Bed Head

Obsessed with Kate Moss's beyond sexy hair in the new Topshop ads? Well, Fashionista is too. Gold star for whoever has the best advice on how to achieve the look.

Bemused


Nylon chronicles some of the muses of the moment in their latest blog post. My favorite? The fabulous Alexa Chung, of course.

She Had It Coming



Lindsay tells the Times UK that she knew she'd be a target for her Ungaro collection. The gist:

"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I didn't expect everyone to be completely loving the collection. It is the same with everything I have done. I knew that people were going to target me. I am a target. I don't know why I am, but I am, and I accept that."

Oh, Lindsay.

To Luxe or Not to Luxe?

We are apparently back to this notion of luxury shame, and apparently it's hurting the luxury market substantially. Thoughts?

Coveting


I know I've been exhibiting an obsession with bows recently, but a life-long love is not easy to cure!! Donna Karan seems to agree with me, as she designed this gorgeous perfect-for-the-office-presentation-but-also-for-the-party-after outfit. The Bow Tie Wrap Jacket alone makes me want to die smiling.

Retailing for $1,495 at Saks.
(Rolled-Cuff pants are an additional $695.)

Fashion from the UES


Into the prep school scene? Well, the styles they are a-changin'. W Magazine reports that although Blair Waldorf headbands are here to stay, Upper East Side schools are overrun with neon Doc Martins, 80s blazers and pillbox hats. Yes, Jackie O style. Check the crazy interview out for yourself.

The Future of Fashion

Fashion heavyweights like Ashley Olsen, Isaac Mizrahi and fashion critic Robin Givhan gathered at the 92nd Street Y last night to discuss fashion in this time of economic peril and where it's heading next. The Cut did a great little round-up of the event, but here are some highlights:

Mizrahi: "I think that to be stylish you have to connect to something and love it."
Givhan: "I think [Michelle Obama] is a perfect example to them that you can incorporate fashion into your lives..."
Olsen: "For me, when I look at it as a celebrity brand, it's almost silly to me, because I'm not coming from a celebrity standpoint."
