Edited by Jessica Lapidos

The top runway hair trends of Fall 2011 were wielded by the hair stylist superstars of Windle and Moodie. This London based salon by Paul Windle and Neil Moodie is truly run by masters.

His prominence grew in the 90s in editorial and on the runway, styling a good number of Vogue covers. He’s also the reason his swear-by products Bumble and Bumble got so popular in the UK. If you’re in Londontown, you may even snag a coveted appointment for a haircut by Windle himself. Neil Moodie took a moment to shows us how to get the season’s coolest hair. From the tough ponied tomboy girlfriend to the teased, hurried and extreme hair of the Fall ’11 runways, Moodie takes you step by step here.

Silk straddled sportswear as Max Azria explores soft angles again for BCBG Spring 2012. Fluttering layers gave way to dropped waistlines and native prints. Sheer jackets may break no wind, but the added layer takes this collection from ancient Grecian flapper cum Native American to the U.S. Open.

Put the Cell Phone Away & Spring Forward With a New Watch

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Although there was a wintry mix falling over the five New York boroughs this morning, yesterday was the official start of spring. Last week, our cell phones changed automatically, leaving us with one less hour of sleep but the joy of lingering daylight. I took the time to wind my watch ahead as well, a task that, for many young folks, is a lost art. But time pieces are back and better than ever, so why not spring ahead this season with a little wrist candy? I got the chance to see some of the very best watches from five acclaimed brands last week, and I guarantee you’ll find two or three you can’t live without.

BCBG Max Azria Fall 2011 Runway: Minimalist Cornered

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Amidst front row celebs like Jennifer Love Hewitt and both Kelly Rowland and Cutrone (right in front of me), BCBGMAXAZRIA was an impressive display of bright geometric minimalism. Built upon building blocks of right angles, it seemed an experiment to manipulate the square, creating soft shapes from straightest of lines. The stark white turtleneck understructure allows for brilliant contrast. In a collection of solid blocking, the one recurring print is carved of millions of stacked cubes. The sheen opaque material bounces with each step, and the airy chiffon flutters in layers.

I’m not a huge fan of  this Max Azria collection, I think the color palette and the “clean lines” are BORING… Just my point of view!

RUNWAY: BCBG Fall/Winter 2010

Edited by Saynt

We were sitting and discussing BCBG with the girls from iFashionNetwork, and decided that besides the random bursts of color at the show, the looks were sort of boring.

‘Maz Azria was inspired by a clean, modern approach for Fall 2010.  Gravitating towards a neutral tones infused with surprise POPS of neon yellow and blue.  Prints were geometric and kind of gave me an avatar-ish, galactic vibe.  The models wore white tights contrasting with the dark neutrals.  The silhouettes coming down the runway were linear with asymmetrical draping, transparent pleats.  The styles were belted, giving shape and a vision of cool, easy sophistication.’
