Viktor & Rolf saw red for Fall—and so did everyone who went to the Dutch duo’s show, where they were confronted with scarlet-faced models painted in homage, apparently, to Medieval knights. But the face paint stayed in the box for V&R’s new video, debuting exclusively on Style.com: The red here comes (a touch more judiciously [...]

Viktor & Rolf have got a brand-new bag—an airline bag, to be precise. The Dutch design duo has created a special amenity kit for KLM’s business-class passengers. The bow-front bag comes stocked with toothpaste and a toothbrush, an eye mask, lip balm, face cream, socks, a pen, and ear plugs. (For gents, there’s a bow-less [...]

It’s a new year, and what better way to wipe the slate clean than with a crisp white men’s shirt? For Spring, designers focused on classic sportswear, and they put that perennial favorite, the button-up, front-row and center. At Akris and Dries Van Noten, seriously oversized shirts—worn as a day dress and over a sequined [...]

“Dolls are everywhere in fashion. Even Galliano closed one of his shows with a three-foot doll of himself taking a bow in his place. How cool is that?” So says Nick Knight at last night’s private view of In Wolves’ Clothing: Re-Imagining the Doll at SHOWstudio’s Mayfair gallery and shop. “There is something fascinating, even [...]

A good reason to fire up the stereo: a new mix CD from Kitsuné, the French fashion-slash-record label, and Ponystep, the East London online mag-slash-phenomenon. That’s a lot of slashes to ask anyone to take sitting down, but Kitsuné—whose subtle, collegiate clothes, lately a sensation in Japan, will hit Opening Ceremony stores for their “France” [...]

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren—better known simply as Viktor & Rolf—chaired the jury of ITS9, the annual launching-pad competition for young designers in their final year of school, held this weekend in Trieste on Italy’s Adriatic Coast. That made good sense: The designers were themselves launched by a young talent competition back in 1992, at [...]

Viktor & Rolf’s menswear show this morning was an intimate engagement, so when they booked Elly Jackson—a.k.a. the front woman of dance/pop sensation La Roux—they requested something softer than the usual dancehall thrum. “I think Viktor and Rolf originally wanted me to do a cappella,” Jackson told Style.com. “It was a nice idea, but I [...]

The trade-fair tale is often best told by the numbers: This year, Pitti Uomo has 765 exhibitors showing a total of 936 brands over 59,000 square meters. What possible sense can you hope to make of that in the mere hours you have, wandering with increasing aimlessness down avenue after avenue of immaculately made men’s [...]

It’s no secret we’re obsessed with street style photos. And from the looks of the runways, we aren’t the only ones. Clicking through Tokyo blogs like Dropsnap.jp and Fashionsnap.com, we noticed a strong link between the snapshots from Harajuku and Shibuya and the trends that emerged in the Spring 2010 collections. Denim-on-denim? Boho layers? Post-apocalyptic [...]

I’ve seen Rufus Wainwright perform in all sorts of places: the great outdoors over a year ago at the Last Song of Summer fundraiser for Robert Wilson’s Watermill Center, and then an elementary-school gymnasium a couple months back for the same benefit. There was the rousing revival of Judy Garland hits at Carnegie Hall, and [...]
