It’s no secret that we’re all a little fixated with the styles of the past. Each season, a reference (or many) to full skirts, bellbottoms, or drop waists pops up on the runway, and we embrace it with a fresh new take on how to dress it up. Riffing on the past without looking like you came out of a time machine though—therein lies the rub. Before you delve into your old gems, take a look at how the style icons of today have interpreted the icons of days gone by.

Mall chain Esprit is upping their advertising ante by hiring Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Daisy Lowe to be their new faces for spring. Restoin-Roitfeld is fronting their women’s casual line and Lowe is appearing in ads for the EDC by Esprit range alongside her boyfriend, Blondelle singer Will Cameron, who is one of the faces of the EDC men’s line. Esprit says that this is the first time they’ve used celebrity models and the choice of Lowe and Julia, daughter-of-Carine, who may be well known to fashion bloggers and insiders, not exactly a household name, seems pretty clearly to be a move to bring in the fashion cool kids.

On December 9th, The British Fashion Awards 2009 will recognize the most influential players in the British fashion industry. Among the nominees are two Canadians: Winnipeg’s Mark Fast is up against Medham Kirchhoff and Peter Pilotto in the emerging ready-to-wear designer category, while Todd Lynn is nominated in the menswear category with Graeme Fidler of Aquascutum and Kim Jones of Dunhill. Lynn, an Ottawa native who launched his own label of androgynous ready-to-wear in 2006, has worked with Roland Mouret and put Mick Jagger, Marilyn Manson and Bono in his bespoke leathers. Fast, a quickly-rising knitwear name, showed his third collection at London Fashion Week in September at a show that was surrounded in controversy after the designer chose to use a handful of non-size zero models.
Other nominees include Daisy Lowe, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Georgia Jagger in the model category. Winners will be announced on December 9 in London.

We’re all atwitter with excitement (literally, we tweeted about it) that Estée Lauder has brought on runway makeup heavyweight Tom Pecheux as its new creative director. This means we can expect to see the line being used backstage at high-profile international shows, and we can’t wait to see how he’ll infuse his Parisian cool into the all-American—and, let’s be honest, coveted by our grandmothers—brand. His first collection hits counters next spring. [WWD]
Thirty-three-year-old Megha Mittal has beat out Sean Ley in the bidding war to buy Escada. The daughter of the chief executive of the largest steel company in the world, Mittal has been looking to invest in a major fashion house for over a year. She will keep CEO Bruno Saelzer on, and plans for Escada to become an affordable-luxury label offering more ready-to-wear pieces. [The Cut]

Who knew the Snuggie was considered fashion forward enough to have its very own moment in the sun at New York Fashion Week. Apparently, Snuggie is launching a whole slew of colours and styles of the blanket/outfit with the invite saying the “sexiest looks in blanket-wear and adult, kid and even canine models will hit the runway.” This is a joke, right? ’Cause we’re definitely laughing. [The Cut]
An American Apparel ad that ran in Vice was pulled by the UK Advertising Standards Authority because it partially revealed the model’s nipple and resembled “child porn.” Even though the model is 23 and clearly not a child. [Gawker] Read more »
