Review: Martin Margiela: In His Own Words + How to Watch It In the U.S.
Margiela's departure from his historic label, the film shows unprecedented footage and details from some of the most legendary shows. If you're wondering, it's much, much, much better than the snore-fest of the Dries documentary by the same director/producer Reiner Holzemer.
Remembering Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2010
Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2010 was by far one of the most iconic shows Miu Miu has ever done, at least in our opinion. It was like some kind of exotic remote control goddess putting all the things we love in a colored glass bottle.
Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali
Possibly one of the most interesting collaborations of all time? The work of Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali. Schiaparelli (1890-1973), an Italian fashion designer , collaborated with Salvador Dali (1904-1989), taking a few of his artworks to literal terms.

Style Inspiration: Pierrot le Fou
Pierrot le Fou (1965) is a French film directed by Jean-Luc Godard, and you should definitely watch it now only for the retro Techincolor hues, but for the style inspiration alone. It follows the events of a man who runs away with his nanny and former flame, Marianne (Anna Karina), as they travel further and further into the South of France in attempt to find Marianne's "brother", as well as in attempt to escape the Algerian gangsters she happens to be involved with.

Carl Erickson, Fashion Illustrator to Remember
Meet Carl Erickson, the pioneering illustrator known for his work at the for Vogue and Coty cosmetics right after the urn of the century.

Noir Kei Ninomiya Fall 2020
Although it's true that fashion week is finally over, there's one show in particular that's still on our minds: Noir Kei Ninomiya Fall 2020. Each season, the Japanese designer (part of the Comme des Garcons umbrella), creates some of the most spellbinding pieces, and Fall 2020 was no exception.
Iris Schieferstein’s Bizarre Shoes
While browsing for strange shoes online the other day, I came across something I've never seen before: uniquely bizarre shoes by the German artist, Iris Schieferstein. Something envisioned with the prospect of "new". But, more than epitomizing "new", these shoes deftly illustrated "avant-garde", and shoes as a new form of art. These are the type of shoes that could zealously sit upon one's dresser or other piece of furniture, simply to sit there. Simply to generate conceptions and foster conversations. This blank and rigidly stiff, fresh off-white canvas, smelling still as the back of the dusty local art store awaits dialogue and discussion. Let the world as one enjoy these pieces of bizarre artistry.

Glossier Skywash: The Review

Glossier describes its new Skywash eye shadow as "A soft wash of matte color for eyes. Liquid-to-powder eyeshadow that gives a diffused, soft effect."

And while Miyake may have "retired" from the active fashion world in 1997, he continues to oversee the overall direction of all lines created by his company, with individual lines designed by his staff. For the spring 2020 collection, however, the new appointed design director Satoshi Kondo has brought a fresh new life into the brand, solidifying it as one of the most exciting labels to watch for 2020.
Style Icon: Emma Peel
Emma Peel - super spy! Played by Diana Rigg, she was the shining star of the 1960's adventure series, The Avengers (definitely not related to the Marvel franchise). Emma Peel is amazing for a number of reasons, of course, one of the most important being her sense of style. But put simply, Emma Peel is the ultimate '60s style icon.
