There are beautiful shoes and then there are Anyi Lu works of art. The must-have fall collection by the luxury shoe designer includes the "Vanessa" ankle boot and the "Rachel" calf boot. We love the uber soft aubergine suede Rachel boot handmade in Italy. Each shoe and boot is created using some of the best materials available and contains minimalist hardware and subtle textures....

There are a few reasons why we love fall, and most— if not all— of those reasons are fashion-related. While sundresses and cut-off shorts are fun and all, there’s really nothing better than snuggling into the coziness of luxury fashion items for fall and winter. And while outerwear should be warm, don’t think that you have to succumb to shapeless puffy vests and down jackets to get you through the colder months. There are plenty of chic coat styles out there— and the best news is that these styles are fashion-forward but also timeless, meaning that you’ll get good use out of them for years to come....

One reason why we look forward to luxury fashion shows is that while we get to “ooh” and “ahh” at our favorite established designers, we’re also given the opportunity of being surprised by a few newcomers. This season, one such designer is Maria Korovilas, who graced us with her first collection last week at L.A. Fashion Week.... Read More
Eleni T may be a relatively unknown name in the modeling industry, but that won’t last for long after her recent campaign shots for Lascivious. The stunning model isn’t shy in the luxury lingerie brand’s look book for this season, posing in a number of suggestive positions and bearing all in a few. Needless to say, we won’t be surprised if images of this pretty lady start appearing on every college boy’s dorm room wall— like, now.... Read More
Hackett London is a brand with a long-standing history behind its name. The luxury menswear label was founded in 1979 by two friends, Jeremy Hackett and Ashley Lloyd-Jennings, who met while shopping for second-hand classic British fashion in London’s Portobello Market. The two successfully began selling vintage menswear as vendors in the same market, and opened their own Hackett standalone store on London’s New Kings Road four years later. In 1985 they finally began selling their own creations, and today the brand is comprised of six lines— including menswear, formal knit, tailoring, eyewear, accessories and even children’s wear....

Oh, autumn. Our favorite thing about this season— aside from apple picking, carving pumpkins, and going on hayrides— is the cozy luxury fashion we get to wear while doing all those chilly outdoor activities. Knitted gloves, cozy hats, and our favorite, most versatile accessory of them all: scarves. Though they may bring up haunting memories of the chunky wool monsters that your mother lovingly dressed you in as a child, if you get the right material and know how to wear them, scarves can actually become your best friend and number one sidekick in the colder months. Below, we round up some of our favorites from high-end labels that will ensure you’re looking stylish while staying warm this season.... Read More
Wearing sleepwear as outerwear has been a major runway hit this past season, but when it actually comes to dressing for the bedroom, many of us throw luxury fashion out the window and resort to oversized t-shirts or worn out garments. Monica Nassif, founder of Sofia Graydon, discovered that when searching for a pair of luxury pajamas, there were none to be found. Style isn’t something that you should be able to take off once you go to sleep, and Nassif’s goal became to create the most luxurious, elegant and beautifully made lounge and sleepwear to bring style and elegance back into the bedroom....

There’s an infatuation with super models that extends far beyond the luxury fashion world and consumes people from all walks of life with different interests. Much like society’s obsession with celebrities and their doings, we’re just as interested— if not more— with supermodels, possibly due to the lack of inside information we have on them.... Read More
Luxury fashion designer Charlie May is certainly young, but she definitely knows what she’s doing.

With two successful collections already under her belt, she recently presented her most recent creations for Spring 2013 at her very first runway show.... Read More
Whether you’re running to hail a cab, booking it to Starbucks on your coffee break, or trying to make a dinner date on time, you need a good pair of luxury shoes to get you through the never-ending list of appointments you have this fall. While plenty of the fall shoe collections coming out from our favorite designers make us giddy, there’s nothing worse than those few pairs that are actual pieces of art on the shelf, but are basically unrealistic on our feet. Unlike skinny stilettos that make you feel like you’re constantly teetering, the new Autumn Collection from Carlo Pazolini provides sturdy footwear to (and through) your everyday activities....

Max and Parisa Fowles take the meaning behind the term “teamwork” to a different level. The husband-wife duo are the creative minds behind luxury fashion brand MAXFOWLES.

The label’s Femme Winter Collection for 2012 is its first, and from what we can tell, the couple are off to a good (and stylish) start.... Read More
If you don’t have 20/20 vision, then you most likely either wear glasses or contacts, or you get migraines all the time.

There is something to be said about slipping into an Italian-made piece of luxury clothing and stepping out to take on the world.

Though the leaves are just starting to change color, spring is already in the air— or at least in the world of luxury fashion, it is. And even though it was just this week that we enjoyed our much-anticipated first pumpkin spice lattes of the year, designers like Elie Saab are already getting us giddy about next season. From New York to Paris, the runways are covered in pastels and florals that have us already looking forward to the spring ahead.... Read More
Paris Fashion Week went out with a bang by with the debut of Chanel’s ready-to-wear collection for Spring/Summer 2013. The luxury brand, whose last several clothing lines have been designed by Karl Lagerfeld, presented a refined collection that referenced the 1960s. The ever-shocking Lagerfeld sent models down a runway equipped with solar panels and wind turbines, of all things, to represent the designer’s idea that, “Energy is the most important thing in life.”...

The Emmys last week officially marked the start of Awards Season— and with that, luxury designer name-dropping. After watching all the Red Carpet recaps last week, we realized there was one designer’s name that we kept hearing over and over again: Oliver Tolentino. And after doing a little research on the new designer, not only are we impressed with his resumé that is already sprinkled with big-name celebrities, but his unconventional approach to luxury women’s fashion is intriguing, as well....
