If you need further proof than our latest In the Mood For feature that polka dots are a spring must-have, witness this snap of Ashley Greene. The Twilight star donned this D&G minidress in Hollywood earlier this week, picking up on a trend we’ve recently—heh—spotted on Rachel Bilson, Alexa Chung, and Kate Bosworth. We like [...]

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 [...]

At last night’s Valentino fête in L.A., the dress code was chic and unusually easy to follow: all Valentino, all the time. That’s not to say it was a one-note affair. Valentino’s designers, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, have dedicated themselves to shaking up the storied house, which means injecting a little more [...]

Magnus Berger and Tenzin Wild always throw The Last Magazine’s fashion week parties at the tail end of the week—the time, in other words, when designers and editors can see the light at the end of the tunnel and are especially eager to kick off their six-inch heels and let off some steam. That’s just [...]

When someone says black lace, I think of Sicilian widows, not spring dressing, but it might be time to reconsider after Liv Tyler and Kylie Minogue both worked the red carpet wearing curvy filigreed sheaths in deepest noir this week. And don’t forget Stella McCartney, Kate Bosworth, Kerry Washington, and Anne Hathaway at the Met [...]

After all the anticipation, the countless reports of who’d be wearing what, and which designers would be squiring which celebrities, the Costume Institute ball is over. We had many favorites. Kate Bosworth’s Veronica Lake locks, fire-engine-red lips, and lacy Stella McCartney were a bright spot; as were Jessica Stam’s coppery Rodarte (it matched her hair) [...]

It is inevitable, in the course of human events, that some phenomena will not only leave a person cold, but befuddle her entirely. Twitter, for example. Striptease classes. Rachael Ray. At the moment, however, the trend that’s really got me out of step with the zeitgeist is jelly shoes. Don’t get me wrong—I think most [...]

Yesterday, when Kate Moss took her seat at the Chanel show and incited a paparazzi crush, I was reminded of the good ol’ days when fashion shows always had supermodels and celebrities in their front rows. (Remember when you didn’t even have to pay them?) There was still a bit of nostalgia after the show, [...]

Many were wondering if Beatrice Inn, the West Village nightclub that has held the lock on fashion week after-hours for a few seasons, was going to continue its dominance during the Fall ‘09 collections. (Well, at least I was.) And while there have been some competing venues-Chloe 81 was allegedly raving Friday night, and the [...]

We are fashion people and therefore adore most of what Olivier Theyskens has, does, and will design—rumors of replacements be damned. But even we have to admit that the beautiful high-low hem dresses from his Spring 2009 show have played somewhat awkwardly off the runway. Witness, Kate Bosworth at the Art of Elysium Gala a [...]
