The People Who Handcraft Hermes Are Coming to a City Near You

Sep 5, 2012 @ 8:30 pm

If you’re in New York, San Francisco, or Houston, put this on your To Do List: the Hermès Festival des Métiers. The luxury label is setting up shop in three cities and flying in its craftsmen to show the public how their silk scarves, diamond jewelry, painted crystal, and beyond are made—sometimes painstakingly—by hand. (Example: Each color in an Hermès scarf gets its own print, engraving, and screen.) This is the second year the luxury label pulled off this kind of event, and we hope it returns every year. There’s nothing like seeing something so luxurious being made right in front of you. The festival is in New York (583 Park Avenue) now through September 9th; San Francisco (Union Square Park) from September 20th to 24th, and Houston (1800 Post Oak Boulevard) from October 10th through 14th; visit hermes.com/festival-usa for more information.

Flashdance Is Coming to Broadway!

Sep 5, 2012 @ 8:20 pm

What a feeling! Flashdance, the 1983 dance classic starring Jennifer Beals, is making it’s way to the Great White Way. The cult classic was iconic for its Grammy-nominated soundtrack, which included Irene Cara’s “Flashdance” and Michael Sembello’s “Maniac,” as well as its signature ’80s fashions, like cut-off sweatshirts and high-cut leotards. And it’s not the only film that’s moved from screen to stage lately! Bring It On is earning rave reviews right now in its limited run, while Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella and Magic Mike, the Musical are due out soon. We can’t wait to see which of the Flashdance‘s famous songs make the final cut! Tell us: Would you see Flashdance as a musical?

It’s a big night in Man World, with guys everywhere glued to their giant-screen TVs to take in the kickoff of the NFL season between the reigning Super Bowl champion New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. NBC will broadcast the Big Game live at 8pm EDT.

Watch the Video: Madonna’s Glittering MDNA Tour Costumes

Sep 5, 2012 @ 4:51 pm

The Queen of Pop is on tour again, traveling the world with her extravagant MDNA show. The wardrobe she wears on stage (as well as the looks worn by her 22 backup dancers, singers, and band) sparkle with more than 315,000 Swarovski crystals. And it’s not the first time Madonna has teamed up with Swarovski: She also donned their sparklers during her 2008 Sticky & Sweet tour. “The twinkling effect dances along with me and everyone else on stage,” the pop star said at the time. Check out the video above to see how it all comes together!

Welcome to the dark side, Lana Del Rey! Last night in London, the singer and H&M spokesperson unveiled her new dark black hue.

The star’s signature beauty look — glossy mermaid waves accompanied by winged-out liner — is almost as famous as her soulful hits. We want to know: Are you a fan of her new hair? Tell us!
