Girlcore started when a group of six girls didn’t want to be told that the party was over last summer at London’s Secret Gardens. Today, the DIY collective that used to be “girls only” is hosting some of the most coveted mashed-up parties in England. Take their last “Glitterball” (above), a posh ending to the London Fashion week. More »
We like to check in with Banksy every so often. We’re pretty sure the Brit has an inner New Yorker, which is why he stops into town every now and again. Between the pet shops, Keszler stops in Southampton and Houston Street murals; we’re hooked. The timing for one of the artist’s reality doses seems especially appropriate, now that we are in a grey zone somewhere between bottle service blow outsand thrift obsession, since supposedly the recession is over.

The House of HollandSpring 2010 collection caused a frenzy this week with photographers losing their marbles over catching shots of guests Agyness Deyn, Alexa Chung, and many more. The backstage action was just as hectic while models prepared to walk the runway with teased up-dos drenched in Henry Holland’s vibrant and very lacy collection… More »
Lets all collectively thank Jeremy Scott for taking us back to the town of Bedrock in Hanna-Barbera-Land shall we? The celebrity favorite and fashionably-brave designer made his London Fashion Week debut with his caveman-friendly Spring 2010 collection showing off his Flinstones-inspired designs. Models strutted down the runway in clothes only fit for Pebbles and Bamm Bamm at their stylish best… More »
They’ve all moved to New York for one reason or another, but Emma Watson, Agyness Deyn, and Alexa Chung are all home for London Fashion Week. Agyness and Alexa we can understand, but Emma? The freshman at Brown University claims to want an “American college experience”, but we’re pretty sure she’s the only Brown student who flew to London for the Burberry Show. Never to miss a fashion event, Mary-Kate Olsen also flew over for the festivities. It definitely takes a tireless set of girls to keep up with Anna! More »
This is why Anna Wintour is superhuman: while most New Yorkers are just now recovering from NY Fashion Week exhaustion, Anna Wintour is STILL GOING! Despite probably being bone-tired from the past two weeks, AND jet-lagged, she’s has to rally for the folks across the pond at London Fashion Week . Our (haute-couture) hats are off to you, Anna.

Relieved that the Fashion Week Insanity that took over NYC last week is finally over? Well, skip over this post. Because Fashion Week is just beginning for our friends over in London, and some of our favorite New York characters (like Olivia Palermo, left) headed across the pond for round two of fashion insanity. How do they get through not one but TWO fashion weeks back to back?! Thankfully, we didn’t actually have to book our own tickets to keep up on all of London Fashion Week gossip. We have Derek Blaseberg’s tweets to do that for us! More photos, including the Matthew Williamson show, below… More »
GQ hosted the Men of the Year awards at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden, yesterday. Elvis Costello, Mickey Rourke, Guy Richie and Michael Sheen were among the honorees. In addition to the excitement about who took home the accolade just for being a dude were the whispers surrounding a tiff involving Kate Moss. As we noted in the morning’s coverage, the model angrily stormed out of the soiree. Maybe she was sad she wasn’t eligible to take home a trophy? More »
A bunch of Guinnesses showed up at the London launch of Daphne Guinness‘ new fragrance, “Daphne“, including designer Lulu Guinness, but Daphne herself was oddly missing. The fragrance, which is co-produced by Comme Des Garcons, has a heart of tuberose, which she claims used to be eaten by pterodactyls, and who doesn’t want to smell like pterodactyl food? The fragrance is on sale through the Dover Street Market, and will be available worldwide on September 18th. Click below for more pictures of guests who actually showed up to the launch… More »
Once again The Cobrasnake found himself on safari in London’s Catch Bar and once again he brought back photos of some of the city’s most progressive “trend-setters” in their native habitat - namely, inebriation. Granted, the majority of the style choices made by this group of Londoners were edgy, innovative and outright gorgeous, but after looking through the photos I realized I have some proverbial bones to pick… More »
