We’re Mad About… Boater Hats

Jul 20, 2009 @ 6:00 pm

Anne Hathaway has chosen some funky headgear lately, including a rainbow-colored wig, but her nautical-inspired boater hat that she donned this weekend was perfectly chic and fresh. Boater hats, also known as skimmers, are having a moment—first seen on the runways at Marc Jacobs and then onto the heads of the fashion set, including Chloe Sevigny. Boaters are typically made of straw, boast a stiff brim and flat top and are usually adorned with a ribbon. Take a cue from Hathaway and wear yours with preppy stripes and sunglasses alike.

Stella McCartney Hearts Bambi

Jul 20, 2009 @ 1:00 pm

Just-released photos of Stella McCartney’s latest ad campaign are one part Disney, one part high fashion. The ads feature model Sigrid Agren in McCartney’s Fall/Winter 2009 collection amongst a crowd of furry (and quite famous!) friends: Bambi, Thumper, Friend Owl and Flower the Skunk. “I’m a huge Bambi fan, and the film reminds me of my mum,” McCartney told WWD, “The clothes in the campaign are looking quite fierce and we wanted to contrast them with the innocence of Bambi.”

We’re Mad About… The Little White Dress

Jul 20, 2009 @ 12:00 pm

We’ve been recording little white dress moments all summer long, waiting for just the right time to declare it an obsession. Now, thanks to Eva Mendes, we can! She stepped out in Italy over the weekend in a perfectly chic white frock, joining the ranks of other LWD-wearers like Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz. The genius of the little white dress is that while it’s completely chic alone, you can jazz it up with superhero-sized cuffs (near left) or a pop-of-color belt (far left) for a instant update.

Miami Swim Report: Add Flair To A Chic One-Piece

Jul 20, 2009 @ 11:00 am

We caught up with Susan Joy, the stylist behind the 2010 Lycra swim show, to find out what inspired her wildly fun looks (right). “I had a vision of Jeff Koons’s ‘Rabbit’ balloon overgrown with hot house flowers and tropical vines, so we did bright, modern suits, added fun headpieces, vivid lucite bangles from Alexis Bittar, metal jewels from Mawi and graphic frames from Alain Mikli,” she said.
