Lily Cole

>> THE MODELIZER —Lily Cole did her first major lingerie cover for lad mag Arena last May, and she's doing another lad mag cover for October 2008 — wearing even less.  Look for the flame-haired model on the front of Playboy France, holding a teddy bear and wearing nothing but a pair of white socks.  Inside, there's a 14-page spread inspired by Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson album.

Louise Goldin Looks to the Future for Spring 2009

>> It's easy to put together a sheer skirt or two — but when you knit them, it's a whole different story.  For her third runway collection, that's just what Louise Goldin did — she knits everything, even high-tech yarns like monofilaments and fiber optics.  With that techie inclination in mind, it's no surprise that her Spring 2009 collection veered to the futuristic and was the result of hours spent in scientific libraries.

Sole Commerce Spring 2009 Shoe Report

Once you have exhausted bags as status items shoes await you in all their glory, as we were reminded by the sheer variety of brands and styles on display at Sole Commerce.

Deer, Farylrobin, Tom's Shoes, Aquatalia, Chi Mihara, United Nude, Terra Plana, and Naughty Monkey were just some of the brands that caught our wandering eye.
