And who says that fashion doesn’t have a heart — besides me and everyone I know. To ease the pressure on a very pregnant Phoebe Philo, who’s expecting her third child sometime in April, Céline has decided to cut its fall runway show and instead opt for a scaled-down presentation.

If you’ve ever been inside of Walter Van Bierendonck‘s Paris studio, you may be more equipped to make sense of his Fall 2012 collection titled “Lust Never Sleeps”. If you haven’t stood witness to his collection of banners with anime versions of himself riding on rainbows, mushrooms and male nether-regions, nor his future final resting grounds of a cartoon sarcophagus and his ode to all the boys, drugs and fashion a.k.a. things he loves, this trompe-l’oeil culture clashing runway journey may blow your mind.

It’s the SuperTailor look. You know, the kind of tailoring made out of superhero materials like neoprene, rubberized cotton, jacquard… okay that last one was more for the Marie Antoinette type, but she was a cake eating hero, too. Nicola Formichetti and Romain Kremer put out a collection of modern party-after-businessman looks for Mugler Fall 2012. It’s not as wild as the typical Thierry, but the textures carry historical silhouettes into overtime.

The Great Fashion Week Calendar War of 2011 (and early 2012) has finally come to an end…at least for now. And while the fashion industry as a whole is a winner, New York as an individual city is totes the loser.

Urban Chic meets tribal art in order to create Flo de Richefort, an independent design company based in Paris. This collection “Party Preachers” is the designer’s take on peace and love inspired by street life and it’s urban influences. I was drawn to this designer because I connected with the simplistic nature of the shapes, and the youthfully bright choices within the color palate. The playful yet chic blending of tag art makes me feel as if I’m dancing in an imaginary a world where art is vandalizing every wall, all the while remaining intrinsically parisian. The removal from modern boundaries and inclusion of garb like tribal pieces is a refreshing and bold statement, placing this designer on my menswear look list.

When going on a trip, we tend to pack the whole closet. By the time you squeeze everything you “need” into your bags, you’ll end up looking like Rachel Zoe during Paris Fashion Week with 11 suitcases. This is inconvenient, obnoxious and you will be paying more than your plane ticket in luggage fees. Here’s how to pack like a pro and limit your luggage to two bags.
