Kate Middleton Max Mara Coat

As we’ve religiously documented over the past few years, Kate Middleton’s effect on retail is impressive to say the least. Now, Max Mara has announced that it is naming one of their beautiful demure coats after the Duchess of Cambridge.

The coat, which was worn by the Duchess when she and Prince William visited Cambridge last November (her upside-down bow belt caused quite the sensation) is now being called The Kate by the company. The wool and cashmere beige coat, complete with a high neck and a thin bow belt detail sold out immediately after being worn by the Duchess last year. Now, it’ll be available for everyone for the price of $1,397.

Though the coat is not officially affiliated with the royal family, according to British Vogue, the brand has decided to bring it back and rename it in honour of the Duchess.With nearly every piece she touches entering sellout status immediately, we’re surprised we haven’t seen more brands we love pay tribute to the Duchess.

The Kate is now available for purchase from House of Fraser.

How to Wear Overalls Style Panel

From slip dresses to plaid button-down, ‘90s inspired fashion trends are back, and we think they’re stronger than ever. Also re-surfacing from a decade long pause is our favourite tomboy getup: overalls. The timing couldn’t be better. With summer’s intense heat (hopefully) creeping up on us, effortlessly cool overalls are perfect for throwing over a bikini when headed to the beach or pairing with strappy stilettos when headed out for drinks with friends.

Rick Owens Adidas

Photography by Peter Stigter

Earlier this year, Paris based designer Rick Owens decided to take up running, only to realize he didn’t have cool enough footwear to complement his cardio ambitions. “What shoes am I going to wear running?’ I can’t wear my big chunky basketball shoes — I’d look like a dinosaur running through the Tuileries.” Quelle horreur! His design instincts told him to take matters into his own hands. A quick call to Adidas was made and voila: Rick Owens for Adidas.

Announced yesterday on WWD, the new sneaker line will include six styles for men and four for women. There will be leather, suede and other Rick Owens signatures including a colour palette of black, grey and maybe a teeny splash of colour.

John Galliano Charlie Rose

John Galliano is back on the map after a two-year hiatus. The Gibraltar-born British fashion designer, who not so long ago held the reins to one of the biggest fashion houses in the industry, has been the subject of much dispute since his 2011 firing from Dior. Galliano spottings over the past couple of years have been scarce, leaving questions about a possible comeback unanswered. With a new Vanity Fair interview on the stands and a televised one just released online, Galliano seems to be straying from the low profile he’s been keeping contributing to suspicions of a rebound on the horizon. From internships at his designer pal’s atelier to facing blackout drinking, were taking a look at recent developments in John Galliano’s slow but sure return.

Leave it to Prada to always find the cool. Following its much praised menswear ads and runway show starring Gary Oldman, Garett Hedlund, Willem Dafoe and Jamie Bell last fall, the brand has captured three of this year’s buzziest actors in its latest campaign for Fall 2013. The ads star Christoph Waltz, the two-time Tarantino Oscar winner (most recently for his comically twisted role as Dr. King Shultz in Django Unchained), Ben Whishaw, a rising British actor, and Ezra Miller, the baby-faced breakout star of Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Shot by photographer David Sims in London, the New Wave-inspired shots are said to introduce a “duality of wit and style at the heart of the modern man’s attitude to dressing.” Each of the three actors capture aspects of Prada’s Fall 2013 collection—Waltz the elegance, Whishaw the carefree alt charm and Miller, the youthful burst.
