Shop the Look: All Cracked Up

Shop the Look: All Cracked Up

There’s nothing quite as cool as a worn-in leather jacket. But what about a distressed dress, bag, and heels? Surprisingly, the lived-in look translates well into structured shapes and bright hues. Rather than seeming shopworn, these artfully tattered finds appear better than new. From Rag & Bone’s neon biker jacket to Miu Miu’s retro take on gritty sophistication, shop our crackled picks, below.

London Called, Dolce & Gabbana Answered

Stefano Gabbana and Domenico DolceAs the men’s shows approach, the London Collections: Men (which will run from June 16 to 18) seems to be gaining more steam. Today, Dolce & Gabbana announced that it will open its fourth London boutique with a bash on June 15. Additionally, after being invited to kick off the season by London Collections: Men chair and British GQ editor in chief Dylan Jones, the brand will show its Spring ’14 tailoring collection during the event. Dolce & Gabbana, whose designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana noted in a statement that British tailoring is part of the house’s DNA, join high-profile names such as Burberry Prorsum, Rag & Bone, Paul Smith, and Jimmy Choo in presenting in London for the first time this season

Rag & Bone is London-Bound

London’s two-season-old men’s week (technically referred to as London Collections: Men) announced another victory today: New York-based Rag & Bone, will be joining the Spring 2014 lineup. Last season, international labels Tom Ford and Alexander McQueen presented their menswear ranges in the city, and this March, Burberry also announced plans to show on its home turf for Spring 2014.

“Rag & Bone, started life in New York, but as English guys, we are delighted to be a part of London Collections: Men,” said British-born designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville. “Menswear is what originally put our brand on the map, and our British roots have heavily influenced our aesthetic, so we felt strongly about showing our Spring 2014 collection in our hometown.” The third installment of London Collections: Men will kick off on June 16.

Shady Kate

While many of her contemporaries have lightened up on the modeling game, or taken to hosting reality TV, Kate Moss is snagging headlines left and right. For starters, she’s in a slew of Spring campaigns (Versace, Givenchy, Stuart Weitzman, and Rag & Bone come to mind). She made waves with her recent covers for Love magazine (she appeared nearly nude in a bathtub), and W‘s March issue (conversely, she was styled like a white lace-clad madonna), and closed out Paris fashion week with a surprise strut down Vuitton’s sultry Fall '13 catwalk. And today, the model sent the Twittersphere abuzz after she read a passage of Fifty Shades of Grey on pal Nick Grimshaw’s UK radio show. (It was all in the name of charity, apparently.) We’re always wary of ubiquity, but somehow, Moss makes it work for her.

Barneys Takes A Walk on the Wild Side



Animation, designer duds and the power of instant purchasing come together in Barneys’ latest endeavor—a shoppable spring film called Wild Things. Created by filmmaker and photographer Barnaby Roper under the direction of Barneys creative director Dennis Freedman, the film stars Kinga Rajzak and follows her through a black-and-white cartoon land while she wears looks by Isabel Marant, Acne, Carven, Rag & Bone, and beyond. And when it goes live on Barneys’ Web site tomorrow, viewers will be able to point, click, and buy as they watch the short, thanks to Liveclicker technology. “The movement, special effects, and graphic treatments Barnaby created work because there is also a sense of humor and wit, which make them Barneys,” said Freedman of the project. Naturally, in addition to being practical (and pretty persuasive), the film has that classic Barneys quirk (think playful, primitive drawings with a vintage Pop art edge).

According to Barneys, the video, which debuts exclusively above, is part of the retailer’s ongoing push to expand its presence in the digital space. For instance, the department store has launched the Barneys Warehouse website—its first permanent off-price e-commerce destination (not unlike the famed Warehouse Sale, the site features past-season items at up to 75 percent off). Other digital milestones include the recent website redesign, a focus on The Window—Barneys’ editorial site, and, of course, last year’s holiday Disney film and corresponding scavenger hunt, which was conducted via Twitter. To accompany the spring film, Barneys will be launching mini videos, designer interviews, and more as a part of its increased focus on digital content creation.
