Mila Kunis’s Golden Globes Dress Was Made in Four Days

Jan 16, 2011 @ 9:15 pm

Mila Kunis didn’t pick a dress off the runway or off the rack for her Golden Globes appearance, where she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. It was all custom. “This dress came as a sketch,” the Black Swan actress told us at the Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles, where she was dressed in a black Nini Ricci look. “We had tried on other dresses. Then, this sketch came in and we thought the sketch was beautiful. In four days, this person made the dress, and whipped it up!” Kunis’s custom creation turned out to be an emerald green one-shoulder gown by Vera Wang (shown). How speedy Wang was in creating her beautiful look!

Olivier Theyskens Takes Over at Theory

Oct 25, 2010 @ 12:20 pm

Best known for his work at major French houses Rochas and Nina Ricci, the supremely talented Olivier Theyskens has now been named creative director at the decidedly all-American Theory. You may recall that the Belgian designer also has a capsule collection for the label, Olivier Theyskens for Theory. While he will continue that line, now Olivier will take the reigns at Theory overall as well. His first collection, according to WWD, is expected next season. We can’t wait to see how his darkly romantic signature translates into sleek, contemporary workwear.

What Happens Leading Up to Fashion Week? Watch The Day Before

Sep 4, 2010 @ 1:27 pm

With Fashion Week rapidly approaching, the Sundance Channel will return with their series, The Day Before, to remind us of all the pre-show madness. The miniseries, which will air from September 8 to September 13, will feature six designers—Diane Von Furstenberg, Versace, Alexander Wang, Narciso Rodriguez, Nina Ricci and Jeremy Scott—on the eve of their Fall 2010 runway shows. We’re especially looking forward to self-described “drama queen” Donatella Versace’s episode (airing Sept. 9), where we’ll get to see the house of Versace prepare for their extravagant runway show in Milan. “It’s time to question everything,” says Versace of her looming show. “It’s torture!” Check out the teaser clip above.

The following is a guest post from one of our favorite shopping destinations, Decadestwo.

Decadestwo Senior Buyer Billy Garcia‘s sartorial selections demand serious attention. In fact, Garcia was once pulled out of line at the movies by the LA Times so that they could snap his mid-to-late ’80s Versace-meets-Gaultier outfit. So when we asked Garcia to put together a look for InStyle.com that embodied his vision of contemporary glamour, he didn’t disappoint, mixing a razor-cut Givenchy dress with a silver statement necklace from Marc Jacobs (left), a boxy snakeskin clutch by Bally and a pair of gunmetal leather wedges courtesy of Nina Ricci.
