Every once in a while, a resort collection will come along that challenges the assumption of clean-cut pastels that have become typical— and expected— of cruise lines. This year, Bottega Veneta fits that bill with a selection of printed and patterned garments that speak to the brand’s Italian roots. Founded in 1966 in Vicenza, the label began as a producer of leather goods but has since grown to include women’s and men’s ready-to-wear along with jewelry, furniture, and more.... Read More
Where is the line drawn between fashion and art? The divide between the two can be confusing, but whatever the case, the designs of Joanne Stoker— whether they’re considered fashion or sheer art— are simply stunning.... Read More
Sometimes we come across a collection that is so perplexing, so eyebrow-raising, that we have to dig a little deeper than what meets the eye and try to put ourselves in the shoes of the designer. What was his or her vision? What was the inspiration? Those facets aren’t always immediately obvious, and that is the case for the Fall 2013 collection by Martina Spetlova.... Read More
The weather’s warming up, and if you haven’t thought about what you’re going to wear next to the water this summer, you’re already a step behind. When it comes to lounging at the pool or relaxing on the beach, your swimwear from high school just won’t cut it. Luckily, Aguaclara Swimwear has you covered.... Read More
If there’s anyone that knows how to do a bandage dress, it’s the team at Hervé Léger by Max Azria. Whether or not the brand invented the style is debatable, but one thing we can say with confidence is that Hervé Léger by Max Azria finds a way to prove season after season that there are infinite ways to strut the body-con style. For Spring 2013, it’s with patchwork-inspired designs that add a fresh complexity to a classic silhouette.... Read More
Any woman looking for a new pair of shoes to throw on this summer need not look any further than Carlo Pazolini. For more than two decades the luxury shoe designer has been integrating his passion for modern Italian style and his knack for expert craftsmanship to provide quality and forward-looking style for men and women in Italy. In late 2011, Americans finally got a taste of the designer’s luxe creations when the brand opened 10 stores in the United States with a flagship in New York City’s SoHo.... Read More
Anyone who thinks that current fashion trends aren't affected by the media has obviously not seen such popular period pieces as Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey, and Mad Men,to name a few. Each of these hits has a loyal audience— and it shows on the runway when designers start borrowing ideas from what they see on their televisions. Over the last year, perhaps the biggest trend in the fashion world— both on and off the runway — has been 1920’s innuendos thanks to The Great Gatsby which will be released later this week....

You know those fashion catalogues you get in the mail that you bring to the couch and ogle over every page you flip through (usually wishing you could be just as cool as the model of said brand)? Well that’s how we feel whenever we see a new lookbook from womenswear label Rae Francis in our inboxes. The New York-based contemporary line does their thing for Summer 2013 by combining uptown and downtown looks to create a versatile collection no matter what borough you’re headed to.... Read More
Lately we’ve been taking a trip down memory lane and looking at the way past decades and time periods influence today's fashion trends. The ‘20s are making a roaring comeback with The Great Gatsby and pin-up styles of the ‘50s can be seen in modern swimwear. But we can’t help but notice the nod to the Forties that hit the runways at the most recent fashion shows. In the case of Fall 2013, we can say with pure confidence that history certainly repeats itself, thanks to sightings of slim skirts, shapely blazers, and frilly furs, of course.... Read More
While certain movements have committed to promoting healthier body types for women in the media, most of what we still see on the silver screen, the red carpet, and the runways suggests that (and encourages) society’s view of the “perfect woman” is something of a long-legged, rail-thin creature with the kinds of body measurements that only pre-teen girls could possess. But recent findings of a vintage article show what was considered Hollywood’s best figure back in 1931, and you may be shocked at the results.... Read More
April showers aside, there are many reasons why we love this month— Earth Day being one of them. Though the mention of Earth Day reminds us of sticky blue and green arts and crafts projects from elementary school, now that we’re all grown up, we can celebrate living sustainably in a more fashionable way. Eco-conscious clothing is nothing new, but the trend has definitely gained momentum, attention, and support in the last few years. If you’re looking for a stylish way to celebrate our abundant Earth this Monday and any other day of the year, look no further than these eco-friendly fashion lines that make not only our planet a priority, but your style, too....

The best luxury designers tend to be held up on a pedestal, their dreadful blunders and embarrassing moments casually overlooked for fashion’s sake. While we admittedly have strong obsessions with most luxury designers, we can’t overlook the few times that they made (or almost made) devastating mistakes. And so, to remove that diamond encrusted halo that hovers oh so perfectly over most of their heads, we decided to compile a list of the five worst moments from our favorite style icons. From cringe-worthy collections to moves that could have ruined their careers, here is our list of the worst moments from some of world's best designers.... Read More

Posh and put-together, the outfits certainly contain that quintessential Ralph Lauren appeal along with one of our favorite fall looks: black on black on black. The mixture of dark hues coupled with Ralph Lauren's sophisticated style results in a collection that blends Old World elegance and contemporary prep.... Read More
Having made a dramatic entrance on to the fashion scene with the unveiling of his debut collection in early 2011, luxury designer Ethan Koh was quickly billed as one to watch.

This March, 25-year-old Ohioan Jenna Petardi enjoyed an experience of her Hollywood dreams courtesy of JustLuxe and Project Ethos. Normally, Jenna “never enters online sweepstakes,” but said she was drawn to “Mingle with The Masters” and a chance to win access inside the world of high cuisine, fashion or art. Presented by Lincoln Motor Company and the all-new 2013 Lincoln MKZ, Jenna found the sweepstakes right here on JustLuxe who powered the sweepstakes.... Read More
After Elie Saab’s Spring Haute Couture show, we couldn’t imagine a ready-to-wear collection that would be able to top its splendor. However, this is one of those rare occasions when a luxury designer has the ability to put out dazzling designs season after season. While the couture collection was a back-to-back lineup of jaw-dropping garments and red carpet-ready dresses, the selection of ready-to-wear items for fall brilliantly focuses on a jewel-tone color palate with intricate details that can only be considered innately “Elie Saab.”...

Always on the pulse of current events— her designs were front and center at 2011's Royal Wedding— Sarah Burton’s latest creations for Alexander McQueen arrive amid the announcement of a new Pope. Fit for the occasion, the label's Fall 2013 ready-to-wear collection ushers in the likes of Communion dresses, cardinal robes, and high fashion favored during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Although only a true aristocrat of fashion might be able to pull off one of Burton's gilded headpieces, these stunning looks sure do make one appreciate the talents of a luxury designer.... Read More
When it comes to fashion, luxury designer Karl Lagerfeld certainly doesn't disappoint. Sure, there are plenty of times when we simply wish he would take an extra second to think before he constructs one of his all-too-famous snarky remarks; however, when it comes to constructing a truly exquisite ensemble, Mr. Lagerfeld has an innate ability that should never be doubted.
Chanel is one particular brand that is known for its textured pieces that have the rare ability to withstand the test of time, and it is clear that Lagerfeld has remained true to this design theme with bold silhouettes in a variety of interesting materials.... Read More
To say that Cara Delevingne is one of today’s “it” girls would be an understatement— she is the “it” girl. You might think that becoming the face of a major luxury brand (we’re looking at you, Burberry) by the age of 20 requires years of agonizing auditions, tireless networking, and equal parts blood, sweat and tears, but Cara Delevingne is known for more than just her eyebrows. Descending from a long line of high society Brits, we think it’s pretty safe to say that it was only a matter of time before Cara stepped into the spotlight, herself.... Read More
Luxury designer Miuccia Prada offers fans a series of playful impressions alongside some seriously striking silhouettes in her women's fall collection for Miu Miu. The line's tone for autumn is a bit dreamy, replete with moody colors and theatrical shapes. Though darkly romantic, splashes of color do appear in the form of bright, diagonally striped skirts that peek out from under long coats and colorful neckties that sit primly atop polka-dotted ensembles....

In contrast to his upcoming women's collection that consists of bright colors and loud prints, the men’s ready-to-wear line by luxury designer Tom Ford focuses on natural hues and ensembles constructed from layers of matching fabrics.

It seems pretty apparent that DSquared2's latest ready-to-wear collection is honoring the post-war glam of the Forties, channeling the sensual looks found in the smoke-filled jazz clubs of the era. Luxury designers Dean and Dan Caten tap into the vibrant period to draw inspiration for their women's fall line, featuring an array of accessories combined with a wide palette of rich colors and textures. All-in-all, the result is a collection with looks that are truly over-the-top.... Read More

Here's a recap of what the stars wore to the 2013 Academy Awards, which were held on February 24 at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.... Read More
As a designer, Marc Jacobs is known for imitating the street style of the cool kids. Previously borrowing elements of grunge and punk for his designs, Jacobs is at it again with his Fall luxury menswear collection for 2013. Reaching back through time to the 1950's, the men's clothing for Marc by Marc Jacobs might remind some onlookers of their younger days, when they sifted through racks of tuxedo pants, windbreakers, rockabilly blazers, and the patterned suits. Although not groundbreaking, the collection does take us back to a style that was revolutionary in its day.... Read More
What could be more stylish than slipping into an embroidered kimono top for a special night out? For this year's spring and summer collections, we are excited to see a trend among many designers towards Asian themes, complete with cherry blossoms, exotic shoes, and origami shapes. With so much attention towards the Far East nowadays, it is only natural that some luxury designers are honoring Chinese and Japanese traditions in their lines with specific fabrics and cuts that come from those regions. And with the recent celebration of the Chinese New Year, this trend couldn't be more fitting.... Read More
Legendary Italian sports car marque Lamborghini turns 50 this year, and to help celebrate the brand is launching a new luxury fashion collection that encapsulates its motto of “a hundred years of innovation in half the time.”... Read More
A complete 180-degree turn from Altuzarra’s spring collection of dazzling prints and fresh colors, luxury designer Joseph Altuzarra has moved towards a more refined and elegant silhouette for Fall 2013. Sculpted and form-fitting, the label's new garments showcase a happy medium between sex appeal and class. With modern technology and our desire for instant gratification, trends are forced to constantly evolve; therefore, Altuzarra's ready-to-wear collection for fall is said to be inspired by the ever-changing and multi-faceted aspects of style found on the street....

Ever since Mr. F. Scott Fitzgerald created the legendary character Jay Gatsby, his casual cool sophistication and style has been something that men covet and women swoon over. Not surprisingly, the eternally dapper Robert Redford played the role of Gatsby in the movie rendition in the 1970’s and the remake scheduled to hit theaters this summer will star hunky heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio. It is not good looks alone that make these men so desirable, as they both display an extra edge and masculine charm that has set them above the rest. The same can be said for the luxury collection by Robert Talbott inspired by The Great Gatsby.... Read More
Elements of extreme roller skating, '90s grunge, and the notorious band of bikers in Hell's Angels can all be found in Gilded Age's men's collection for fall. The runway show appropriately took place at Chez André, an underground karaoke club in the Bowery neighborhood of New York City. This neon pink-infused environment combines rock 'n' roll, fashion, and a twinge of destruction— making it the ideal stage for luxury designer Stefan Miljanic's latest collection.... Read More
Unafraid of taking traditional silhouettes and spicing them up with interesting details and flashy elements, luxury designer Mathieu Mirano’s recent runway show for his Fall 2013 collection featured an array of asymmetrical designs and surprising cut-outs.

After decades of being the go-to brand for stylish and adventurous gentleman, Nautica has just celebrated their 30 year anniversary with a memorable and inspired collection of menswear during New York fashion week.... Read More
We can truly appreciate a luxury designer who is bold enough to rebel against creating ensembles that simply incorporate different variations of black, brown and navy— a characteristic that is typical of many fall collections. Alexandre Herchcovitch breaks the mold by designing structured clothing whose intricate shapes take inspiration from the array of flowers found in nature— furthermore, vibrant pops of color against a more toned-down palette reflect the natural hues that can be found in gardens and rainforests.... Read More
Described as a “cocktail" collection (and if that’s the case, we will gladly take a drink) by designers Sharon Wauchob and Ricky Hendry of luxury brand EDUN, the label's Fall 2013 collection drew inspiration from a variety of different subcultures, including mod, biker and grunge looks. By depicting a range of different scenes and eras, the designs are surprisingly cohesive and ensembles were strikingly put together at the New York Fashion Week runway show.... Read More
Boyish and modern, the DKNY Fall 2013 ready-to-wear collection for men remains in line with previous collections by the luxury brand with a youthful urban appeal that manages to uphold a structured and professional aesthetic. Living in the city gives way to many quality experiences that others covet— including access to some of the best food in the world, top-notch events practically every night of the week, and a wide array of interesting characters to converse with. But when it comes to dealing with the cold winter months, the task of maintaining a put together look that is both functional and warm is anything... Read More

There is something so enchanting about a powerful woman wearing delicate luxury intimates. In recent years, this juxtaposition of a strong woman donning soft lingerie has taken the backseat to intimate apparel with little detail and obvious— at times even vulgar— sex appeal. But New York-based lingerie designer Melissa Franchi thinks old school— more specifically, Old Hollywood glamour, with Nevaeh Intimates.... Read More
Missoni, the Italian fashion house synonymous with distinct and unique style, is finally making positive fashion news, despite the pending mystery of its missing executive whose plane disappeared last month. The luxury brand known for its colorful patterns has surprisingly never before created a custom print for another company… until now.

Fans know what to expect from avant-garde fashion house Maison Martin Margiela — the unexpected.

Read on to discover our top picks from Copenhagen Fashion Week 2013.... Read More
In order for a ready-to-wear collection to be successful, it has to ring true to its name and actually be wearable. The difficulty with this (especially when it comes to menswear) is that your average guy— no matter how style-savvy he claims to be— is not going to be caught parading around with anything that screams "fashion." Attaining the disheveled-chic look is far more difficult than one would guess, however, luxury designer Christophe Lemaire has successfully created a diverse range of men’s pieces that can be worn day-to-day and combine quiet style with comfort....

At long last spring is almost upon us. While we would be lying if we said we didn’t thoroughly enjoy all the dark and dramatic hues we have been able to rock this winter, we are certainly ready to let go of this Elvira-esque look we have adopted and embrace some fresh colors of the new season. Luxury brand Ronen Chen’s newest spring collection provides the ideal transition to warmer weather and that are just as appropriate for a morning meeting as they are for a weekend vacation....

If you’ve got a thing for tailored comfort, then luxury designer Kris Van Assche’s menswear collection for Fall 2013 may just be for you.

With delicate lace and different degrees of transparency, Elie Saab’s Spring haute couture luxury collection falls right in line with its aptly titled description, “ode to delicateness.”... Read More
Givenchy’s talented luxury designer, Riccardo Tisci, is perhaps best known to the general public for his ferocious graphics. Last season, for example, his angry dog T-shirt was worn by a multitude of celebrities and subsequently found scattered all throughout the blogosphere. While this season’s menswear collection for fall still features interesting graphics, they are far less "rabid dog" and much more religious and reminiscent of Latin culture.... Read More
If ever there were an enchanted forest in real life, it was the one seen at last week’s Chanel show held at the Grand Palais in Paris, at which designer Karl Lagerfeld presented his Couture collection for the luxury brand. Actual trees and shrubbery were shipped in one-by-one to the venue at which Lagerfeld has presented in the past. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was apparently the inspiration for the show, and the actual collection is just as fascinating as the set itself....

Luxury designer Thom Browne has been making headlines as of late due to his stunning designs that were recently worn by the always-stylish FLOTUS, Michelle Obama, to her husband’s public swearing-in ceremony.

While February may be known as the month of love, this year there is a dazzling event that has us drooling more than any box of truffles ever could (an extremely difficult thing to accomplish, might we add.) This February marks the debut of quintessential New York City luxury brand Alice + Olivia’s handbag collection. Our favorite fashionista and fit mommy, Gwyneth Paltrow, was lucky enough to get her hands on one of these chic bags before they even hit stores— and not surprisingly, she is already a fan....

Burberry opened its autumn/ winter RTW show at Milan’s fashion week to the awakening sound of cathedral church bells against a darkened city-scape background — London of course. Are they heralding something new and exciting? Most likely, because Christopher Bailey, Chief Creative Director of Burberry since 2009, has been revamping the brand significantly during his tenure — modernizing the heritage classic, and ushering it into the technological age.... Read More
Have you ever really stopped to think about the presentation of plants? Well, probably not, but not everyone thinks in the same fashion as the luxury designer of top design house Dior, Raf Simons. As Simons so shrewdly noted, there is a major difference between mere flora and manicured gardens. This distinction led the designer to allow artificial colors and nature-inspired shapes appear throughout the collection with a show premise that was said by Simons to be inspired by “the very idea of spring.”...

If a company contacts us and says it sells premium luxury suits for less than $700, we are going to try to find out as much as possible before writing about it. The online clothier, 7 Regent Lane, is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based startup that opened its website in late January, 2012. Two business students from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, along with another partner, launched it when they found a gap in the market for impressive bespoke suits....

Sleek and chic cocktail dresses and gorgeous flowing gowns are usually what we see walk the runway at Giambattista Valli’s luxury fashion shows; even Jessica Biel agrees, wearing a custom pink couture creation for her nuptials.

The hope is to get the men's sector to account for 10 to 15 percent of the label's total sales over the next three to five years. Currently, it accounts for between 7 and 8 percent of total Valentino sales.... Read More
A new exhibit that celebrates the work of luxury fashion maven Gabrielle Chanel at China's Guangzhou Opera House is unlike the label's Beijing and Shanghai exhibits in the same country. While the latter two take a biographical approach to commemorate the iconic designer, the new exhibit, which will run today through March 3, is thematically based on a ballet called Le Train Bleu,for which Chanel designed the costumes. The display is meant to showcase the designer's modern lifestyle and involvement in the arts by featuring 400 pieces, including Chanel jewelry and apparel— both new and old— as well as sketches, books, and manuscripts from other artists and writers and accompanying photos and videos of Chanel and her friends....

When it comes to luxury menswear, there’s one label that the gents can rely on from season to season for an all-American look from head-to-toe. Ralph Lauren has been doing just that each season, and without fail, for the past several decades. As is typical of the brand, preppy pastels and patterns are plentiful in the upcoming spring collection, but the New York-based designer manages to come up with something new by providing a hint of Native American print and giving a generous nod to the most underappreciated neutral of them all: brown....

The search Vittorio Missoni continues nearly a week after the tiny plane carrying the luxury fashion executive and four other people went missing off the coast of Venezuela; however, the company said Wednesday that the label's menswear show that is slated to take place Sunday in Milan will still go on. It has not yet been confirmed, but it is understood by the fashion community that family members will not be in attendance of Sunday's show, as 385 search-and-rescue specialists, including the Venezuelan authorities as well as naval and flight experts from Italy, continue searching for Missoni, his wife, their two guests and the pilot who were in the plane....
