SHOE ENVY: Jason Wu Fall 2012

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

For Jason Wu‘s Fall 2012 collection, the designer asked “What is Chinese?” Finding he came up with three different answers to the question, the line was created with the military, the Qing Dynasty and the 1930s/40s Hollywood version of China in mind. After taking in the beautiful embroidery and silk tassels, our eyes move immediately to the floor where the strappy studded leather sandals are waiting for our feet to envy. Check out a few of our favorite pairs in the gallery after the jump.

#NYFW Cheat Sheet: Yigal Azrouël AW 2012

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Yigal Azrouël‘s fall 2012 show was dedicated to the “unintentional beauty in mystery” refracted through the lens of a woman both “fearless in her outlook and quiet in her confidence.” And that woman might easily have been Evelyn Mulwray – the heroine from Roman Polanski‘s classic 70s film noir Chinatown – portrayed brilliantly by Faye Dunaway. To wit, Azrouël’s collection mixed the mystery of the film noir femme fatale with the luxe glamour of the 70s then threw a giant raccoon hat on top of it all.
