This Fall, New York’s Museum of Arts and Design celebrates its second anniversary. The traditional gift for such an occasion, as any bride can tell you, is metal, so that’s what the museum’s well-wishers are offering: All manner of metal art, jewelry, clothes, and craft, which will be sold at its annual gala on October [...]

Nothing like a royal benediction to kick off fashion week, and last night, that’s exactly what London got. At the lawn of Clarence House (Prince Charles’ London pad), Mayor Boris Johnson, Livia Firth (the eco-minded Mrs. Colin), Laura Bailey and a smattering of ladies, lords and baronets attended an eco-sustainable fashion show, presented as part [...]

As the creative director and buyer for the online menswear retailer Oki-Ni, John Skelton was well aware that more than a few women were shopping for dude’s duds on his site. Now he’s applying that unisex sensibility to his new store. LN-CC—which stands for Late Night Chameleon Cafe—launches online early next week with a mix [...]

We’re knee-deep in Milan men’s fashion week, and suit aficionados—myself included—should be happier than pigs in, well, what pigs like to wallow in.

The answer, the enormous ton-and-a-half bed that is the centerpiece of his new show of furniture (pictured), is now on view [...]

Oasis’ Liam Gallagher (pictured)—better known for drunken brawls and fraternal strife—is launching a collection of womenswear. If his Brit pop experience is anything to go by, he’ll probably break it up and then rejoin it again several times just to keep things interesting. [NY Mag]Apparently, not every label got on the whole dot-com thing fast [...]

Twice is a coincidence, three times will be a trend. Sachiko Okada and Aaron Sharif accessorized their Blaak presentation with a crown of thorns. (The show was called Exodus, which ups the religious ante a little). Then a couple of Riccardo Tisci’s beefcakes also sported the ultimate emblem of martyrdom in the Givenchy show (above), [...]

The ASVOFF (A Shaded View on Fashion Film) festival awards ceremony, the final event to cap off four weeks of collections, played to a packed house last night at the Centre Pompidou. Founder Diane Pernet awarded the first ASVOFF/Samsung prize of €3,000 ($4,417) to filmmaker Georgie Greville for her spoof on model castings, entitled I [...]

It was Alber Elbaz who discovered Aminata Niaria almost three years ago. Now, the Senegalese beauty is something of a Paris darling. We asked her to chronicle her packed day of racing around to castings, shows, and, of course, parties. Here’s what Aminata did yesterday.
