FASHION plates: Patti Smith

Comments

By Randi Bergman and Jordan Porter

In the world of icons, it truly doesn’t get any better than Patti Smith. We’d confess our undying devotion to the singer’s lyrics, voice, style, heart, poems and just about anything else she is responsible for (and let us tell you, there’s a lot). The recently released book of never-before-seen images, Patti Smith 1969-1976 by Judy Linn, breathes new life into her everlasting stylistic impact by showing her just before she hit the big time. We channeled Smith’s impact in the best way we know how, shopping in the name of!

Comments

While the Met’s Savage Beauty exhibit is filled with breathtaking pieces from the late Alexander McQueen, there’s nothing like seeing his creations in motion. While we’d certainly all know this to be true, there was a surprising lack of his dresses on the red carpet, save for a few winning entrances by Sarah Jessica Parker, Karen Elson, Gisele Bündchen and Vogue‘s Hamish Bowles. The inimitable Daphne Guinness didn’t disappoint either, not only dressing in one of the designer’s most fantastical creations, but also giving onlookers a chance to peep her very own collection as she got dressed in Barneys New York‘s store windows. Here, we give you our favourite tribs from last night’s ode to the late and great McQueen.

Watch: Sophomore’s spring video starring Chloë Sevigny

Comments

Known for her casual-cool clothing label, Sophomore, and her inimitably cool friends, New York-based designer Chrissie Miller just released the video for her spring collection of tees, tanks and cotton separates. Based on Madonna’s classic early ‘90s tour-doc, Truth or Dare, photographer Cass Bird filmed a few of Miller’s closest pals including Chloë Sevigny, Jen Brill and Lesley Arfin playing the game during an evening at the Bowery Hotel in New York. Like the clothes they don in the video, the players are so enviously cool you’ll want to take on a dare or two of your own just to plop on the couch. As for how far Miller herself would go? “In college I was dared to sit on a skateboard down a giant hill! It was so scary but I made it!” she says.

Chloë Sevigny graced the black carpet for MOCA’s annual The Artist’s Museum Happening gala on Saturday night in L.A. Sevigny wore a white Chanel jumpsuit with a black satin ribbon harness. Malin Akerman attended the same event in a creamy floor-length Ralph Lauren gown with cognac brown leather suspenders. Two harness-esque looks at one party? Curious.

So, who wore it best: Sevigny or Akerman? Vote after the jump!

Fashion news: Coco Rocha gets hitched, Thom Browne does womenswear and Anna Wintour engages in some good old-fashioned NIMBYism

1 Comment

PhotoBig congrats to supermodel Coco Rocha, who tied the knot yesterday with her beau James Conran. The ceremony was held at the same castle in France where he originally proposed. Well played.  [Modelina] See her at FASHION Magazine’s Strut for a Cure.

Yesterday, Anna Wintour spoke out against a Jamaican eatery opening in New York City’s West Village, citing “This is a unique historic neighborhood. I’m also concerned for the safety of the kids here.” Wintour then tried to get the crowd to partake in an unsanctioned hand-raising against the proposed eatery. [NY Daily News]

Marc Jacobs‘ ex Jason Preston is apparently writing a tell-all that will dish on LiLo, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. [Fashion Indie, via The Cut]

Red carpet round table: The best and the worst of the Met Gala

5 Comments

Photography by Kevin Mazur/WireImage/Getty Images �

Now that fashion week, the Globes and the Oscars are all done, we’ve been starved for serious red carpet action for the past couple of months. Last night’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala in New York at least promised to give us fodder for red carpet punditry. The theme was American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity–the exhibit currently on at the Met’s Costume Institute and the most awaited guest of the evening was the American fashion force Lady Gaga. She didn’t show up on the red carpet and the result was a mostly-expected line-up of dresses. (Though even Gaga wore an Armani bodysuit that was near-identical to the one she wore at the Oscars, so yawn.) Diane Kruger’s blazingly white Calvin Klein was the clear winner of the evening, but Gap’s “collaborations” with Rodarte, Sophie Theallet, Thakoon and Alexander Wang were an almost universal disappointment.

Head into the woods in fairy tale style

Comments

nov09wood8_lgFall has been filled with camping chic–tweeds, heritage checks and fishing waders–but we’ve also been seeing a more nightmarish take on the woodsy trend. Animal prints, feathers and fur (real and faux) are straight out of Where the Wild Things Are or Into The Woods–the Sondheim musical’s whimsical-yet-eerie look at popular fairytale heroes amidst a haunted backwoods is an ideal avenue for inspiration.

After the jump, check out our gallery of the best delirium-inspired looks, perfect for a stroll through the enchanted forest. Read more »
