Alexa Chung was the face of Superga’s Spring campaign last year, and she has taken up the role once more this season. Guy Aroch photographed Chung, who styled the shoot under the brand’s easy instructions: “Go create.” [Telegraph]Amy Winehouse’s dad, Mitch Winehouse, has spoken out against Jean Paul Gaultier’s latest Couture show, calling it “in [...]

A cold front is finally supposed to hit New York this weekend, and bare legs simply won’t fly for those of us who don’t employ a personal driver. Opaque tights are already a staple in most women’s winter wardrobes, but lately, designers and tastemakers have been experimenting with hose that go above and beyond basic [...]

Normally, it’s the rest of Coco Rocha that’s the moneymaker, but last night the model relied on her feet. Rocha closed out the program at ArtWalk, the annual fundraiser for Coalition for the Homeless, and having promised to do some Irish dancing if bidders pledged an additional $35,000 to the cause, ended up removing her [...]

Opening Ceremony spent the past year immersed in French culture, working with labels like Jean Paul Gaultier, Agnès B., and Repetto (in between eating Ladurée macarons and celebrating Bastille Day with the French heritage label Saint James). This week, O.C.’s Humberto Leon and Carol Lim announced that it’s time to continue globetrotting, and they have [...]

The past few days in New York have been so hot, we’ve finally stopped complaining about working in an office with its AC set to “Siberia.” Every time we do venture outside, visions of last week’s couture shows and the resurgence of old-fashioned folding hand fans we witnessed there come to mind: Hilary Alexander churning [...]

LVMH has tapped the cool kids behind Opening Ceremony, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, to be the new creative directors of Kenzo. Odds are better than even Chloë Sevigny could be the face of the brand’s ad campaign. The OC collaborator is a fan of Kenzo Takada’s early designs. [WWD]Jean Paul Gaultier is getting his [...]

Maybe it’s his recent retrospective, but Jean Paul Gaultier is in a backward-looking mood. For his Fall ‘11 Couture show, Gaultier stocked his cast with a few favorites from days gone by. Men and women both stalked the Couture runway (including Jon Kortajarena, the face of JPG’s new men’s fragrance, Kokorico), but it was the [...]

The Montréal Museum of Fine Arts celebrated the opening of Jean Paul Gaultier’s new retrospective installation last night with an evening of all things French, Canadian, and French-Canadian.
