Sheer Delight

There’s nothing quite like a touch of sheer, especially for night. A beautiful peekaboo cocktail dress—like the frothy black confection seen at Prada’s fall 2008 show—just smacks of decadent, of-another-era glamour. Now don’t get us wrong, we’ve spotted our share of style slipups: Who didn’t get a little jumpy seeing so much of Gwyneth’s hip-torso-pubic-bone area when she stepped out in her see-through Antonio Berardi number at the premiere of Two Lovers? And really, who wants to see...

Ride the Wave

We feel bad for ruffles—’80s prom queens and Dolly Parton concerts, need we say more? But when done right, ruffles convey such a lovely, feminine I-look-a-little-more-special-than-you sensibility that’s hard to find in any other inspired fashion detail. This season’s iteration is all about balance: Keep the pieces small (so the flounce doesn’t have a chance to get out of control) and in sophisticated neutral colors. Phillip Lim’s spring 2009 show featured simple separates—a black miniskirt,...

Heavy Metal

We love the way this gleaming, futuristic trend (which we first spotted at Balenciaga, with their slim-fitting, tiered-skirt shift dress) goes from nighttime extreme to let’s-go-grab-coffee-and-catch-a-movie normal. At its max it mixes hard layers, hammered textures, and liquidy, mirrorlike metal shine with serious, couture-level tailoring. Nothing, but nothing, demands the spotlight for night like a richly shimmering metallic dress. Even in a more toned-down shade—deep copper, steely pewter gray—the...

Short Story

This look was huge for the spring runways, but glamorous Hitchock-heroine-types have been randomly spotted working it for years, to devastating effect: There you are, strolling down the street, feeling cute, when out of nowhere some fabulous Kelly-Deneuve-Radziwill-esque woman breezes past you in said ensemble, suddenly rendering your own outfit too tailored, too casual, too young, too old, too whatever—just generally messing up your whole universe. In their spring ’09 show, Obedient Sons and Daughters...

Leather Leggings

Well, rent is always a worthy cause, but, frankly—our regrets to liquid latex leggings—if you can swing it, go for it. No other article of clothing on earth can give you the same heady wild-child feel as slipping on a pair of skintight (real) black leather pants. They suck you up and in, and have the power to transform even the squarest, chino-loving librarian into a sexy Viper Room-trawling, crazy-hot mess. Alexander Wang’s paper-thin, curve-huggers from his spring ‘09 show are a rock and...

Slouchy Fashion

Though slouchy was the keyword for fall, it’s misguiding. Overall, it’s very pulled-together—the pieces are essentially quite luxurious and tailored. The roominess of the clothes is what gives such a sense of ease. Gone are the skinny street-urchin tees and drainpipe jeans of the past few seasons. This soft, clean reworking of Pierre Cardin–ish sportswear feels infinitely glamorous and grown-up. It suggests swingy-haired New York City women from the late ’70s and early ’80s who wear lipstick and...

Tall Fashion Designer – L’Wren Scott

In honor of fashion week, it’s only fitting to highlight a tall fashion designer. L’Wren Scott, long-time girlfriend of Mick Jagger, began working as a fashion designer in 2006 following success as a model and stylist. She stands at an impressive 6′4″, and originally began making clothes for herself as a teen because she couldn’t find anything to fit her tall, lean frame. Her designs include beautiful and expensive dresses and pantsuits. A single dress can cost up to $5,000.00....
