Flying the friendly skies lost most of its glamour around the time of shoe scanning, but that doesn’t make it acceptable to turn up in a sweatsuit and trainers—especially if you’re angling for an upgrade. Take a cue from Charlize Theron, who managed to look polished after a half-day journey from LAX to Charles de [...]

With the Golden Globes and the SAGs down—and their red-carpet fashions suitably assessed here and here—and the Couture shows, from where many of the awards season’s dresses are plucked, now under way, the tea-leaf reading, rune consulting, and general oracle beseeching for who’ll wear what to the 2010 Academy Awards can begin. Attempting clairvoyance is [...]

So much for couture’s supposed stiff upper lip. We usually expect the drama to attend the ready-to-wear collections rather than couture—especially this season, with Christian Lacroix off the schedule—but a note circulating from Mr. Giorgio Armani himself seems to indicate otherwise. His presentation next Monday is being moved from 7:30 to 9 p.m. due to [...]

With the holidays upon us, you’re probably looking forward to wrapping up in a cashmere blanket and settling down for a long winter’s nap. Don’t get too comfy. The Spring collections will be arriving in stores a few weeks after New Year’s, and the season’s must-have coats will go fast. In 2010, you’re going to [...]

Exposed lingerie and similar peekaboo pieces were everywhere in the Spring 2010 collections (at Marc Jacobs, and Giambattista Valli, and Christian Dior, just to name a few), but I found myself wondering how I could translate the runway trend into my everyday wardrobe—and remain, as they say, SFW. Luckily, the new brand Sinclaire10 has come [...]

David Lynch is rumored to be directing the latest installment of Christian Dior’s Lady Dior mini movies, starring Marion Cotillard and, bien sûr, a handbag. Galliano plus Lynch? If a commercial could be nominated for an Oscar, this would be on our list. [WWD]
For old flames, Jude Law and Sienna Miller are spending an awful [...]

Whatever would Christian Dior make of Spring’s festive attire? The couturier’s advice on cocktail dresses, recorded in his The Little Dictionary of Fashion in 1954, was to “choose a dark color, preferably black if it suits you.” While there was no dearth of little black dresses this season, the most mouthwatering additions to the drinks [...]

More info on John Galliano’s Dior Christmas tree for Claridge’s has surfaced since we first reported on it , and it sounds as awesome as we expected. In lieu of pine needles there will be “crystals, orchids, vines, and lianas,” as well as a leopard, which we’re pretty sure will be fake, but really, we [...]

It’s approximately two weeks until Black Friday. Take a breath. There’s still time to consider the thoughtful gift, like a beautiful piece of vintage costume jewelry. Needless to say, that venture involves more effort than others, but according to jewelry collector and historian Deanna Farneti Cera, it’s entirely worth it. “It’s not something you can [...]

Who says there’s no culture in the O.C.? Mega (and mega-luxe) shopping center South Coast Plaza has teamed up with Christian Dior to present the U.S. premiere of a capsule exhibition that features Chinese artist and photographer Quentin Shih’s provocative photos—the first time his work will be seen in the United States. The 20 original [...]
