a oui little thing

Mary-Kate Olsen is continuing her love affair with Alaia. At last night's premiere of Weeds Season 3, the actress/designer/mogul paired a long Alaia skirt with the YSL sequin tudo Muse bag and Balenciaga heels....

never mind the bollocks

Another day, another Kate Moss and Pete Doherty drama. As reported in London's Daily Mail, the oft-rehabbed musician has sounded off about his relationship with the iconic British beauty. And it wasn't pretty: Doherty...

there's no place like...kohl's?

Back in 2004, you would have drawn blood to score an item from Karl Lagerfeld's collection for H&M.  And after seven Target Go International lines (up next is designer Alice Temperley, followed by Erin...

end scene

This week, the film world lost two legendary directors: Sweden's Ingmar Bergman and Italy's Michelangelo Antonioni. While both took a cerebral approach to movie making, it was Antonioni who created more fashion-centric fare. In...

som kind of wonderful

Designer Peter Som is on a roll. Last week, he was appointed creative director of American fashion house Bill Blass. And this past Sunday, actress Kate Mara (one to watch stylewise, in S.B.'s book)...

here today, here tomorrow

WWD is reporting that Prada SpA (the parent company which owns Prada and Miu Miu, and once upon a time Jil Sander and Helmut Lang) is selling back the Azzedine Alaia brand to its...

you've really got a hold on me

Style Blogger is a glutton for entertainment. This past weekend, I saw Hairspray not once but two times! Why? Because (1) the character of dreamboat Link Larkin is played by real-life dreamboat Zac Efron...

sienna's sister comes into focus

As a faithful brother myself, Style Blogger has to give Sienna Miller props. At last night's launch party for her Twenty8Twelve clothing line (Sienna's birthday is December 28th), she did her darndest to keep...

The Council of Fashion Designers of America and Vogue have announced the ten nominees for their joint Fashion Fund. Drum roll, please. And the nominees are: Erin Fetherston of Fetherston Design Group; Phillip Lim...

have I got muse for you

Thank goodness for Ruffian's Brian Wolk and Claude Morais. Without them, Style Blogger wouldn't have found his latest fashion inspiration: Mariel Hemingway. The designer duo took S.B. to see Mariel (above left) in a...

night at the museum

John Galliano's most recent couture collection for Dior lived up to the heritage (it was the French fashion house's 60th anniversary) and the hype (it was staged at the Chateau of Versailles's Orangerie )....

Sweet Francaise

Bonjour, Style Blogger fans! I just returned from a French adventure that would have made Marie Antoinette verte with envy. In fact, it began at her former home the Chateau of Versailles, where philanthropic...

A WIN-WIN SITUATION

It's a good week to be Derek Lam! As head of his namesake line, he took away the CFDA's Accessory Designer of the Year award on Monday night. And to top it off, WWD...

BLOW UP

Style Blogger was just paid a visit by Australian director Elissa Downs, whose movie The Black Balloon stars supermodel Gemma Ward (in Dior at the Cannes Film Festival, above).  And this is no doomed...

NO CONTEST

As you know from previous posts, Style Blogger has dressed his fair share of actresses. But never has he dressed a former actress who is also a bonafide rock star! That is, until now....

the departed

Style Blogger has often bemoaned the current state of travel: long lines, delayed flights, irate passengers. But, as the Italian film The Golden Door reminded S.B. this past weekend, we have it pretty good...

SHIP SHAPE

It's a no-brainer that Pirates of the Carribean: At Worlds End would be record-setting blockbuster (to the tune of $140 million its opening weekend). But did you know that the movie racked up major...

DYNAMIC DUO

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen turn 21 on June 13. And ever the fashion-forward girls, they are giving themselves a stylish gift: a new clothing line, Elizabeth and James, named after their younger sister and...

THINK PINK

Every It Girl with a little black dress in her closet has been compared to Audrey Hepburn. Try as the media might, though, the world will never see another one like her. Which is...
