Shoe of the Day: Christian Dior Fall 2012 Heel
Saturday, March 3rd, 2012
What better shoe to anchor a show that seemed peppered with ballet-uniform inspiration than a feminine, bowed platform with straps that "ribbon" up the leg? Shown in pinky-nude and black varieties, Dior's chunky-heeled "slipper" was the sole style featured in ...

Look of the Day: Lanvin Fall 2012
Saturday, March 3rd, 2012
Doubling as a celebration of Alber Elbaz' ten-year tenure at the house, it seems the Lanvin Fall 2012 runway show--which ran its course yesterday, as part of Paris Fashion Week--was the hottest ticket of the season. And--with a major model ...

Shoe of the Day: Helmut Lang Fall 2012 Bootie
Tuesday, February 28th, 2012
With Paris Fashion Week just getting underway, I've decided it's a fitting time to sit back and reflect on some of the looks I have seen--and neglected to cover--thus far. The tiered-wedge booties at Helmut Lang? Major, and definitely worth ...

Look of the Day: DSquared2 Fall 2012
Tuesday, February 28th, 2012
I only wish I had access to the DSquared2 Fall 2012 collection days ago, when styling a shoot I deemed inspired by a "preppy Lolita". Young (with a "high school prom" theme--tuxedo-clad dates and all!) and prim (think buttoned-up blouses, ...

Shoe of the Day: Emilio Pucci Fall 2012 Boot
Monday, February 27th, 2012
Peter Dundas has never been one to disappoint. Still, as the Pucci Fall 2012 show began to play out, there was a small moment of "WTF?" Expecting a lineup that would appease my inner luxe-hippie, I was instead greeted by ...

Look of the Day: Roberto Cavalli Fall 2012
Monday, February 27th, 2012
When viewing a collection that is equal parts super-luxe and super-young, one can't help but fear that Forever 21 will get a whiff of it--and create the most hideous clothes possible. Such was the case when eyeballing the Roberto Cavalli ...

Shoe of the Day: Blumarine Fall 2012 High-Top
Saturday, February 25th, 2012
Loud, yet wearable, and one of the youngest collections we've seen from the line, the Blumarine Fall 2012 collection debuted yesterday at Milan Fashion Week. It was heavy in bright-white, metallics, leopard print and fur--and was suitably accessorized. When bold ...

Look of the Day: Versace Fall 2012
Saturday, February 25th, 2012
Not that it was a total makeover--VERSACE was spelled out on a number of body-con dresses, after all--but lla Versace's Fall 2012 collection (which debuted at Milan Fashion Week yesterday) definitely veered a bit from her signature Miami-glam aesthetic. It ...

Shoe of the Day: Prada Fall 2012 Flatform
Friday, February 24th, 2012
The models on the Prada Fall 2012 runway were finally-functioning fembots; their creator clearly launched her project with their outfits, in the 1960s. Their severe, matching makeup and blank stares contributed to the vibe--but their clothes sold it, defined by ...

Look of the Day: Fendi Fall 2012
Friday, February 24th, 2012
Aside from the "major" model lineup (welcome to Milan), the Fendi Fall 2012 runway featured what can best be described as a magic mix; it was young, edgy and--though seemingly a lot of elements in one--it worked. Twisted hair that ...

Shoe of the Day: Gucci Fall 2012 Boot
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012
From her opening look--a military jacket and floor-sweeping velvet skirt, paired with round glasses, strands in soft waves and a black-cherry pout--it seemed Frida Giannini's muse for Gucci Fall 2012 (introduced yesterday, at Milan Fashion Week) was the heroine of ...

Look of the Day: No. 21 Fall 2012
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012
It was full of sheer and lace layers, hemlines were high and bras were exposed, but--thanks to his incorporation of playful, conservative and masculine elements--designer Alessandro Dell'Acqua kept his No. 21 Fall 2012 collection (which debuted yesterday, at Milan Fashion ...

Shoe of the Day: Alain Quilici for David Koma Fall 2012 Bootie
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012
While some aspects of David Koma's Fall 2012 collection were questionable--fabric was (too?) stiff; collars were (too?) high; dramatic cutouts made for leftover, boob-hugging panels (is that wrong?)--one thing was for sure: the shoes were killer. The Alain Quilici for ...

Look of the Day: Dion Lee Fall 2012
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012
With his Fall 2012 collection--which made its debut at London Fashion Week yesterday--Sydney-based designer Dion Lee undoubtedly caught the attention of those who love to look sexy but are too fashion-forward to work the beaten-to-death body-con mini. His take on ...

Shoe of the Day: McQ Fall 2012 Boot
Tuesday, February 21st, 2012
The subject of the first runway show for Sarah Burton's more-accessible line, the McQ Fall 2012 collection did not disappoint. It was tough, romantic and gothic--perfectly following in the footsteps of its spotlight-experienced family member. The well-balanced mix came by way ...

Look of the Day: Burberry Prorsum Fall 2012
Tuesday, February 21st, 2012
Every season, editors pluck a number of memorable pieces from the collective runways and peg them "musts". It seems Burberry's Christopher Bailey set out to make the task much more daunting for Fall 2012; his collection was chock-full of standouts ...

Shoe of the Day: Topshop Unique Fall 2012 Combat Boot
Monday, February 20th, 2012
The summation of the Topshop Unique Fall 2012 collection? G.I. Jane. The line's London Fashion Week runway was full of soldier girls, seemingly transformed for an editorial in a high-fashion glossy (coincidentally, creative director Kate Phelan has roots at British ...

Look of the Day: Acne Fall 2012
Monday, February 20th, 2012
Yes, it was hard to find cohesiveness in the Acne Fall 2012 collection (which debuted yesterday, in London)--but that doesn't mean it was anything short of the covetable display Jonny Johansson is known for turning out. Burnt reds and grays ...

Shoe of the Day: JW Anderson Fall 2012 Flatform Penny Loafer
Sunday, February 19th, 2012
Finally, a designer who will keep us warm this fall. Today, at London Fashion Week, Jonathan "JW" Anderson debuted a Fall 2012 collection that appeared heavily insulated. Fleece-look layers and quilted, "wrapped" pieces (vests, skirts, calf-skimming dresses) were memorable, as ...
