Ready or not, New York fashion week is here. Today, Style.com’s Marina Larroude shared a few of her front row-worthy clothing picks for the week, from the Prada Saffiano leather car clutch to black and red suede Celine platforms—all pieces likely to catch a second look from Tommy Ton. Here, find out what the Style.com [...]

The new It bag you’ll be seeing in the front rows next month is a super-slim, stretched-out version of the Celine clutch you’ve been coveting for a couple of seasons now. Ms. Minimalism herself, Phoebe Philo, showed them at her pre-fall collection, as did other designers like Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci and Peter Dundas at Emilio [...]

We first spotted Kati Nescher treading the boards at the Spring ‘12 shows, walking for labels like Marni (where she opened and closed), YSL, Celine, and Stella McCartney and eventually earning her place among our Top Ten Models of the season. Though she’s older than most of her catwalk compatriots (at 27) and, like fellow [...]

Remember Melanie Griffith’s famous quote from Working Girl—”I have a head for business and a bod for sin”? We’re not sure the actress wore a pleated leather skirt in that classic eighties flick, but every time we see one on the runway, that’s the line that goes through our mind. One part lady, another part [...]

Couture-inspired silhouettes popped up in droves on the Spring runways, so it makes sense that peplums are having a moment.

Noticed in Paris: Throughout fashion month, clutches have reigned as the It accessory for showgoers, but in Paris, Style.com noticed tastemakers like Emmanuelle Alt, Géraldine Saglio, and Samira Nasr trading their clutches and their trusty Celine totes for the LV Sofia Coppola leather top handle. Could this be the new editor go-to bag?Above: Louis Vuitton [...]

The turtleneck is often reserved for the ski slopes and blustery, cold winter days. This season, however, the functional essential got a fashionable update and multiple designers layered them under jackets and dresses. At Celine and Bottega Veneta’s Fall ‘11 shows, basic, fitted white turtlenecks looked sleek under tailored coats. Altuzarra and Givenchy took a [...]

Hawaiian prints are riding one gnarly wave—see the Resort 2012 collections of Givenchy, Stella McCartney, and Celine, for starters. And it’s an equal-opportunity trend by the looks of Miuccia Prada’s Spring menswear show, with its kitschy sixties florals. The latest brand to sip the Kool-Aid (make that an Island Punch): Opening Ceremony. The New York-based [...]

Angelina Jolie has gone bare for her Louis Vuitton “Core Values” campaign. Annie Leibovitz photographed Jolie in her own clothes (with a monogrammed Alto resting by her side—one that, by the way, is no longer in production), on a wooden boat in Cambodia. [WWD]A swing bang humdinger—that’s the kind of bash Karen Elson and Jack [...]
