>> Last night, editors and models alike gathered at Cipriani to simultaneously launch Fashion Week - officially - and benefit one of fashion's favorite causes: AIDS research foundation amfAR. Anna Wintour presented and Donna Karan received an award for her contribution to amfAR's mission; Lara Stone, Caroline Winberg, Jessica Stam, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Lily Donaldson, and Anja Rubik (with boyfriend Sasha Knezevic) all got gussied up and came along for the ride. Afterward, there was a mass migration to Rose Bar, where they were joined by Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Giovanna Battaglia for a little enjoyment of the calm before the storm.

Look We Love – Flat Top Fedoras and Brooches

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 07:55:11 PST

Fedoras may be a bit tired, but the flat top fedora makes the look new again. We like how this street-snapped cutie styled her own topper with a brooch embellished button-up shirt, mustard cardigan, black skinnies, and oxfords. Replicate the same minimal vibe with pieces from Topshop, Alexander McQueen, Kenneth Jay Lane, and Cole Haan, now!

Vibrant Prepster

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 12:23:37 PST

>> Paris Fashion Week street style took a colorful turn over the weekend, adding a vibrant pop to the neutral hues we saw last week. This unorthodox take on a preppy look features pink shorts, orange platform sandals, and a yellow bag tempered by a classic white button-up and black ribbed sweater. We love perfectly clashed colors, and if you do too, shop our similar picks from J.Crew, Gap, Lou, and Kate Spade.

Left to right: Lou Crewneck Sweater ($325), J.Crew Pink Shorts ($43), Gap Perfect Shirt ($50), Max Studio Tortoise Sunglasses ($90), Kenneth Cole New York Green Bangle ($30), Seychelles Gypsy Sandal ($55, originally $95), Kate Spade Essex Scout Bag ($295), Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish ($16)
