Being green is one of those things – like eating healthily – that we all want to do but don’t always get around to. Recycling can be time-consuming, and researching which products are the most eco-friendly or ethically produced takes time that busy women with jobs might not have.

And for the fashion-savvy, the idea of actually wearing your recycling could seem like a step too far, but fear not. A hot new trend from Brazil is transforming humble soda can ring pulls into fashion must-haves, being extensively featured in the fashion press, including Elle Magazine. [Read more...]

Death of Rachel Zoe: A Fashionable Demise Into Haute Hades

“Rachel’s energy is electrifying? …And often shocking!” -Marc Jacobs

Bad hair day. Dress, $3,200, and shoes, $750, Marc Jacobs. 212-343-1490.

“I dieee.”

It’s a phrase known to many, fashionistas and pop culture aficionados alike, coined by stylist supreme, and wannabe nemesis to Anna Wintour, Rachel Zoe.

The phrase is synonymous when one really likes something – like Rachel and a pair of brand spankin’ new Louboutins.

We see red [Read more...]

{iStyle} Who Designed It Best for the CFDA & Vogue Fashion Fund?

By: Julia Rachlin, guest blogger

There are multiple ways designers install themselves into the fashion-lover’s guide to life.

One of these ways is to marry a really rich dude who funds you until you become one of the most prolific (and admittedly in this case, talented) designers out there….. [Read more...]

{iStyle} Dreams of Fancy in a Haute Couture Art Clouds

Haute Couture Fall 2010

By: Julia Rachlin, guest blogger

Twice a year in Paris, arguably the most aspirational and dream-inspiring event in the fashion world takes place, the Haute Couture runway shows.

Unlike their ready-to-wear compatriots, the couture shows are produced almost solely as a platform for the designers to express their wildest dreams and most extravagant visions to the world.

Truly a massive production – especially considering there are only 2,000 women in the world today who [Read more...]

{iStyle} Social Media Bloggettes & the Haute Fashion idiots who IGNORE them

This is part one of Haute Social Media: Fashion, Makeup & Anna Wintour 2.0

So maybe it’s just me, but I really get ticked when I come across a “Social Media Guru/PR Expert” handling a makeup brand or fashion line who is an idiot with absolutely no grasp of social media, professional decorum and who treats their brand’s outlet as if it was their own personal Facebook page.

The sad thing is, there seems to be a lot of them out there these days…on Twitter especially. It not only irks me, but it saddens me because these people are ruining the name of some really great, top of the line brands.

And while, not naming any names – if you think hard enough, especially, in terms of Twitter, I’m sure you can think of exactly who (and there are more than one) I’m talking about; these “gurus & publicists” make you cringe.

They don’t the first thing about professionalism, they don’t know the first thing about social media, but there they are, in front your face, representing your favourite brands.

It’s ridiculous.

I’d seriously like to know when it was acceptable to conveniently [Read more...]

Dior Kicks Off Paris Couture

By: Jenn Ortiz, guest blogger

Dior kicked off the couture shows in Paris today. Recession be damned. According to Fashion Week Daily, the turn out exceeded expectations, although Ms. Wintour was noticeably absent. When I first saw some of these pictures, which were tweeted directly from the show, I said “Whoa! 80′s color inspiration mixed with 50′s, Mr. Galliano?” What do you think? I see the pantless/skirtless trend continues, as well. Mr. Zee tweeted that the finale dress required two ushers, but I have yet to see a photograph. Wouldn’t it be fabulous if quality photographs were tweeted or posted as the show is in process? More photos after the jump. [Read more...]
