I once asked if Christopher Bailey’s genius allowed him to spot trends well in advance of their happening, or if his creativity was so influential that it set them. After Burberry Prorsum’s catwalk at London fashion week yesterday, I’ll settle on ‘genius’. Bailey is a master of reading the social climate from a lifestyle perspective. Doubt it? Try to suggest differently while viewing Trench Kisses,…

Trends can sweep in as if on an unstoppable avalanche, changing the landscape entirely (until they run their cycle); such is what the fringe (bangs) did back in 2007. But it doesn’t have to end there. Some can drift on, lingering, having smaller bursts of renewed vigor. That’s what the fringe has done – and this year it stays on as a 2013 hairstyle of…

You’d be hard pressed to find a better pair of legs than those of Natasha Poly (possibly Karlie Kloss), and as such when it cames to flashing them for Steven Meisel’s lens in the campaign for Jimmy Choo’s latest olfactory offering her’s were certainly the correct choice.

I’ll disclaim from the outset that the title of this post is inaccurate: “best”, when it comes to any form of art, is subjective. There’s no right or wrong on what can be called the best when it comes to fashion shoots, but there’s only so much you can explain in a title so I’ll say it here instead.

When the time is right and you need a change, there’s nothing quite as liberating as chopping off your hair into a bob. This process of renewal leaves you feeling fresh – courtesy both the change in style and the dead ends left lying on the salon floor. In 2013 the bob again surfaces as a trend – both with a fringe / bangs and…

It’s as much anticipated for its high energy performances and props as it is for the actual lingerie… and each year Victoria’s Secret delivers something that’s as bouncy and glittery as you can possibly imagine. While this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show won’t be broadcast until Tuesday, Dec. 4 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, that doesn’t mean we can’t get some sneak…

When a top model gets a haircut, it’s kind of a big deal. A new hairstyle can make or break a model when it changes their entire look (here’s looking at you, Ruby Jean). Karlie Kloss is the latest to go for a drastic change, revealing a short bob backstage at the Victoria’s Secret 2012 show (though it was promptly made more Angel-like by way…

Part Hitchcock heroine, part 1940s femme fatale… Karlie Kloss in the fall 2012 issue of Acne Paper is a more than healthy dose of vintage inspiration for the day. The shoot is aptly titled A Head For Business and A Body For Sin.
