surfaced in some of the active sports references to linebackers and latter-day Jacques Cousteaus. But the crisp white men’s shirt will always be the easiest (and, for us, coolest) way to get the look. Giambattista Valli topped a [...]

Cintra Wilson on Tom Binns’ new West Village store: “[He] proves he has no problem dredging all the desirable filth out of the ’80s and adding a bit of his own.” Yes, this is a compliment. [NYT]
Milla Jovovich is Tommy Hilfiger’s newest hire. The newlywed designer/actress/model has been tasked with creating the next limited-edition Breast [...]

Who made our Top Ten list for Spring? Designers with a point of view: Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga, who went back to his haute street roots. Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, who made fashion fun again, and sent out some fabulously crafty clothes in the process. Celine’s Phoebe Philo, for her fearless new brand of contemporary [...]

Is it just us, or is Miranda Kerr dispensing with her sweet bombshell look in favor of experimenting with a somewhat edgier wardrobe? Kerr may have taken just one turn on the Balenciaga runway, but perhaps that’s all it takes to shift a sensibility. At any rate, the bouncy curls have been slicked down, and [...]

It’s an interesting question to ponder: What happens to Paris’ fashion week hot spots when, er, it’s not fashion week? Well, as someone explained to me last night, they lose a little panache. According to one Frenchie, last week Le Baron, one of the most frequented stops on the fashion week circuit, was making popcorn [...]

Who doesn’t love a bit of a casting surprise to add yet another layer of excitement to a show? If yesterday at Balenciaga is any evidence, tossing a bodacious Victoria’s Secret girl into the lean and edgy model mix is on its way to becoming a thing. I had heard through the tweet-vine that Miranda [...]

“The East Village doesn’t need another vintage store,” says Marco Querci, who tonight opens new boutique Change of Season. Instead, Querci and his partner Clinton Curtis created a whole new retail beast: the curated outlet. As anyone who’s spent a draining day at Woodbury Commons can attest, [...]

Kate Beckinsale, Brigette Romanek, and Elizabeth Stewart hosted an evening of shopping at Balenciaga in West Hollywood on Thursday night. The private cocktail reception featured three cheese tarts and mini chocolate caramel treats, but the sweetest part was that a portion of the evening’s proceeds went to P.S. Arts. “I just love what [designer Nicolas [...]

Get yourself some Marilyn Minter. Madonna loves her, MAC loves her, and now, of course, she comes on a handbag. [WWD]
Speaking of Madonna, if you didn’t make it into the PSA for Fashion’s Night Out, you could have been in Madge’s new video. If you were in Milan, that is. See all the Material Girl [...]

The New York-based artist Terence Koh’s passion for fashion has been well documented. (I can still remember when everyone asked who would wear those Balenciaga robot leggings a few seasons ago; the answer was Beyoncé. And Terence Koh.) But this weekend in East Hampton, Koh managed to mix that passion with his other one: his [...]
