Celebrities’ Punk Rock Selfies From Last Night’s Met Gala

By Chloe Pantazi on

Selfies aren’t just for the layfolk. Even celebrities take them now and again, and last night’s extravagant, punk-themed Met Gala — corresponding with the museum’s latest Costume Institute exhibit, Punk: Chaos to Couture — was an opportune time for the glitterati to take to social media with pictures of their dresses, hairdos, nails, and other accessories (including friends and other fabulous people). We scoured Instagram and Twitter to bring you the best of last night’s selfies. Take a peek through the images below, including a sufficiently punked-up Madonna sporting tartan and rocking a black bob, a very pink Debbie Harry, Katy Perry’s bling-tastic nails, and Zooey Deschanel’s pretty (if questionably punk) hairdo. Oh and, erm, Alicia Keys in a bathrobe. … Read More

The Best of NYFW Interpreted As Obscure Architecture

By Claire Cottrell on

With New York Fashion Week drawing to a close, we thought we’d hand out a few unofficial awards to recap the week of mayhem and highlight what stood out in and around the collections. Given the branded whirlwind the event’s become, we decided to focus back on the art of it all, lest anyone forgot their proverbial way in the cab between Milk and Cafe Gitane. With comparisons to similarly inspiring work from our other favorite design discipline, we’ve given the genius some context, illustrating that the new guard is taking fashion to another level entirely.

From Prabal Gurung’s mind blowing show to the best street style moments, the week has solidly confirmed that New York City is the place to be if you’re a young designer today. Click through to see our unconventional round up of the week’s best and brightest, and then let us know in the comments what collections, events, or escapades made an impact on you. … Read More

By Caroline Stanley on

We’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Jason Wu for Target collection since it was first announced back in October with this lovely sketch of a black cocktail dress. Now, thanks to The Moment, we’ve gotten a sneak peek at a few of the items that we’ll be fighting to score when the clothes hit stores on February 5. “My goal was not to duplicate anything from my main collection,” explains Wu, who says that inspiration for these “gamine chic” pieces came from French New Wave films and the actress Jean Seberg. “Instead I designed completely new clothes and accessories that reflect my taste and have a voice of their own.” Click through for a closer look at the poplin dress/satchel combo, as well as teaser video for the collection. … Read More
