The European shows are just getting fully underway, but coming off London and heading into Milan, a color story is already emerging: green. The girls of London—as snapped by Tommy Ton, top—have delved deep into verdant tones, from dark blue-greens to lighter, brighter spring hues (including those paraded on the runway by master colorist Jonathan [...]

A decade is an even longer time in fashion years, so for its tenth anniversary, Sophia Neophitou’s 10 threw an appropriately lavish bash. “It’s miraculous that I have made my dream come true and enjoyed it for ten years,” Neophitou said at her mag’s celebration in London last night. “I hope the next ten years [...]

Sometimes, trends that make a bright start in New York fade by the time the shows reach Europe, like brash Americans snubbed by their continental cousins. But that’s not the case with the brilliant fluoro tones that lit up Spring ‘11 in NYC (at Prabal Gurung, below right, and Proenza Schouler, below center). Vivid, neon [...]

Louis Vuitton’s “Icons” campaign soldiers on, and the latest star is one who usually finds herself behind the camera: Annie Leibovitz. Apparently, she used her fee to hire another celeb to co-star with [...]

London might have lured Matthew Williamson and Jonathan Saunders back home (for a season at least), but the Bowery has scored British pop sensation Little Boots. Otherwise known as Victoria Christina Hesketh (no relation to Sophia), Little Boots will play to a sold out crowd on the 16th. If you missed out on tickets, or [...]

With the heat of the British Fashion Council’s 25th anniversary and the subsequent return of so many designers (Jonathan Saunders, Clements Ribeiro, Burberry), there are several very good reasons to head to London in September. Well, here’s another: Dover Street Market will be unveiling a redone shop-in-shop (to replace the temporary one currently installed there) [...]

“When Donatella comes to town, you want to do something,” declared Vanity Fair’s Elizabeth Saltzman Walker, by way of explaining the party for 80 she hosted Tuesday night at Tini, an “aperitivo bar” newly opened in Knightsbridge by the Princes’ favorite party throwers, Piers Adam, Nick House, and Guy Pelly. The cocktails for the night [...]

“I used to work for Jonathan Saunders,” comments designer Hannah Marshall. “I think it’s possible I burned out on color.” That’s one explanation for the all-black palette of Marshall’s Fall ‘09 collection. A better one may be that Marshall simply excels at gothic glamour. Marshall launched her brand for Fall ‘07 with a collection of [...]

Elise Crombez, Simon Doonan, Eva Amurri, and assorted editors and social types toasted Pollini’s Jonathan Saunders at a lunch at La Grenouille yesterday. Saunders, whose sophomore Pollini effort will hit the runway in Milan on March 2, is in town to present his signature collection in a Chelsea gallery this Sunday night. Talk ranged from [...]

The current velocity of Jonathan Saunders‘ career can best be measured in frequent-flier miles. In the last six months, the London-based designer has relocated his runway show to New York fashion week, taken up itinerant residence in Milan as the new creative director of Pollini, and jetted back and forth between Europe and the U.S. [...]
