How To Dress For Fashion Week

Fashion Tips

If there's one (or 100!) things we've learned from the sea of fashion shows we check out every season, it's that inspiration doesn't always come exclusively from the runway. Like you, we get lots of nifty ideas from watching all the clever ways Fashion Week attendees get dressed—and get noticed. And so, we decided to assemble our own little cheat-sheet of easy tips you can try on your own for giving your favorite outfits a fresh twist.

1. Be bold: Switch out that basic black coat with a brighter shade or a patterned cropped jacket instead.

Shipley & Halmos Take On Dual Forces, Perfect Skirts, And Sexy Bombers For Fall 2010

By: Christene Barberich

Keywords:

With 8 gajillion shows to compete with, it's tricky for designers to find new ways to set themselves apart. So, when we heard Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos of Shipley & Halmos had chosen an intimate pre-Fashion Week showing of their new fall '10 line in their SoHo studio over a traditional presentation, we were there. And, without 10 other shows to juggle, we got a finer sense of what this duo is really up to. It seems this new collection is a subtle fusion of the past four seasons—a deft mix of whimsy, sophistication, innovation, and a sort of casual luxury the boys are becoming known for (the designers cited dual forces, ie: Action versus Containment, as the main point of reference). The play on contrasts worked as there were so many wantable pieces, we kind of lost count. But among the front-runners was a slouchy pencil skirt (hitting just below the knee, it's definitely our length of the season), a fitted leather bomber/biker jacket, some very sexy high-waisted jeans, and a long, flowing KILLER duster coat that seemed as though it might have magical powers. And, what will these two be up to while everyone is guzzling Red Bull and wondering where Anna is? "We might head upstate to research the old arts-and-crafts printmaker, Roycroft." Can we come?

We don't need to tell you how awesome we think the Swedes are. Seriously, even their shopping bags are chic. And if it wasn't for all the gorgeous moments our lensman Mr. Newton captured throughout Stockholm Fashion Week, we wouldn't be going on about them so much. But just check out this inspiring photo diary for yourself. We could all take a tip from that red-head who really knows how to rock a great hat.

Acne Fall 2010: Facepaint Goes Well With Alien-y, Winter Parkas

By: Connie Wang

Keywords:

Swedish brand, Acne presented their fall '10 line yesterday, and boy—was it trip down bizarro lane. The styling was reminiscent of an extraterrestrial spending the holidays in neolithic Scandinavia: There were stacks of arm—and leg!—bangles, furry ankle cuffs, greasy center parts, and metallic, forehead paint that made all the models look like they accidentally face-planted in a pool of nail polish. But amidst all the post-apocalyptic-borg details were pieces we could see ourselves wearing to death, like the oatmeal-colored coat, ferocious, chunky heels, and those great skinny trousers we've come to expect from Acne. Can't get enough? Stay tuned for backstage and party pics!
