But all supermodels were newbies at one point, with a small social media following, a smaller portfolio and a dream of making it big. In an attempt to discover the newest Binx Walton or Cara Delevingne, we’ve searched for the most exciting new faces this Fashion Month.... Read More
Today, Italian fashion house Miu Miu released a fascinating and addictive mobile app called Miu Miusic, that lets users make their own videos using clips from the brand's latest collections and runway shows.

This year, Los Angeles-based firm Distinctive Assets has assembled a goodie bag filled with some of the most extravagant (and absurd) gifts for nominees who don’t walk away with a little gold statue (which is reportedly only worth a measly $900 anyway)....

There is no denying that bloggers are the latest fashion “It” girls. We follow them on Instagram, defer to their expertise on seasonal colors and double-tap our way through their feed. Being a top "influencer" in this climate can bring a socially savvy lady with a large and dedicated fanbase some serious cash. So exactly how much is your favorite blogger making every time you heart their pic?... Read More
