Runway Looks We Love: Christian Dior

Sep 29, 2012 @ 5:30 pm

Raf Simons’ eagerly-anticipated debut ready-to-wear collection for Christian Dior was a modern take on classic Parisian style. Drawing on some of the iconic silhouettes of the house of Dior, the designer modernized the overall look by adding bold details like neon hues and iridescent fabrics. Dresses in a variety of shapes and colors offered fresh options for work and weekend while classic ball-gown skirts were cut to reveal irresistibly bright metallic pumps. Equally chic were the ultra-wearable bags—ladylike for day, and sleek for evening. Check out our favorite looks in the gallery!

SCAD and The Limited’s Jewelry Collection: Shop It Now!

Sep 29, 2012 @ 11:00 am

Your weekend shopping just got a little more academic! The Limited has revealed its second jewelry collaboration with the Savannah College of Art and Design. Nine students from the school created a total of 26 designs for the capsule collection, which ranges in price from $23 to $50, and is shoppable here! The Limited’s CEO, Linda Heasley, said in a statement that the partnership emerged “to give students priceless, real-life experience in the fashion industry and ultimately provide our customers with the cutting-edge designs they’ve come to expect from The Limited.” One of the participating designers, Jewelry and Objects major Emily Morrow, said “it is absolutely surreal to have my designs manufactured. But in reality, it was a true collaboration of professors, students, and The Limited jewelry team all helping to create the final designs.” We especially love the scripted scroll cuff ($35), the half moon ombré necklace ($47), and the encased lace drop earrings ($25).
