Their dreamy digital portraits of flora and fauna, and city and landscapes, take you away to a place that manifests summertime. Who wouldn’t want to feel animalistic with a lion-faced one-piece adorned across their torso? Their most recent additions of late ’50s and early ’60s-inspired swims, maxi skirts and playful dresses are a bold array that pack a hard punch with their vibrant...

You already know how we feel about the future. Namely; IT IS NOW! We’re completely obsessed, and clothing that mirrors our love of futurism with big geometry, angles and edginess always grabs our attention. Today, we’re introducing you to a young Georgian designer based out of London – David Koma. Though he’s a youngster at 25, he’s already received numerous accolades for his forward-thinking designs.

posted by Heretics
One lucky group of fashion bloggers and models had the chance to board a customized Virgin America flight from JFK to LAX today, showcasing Banana Republic’s newest Mad Men-inspired clothing line. The show only featured four looks, but B.R. didn’t disappoint their in-flight guests. Both lavish cocktails and goody-bag swag were provided to those attending the runway in the sky, completing the full fashion-show ambiance. Not to mention men with mugs pretty enough to rival Don Draper himself. We’re jealous we weren’t there, but the collection hits stores tomorrow and these live-Tweeted photos from the passengers’...

Being a part of the young 20-something hipster era means that when it comes to fashion we all want one thing: to be original. And of course, by original, I actually mean recycling what was once cool, but now sits forgotten at the bottom of a trunk in your grandmother’s attic. It’s hard to...
Black Milk Clothing: A Love Affair With Nylon
posted by Kat Bein
Once upon a time, there was a man named James Lillis, and he was poor – until he started making some of the sexiest leggings known to the world of fashion. Lillis is the brain and hands behind Black Milk Clothing. He makes leggings, dresses, swimsuits, bodysuits and skirts out of exclusively nylon fabrics. But this is no tacky-disco 80s trash. Black Milk Clothing is like works of art you can wear. A lot of pieces are very limited release, so super-fans know to check religiously for the best new styles and patterns. I’m particularly into the galaxy leggings and skeleton/skull wear. This stuff isn’t cheap. The leggings start...

Soft, warm colors are out this year. What you need to kick-off 2012 on the right foot is a pair of bright red pants. When I say red, I am not talking about a faded red, or a burnt orange-ish red, I am talking about Big Apple Red. Bold. Strong. Vibrant red. I know you might feel like you are...
