May 18, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienPlenty of brands claim to offer up couture collections, but to be a true couture piece, a garment needs to meet a number of requirements—so how did buzzy, ready-to-wear brand Vetements just nab an invitation to the ultra-exclusive Haute Couture Fashion Week? ...

May 11, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienOver the past year the fashion industry has been going through some major discussions about the relevancy and impact of Fashion Week. Brands have been revamping the way they present during the bi-annual events by combining men’s and women’s collections, limiting their line to a season or two, and even making entire collections available for purchase directly after runway shows. ...

Apr 5, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienWithin the last few months, a number of major designers and brands have announced their plans to ditch the traditional Fashion Week model in favor of something more consumer friendly. Gucci is the latest brand to join the revolution. Today, the Italian label announced that they would no longer hold individual runway shows for men and women, but would now combine the shows into one. ... Read More | 
Mar 21, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienThere’s nothing quite like filing your closet with major designers and labels, but we also think you should make some room for the next big names in fashion. ... Read More | 
Mar 14, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienDual collections and androgynous looks are taking over Fashion Week, which means that there’s no longer a clear, concrete distinction between men’s and women’s collections. In the past, Men’s Fashion Week has its fair share of womenswear sprinkled throughout (most of which is usually influenced by menswear), but menswear popping up at the ladies’ shows? That has been pretty rare—until now. ... Read More | 
Mar 10, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienIf Finnish house Marimekko is known for anything it’s their eccentric prints. The sophomore collection from Creative Director Anna Teurnell followed this formula to the letter, as she sent big patterns on cuddly outerwear down the runway. “The Fall/Winter 2016 collection is an ode to originality and empowered women. Marimekko is about appreciating the imperfection and personality—being true to oneself,” Teurnell said of the lineup. ... Read More | 
Mar 9, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienWinter was on Giambattista Valli’s mind when he presented the Moncler Gamme Rouge Fall 2016 collection today at Paris Fashion Week. The runway more closely resembled a ski run, with models walking along a snowy path, the mountains of the Swiss Alps looming in the background. The designs however, were much less sportswear and instead tapped the traditional garments of the Swiss and Germanic region for inspiration. ... Read More | 
Mar 9, 2016 | Contributor: Kelly O'ReillyIn true 2016 style, Arthur Arbesser ascended to his new role as Iceberg creative director as a result of an Instagram exchange with parent company Gilman CEO and artistic director Paolo Gerani.

Mar 8, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienKarl Lagerfeld is known for putting on a theatrical presentation every season, which is probably why the Chanel Fall 2016 runway felt so surprising—or perhaps more appropriately—like a breath of fresh air. Instead of an airport, casino, supermarket or the like, the Grand Palais was simply decorated with white floors, golden chairs and only one row along the catwalk. Yep, everyone invited to the Chanel show had a front row seat. ... Read More | 
Mar 8, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienKnown for her abstract designs, Iris Van Herpen showcased her Fall 2016 collection, Lucid, with a runway show and art installation piece. Models walked around a dark room moving through a series of glass panels that distorted their image like a carnival hall of mirrors. The dresses, which were already extremely architectural and otherworldly in design, looked even more unearthly through their magnified reflections. We can’t say we’ve had any lucid dreams quite like it. ... Read More | 
Mar 7, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienNames like Kate Bush and Stevie Nicks were tossed around when Roland Mouret was designing his Fall 2016 collection and both were seen on the runway this weekend. The collection channeled the two musicians faithfully, without venturing into costume territory, and were completely reimagined and interpreted for a modern audience. ... Read More | 
Mar 7, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienBringing together the best—or perhaps the most extravagant—looks of ‘90s supermodels and Las Vegas nightlife, Zuhair Murad celebrated glamour and sensuality with a collection of flashy party wear. Tapping fashion icons like Cher, Michael Jackson and Cindy Crawford for inspiration, he designed a line saturated with embellishments, skin-baring cuts and more than a few ultra-lush fabrics. ...

Mar 7, 2016 | Contributor: Marissa StempienWe love fashion for fashion’s sake. Avant garde designs, exotic textiles and embellishments, and over-the-top structure all catches our eye and sparks our imagination. Which is great on the runway, but not so stellar once it finally reaches our closet. Somewhere between runway and retail, designers have to find what will work, what won’t and how they can translate the creativity and drama of the catwalk into a palpable, wearable collection. ...
