The Stephen Sprouse Book Minus The LV Monogram

The Stephen Sprouse Book Minus The LV Monogram

Searching for a big, glossy coffee table book on Stephen Sprouse minus the LV monogram splattered all over the front? Then pick up the just-as-neon Stephen Sprouse Book put together by Roger and Mauricio Padilha, the duo behind Mao Public Relations and Mao Mag. In the book you'll find details of Sprouse's work with Halston, pictures of Debbie Harry looking fabulous, and countless sources of inspiration for your 1980's-inspired summer wardrobe.

Berlin Fashion Week: ADD Fall 2009

Berlin-based menswear brand ADD started up in 2000, though the designer, Wibke Deertz, has been far from stagnant since then. Deertz's collections have been designed and produced everywhere from Buenos Aires to Bangkok as her work pivots on multicultural influences and manufacturing techniques. The aesthetic, no matter what country Deertz is living in, always embodies the laid-back cool that typifies Berlin culture by way of easy contemporary separates. Check out our first glimpse at the Fall 09 collection below.

Quote Of The Day: Sarah Mower on Elie Saab Spring 2009 Haute Couture

A Spring Trend With DIY Potential

We're not saying that the Alexander Wang or Venessa Bruno rolled-up sweat shorts are anything less than perfect but who are we to say there's any harm in a DIY project in order to stay on that 2009 budget.

Whichever you choose wear these shorts with a sporty, low heel and cotton top (T just dropped after all) and you're ready for a casual summer evening.

Menswear Showcase Announced For London Fashion Week

Menswear Showcase Announced For London Fashion Week

Today it was announced that a menswear showcase will be added to the London Fashion Week schedule, right at the tail end of the week. To start things off the scheduled MAN show (that's Topman + Fashion East) will include designs from James Long, Christopher Shannon, JW Anderson, and Topman. Following that, there will be a series of off-site catwalk shows, installations, and events for other emerging menswear designers--and the editors who didn't scoot off to Milan the day before.

Here Comes The Spring 2009 Couture Bride

The Spring 2009 Couture collections showed quite a few bridal-friendly looks, so perhaps that's where the designer's played it safe--rather than hold back on exquisite details and over-the-top silhouettes, they spoke to the bridal market just a little more aggressively this season.
