In the post-millennial pop culture landscape, there is one name that stands a stiletto taller than the rest: Beyoncé.

Best & Worst Dressed Girl Groups of All Time

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Girl groups: They sing. They dance. They look good. They inspire little girls to be a little slutty in their formative years. And some have done it better than others. Their outfit choices were integral with their success. As you’ll see on this list, the best dressed have risen to the top, while the ‘hos and the boring kind of fizzled after the hits. Which songbirds sizzled? And which go No no no no no?

DESIGNER DAILY: Alice McCALL

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Alice McCall knows what women want to wear right now. Sheer palazzo pants, bold prints over bright stripes, prairie-leaning leather shorts and bell sleeves with eyelets have landed her in over 165 stores in 10 countries. This Aussie got her fashionable start in London working for MTV styling the Stylissimo series, where she got the opportunity to dress Natalie Imbruglia. From there she launched her own styling firm Torn and thus has worked with lady powerhouses like Kelis, Destiny’s Child , Blondie and Marianne Faithful. During this time, she started selling her one-off 50s inspired silk print tops that were snatched up by Kate Moss and influential others. After stints designing for companies like Buddhist Punk, she launched her own label Alice McCALL in 2004. And here we are, Fall 2012. 

Baby Blue Ivy Carter is a Star! Already Featured in New Jay-Z Song, Glory

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Glory! Jay-Z serenades his baby Blue Ivy for all of us to hear. And she serenades us back! Her first cries have been immortalized in this song that Hova whipped up and had produced by Pharrell. Lyrics like “Baby I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you,” and “You’re the child of destiny, you’re the child of my destiny, you’re my child with the child from Destiny’s Child. That’s a hell of a recipe,” kind of make melt my heart.

Good afternoon my fashion friends. It’s been a few weeks since I last checked in with you guys and I’d like to wish you all a happy bikini season!  And so it’s story-time my well-dressed readers…

Former Assistant Goes Inside Beyoncé and Jay Z’s Relationship

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

And bores the hell out of me. You’d think a former assistant to the biggest diva on the planet would have something better to say than: “I soon realized that the passion hidden behind Beyonce‘s vocals was fueled by her devotion and love for none other than Jay Z.”  I’m just going to assume that Jessica LaShawn was obligated to sign a non-disclosure agreement tighter than B’s weave so I will act as translator to figure out what’s really fueling this relationship. An early guess: cocaine and sex parties.

Hey Everyone, It’s Last Season Black Barbie!!!

Edited by Saynt

With the exception of that one time I was a guest of the Tyra Banks show, I really have never seen it. My guess is that it’s all about Tyra and her wacky adventures in Discount Fashionland, which is why I believe she felt the need to pose around Soho in high heels from DSW and last seasons Herve Ledger dress. Either that or she’s auditioning for a role in Destiny’s Child the movie.

Is That? It Can’t Be? It Is! Why?

Edited by Corey Moran

Since it’s freezing in Boston today, I decided to do some posts in front of the TV today. I decided to watch Bravo’s The Fashion Show for the first time ever today, which is what has spawned this post of confusion. Why in the hell is Kelly Rowland the host? What fashion credibility does she even have, because we have all seen the camo laden “Survivor” video. I think this really takes away from the legitimacy of the show a lot.

What do you think indies, with all the fashion people who would clearly love to be a part of this show, Why would they chose Kelly Rowland?

I lovez you Tina!

Indies, in case none of you received the note I sent via carrier pigeon, I personally have a crush on Mrs. Tina Knowles *singing Here’s to you Mrs Robinson/Jesus loves you more than you will know*. Hot old chicks rock! However, anytime anyone starts peddlin’ wares on HSN, my spidey sense starts tingling and I get a huge rash on my butt the shape of Texas. We all know that the whole House of Dereon thing hasn’t gone so well since most of what they’ve put out can only be worn on stage ‘Survivin’ with Destiny’s Child or pattin yo weave on the set of Single Ladies. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still drank Beyonce’s bathin’ water after a rough and sweaty world tour but Dereon wasn’t what I thought it would be………………or actually it’s exactly what I thought it would be *sad face/disappointment in life*.

Everything’s just so random and the word “cohesive” is like a child no one wanted but no one had the courage to get rid of so they just ignore it. I stang by how yummi Tina Knowles make me feel on the inside part but it’s time to put this project sleep in the sweet rest of Jesus and euthanasia. Of course, I am talking about HSN and that’s where fashion is murdered slowly along with your salary. Which brings me to my 2nd point, I’ll be starting an HSN rehabilitation group soon……..not for me, for you………really………..don’t judge Z’maji!

I’m Over It: The Fanta Girl Look

Edited by Kirby Marzec

These days its really nice to see people commit themselves to one another. With the high rate of infidelity and whatnot during the past decade, it’s always comforting to see a devout husband reject a night with the guys, flirting with college girls at the local Hooters or a best friend turn down free tickets to Saturday Night Live to watch you butcher it at open mic night. But this, the Fanta girl look, has taken commit to a whole new, disturbing level. Why has it become necessary for chick bands to dress alike? If it isn’t the same outfit in a different color, it is the same color scheme with similar accessories! Please ladies, where is the individuality? Feast your eyes:

The Fanta Girls

TLC

3LW

The Spice Girls

Destiny's Child

The Cheetah Girls

The Pussycat Dolls

The Saturdays

Please ladies, the love is beautiful and all, but leave the matchy matchy up to identical twins, the junior class powderpuff football team or a dance group on America’s Best Dance Crew!
