As you may have heard, Style.com is celebrating a big birthday this week. We’re not afraid to show our age—we’re 10 and proud! (Oh, the things we’ve seen—and rounded up for our decade-in-review anniversary feature!)It may be our birthday, but we’re giving you the present. We’ve teamed up with ten amazing designers and labels to [...]

When Balmain and Oliver Peoples teamed up to produce the label’s eyewear earlier this year, Balmaniacs were understandably enthused. We expect no less from the collaboration’s second model, the Balmain II. The modified aviator style has a sleek, continuous frame running across the top for a futuristic fighter-pilot look—think Top Gun circa 2050. And even [...]

Tom Ford is reportedly building his women’s team by poaching top designers from Alexander McQueen and Givenchy. Hard to blame him. We’ve always said the guy had good taste. [WWD]Speaking of good taste, speculation is running rampant that Victoria Beckham “borrowed” the design for her column gown from fellow English designer Osman Yousefzada. Reached for [...]

The inconvenient truth of fashion weeks this season? Chalk it up to whatever you will, but Mother Nature has not been on the side of style or stilettos. Snow drifts in New York, rain in London, gale-force winds in Milan—it’s enough to make you consider a night in. (Just kidding!) But knowing full well there [...]

For the fashion set, the opening of a Balmain envelope is a fanatically followed event. (Even the house’s “small” store party in Paris earlier this week turned into a full-fledged throng.) So you can imagine the fervor that’ll no doubt accompany the label’s new sunglasses, made in collaboration with Oliver Peoples. Creative director Christophe Decarnin [...]

Balmainia is no laughing matter. Last night, the fashion house had planned to host a simple little cocktail party to celebrate the refurbishment of their store on the rue François—but by the time word of the fête reached me, the whole thing had blown into a full-on fashion gala. A few hours before the party, [...]

The lull is almost over, party animals. Mid-January can feel like a bit of a social hiccup—men’s shows aside, there are always a sleepy few weeks between the mayhem of the holiday and the revving up of spring—but that will come to a definite end on Monday when the haute couture shows in Paris begin. [...]

We’ve documented the U.S. invasion, but Alice mania has now taken Europe, too. Paris’ Printemps is dedicating its windows to Wonderlandiana from February 1 to March 13, with special dresses designed for the occasion by Haider Ackermann, Christopher Kane, Alexander McQueen, and Maison Martin Margiela, and special shoes from Nicholas Kirkwood (pictured).

As you ring in the new year, chances are you’ll have sequins on the brain. So do designers—and not just for the big night. The Spring ‘10 runways were positively gleaming. And while a shiny, strapless Isaac Mizrahi jumpsuit or a body-con mesh Pucci dress with sequin panels will require the right occasion, other looks [...]

With the announcement of the Golden Globe nominations this morning, awards season has officially begun. And while many are furiously debating who’ll make it up to the Beverly Hilton hotel stage to collect their statuette, we’re more concerned with the action outside—the red carpet. What are this year’s crop of nominees going to wear?
Nine’s Marion [...]
