Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen drew inspiration from the Big Apple for the fall 2012 collection of denim line TEXTILE Elizabeth & James. New York’s streets, bars, clubs and people helped the industrious design duo find the direction for fall, with their typical strict attention paid to TEXTILE’s fits and washes. Ranging from $168 to $258, TEXTILE E&J’s jeans hit Bergdorf Goodman and Denim Habit on May 7, then online at Shopbop on May 30. Check out the fall 2012 lookbook, styled by Catherine Newell-Hanson, shot by Jason McDonald and featuring doe-eyed model Bambi.

Better yet? These shoes make far greater statements than that of the weather; they will express your sheer contentment and stunning outlook.

LOOKBOOKS editor-in-chief Cator Sparks explores the lost art of fashion illustration with artist Katy Smail. See the interview and fantastic gallery of her whimsical work below.
With the amount of air brushing going on these days, models in magazines look nearly good enough to hang in the Louvre. Their skin so dewy, their teeth so white and their eyes so clear, so it only make sense that the fashion world is rediscovering the lost art of illustration.
