The eighties gave us supermodels, and they gave us Duran Duran. Fast-forward to 2011 and they’re all making headlines again. The band recruited five über-supers for a video for “Girl Panic!,” its new single off the album All You Need Is Now, released earlier this year. In the nine-minute clip directed by Jonas Akerlund (the [...]

If there’s one thing a top model knows, it’s how to work it in front of the camera—and so for its guerrilla ad campaigns, Rag & Bone has made a specialty of handing the girls the reins and getting out of the way. For the first round of the D.I.Y. Project, as Rag & Bone’s [...]

Thakoon Panchigul is the latest designer to jump on the digital bandwagon. As of today, fans of the designer’s eponymous label will be able to get their hands on the signature printed dresses with the click of a button at his new e-commerce site, Thakoon.com, designed by the fashion-favorite Web gurus at Tony King’s King [...]

On Valentine’s Day, Helena Christensen wore a lovely printed and draped Saloni dress to the Elle Style Awards in London. It was quite the nice little celebrity credit, but the best part? “I didn’t even know about it,” gushed designer Saloni Lodha (center, above), at her Fall 2011 presentation earlier this week at the Savile [...]

When Helena Christensen says go, you go—even, as it turns out, if it happens to be pouring rain. That’s how it went at the so-called “World’s Greatest Catwalk” that closed out Copenhagen fashion week on Saturday. Organizers laid down literally a mile of pink carpet in the city center, and Helena Christensen issued the sendoff [...]

Stella McCartney, as her dad once wrote, gets by with a little help from her friends—and plenty of them turned out to her Resort ‘11 presentation yesterday. Among the well-heeled admirers were (clockwise from top left) Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, Naomi Watts, and Helena Christensen, all of whom arrived in McCartney-designed duds. Each put her [...]

You might think the weekend before the Met gala would be a time for quiet evenings in. Or, at the very least, conserving one’s energy—after all, Saturday night was a mere 48 hours before tonight’s Met ball, one of the biggest parties of the year. But it seems a few of the headliners who’ll descend [...]

Runway fashion. Action sports. Strange bedfellows? Even in the age of Cynthia Rowley for Roxy, well, yes. But that doesn’t mean the twain shall never meet. Nike will announce today that it is debuting the first women’s collection from its 6.0 action sportswear line, and it’s clear from the fall pieces that the company’s had [...]

Odd Molly co-founder Per Holknekt named his handmade and organic women’s label after a skater girl he met while living in California in the eighties. So it makes sense that the Swedish label’s first U.S. store debuts in the Golden State (L.A.’s Robertson Boulevard to be exact), where it all started. Friday night’s opening soirée, [...]

“Friends and family only,” Marc Jacobs explained about his (mostly) employees-only after-party. (Well, employees, friends, and Patrick McMullan photogs. Some things are sacrosanct.) “I really wanted to focus on that, and on the collection, which I’m very proud of.” Just a few seasons ago, the Marc Jacobs front row was the celebrity magnet, and the [...]
