Front-row bloggers, endless tweets, and a growing list of live-streamed shows. This seems to be the season that fashion stops flirting and finally does a full swoon into the arms of technology. Of course, Roland Mouret is no stranger to using the Internet to erase time and spatial boundaries between runway and consumer. Back in [...]

The LASIK people have a problem. Just when it seemed like everyone with subpar eyesight was saving up to have his or her eyes made right, along comes a trend for specs—one, it appears, that’s not going away anytime soon. In fact, judging by the crowd at last night’s launch party for Prism, the eyewear [...]

Maybe the St. Lucia sun melted her cares away, but Amy Winehouse showed up for court in London yesterday looking a bit, well, unkempt in an ill-fitting Roland Mouret-knockoff suit, dirty ballet flats, and a ragged ‘do. Maybe that’s not so surprising, but the question is: What’s appropriate court attire? We’ve seen Michael Jackson, may [...]

Natalie Massenet and Roland Mouret go way back, all the way back to both Net-a-Porter’s and Mouret’s earliest days.

The cocktails for the night [...]

Chloë Sevigny has turned up in London from shooting a movie in Wales adapted from the autobiography of the drug smuggler Howard Marks. “It’s called Mr. Nice, and I’m playing his wife Judy,” she told a group of guests she’d invited to dinner at The Double Club, the London phenomenon underwritten by Miuccia Prada and [...]

Katie Grand threw a Valentine’s Day Love shopping party at London’s Dover Street Market on Saturday, but only an hour into the event was forced to admit, “There’s not much left, we sold most of it this morning.” To soft-launch her new biannual title for Condé Nast (officially out Thursday), Grand asked her posse of [...]

Celebrity fashion collection. In the none too distant past—just last year, some might say—this phrase conjured up cheap vests and bad jeans, probably knocked out by some factory in the Philippines and then adorned with the diamanteé signature of a bubble-headed famous-for-being-famous twentysomething and then sold to tabloid readers across the land at around the [...]

Things really do happen in threes. Gareth Pugh joins Roland Mouret and Matthew Williamson in next season’s freshman menswear class.
