Swimwear aficionados We Are Handsome know how to make the ladies look good in lycra and have graced the bods of Nicki Minaj and Rihanna alike. 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...

It all began in 2004 when Los Angeles native and former DJ, Eric Espinoza, said fuck mainstream fashion and started hand-sewing, dyeing and screen-printing clothes for both himself and his friends. Espinoza’s leading-edge designs quickly took off and UNIF (Ur Not In Fashion) Clothing was...

You already know how we feel about the future. Namely; IT IS NOW!

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...

If I had to pick my favorite affordable designer for 2011, it would have to be Jeffrey Campbell; a family run company that does not stop producing to-die-for footwear. If you like big chunky heels or hippie inspired style with edge, then a pair of Jeffery Campbell’s need to be on your feet...

I’m a college student, and I won’t lie, this semester was rough for me. You’ll be glad to know I managed to pass everything, but there were an awful lot of distractions. One such distraction was Erin Jester’s canvas bag. We shared a couple classes and I would often find...
