Scene Stealer: Mod Style of Carnaby Street, London

Posted by: Tegan Silva

May

2012

The 1960s is, by far, one of my favorite decades for fashion. From the structured dresses of the Mods, to the free-spirited Hippies, the times were a-changing and the clothing reflected that. What is so amazing about Carnaby Street, you ask? Well, let me just show you!

Carnaby Street became a hot spot for the hip and fabulous Swinging London scene, with independent fashion boutiques and designers who helped popularize the Mod style. One of those designers included fashion legend Mary Quant who practically invented the mini skirt and brought us one of our favorite fashion icons, Twiggy!

While we have no time machine (sorry guys), you can still get the Mod look with a little help from some A-line dresses, Peter Pan collars, and stylish flats!

(1. Last Minute Finish Gold Collar Necklace, 2. Specs in the City Sunglasses Neutrals (Brown Frames, Brown Lenses), 3. Mod You Look Yellow Dress, 4. Qupid Strip 40 Blue Velvet Tassel Smoking Slipper Flats, 5. Terrace Gardens Brown Clutch)

Rebecca, from the blog Thirty-five Inch Inseam, is our blogger spotlight of the week! Her happy and bright style is undeniably feminine. I love the fun and carefree way she mixes patterns and colors. She is definitely a fan of circle skirts and cardigans and guess what, so are we! Without further ado, here are some of her best looks below!

Polka dots and stripes are a yes, please!

I love the printed bag with the patterned cardigan. Mustard, cream and brown = perfection.

I love the vintage inspired goodness of this shot; the ladylike pose, perfect plaid coat and dramatic cat eye frames.

Twirling with bows!

A firm believer in puppies making everything right, this photo is a fave! Love the leafy patterned skirt with a bright pop of orange!

Make sure to check out Rebecca's blog for some girlie and fun fashion!

Haven't we all had a few "Real Fantasies" about Prada's 2012 Spring/Summer collection?

Prada went "100% handmade" with this look book full of retro collages as it "explores the nostalgia of hot rodding, golfing, picnicking, the space race, and other wholesome past times." Love it!

Also, check out the motionbook for even more magic!

We love Lady Gaga not just for her music, but for her super crazy, yet amazing costumes! However, it is Giorgio Armani we must give props to for executing her lavish vision for the stage. Giorgio Armani, who has worked with Gaga for her Monster Ball Tour in 2010, is working with the pop star again for her Born This Way Ball Tour and there are fantastic sketches to get us little monsters excited.

The designer is reportedly creating spiky PVC pieces with black crystals and mirrored metal. There’s even a keyboard-shaped headpiece! Say what?!

To get us even more excited for her tour, let’s take a look back at Lady Gaga’s many incredible costumes from her Monster Ball Tour!

Yeah, pretty sure the Born This Way Tour is going to be epic.

Are any of you readers excited for the tour? Show us your Lady Gaga love in the comments!

I'll Be Your Mirror: Legendary Street Style Photographer Bill Cunningham

Posted by: Tegan Silva

April

2012

Before there was The Sartorialist or Tommy Ton, there was Bill Cunningham. Cunningham is a legendary street style photographer that is still going strong at the New York Times and even Anna Wintour hopes to be snapped by him!

Cunningham’s career started in the 1970s when he started taking photographs of fashion on the streets of New York. As a result of a chance photograph of Greta Garbo, he published a group of his impromptu pictures in the New York Times in December 1978, which soon became a regular series.

Cunningham scours the streets on his bike everyday looking for rare birds of fashion and has become a respected icon. If Cunningham snaps a photo of you, it’s a huge honor, because you’ve just become part of a visual history.

"We're in the age of the cookie-cutter sameness. There are few that are rarities, someone who doesn't look like 10 million others."—Bill Cunningham.

Before Bill Cunningham was snapping photos of street fashion heros, he was making fabulous hats under the label William J. The hats are amazing and definitely pieces of fashion history.

Want to learn more about Bill Cunningham? Check out his weekly snapshots here, and if you haven't checked out the documentary Bill Cunningham New York, do yourself a big favor and go see it!

A Chloë Moment! '90s Chloe

If you've missed our little segments on Chloë Sevigny, then let us all hold hands and worship this ultimate '90s It Girl for what she is really known for: her grungy '90s style. From floral rompers, baby tees (I've got my fingers crossed that baby tees are coming back) and sexy zebra prints and hot pants, Chloë has always rivaled the edginess of her onscreen roles by the edginess of her look.

Seems like Hollywood's been feeling a little nostalgic lately...

The glamour of Old Hollywood keeps renewing itself, with retro spreads in this month's Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, W, and more. It is always polite to respect your elders, after all.

Supermodel Crystal Renn Goes Blonde!

Posted by: Tegan Silva

Crystal Renn has definitely achieved supermodel status and has easily become one of the most recognizeable faces in fashion. She also happens to be one of my favorite models, because she owns her look no matter what.

So, when this traditionally dark haired vixen recently bleached her locks, it was a shock. She looks very different, but her drastic change seems to be serving her well in this month's issue of Schön magazine! Look at her work it!

While I love this change, I'm still very much in love with her dark locks. Here's a just a sample of her photos during her pre-blonde years:

Are you digging Crystal Renn's new 'do?

To compare, check out her body of work here!
