Margiela and Laugesen’s most promising apprentice brings avant guarde to the forefront with a second collection of covetable pieces.

Black is the new Black, even when it comes to beauty. MAC’s new all black collection is literally all black, including eyeliner, lipstick, and nailpolish…

Last night, the fashion people gathered at SoHo Grand to preview the new collection by Rad Hourani. Hourani told Style.com that this unisex line isn’t necessarily a diffusion line (priced from $100-400), but that “this is just more relaxed and easier to wear in cotton and jerseys.”  The line will be available in November online and in stores, perfect timing for these pieces, which include a lot of jackets, vests, super skinny jeans, t shirts, and perfectly draped shorts.  

Judging from the runway and all of the fashionable people there, must-haves for fall:

-guys in heels

-platforms

-destroyed tees

-partially shaved heads (for guys and girls)

-black, black, black

We had the pleasure of seeing the man himself, who was looking fabulous as to be expected.  Other sightings, Kelly Cutrone (who told us that she works out in her cowboy boots), Kate Lanphear, Malcom Harris.

Well, wasn’t that fast? Just last week Fashion Indie announced the introduction of the Comme des Garçons’ BLACK label to the New York area, and voila, the shop, anticipated to stick around for 18 months, opened yesterday beneath beneath the High Line on 10th Ave! Racked reported that the mood around the West Chelsea shop was relatively calm, despite a visit from Lynn Yaeger, while the Barneys pop-up shop received some crazed  business. Most pieces range between $120-$660, and while many items can be passed as unisex, the majority of pieces are for women. So, who else will I see there this weekend?

Thanks Racked!

Oh shit, she know has pool balls at her disposal. Guard your loins.

The all black issue of Italian Vogue is out and it is charged with the kind of spreads that would make any fashionista blush.  We have some sinister shots of Naomi Campbell and a slew of other models who make black beautiful.  The full picts after the jump.
