#NYFW Cheat Sheet: Tommy Hilfiger AW12

Edited by

Looking around the scene at Tommy Hilfiger’s fall 2012 runway show I thought I had mistakenly wandered into an English garden. Vines of ivy twisted their way along brick columns and trees fully in bloom sat in their own separate little fields. If not for the giant catwalk winding around those fields, I would’ve expected a tea party to commence at any second. From this setting I also expected very light, dainty, ladylike fare – but from the first look it was apparent that the house that Tommy built was not serving tea. A thread of military dressing ran through the collection, centered heavily on coats in shearling, bonded leather and Melton wool. Dresses in silk suggested a ladylike quality, but this lady’s ready to face the ravages of fall and stare it down till the spring.

IndieNewsroom: Madonna’s New Album Cover…Blake Lively Wants Tranny Kids…Ellen Writes a Check to MObama Her Pecs Can’t Cash

Edited by

- Madonna is back in a big way. In addition to a new film (that may or may not be awful), a Super Bowl halftime performance this weekend (that may or may not feature an exposed nipple) and a video with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. that debuts tonight during American Idol (that may or may not involve a threesome), the Queen of Pop also has a new album coming out called MDNA. And this is the cover. I’m getting a little Breathless Mahoney. [Paper]

International Fashion Weeks: Waste of Time or Next Frontier?

Edited by

“Glenda Bailey‘s not going to go to Richmond, VA, fashion week.” This quote from CFDA CEO Steven Kolb basically sums up the fashion industry’s attitude when it comes to fashion weeks outside of the big four: New York, London, Paris and Milan. Fashion is elitist, with the haves being vastly outweighed by the have-nots. A small cadre of editors, designers, photographers, stylists and — most importantly — businessmen control this billion dollar industry, but the cracks are beginning to appear in the facade. Milan’s breaking rank and challenging the fashion week calendar and in response Condé Nast has vowed that no Vogue editors will be in attendance should Milan continue its catwalk of impertinence. China is outspending both America and Europe in the luxury sector and many brands are opening stores in the Far East to meet this ever-expanding market. Then there are the some 100 other fashion weeks around the world, showcasing local young, up-and-coming and often, rather talented designers who, while not garnering the attention of Harper’s Bazaar‘s esteemed editrix in chief, are contributing to their own cities’ and countries’ burgeoning fashion industries.

Michelle Williams Keeps Her Hair Short in Memoriam

Edited by

“Of course, the only people who like it are gay men and my girlfriends. Straight men across the board are not into this hair!” Michelle Williams reveals in the December issue of Elle UK. Well, sister you got that right. Give me a Mia Farrow pixie cut any day of the week and twice on Sunday. But why, then, does she keep her man-repeller coiffure? “I cut it for the one straight man who has ever liked short hair and I wear it in memorial of somebody who really loved it.”
