If the amount of paparazzi outside an establishment is any indication of its popularity—which is the only barometer I use to measure this sort of thing—then the place to be last night in London was Claridge’s Hotel in Mayfair. There were dozens of paps loitering, leaning on their expensive cars and mopeds. (Side note: How [...]

Are this year’s ANDAM nominations in? The ANDAM site says no, but Bryan Boy says yes. If he’s on to something, congrats to Mark Fast, Francesco Scognamiglio, Bouchra Jarrar (whose debut couture collection is pictured, left), Calla Haynes, Hakaan Yildrim, and Alexandre Vauthier. Carine Roitfeld will chair the judging panel, which will also include Alber [...]

Yaz Bukey and her sister Emel are Paris party girls extraordinaires, so their accessories line Yazbukey’s tenth anniversary requires nothing less than ten parties to celebrate. Yaz has a gift for revamping the classics—she designed a gift box for Paris’ primo macaron purveyor Ladurée earlier this year, and created a mini collection of Barbie-inspired Plexiglas [...]

There were so many bodies at Rankin’s Eat Me Naked exhibition opening on Friday night at the A.Galerie that it was hard to see the bodies hanging on the walls. That’s a shame, since many of them—nudes of Kate Moss, Heidi Klum, Eva Herzigova, and Rankin’s new bride, Tuuli, among others—have never been shown before. [...]

We should have seen this one coming a mile away: Alice in Wonderland serving as the muse for Alice Temperley’s new lower-priced line, Alice. “Are you kidding? I have loved her my whole life, and not just because we have the same name,” Temperley sighed at the Soho Hotel in London, where she was hosting [...]

The book, which comes out stateside next week, does feature a collection of portraits shot by photographer, filmmaker, and Dazed & Confused co-founder Rankin over the course of his career; so far, so typical. Not so typical? The fact that Rankin handed those portraits back to his subjects, [...]

When Olivier Zahm does it, the effect is a little more Dada. “I am not a photographer,” the Purple magazine editor announced last night, at the opening of his first-ever photo show, “I just take pictures.”

For Tabitha Simmons, the model turned stylist turned shoe designer, there was a nostalgic feel to her splashy debut on the second floor of Bergdorf Goodman on Tuesday. “When I was about 14, as a Saturday job I worked at a shoe shop,” she explained, adding that the price points have changed a little bit [...]

As the decade draws to a close, it seems fair to wonder: What was aughts fashion? What was memorable? What will embarass us when we look back at photos twenty, thirty years hence? What was significant, in that it changed the way we shop or dress? Another magazine’s forthcoming issue takes a stab at the [...]

It happened about midday yesterday: I looked away from my computer and out the window on a sun-drenched palazzo and remembered I was actually in Venice, one of the most unique and inspiring cities in all of the world. (With all the fashion talk and the familiar fashion faces in town, it was easy to [...]
