Fashion’s biggest night took over New York City last night. The venue was the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the theme was dark, edgy and rebellious. Simply put, it was punk. Anna Wintour hosted the event with actress Rooney Mara who brought her  best version of punk to the big screen in the english speaking version of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”. The event’s other co-chair was socialite and Vogue contributing editor, Lauren Santo Domingo. The punk themed event apparently caused a frenzy amongst stylists and stars alike as many wondered how they would mix this very specific style with the glamour that the red carpet requires. As stars from the entertainment, fashion and sports world congregated on the famed Metropolitan stairs, the one question on everyone’s mind as always was “who are you wearing?”. Here’s a breakdown of the night’s most daring looks.

New York Fashion Week is officially over and things are moving on to London, Paris and Milan. Before we get to the trends on the runway however, let’s take a peek at the looks that stood out all over the city. Fashion Week is always a time for actresses, editors, buyers and many more style aficionados to strut their best stuff from tent to tent. As photographers and industry insiders anticipate the looks on the runways, there’s usually another kind of buzz happening pre-show. Starlets give their best model impressions while posing in the front row while editors who these days have just as much star power rub shoulders and schmooze with Hollywood. From the Fashion’s Night Out festivities that kicked things off, straight to the runways of Calvin Klein, Proenza Schouler, Michael Kors, Victoria Beckham, Rodarte and many more, here’s a little behind the scenes look at a few of our favorite “girls about town” and their very stylish outings this fashion week.

Trend Spotting: Forget the winter blues, shocking yellow is taking over Hollywood

Paula Patton recently shined at the golden globes in shocking yellow

Last week’s red carpet proved that Hollywood was foregoing winter and heading straight for spring.  From the range of bold colors that took over the carpet, one would never guess that we were in the throes of winter. One color in particular that the stars can’t seem to get enough of is shocking yellow. This color was huge over the summer and continues to gain steam on the carpet –with no signs of slowing down. From neon shades to sequin embellished looks, color blocked pieces and elegant gowns, there’s nothing mellow about this season’s yellow. Based on what we’ve seen on the spring runways plus the already active awards season, get ready to see more of this gorgeous, stand out color. (more…)

Spring trend alert : Floral print is in full swing

We’re continuing our week of featuring spring’s hottest trends and today, it’s all about the full bloom. The floral print is HUGE for spring. This is a trend that started last summer and has continued to make a stylish and consistent showing since. Who could forget Jessica Alba’s rosy Dolce and Gabbana or Sarah Jessica Parker’s floral Vivienne Westwood number.

The floral print is such a fun and feminine print and is the absolute perfect way to bring in the warm weather. It’s also a great alternative for those who don’t want a print as bold as the tribal print trend that’s also prominent this season. Everyone from the First Lady, Michelle Obama to Kate Bosworth, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis and Brooklyn Decker has tried this trend.
