Yea, Nay, Or Eh: A Woman In (Urban Warrior) Uniform
Having lived in New York City for over a decade, we completely understand the need to feel somewhat armored when hitting the street. (We often liken our sunglasses to the Manhattan version of the car window. Both are just glass, but they serve as an extremely effective barrier all the same.) And so we’ve been [...]
Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Gwen Stefani, Just A Girl In The Fashion World
Should we add Gwen Stefani to the mile-long list of Ann Demeulemeester fans? The singer, who is currently on tour with No Doubt, sported this chic update to her signature look while performing earlier this week in L.A. The graphic white and black palette, asymmetric jacket, and menswear silhouette nod to Demeulemeester’s recent collections, and [...]
The Skinny On Legs
Make of this information what you will: I was recently informed by the publicists for both Acne and Ksubi that the denim makers will be introducing their “skinniest jeans ever” for fall. (Same wording, both times.) Given that neither Acne nor Ksubi has ever been known for the roominess of their fits, this bit of [...]
Tonight’s Other Party Of The Year
There will be divas. Based on real-time accounts of Dolce & Gabbana’s bosom-heaving front row this afternoon in Milan—Scarlett! Eva! Freida! Kate!—their Extreme Beauty in Vogue party tonight will be chockablock with bellissima. [The Moment]

Clad in an A.L.C. jacket, Stefani added praise for Lieberman’s [...]
Recessionista: A Stephen Jones-Inspired Paper Hat
What: A paper hat from the newspaper of your choice, made by you.
Why: The Guardian has an interview with master hatmaker Stephen Jones today, who, besides providing headgear for Rei Kawakubo and John Galliano, has outfitted plenty a posh head in his day—Gwen Stefani, Beyoncé Knowles, Dita Von Teese, etc. The accompanying DIY video got [...]
Andrea Lieberman Wants To Make Your Favorite Things
Once upon a time, stylists were the covert agents of the fashion industry. Only those with top-level fashion clearance—designers, editors, photographers, celebrities—knew of their existence. As far as the rest were concerned, the intelligence they passed on about how clothes ought to be worn simply emerged magically out of the zeitgeist. In the past few [...]
charlize reveals the awful truth
Charlize Theron blows the cover on The Hills and proclaims the show to be “about nothing.” Her statement is met by stunned silence, tears, riots.
Want to do something special for Thanksgiving this year? Get your neck tattooed. It’s totally in right now, and Grandma will love it. That’s what we call a win-win.
Tokyo—the [...]
