Shoe of the Day: Gareth Pugh Fall 2012 Boot
Monday, March 12th, 2012
Complete with a gladiator mohawk or face-shielding funnel-neck worn atop ample fur or hefty fringe, the first faces of Gareth Pugh's Fall 2012 collection appeared yetis or komondors--from outer space, of course. Second-skin leather pieces peeked-out from beneath their bulky ...

Look of the Day: Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2012
Monday, March 12th, 2012
Ann Demeulemeester always manages to make the over-the-top/complicated look badass--and her Fall 2012 collection, which made its debut at Paris Fashion Week, was no exception. Funnel necks on jackets (shown in black and midnight-blue leather and suede varieties) mirrored funnel ...

Shoe of the Day: Louis Vuitton Fall 2012 Platform Sandal
Saturday, March 10th, 2012
For his Louis Vuitton Fall 2012 collection, Marc Jacobs (whom I'm proclaiming the season's mad hatter--based on his three collections, all heavy in toppers) traveled to the past--by locomotive, it would seem. After all, his Paris Fashion Week show did ...

Look of the Day: Balmain Fall 2012
Saturday, March 10th, 2012
The fact that Olivier Rousteing was able to successfully fuse his Fall 2012 inspiration--a Faberge egg--with Balmain's signature pieces and "cool" aesthetic is impressive, to say the least. While the skinnies, body-con frocks and covetable jackets he revealed on his ...

Shoe of the Day: Miu Miu Fall 2012 Platform Boot
Thursday, March 8th, 2012
Miuccia Prada's Fall 2012 collection for Miu Miu balanced surprise and signature elements. Yes, her outfit of choice consisted of a pantsuit (in variations ranging from leisure to double-breasted), but each was composed of her beloved, clashing motifs. Checks, florals ...

Look of the Day: Valentino Fall 2012
Thursday, March 8th, 2012
With black leather a main idea early on, it was hard to believe that Valentino's Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli were, as expected, behind the collection being presented Tuesday at Paris Fashion Week. A black leather cape paired ...

Shoe of the Day: Rick Owens Fall 2012 Boot
Wednesday, March 7th, 2012
There is something so addicting about the Rick Owens Fall 2012 show that makes me want to watch, and watch again; I'm thinking it's the sum of the "savage", "brutalist" parts. There's the soundtrack--Zebra Katz' "Ima Read", which has had ...

Look of the Day: Comme des Garçons Fall 2012
Wednesday, March 7th, 2012
One of the surprising themes that has come out of the Fall 2012 shows is "prominent hips"; while Comme des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo is bound to be mentioned as one who helped define the trend, her take was--true to form--more ...

Shoe of the Day: Giambattista Valli Fall 2012 Platform
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012
For Fall 2012, Giambattista Valli went more urban than in seasons past; his love affair with the "downtown" look was clear in his latest runway show--which ran its course yesterday, as part of Paris Fashion Week. But, his collection also ...

Look of the Day: Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2012
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012
Those turned on by black, leather and '80s-feel garb will agree that Stefano Pilati is leaving Yves Saint Laurent on a high note--in terms of design, anyway. His final, Fall 2012 collection for the line fused classics (including those specific ...

Monday, March 5th, 2012
Ever behind a memorable show, Riccardo Tisci revealed his Fall 2012 collection for Givenchy yesterday at Paris Fashion Week--by way of a parade of 47 equestrian-inspired looks that launched to the sound of galloping horses. A neutral color palette of black ...

Look of the Day: Stella McCartney Fall 2012
Monday, March 5th, 2012
I've long said that Stella McCartney pulls off sporty sophistication like no other, and her latest collection--which played out today at Paris Fashion Week--served as further proof. For Fall 2012, the designer fancied high collars and flippy skirts--a combination most memorable ...

Shoe of the Day: Vivienne Westwood Fall 2012 Platform
Sunday, March 4th, 2012
For her Paris Fashion Week Fall 2012 runway, legendary Vivienne Westwood put on a party--and models played her eccentric guests. As such, each worked unique looks--from the way their hair was styled to their dramatic dress. We saw "Ziggy Stardust" ...

Look of the Day: Loewe Fall 2012
Sunday, March 4th, 2012
While a brand that has been known for its luxury leather goods since the 1800s, Madrid-based Loewe looks as "now" as any; designer Stuart Vevers should be credited--with his youthful and luxe (hello, fur) Fall 2012 collection that debuted yesterday ...

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 ...
