Spring Runway Trend to Try Now: Texture

Sep 14, 2009 @ 6:00 pm

At Herve Leger, Max Azria gave new life to the brand’s iconic dresses with a trend we’ve been seeing on many other spring runways—tons of texture. The collection had all the usual energy, but this time with finger-knit and crochet details that gave the allusion of an exotic skin. Get the look now with a pair of crocodile heels in a neutral color—so versatile, and the rich texture gives life to even the simplest of dresses.

Designer Inspiration We Love: DVF

Sep 14, 2009 @ 11:00 am

For her Spring 2010 collection Diane von Furstenberg went back in time—ancient times where crowns of leaves were the headband du jour. “For this collection I went to antiquity. I always loved the Pre-Raphaelite paintings. So we have lots and lots of draping, but my girl is the cool girl, the young girl, so she wears all this draping with tee shirts and jackets so it has an effortlessness,” she said before her show yesterday.

Drew and Mariah Have the Hottest Hair at The Toronto Film Festival

Sep 14, 2009 @ 10:25 am

Usually our first question for leading ladies on the red carpet at TIFF is “Who are you wearing?” But we’ve seen such great hair on the actresses this year, we find ourselves asking, “Who did your hair?” At the premiere of Whip It, Drew Barrymore showed off her dip-dyed tips. “It was her idea and I was like, ‘How am I going to do this?’” says hairstylist Tracey Cunningham, who gave Drew her rock and roll mane. “I used clear foils and a stencil that I made out of paper to get everything to line up. This is the craziest look I’ve ever given her!” Meanwhile, Mariah Carey showed off soft waves when she stopped by our photo lounge with the rest of the cast of Precious. We love the natural look, which reminded us of her early ’90s style.

Spring Runway Trend to Try Now: Yellow

Sep 14, 2009 @ 9:55 am

Demi Moore must being having fashion week ESP because the J. Mendel yellow frock that she wore at the Toronto Film Festival yesterday is totally in sync with the Spring 2010 runways. It’s only Day 5, but yellow is already having a major moment with little lemon-hued dresses floating down the runway at Cynthia Steffe, Luca Luca, Reem Acra and Elie Tahari, just to name a few. Take a cue from Moore and wear a yellow dress now with closed-toe pumps for a seasonless splash of sunshine.

Runway Look of the Day: Derek Lam

Sep 14, 2009 @ 9:45 am

It was hard to pick just one look from Derek Lam‘s collection yesterday, but I loved his yellow and blue floral sequin wrap dress. It is the perfect dress for a beautiful spring evening.
