Lana Del Rey’s a model now! Are you surprised?

Comments

Photography by Lewis Mirrett

Coming as a shock to no one, or at least not us, Lana Del Rey‘s face (and bod) has been signed with Next Models. Joining a roster shared by the likes of Karlie Kloss, Alexa Chung, and Arizona Muse, the agency will likely be handling all of her upcoming campaigns. Whilst we’ve only been able to gaze at her in a fake Prada ad thusfar, we’re sure Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs aren’t far behind. We’ll just say we saw her when.

Battle of the It bags: Which takes the cake for the most coveted?

Comments

The It Bag

The Kelly, the PS1, the Speedy: It bags have become so major over the years, that they scarcely even need a designer name attached! We discuss the appeal at length in our Winter 2012 issue, but today, we’re putting these bags to the test: in the battle of It bag supremacy, which comes out on top?

Afternoon beauty fix: 3 ways to give sparse eyebrows a boost

Comments


What’s my best solution for filling in sparse eyebrows? I was born with barely any, and wish for ones like Brooke Shields has.
Technique is important, but don’t fret—enhancing your brows is simpler than you think. Brush your brows upwards then outward to settle rogue hairs. Then, pick a colour: it’s best to go darker than your natural hair colour, and if you’re grey, look for dark blonde or heather, but avoid anything with a red undertone. When choosing an eyebrow pencil, you want one that draws easily on the back of your hand. You can also opt for a felt-tip, like Urban Decay Urban Brow Precision Tip Brow Tint ($24, sephora.com), which will help you avoid blunt lines and messy pencil shavings. The third option—and the one most commonly used by makeup artists—is eye shadow applied with a slanted eyeliner brush. This technique will add volume, because powder is more malleable and easy to blend, and is your best bet in terms of finding the perfect colour match. For the Marc Jacobs Spring 2012 show, François Nars used the Nars Pandora Duo Eye Shadow ($38, narscosmetics.ca) and, though the palette contains a matte black and shimmering white, the models’ brows looked strong and defined, not fake. Feel free to use a dark and light brown instead, but don’t shy away from colour that looks bold because, believe us, powder is blendable.

Vote! Who takes the cake for best dressed designer/muse duo at the British Fashion Awards?

Some of our favourite fashion talents were celebrated last night at the 2011 British Fashion Awards in London, with Sarah Burton, Mary Katrantzou, and Charlotte Olympia (to name a few) coming out on top in their respective categories. As always, what everyone was wearing was equally top of our minds, and we’ve especially enjoyed these neat little red carpet photo combos of megawatt designer avec megawatt muse (or muse-come-designer in Victoria Beckham’s case). In one corner, we’ve got the bright-young-thing duo of Christopher Kane and Alexa Chung donning a look from his Spring 2012 collection, and with Charlotte Olympia kitten heels. In the other, you’ve got the black-on-black pairing of Marc Jacobs and Beckham in her own design (may we just say, Vicky’s looking less extreme than usual, and we like it) The always-cool McCartney and Moss duo triumph with Stella in a sexy-tomboy suit and Kate in all-over fishnet. So, who takes the cake for the best dressed duo?

They said/We said: It’s final – Marc Jacobs isn’t going to Dior

Comments

Marc Jacobs

Photography by Peter Stigter

November has not been Marc Jacobs month. After the Spring 2012 samples from his own line in London and now Louis Vuitton merchandise stolen in Paris, it’s being reported that he is not going to replace John Galliano at Dior after all those rumours. Earlier this month it was speculated that talks between Jacobs and Dior had come to a halt because of Jacobs and business partner Robert Duffy’s unreasonable demands. Now, a source close to the situation, who has remained anonymous, has confirmed with Fashionista that negotiations had stopped by mid-November due to money issues and due to Jacobs’ wanting to transfer his team and aesthetic over to Dior.

Thieves on a train! Over $400,000 worth of Louis Vuitton merchandise stolen

Comments

Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton Spring 2012

Just a few weeks after Marc Jacobs entire Spring 2012 collection samples were stolen in London, it seems that the thieves have struck again! It’s being reported by WWD that a gang of five masked thieves made off with over $400,000 worth of Louis Vuitton merchandise from the freight terminal at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport. It’s unlikely that these two robberies are one big coincidence, which leads us to ask: Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? (And also, who’s out to get Muscleman Marc?)
