Friday Style Icon: Michelle Pfeiffer as Elvira Hancock in Scarface

Friday Style Icon: Michelle Pfeiffer as Elvira Hancock in Scarface

A lot of people seem to like Al Pacino’s character’s character in Scarface. I mean, actually like him. Seemingly on a personal level?Editor-in-Chief Jennifer Wright has a theory and explains, “The DVD comes as two separate discs and they only make it through the first disc, so they’re convinced the movie ends with him running off with Elvira and his tiger.” Which brings me to Elvira, who is a “lady tiger” (per the script). She’s got an endless supply of low-cut, slinky gowns fit for a night of chainsmoking and looking achingly bored at Studio 54. Sounds awesome. Let’s do this. More »

Things That Should Come Between Mary Alice Stephenson’s Lanvin Accessories And Her New Lamborghini

Things That Should Come Between Mary Alice Stephenson's Lanvin Accessories And Her New Lamborghini

Refinery 29 recently did a list of stylist’s must have accessories for fall. Normal stuff, yes? A lot of people like ankle boots! Except for Mary Alice Stephenson who, hilariously, claimed “nothing comes between my Lanvin accessories and my new Lamborghini.

Look, we have no doubt that is true. We imagine that she is cruising the streets like the Marchesa Casati, buck naked, her gilded baubles bumping up against the steering wheel. Well and good, Mary Alice Stpehenson! Well and good! But you can’t say that in print because you sound like an entitled twit. Fortunately, she can save face with some “except” follow-ups. For example:

Maybe it’s because I still think of her as Amélie in my mind, but each time I see Audrey Tautou’s adorable little face, I can’t help but smile.

She looks just as classically pretty as ever in her latest photo spread for Marie Claire U.K. Check it out. More »

Gallery: Your First Look At Versace... For Kids

These days, being a luxury label has a few new terms: namely, you must produce a collection for every season (even if they don’t exist) and you have to make a line for kids. Lanvin just did it, Gucci did it, and now Versace. Perhaps as a balance to the Italian house’s recent branch into low end, they’ve just released a collection of unapologetically luxe clothes for those little tree-climbing, grass-rolling-in, dirt-eating, vomit monsters we call children.

Friday Style Icon: Tilda Swinton’s Greatest Red Carpet Looks

Friday Style Icon: Tilda Swinton's Greatest Red Carpet Looks

I should really title this “some of Tilda Swinton’s Greatest Red Carpet Looks” because there’s only 15 slides here and in my opinion few women come anywhere near her fashion prowess. While most actresses rely heavily on romantic, pretty dresses by Marchesa or Elie Saab, Swinton’s fallbacks are Haider Ackermann, Jil Sander and Lanvin. She may get blasted by idiotic red carpet correspondents (who themselves dress like overgrown princesses suffocating under 4 lbs. of makeup), but it doesn’t matter at all: the only thing Swinton has more of than style is… talent. Let’s spend a few minutes appreciating this original. More »

Gallery: Enjoy Lanvin's Kid Clothing With Quotes From Das Kapital

Remember when I told you about 19th Century oil tycoon Alber Elbaz’s decision to launch a “superluxury” line of children’s clothing, and most of you agreed that it would hasten the demise of capitalism by several decades? Well, Sir Elbaz made good on the threat, and now there are photos to prove it. (My anarcho-commie boyfriend is doing the Snoopy dance as we speak.) Is the Lanvin kids’ line ridiculously cute, or just ridiculous? You be the judge. More »
