The future of fashion is now.
Amid the frilly haystack rumpus at Chanel, the sexed-up Grace Jones warrior at Pugh and Balmain, and the return of laid-back sportswear basics at Stella emerged one more new runway trend: the fashion industry’s full-blown plunge into the world of technology.
Now that we’re [finally] entering the recovery phase after this [...]

Remember these magnificent alien/mermaid McQueen shoes?
Of course you do, and if you’re like us you’re still fantasizing about how to get your mitts on these incredible lobster-claw/satyr-hoof/sea-monster concoctions so you can stop traffic every week in the cereal aisle.  (Imagine never needing help reaching the top shelf ever again!)
To the surprise of … well, everyone, [...]

Fitting seamlessly into the recent Americana trend is the latest collaboration between Levis and skater and musician Tommy Guerrero.
No word yet on when the collab officially drops, but for now we get a sneak peak at the above two pieces which mix the classic Levi’s denim look with a kitschy Mexican-inspired theme.

Designer versions of safety-pin-studded duds are of course [...]

All the hype that surrounds a fashion show helps to propel a brand and solidify a collection’s appeal. People sometimes pay more attention to the shows they couldn’t get into and who was sitting front row. So why, after spending 5 minutes or more telling us how we ought to look, does the designer usually [...]

Jeanne d’Arc would be pleased.

Reigning now is, of course, rampant Balmania with that ubiquitous strong shoulder-line so popular [...]

Yes, we know tradition states that Paris, London, New York, and Milan dictate the fashion world, but with the uncertainty of the future of fashion comes an opportunity for new blood to crop up and make its way into the industry.
