When walking into Greg Lauren’s installation, you may be quite unsure of what is happening. The scenario is composed of over 40 pieces of worn-looking garments with a dark color palette ranging from blacks, whites and earth-tones such as sepia, ebony and umber.
As the American Summer wanes, Fall looks have undoubtedly begun to circulate the minds and mouths of the fashion world. Women having the majority of say in purchasing decisions is an undeniable fact, reflected clearly through the following shoot. Supermodels taking hold of this corporate city, embracing well-tailored fitted pieces matched with looser yet structured forms. A black ensemble is set adjacent to a full blown leopard print guise [which one would assume to clash but in fact manages to blend ever so tastefully]. A plain oversized neutral coat is accented with just a tinge of metallic peeking out from beneath and those unexpected silk bunny ears Marc Jacobs got everyone talking about. And, of course, jeweled neck pieces almost overwhelming in size couldn’t hurt either. This particular Harper’s Bazaar editorial shot by Akrans emphasizes precisely what to watch out for within the coming months. See full spread on PaperMode.
An editorial named after a classic Velvet Underground album absolutely deserves mention. Especially in these times of ripped denim, leather aplenty, sheer sexy fabric, messy hair, smokey eyes, chains, and studs. Sex, drugs, and rock & roll makes its return in this shoot for SOMA Magazine by Kobal. See full spread on PaperMode.
Vampire/S&M style is the first impression I had of new UK based Womenswear label: Afira – The Collection is inspired by the strong, dark, archetypal woman, glamorous, passionate and heroic, from both past and present. Vamps, femme fatales and dominant women tell the stories. Leather, straps and some sheer are the main fabrics for their first collection, apparently they dont have any stockists yet, as they have barely launched…Stay tuned.

It’s getting colder in LA these days, so instead of deciding whether to wear your leather jacket, mink sable, or knit pea-coat, why not get one coat that incorporates all your favorite materials?
INSTEAD OF FLOWER POWER, DEBBIE DID LEATHERI once found a great Perfecto jacket at a secondhand store in California; it was really small, probably a child’s size. I loved it because most people were still wearing hippie-dresses to the floor back then, and we were much tougher with our straight-legged pants and narrow lapels – I guess you would have called our look Euro-mod. I used to hang around the New York Dolls, and they were definitely into those jackets. I remember having one that was black on the outside with red pleats in the back. Eventually, I started noticing lots of women in the music scene doing a “West Side Story” kind of tough-girl look with motorcycle jackets in different colors. My friend Stephen Sprouse did a cartoonlike version of the Perfecto, which I loved because it was almost to the knees. It’s cool that these jackets keep coming back – biker style is an American classic.
