The Fashion World Of Jean Paul Gaultier: A Living Legend Gets The Museum Treatment In Montreal

The Fashion World Of Jean Paul Gaultier: A Living Legend Gets The Museum Treatment In Montreal

A few weeks ago, I realized I hadn’t taken a proper vacation since joining TheGloss back in October. As much as I love New York City, it has a way of tiring you out and that’s as much as I’ll say about that. I figured it might be a cool opportunity to take a train to Montreal for the long weekend, as I’d never been to Canada, the exchange rate was painless and I heard Canadians are like people, but nice. I also figured this would be an excellent excuse to visit The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, a career retrospective of haute couture’s most beloved enfant terrible, showing at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. To make an obvious story short, I did exactly that. More »

This past weekend, I took a trip up to Quebec for “The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk,” a sprawling exhibition in honor of Jean Paul Gaultier’s 30+ years of enfant terrible-ness at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibit will run for one more month and boasts about 120 couture and ready-to-wear pieces. My thoughts on the show are here, while this is a gallery of the looks and details I liked best. More »

Celebrate The Royal Wedding With Some Seriously Romantic Perfumes

Celebrate The Royal Wedding With Some Seriously Romantic Perfumes

The ladies at TheGloss are fragrance junkies. They are also, at this point in the day, extremely enthusiastic to cover a topic not specifically about the Royal Wedding. So, needing to curate a shopping guide but done with looking at lace dresses for a few weeks (/months), we rounded  up a handful of our favorite romantic designer perfumes. Here are the loveliest fresh and floral scents we’re currently into. More »

Friday Style Icon: Cate Blanchett’s Greatest Red Carpet Moments

Friday Style Icon: Cate Blanchett's Greatest Red Carpet Moments

Cate Blanchett has class and good taste to spare. She’s talented and poised and taken very seriously. That said, she doesn’t play it safe on the red carpet (like a lot of respected actresses in her category) and she’s not afraid to look a little crazy. Most of the time, however, her risks pay off. And yes, I am taking about the extraordinary Givenchy Haute Couture dress she wore to the Oscars (deal with it, Jennifer). So this week, we’re taking a look at some of Cate Blanchett’s greatest red carpet successes. Whether elegant in a favorite like Armani, or stunning in Valentino, or unforgettable in McQueen, Blanchett always manages to keep it interesting. More »

Shopping Guide: 20 Not-So-Basic Umbrellas To Tough Out Rainy Days

Shopping Guide: 20 Not-So-Basic Umbrellas To Tough Out Rainy Days

Yesterday, our shopping guide was, apparently, a little too season pushy. While we were scouring the internet for nude shoes worthy of an outdoor cocktail party, it was pouring outside our window. Today, we’re being a little bit more realistic by rounding up cool, striking, interesting umbrellas. Granted, some people are the kind that always lose things like umbrellas or sunglasses or what have you, so if you’re one of them, maybe sticking with the cheapy $6 street vendor umbrellas is the way to go. If you’re a little more mindful of your things, however, a nice umbrella is a really good accessory: it keeps you dry, won’t break in a stiff breeze, and can be a cool personal touch. More »
