Jan 28, 2015 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien To think that anyone attends Chanel shows for the chic duds, celebrity-sightings and opportunity to steal a few Chanel-labeled groceries is simple naïve. For Karl Lagerfeld every runway is a spectacle—a theatrical performance entirely unto itself. ... Read More |

Jul 15, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien During Couture Fashion Week, we never know what we’re going to see on the runway. Princess wedding gowns, over-the-top headgear, or dresses made of concrete or carpet (it’s a thing) were all over the catwalk this past week, proving that the designs are anything but predictable. ...

Jul 11, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien Cool! Red carpet looks actually made out of red carpet! Or is it a towel? Either way we never look this good stepping out of the shower—probably because we don’t know how to tie that cool bow… For Viktor and Rolf’s Fall 2014... Read More |

From flip flops to trainers we pretty much fawn over footwear like it’s the end-all, be-all of style—which it is. So when we had the opportunity to speak with Jane Gershon Weitzman—Stuart Weitzman’s leading lady—we couldn’t pass up it up (besides can you just imagine what her closet must look like?). ...
