Istanbul’s population unofficially tops 16 million. This past weekend, it felt like every single one of them owned a car—or at least was driving one. Guests at Istancool—the second Istanbul International Festival of Culture, to give it its full title—became intimately acquainted with the world through a minibus window as they negotiated the route from [...]

Change is in the air at Pringle of Scotland, where Balenciaga alum Alistair Carr has taken the reins, following the departure of former creative director Clare Waight Keller. (Waight Keller herself, it was announced last week, is set to helm Chloé.) But not everyone at the Scottish luxury house is new. Tilda Swinton, a regular [...]

There’s a new Wes Anderson movie in the offing. Focus Features is backing Moonrise Kingdom, the latest from the Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore director. The film, which will be shot this summer in Rhode Island, stars a pair of young unknown actors as a teenage couple that runs away to elope. In the supporting [...]

In between the men’s shows and Couture (kicking off today), you could be forgiven for bypassing Bebelplatz. But Berlin fashion week, which ended yesterday, sent out several polished collections last week, and celebs like Tilda Swinton and Chloë Sevigny found time to touch down in the front rows.
For trend trackers, the seventies mood that prevailed [...]

We’re at that time of year when the party winds blow south—to Art Basel Miami Beach. Two of the week’s busiest spots are starting things off tonight: At The Webster, the Brazilian footwear company Melissa is throwing a dinner in honor of Italian designer and architect Gaetano Pesce; meanwhile, at brand-spanking-new Soho Beach House, Jay [...]

Pringle’s marriage of fashion and art has so far produced a David Shrigley film that’s a YouTube hit and Ryan McGinley’s hypnotic collaboration with Tilda Swinton. The three of them were involved in the company’s latest project, co-curated by Julia Peyton-Jones and Hans Ulrich Obrist of London’s Serpentine Gallery, to mark Pringle’s 195th anniversary and [...]

In terms of swag, Sundance isn’t quite the treasure trove it was a few years ago, when Sienna Miller famously got busted for hoarding freebies and movie fans wore “Focus on Film” pins in protest of celebrity-gifting suites.Still, there’s no reason a product-toting Diesel publicist wouldn’t chase down Kristen Stewart’s publicist in broad daylight, as [...]

Nine years after shuttering his eponymous label, Josephus Thimister is returning as the founder, owner, and art director of his house. His much anticipated comeback—featuring couture and luxury ready-to-wear pieces for both women and men (a first)—is slated to take place during the Couture shows in January, when he will also be presenting a line [...]

Tilda Swinton + Ryan McGinley + Pringle of Scotland = Most unexpected campaign collaboration ever. Since McGinley basically only shoots models without their tops on, the chance of Swinton showing some skin, while unlikely, is not improbable. [Vogue U.K.]France’s trouble with jewelry heists shows no signs of abating. Yesterday, three men in Hawaiian shirts hit [...]

Back in March, we argued that the corseted cutaway tailcoat in cranberry worn with a long silk satin skirt with a train that
Haider Ackermann put on his Fall runway “would make an inspired red-carpet choice for a lithe Hollywood type with an adventurous spirit.” And now Tilda Swinton has gone and worn them on the [...]
