One common phrase heard around the start of any year is "out with the old and in with the new," but what if some of the trends seen over the past seasons are just too good to toss just yet? 2012 was a fantastic year for men's fashion with retakes on classic pieces and infusions of bright colors. It may be a new year, but these trends are not nearly out of style. Let's take a look at five of 2012's best trends in menswear.... Read More | 
Dec 28, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle KeoghThere is one luxury fashion trend that has been around for hundreds of years and seems to never go out of style. Popular since the 15th Century, lace is and always has been a treasured decorative element due to its delicate workmanship and airy patterns— which is why it’s usually reserved for formal wear, bridal fashion, and elegant accents. But this season, we saw lace make a comeback in both evening wear and ready-to-wear, as both an accent and a main attraction. And if there’s one thing we can say after watching the Spring 2013 shows, it's that lace is here to stay.... Read More | 
Dec 4, 2012 | Contributor: Tina StewartFor celebrities, wearing fur can be an extreme sport with invective-shouting protestors and even the occasional flour bombing (Kim Kardashian). Some unabashedly prefer animal skin, like the Olsens with their $17,000 fur-covered bag designed for their line The Row. No matter what the media sensation of the day, fur is and will remain a luxury fashion item for the affluent during the winter months. For these clients, furrier Adrienne Landau’s ready-to-wear line is creative and easy to wear (aside from the occasional red carpet run-ins).... Read More |

Anyone who can appreciate leggy models, embellished bikinis, and sophisticated lingerie all in the same setting looks forward to this runway show every year.

Oct 25, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle KeoghOne 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 | 
Oct 18, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle KeoghThere’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....

Oct 15, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle Keogh Luxury fashion designer Charlie May is certainly young, but she definitely knows what she’s doing. The 24-year-old graduated from university in England just over two years ago, but is already establishing herself in the cut-throat industry. After working as assistant to London-based designer Thomas Tait for two seasons, May set up shop in the same city to pursue her own label. 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 | 
Oct 5, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle Keogh | 2 CommentsThough 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 | 
Oct 4, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle KeoghParis 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.”...

Sep 25, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle Keogh | 11 CommentsWhile Fashion Week attention transitions from New York City to Milan, one Italian model is making fashion news on runways overseas. A six-months-pregnant Raffaella Fico strutted her stuff for sexy swimwear label Pin-Up Stars on Saturday, garnering applause from some, but scolding from others. On one hand, Fico is just another model doing her job during Fashion Week— how can you frown upon a working mom? But others are frowning upon the pregnant model for bearing almost all in the third trimester of her pregnancy. What do you think? Should pregnant women flaunt their bumps or cover them up?...

Sep 20, 2012 | Contributor: Nicolle Keogh | 2 CommentsIf you’ve ever seen the Bravo Network’s series that showcases the fashion-filled life of luxury designer Rachel Zoe, you won’t be surprised by the looks produced in her new collection for Spring 2013. In it, we see the put together, boho-chic style that the stylist-turned-reality TV star-turned designer is known for. And while we can certainly picture Rachel herself in these garments, we think that they embody a look that many women will love. Zoe’s combination of street style with LA glam produces easy, polished looks for the everyday woman, whether she’s headed to work, cocktail hour, or a shopping date on Rodeo Drive.... Read More | 
Sep 18, 2012 | Contributor: Jennifer Chan | 1 CommentOne of the highlights of New York Fashion Week for me wasn’t the fashion news made at Lincoln Center with mainstream contemporary designers, but rather at the luxurious St. Regis Hotel, where I attended the Dennis Basso Spring/Summer 2013 presentation. I was immediately whisked into a magnificent sparkling fashion wonderland thanks to his stunningly exquisite looks and the sheer opulence of the ballroom.... Read More | | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
