Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Kate Beckinsale, Over-Accessorized?

It seems ironic that Kate Beckinsale once starred in a film by the title of Uncovered, because the tiny actress ventured out in L.A. yesterday practically hidden by big shades, a gigantic Bally bag, and substantial boots (paired, as it happens, with the shortest of shorts).

Yea, Nay, Or Eh? Lykke Li

Edie Beale isn’t the only one who can rock a turban. The evidence? Little Lykke Li, the Swedish songbird, at the Diesel:U:Music tour last night.

Is It Just Us, Or Was Lady Gaga’s Influence All Over Couture?

Couture Club: Style.com And 1stdibs.com Exclusive Haute Couture Preview

Compared to 1stdibs, eBay is for amateurs. Founded in 2001, the site quickly became the online destination for high-end antiques and twentieth-century design. Last week, 1stdibs announced it was adding vintage couture and designer fashion to its stable. As expected, they have nothing less than a thoroughbred lineup on offer, as fashion expert and independent [...]

Headlining Roskilde: Coldplay, Kanye West, And Designer Henrik Vibskov

The Brits have Glastonbury; the Danes have Roskilde. Drummer-slash-designer Henrik Vibskov will be upping the festival’s fashion quotient this weekend with a pop-up store (I know, we’ve sworn them off, but this one’s different; it’s at a music festival!) that will sell “limited hand-picked samples from previous collections at friendly prices.” Runway darling Agnete Hegelund [...]
