Accessories have always played second fiddle to the clothes on Fashion Week runways, and with good reason: How could anyone be expected to actually see the model’s earrings, short of whipping out a pair of binoculars? No more! The details are finally getting their moment in the spotlight with the Harper’s Bazaar Accessories Bazaar, whi...

Pamela Love doesn’t just make jewelry, she manufacturers badassedness. But you knew that already: Her edgy, tribal-inspired designs have shown up in countless editorial spreads, dozens of runway shows, and even around Alexander Skarsgård’s neck on True Blood. So what’s Love cooking up this season? We talked to her while she ...

A former intern for Elle’s Kate Lanphear told the Post, “All the interns wanted to be her and probably still do.” The editor also treated her underlings like real, sustenance-needing human beings: “She is honestly one of the nicest people that I’ve met in the industry … She kept us really late one night, so she ...

When a full-fledged collection springs forth on a runway, it’s hard to believe that just a few months earlier, every stitch was a mere figment of the designer’s imagination. This video of Alexandre Herchcovitch shows the humble, pen-to-paper beginnings of his forthcoming spring 2011 collection, in all of its eraser-rubbed glory. Watchi...

We asked 100 designers showing this Fashion Week to give us one exclusive image (plus one word, for good measure) that encapsulates their spring 2011 collections.

The Times‘ Jon Caramanica checked out the Jack Spade store in the West Village, where he was quickly overwhelmed to find that all the West Village stereotypes were true: “A gentleman in a seersucker suit with unlaced saddle shoes (and no socks) stomped by, gripping a folded newspaper. He looked stern.” Sockslessness is one thing,...

An E.U.-funded study reported something that many of us have long suspected: Knockoff sales don’t really hurt designer labels, because people who buy them could never pay for the real thing anyway. What’s more, researchers think that counterfeits could be good for the designer industry. “There is also evidence that it actually he...

Think you clicked fast enough to snag yourself some bug-printed salad plates by John Derian for Target when they hit Gilt Groupe on Friday? Not so fast, speedy fingers: Gilt Groupe has issued e-mails apologizing to customers whose orders they are unable to deliver due to overselling. In addition to refunding these customers, Gilt has given them a ...

Georgia May Jagger, who’s been the face of Hudson Jeans for two seasons, appears in a very sexy, very underwear-less new video for the label, titled “Lips.” The ad spends the majority of its airtime zoomed in on Jagger’s electric-red mouth, which, to be fair, is pretty fascinating. First of all, there’s her lipstick &...

When we cornered photographer Todd Selby at a Cole Haan party last night and asked him about his favorite fall looks, he first played coy: “I don’t really follow trends. I more just take pictures of people who look really interesting, you know?” But then he finally caved, professing his love for the “dad socks” that a...

Maria Sharapova, who designs all of her own competition outfits, considers every slightest detail when crafting her tournament wardrobes. For example, there’s the color of the clay: “You don’t want to clash with the court. Like, say the French Open, you have the red clay, so you have to think about that red background,” she...

Blow by Blow, by her husband Detmar Blow and Tom Sykes (brother to Vogue writer Plum), comes out November 9 in the U.S., but was excerpted in the Daily Mail over the weekend. The book details the various tragedies of Blow’s life, starting with the death of her 2-year-old brother, who drowned in a swimming pool while she was supposed to be wa...

The New York Times‘ Jon Caramanica sifted through secondhand tees at Scout Vintage T-Shirts in Soho, which prompted some deep questions about the garments’ former lives: “How does Eddie feel about the fact that someone let go of a hand-lettered shirt proclaiming ‘I Love Eddie’ ($38)? Was it too painful to hold on to t...

Barneys warehouse sales are notorious for being packed to the gills with racks of designer clothing and the people who passionately, aggressively, and sometimes even violently want to buy them. This season’s sale, which kicks off tomorrow at 8 a.m. sharp, will be no exception, sporting the usual 50-70 percent off a selection of Barneys’...

A bold piece of art usually calls for big spending, but Mike Miller’s silhouette portraits from West Elm are a wallet-friendly way to freshen up bare walls. Silhouettes have a reputation for gathering dust in a closet at your great aunt’s house, but Miller, who runs an antique business when he’s not gluing collages, puts a punchy...

Are you tired of craning your neck at fashion shows to get a better look at a pair of earrings obscured by a model’s hairdo? Or, more likely, squinting at a runway photo on your computer screen to discern whether a handbag strap is actually a neck pillow in disguise? Well, strain no more: This season, you’ll be able to examine accessor...

Liam Gallagher, bad boy musician turned bad boy designer and seeker of the perfect desert boot, was the first to admit that he doesn’t “know anything about fashion.” His lack of expertise didn’t seem to deter British shoppers, though, who pledged their allegiance to his to-hell-with-skinny-jeans [....rest of the story....]...
