Daphne Guinness is going on display once again. But this time it’s not a window performance piece at Barneys nor an exhibit dedicated to her enviable collection of couture. Paris department store Printemps has teamed with the heiress and photographer Nick Knight‘s SHOWstudio to create virtual mannequins of Guinness for their store windows, using photographic images rendered using cutting-edge three-dimensional scanning technology.

Loco for Leather Blouses

Edited by

Leather is like the universal language of love. What is better to both give and receive than a jacket, gloves, handbag or wallet made with a soft and buttery hyde? As the new year calls for new fashion obsessions, this material has been taking another garment by storm. Joining the ranks of popular leather goods is the blouse and, like it or not, we’ve been seeing it everywhere. When done well, it looks chic and surprisingly quite delicate. After seeing these eight leather blouses we want hanging in our closets, tell us, do you love or loathe the trend?

Muppets Take The Runway!

Edited by

Miss Piggy has been hogging the fashion spotlight for quite some time, but now it’s time for all the Muppets to step out in style. Have designers like Tom Ford, Rick Owens, Versace and Michael Kors been secretly inspired by the Muppet clan? We think so, because we found a whole ton of muppet doppelgängers on the runway. They took over Good Morning America this morning, and now they’re taking over FashionIndie. What with all this media, once they’re done saving their theater, maybe they can help save Fashion Week.

Chic Coiffure: 4 Fab Hairstyles from Paris Fashion Week

Edited by

We have entered into day 5 of Paris Fashion Week, and it’s not difficult to see why it’s the best of the four. Looking at the beauty trends during this halfway point, we’ve noticed an interesting balance of bold and minimalistic. Big, complex hairstyles took the stage just as often as the sleek and token, sending a message about the collections themselves. Were designers looking to create beauty trends alongside their lines, or did they want beauty to take a backseat and let fashion take the stage? These four hairstyles straight from the Paris runways are divided in aesthetic –  which do you prefer?

Crystal Renn Turns Back Old Hollywood for Vogue

Edited by

Vogue Germany turned to the golden age of old Hollywood glam to give Fall’s freshest a regal place in history. Crystal Renn plays the part of a starlett well, because she quite is one. In some moments, Fashion Editor Katie Mossmann has turned her Audrey Hepburn, in others a bit Jean Harlow. It’s kind of stunning how Miu Miu, Balenciaga, Rick Owens, Lanvin and others fit together now to transport us back to that über chic era.

Guinness the Great: Daphne on Display at FIT

Edited by

“Normally you should be dead if you have a retrospective,” admitted Daphne Guinness this morning at the FIT Museum as she premiered her self-curated wardrobe retrospective. Her selection, the work from such brilliance as  Chanel, Gareth Pugh, Rick Owens, and not surprisingly, a healthy set of Alexander McQueen, are on display in the form in which she wears them. More than a spectacle of such phenomenal work, the exhibition allows us to delve into the mind a fearsome fashion expressionist. Click to see photos of the exhibit and opening reception.
