Tom Ford Debuts His Spring 2013 Collection: Watch the Video

Oct 2, 2012 @ 4:27 pm

Usually the public doesn’t get to see Tom Ford’s collections until they appear in stores, but this season, the great Mr. Ford has decided to post his Spring 2013 collection as a video clip on his YouTube page. The designer, whose creations are worn by stars such as InStyle cover girls Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez (who can forget this dress?) has always been very hush-hush anytime he shows his namesake collection; he invites a very small group of people and forbids the presence of cameras and any social media. So take a moment to thank the Fashion Gods before feasting your eyes on a smorgasbord of 29 looks, featuring patent leather trenches, giant zip satchels, and a bunch of bondage-inspired buckles.

Oct 2, 2012 @ 2:32 pm

Use your Facebook time to make a difference! Estee Lauder is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign and the legacy of co-founder Mrs. Evelyn H. Lauder by donating $1 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for every post on their timeline during the month of October. “I feel we’ve achieved so much in twenty years,” longtime spokesmodel Elizabeth Hurley told InStyle.com at the opening of the charity’s interactive exhibition in New York City. “In some ways it’s very bittersweet because we don’t have Evelyn Lauder with us, but she really dedicated the last twenty years of her life to this cause and I feel that so much come to fruition.” Find out more about the campaign and make your post at facebook.com/BCACampaign.

Vionnet Debuts First Couture Collection for 100th Anniversary

Venerable French fashion house Vionnet celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, and in honor of the milestone, the label presented a 20-piece demi-couture collection—high-end ready-to-wear items that require hours of hand workmanship—during Paris Fashion Week. The collection is filled with pieces inspired by the architectural elements that made founder Madeleine Vionnet famous a century ago, such as the bias-cut, the handkerchief dress, the cowl neck, and the halter top. Current designer Rodolfo Paglialunga reinterpreted the silhouettes for modern day, as seen in our favorite looks above. Each outfit is custom made and takes eight weeks to produce (visit vionnet.com for where to buy). It’s quite an accomplishment for the label, which returned six years ago after having closed in 1939. Expect fans including Diane Kruger, Natalie Portman, and Gwyneth Paltrow to raise a glass in Madame’s honor!

Oct 2, 2012 @ 1:52 pm

Next time you “like” a product on Facebook, you might just be able to buy it. The social media site is about to add real-life gifts to its repertory. The new Facebook Gift Shop (preview it here) will allow you to pick out and buy real gifts for your friends, notify them that you have given them a goodie, and have the product shipped to them. Recipients can even input their own shipping information (so nothing gets lost) or change sizes (if you can’t remember exactly how they like their sweaters to fit). Gifts in your News Feed? That’s much better than getting poked, don’t you think? Keep your eye on Facebook here to see when you can start gifting.

Pippa Middleton’s Black-and-White Outfit: Where to Buy It

Oct 2, 2012 @ 12:19 pm

After ushering in the fall season with her astounding collection of jeans, Pippa Middleton stuck by her standby denims when she stepped out for a London shopping excursion this weekend. Opting for a black-and-white look—the color-combo now dominating the runways—the royal-in-law donned a pair of Goldsign Misfit slim leg jeans (get them for $218 at saksfifthavenue.com), which she topped with a striped Alice + Olivia Shellen Mock Collar sweater (nab one for $275 at shopbop.com) and Kate Spade New York’s Post Street Little Nadine bag (find it for $428 at katespade.com). Alice + Olivia creative director Stacey Bendet Instagrammed a photo of Pippa in the sweater, adding, ”How cute is Pippa Middleton in our sweater!” Obviously, we agree—who doesn’t love stripes?
