Layering Bodysuits

coutorture — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:35:30 PST

Dsquared2 Jill Silk Bodysuit $795 @ eLuxury, Splendid Bodysuit $55 @ shopbop.com, Knitted roll neck bodysuit $70 @ Topshop, Cotton Spandex Jersey Short Sleeve T-Shirt Leotard $28 @ American Apparel, Knitted vest bodysuit $60 @ Topshop, Cheap Monday Jada Bodysuit $30 @ Tobi

We've been fans of the bodysuit for as long as we can remember, from our middle school days shopping at The Limited to now. The great thing about this basic is that you can find it in just about any weight and sleeve length, and, at all different price points. Start your outfit off with one of these bodysuits and start layering--in the winter, it might not get too much visibility but at least you'll know that your outfit looks good from the inside out. Plus, our studies show that men love them. You know, just saying.

Feel Like Staying In? Our Five Key Pieces.

Dsquared2 Zipped Pencil Skirt $945 - eLuxury

Rick Owens Light Cotton Shorts $325 - eLuxury

VPL Barely There Bra $85 - shopbop.com

Free People Kristals Lace Camisole $38 - shopbop.com

Alexander Wang Tank Dress $524 - shopbop.com

These pieces might not satisfy the conventional notion of what 'Staying In' clothing looks like; but who said you had to wear pajamas at home. In fact, these pieces are as comfortable as they are street-ready. Victoria Bartlett, Rick Owens, and Alexander Wang all know a thing or two about clothing that looks high fashion and feels like a worn-in dream. In this economy, it's best to double up on your motivations.

>> The '90s supermodels are turning out in droves for the Fall 2008 campaign season: Linda Evangelista is starring in Prada, Naomi Campbell in Yves Saint Laurent, Claudia Schiffer in Chanel (below, top middle) and Salvatore Ferragamo, Kate Moss in Stella McCartney, Eva Herzigova in Louis Vuitton (below, bottom middle), Stephanie Seymour in Loewe, Amber Valletta in Dsquared (below, left), and Christy Turlington in Escada (below, right). Phew!

Without further ado, a first look at the supers' Fall work (nothing stellar yet, but you know they got paid a lot for it):

Nadja Auermann is conspicuously left out of the bunch, but only because she's turned down offers to focus on her fledgling music career — who knew?!

DSquared2 Offers an Upscale Take on Halloween Dressing

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 10:57:49 PDT

>> If your Halloween plans require a more glamorous ensemble than a dressed-up leotard, peep this DSquared2 Spinal Cord Dress. From the front, it looks like any other LBD, but turn around and it's a completely different story. The spinal cord macramé detailing is the perfect spooky treat for a night out on the town. Furthermore, we love how the peekaboo cutout detailing injects a sexy touch. Before you head out on your Thriller adventure, we suggest you top off the look with a pair of tough booties or platform sandals. And don't forget to check out our Halloween-worthy ode to Carine Roitfeld's catty Vogue Paris masquerade ball costume here!

fashionologie — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:33:40 PDT

>> Lara Stone has developed a devoted cult following - Carine Roitfeld dedicated an entire issue of Vogue Paris to her, Stella McCartney recently gushed about wanted to "celebrate Lara" and her "fantastic breasts" - and as a result Lara's been able to convert more single girl campaigns. For Fall 2009, she picked up lingerie with Eres and the followup to DSquared2's epic Spring 2009 campaign with Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell fighting. Originally, designers Dean and Dan Caten were supposed to join her in the ads shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, but in the images they uploaded, it looks like they went with three male models instead.

DSquared2 Wants Your Attention On Paper, Radio, and TV

fashionologie — Fri, 01 May 2009 11:26:48 PDT

>> Dan and Dean Caten are in serious self-promotion mode, and seem to be following the Isaac Mizrahi model of radio-TV show one-two punch. They're following up their supermodel-heavy catfight-themed Spring 2009 ads with a Fall 2009 set, just shot in London, featuring Lara Stone and themselves - “We’re all about self-promotion now; we’re celebrities in our own right,” Dean semi-joked.

The duo just wrapped taping on a new show for Bravo, Launch My Line, a fashion competition series for which they perform hosting and judging duties. The premise follows 10 fashion designers paired with pop-culture notables who all want to launch their own clothing line. They told Teen Vogue:

Dan and Dean are getting real in America! We think it's a way for the American market to learn who we are as designers - now, for the first time, they'll be able to see us and hear us. Most people here think DSquared2 is all about jeans and T-shirts. Yes, that's our bread and butter . . . but we can cut a beautiful jacket, too!

They have a new radio show, too »
