Fashion Designers Against AIDS

La Grande Braderie de la Mode
Thirty three million people are infected with AIDS, and 14,000 new cases are registered each day. That approximates to one infection every six seconds, shocking figures widely publicized on December 1st for World AIDS Day. To draw further attention to the rapidly growing AIDS epidemic, French association AIDES organized La Grande Braderie de la Mode last weekend, a huge fashion clearance sale to raise money to fight this global disease.

The New Age Of Accessories: Part I

<i>Elle Accessories</i>
From those YSL caged booties to Louis Vuitton's doorknob-sized beaded hoops, it's clear that we're entering a new era in accessories design. Although every recent season has had one or two notable "It" pieces, recent months have seen a rebirth of categories that had started to feel a little stale.

A red sole is no longer enough to make a statement shoe. Now your feet aren't worth walking on if they aren't clad in their own miniature sculpture—from Dior's carved tribal heels to Proenza Schouler's steely, architectural platforms. Similarly, spring's status bags have traded their logos and hardware for luxurious simplicity—the better to show off the season's coveted craftsmanship and timelessness. Jewelry, too, has moved beyond the confines of bling, giving a nod to the costume jewelry of yesteryear and all of its flamboyance, craftiness and wit.

For the next few weeks, we'll closely look at the two categories that are undergoing the biggest renaissance, jewelry and shoes. But first, we've decided to examine the medium by which their meteoric rise is being charted: the accessories press.

Modelizing: The Art of Window Shopping

MODELIZING: The window at YSL

YSL, Celine, Hermès

I've decided that I hate this YSL shoe. I hate the shape of it, I hate the heel shape with that weird little bottom, I hate all the textures/colours it comes in. I hate seeing it every where, yet I keep taking photos of it. It's a hate photo, if such a thing exists.  read more »

Video: Margiela is a Thriller!

OBSESSION: Margiela Thriller Jacket

Those of a certain era remember Michael Jackson's 1982 stellar "best selling album of all time" Thriller. The impact of this album, and the title track still has me shivering in my YSL brogues.  read more »

Cage Not Fall

Cage boots at YSL

The boots at YSL were a major situation. Makes for an interesting head to toe finish for all of the eastern-influenced architectural styles that we're seeing. They had the nerve to make the heel a cage as well! Can you even get over it?

Modelizing: The Art of Window Shopping

Menswear display at Bergdorf Goodman

The BG mens display had me thinking "Where did they find all of these incredibly wooden objects?" You know a display is overpowering when you ignore the clothes and focus on the decorations instead. And even thought I'm insanely biased to Tom Ford, his suit was the only one that stopped me in my tracks and I checked out before I even read that it was Tom Ford. He's definitely carved out his own style for suits, or maybe my Tom Ford love radar is out of control. [Also I loved the Chanel logo reflection from the womens store in some of the images.]

New Shoes, Yes Please...

We shot a few of our Autumn favorites worn by show-goers this Paris Fashion Week. Girls and guys everywhere stride your way through the coming season in a pair of new (shoe) boots, and pay a little attention to the crop of those pants.

What's hot right now: 
I love the non-aggressive '80s looks in Albino's spring/summer '09 collection, particularly one of the deep plunging jumpsuits. Veronique Branquinho's collection was also sublime. I always trust my own closet for shopping tips: timeless YSL, early Balenciaga (Nicolas Ghesquière collections) and vintage jewelry and bags.

Magazine Montage — Get That Girl Some Pants

With so many wonderful pairs of pants to choose from this season, it's pretty exciting picking which ones to buy. We're thinking a little loose on top tapering perfectly above the ankle; fitted, long and lean; or over washed, soft and skinny denim. Here, we find miss Rubik a few options to work with her Ralph Lauren giant plaid jacket.

Clockwise from top right:

A: Cardigan, Ralph Lauren Collection; Tie Dye Jean, Dsquared²

B: Sweatshirt, Eric Bompard; Jeans, American Apparel; Boots, Rick Owens; Satchel YSL 'Besace'

C: Pants, Jil Sander  read more »
