First Eat Pray Love inspired a three-product capsule collection from beauty line Fresh.  Then Los Angeles-based nail polish company OPI looked to The Muppets for a limited edition range of colors (“Warm and Fozzie,” anyone?).  The Twilight franchise offers attendant beauty lines for both teens and adults (called Volturi and Luna, respectively).  The producers even [...]

Oh good!  Fashionista reports that the Model Alliance, a new organization founded in part to serve and protect the interests of models, has found that around 30% of models have been sexually harassed, while a rocking 50% have been exposed to cocaine.  Just in time for this statistically terrible news, a new crop of up-and-coming [...]

Nike’s offending trainers. We thought “black and tan” just referred to a mixed pint of beer, but apparently it’s also a reference to nasty British paramilitaries who went after Irish civilians in the 1920s.  And therefore, Nike’s new “Black and Tan” sneakers, released in time for St. Patrick’s Day this weekend, have caused something of [...]

So Kanye West’s debut women’s collection last fall was a critical flop.  The clothes didn’t even fit!  Not to be deterred, West actually improved this time around and put on an entertaining show, to boot.  Though no one had anything remarkably glowing to say, the powers that be seem to have reached a consensus that [...]

We’ve wondered before if daily deals were really all they’re cracked up to be.  The fairly young business model has garnered skepticism — do deal sites really bring in repeat customers for business?  Are they a valid marketing tool?  Overall, do they help or hurt their business partners?  Turns out the answers aren’t all bad.  [...]

For this week’s top curated picks, we went for cool patterns, unusual materials, and all-around standout items.  It’s March, it’s practically spring, and it seemed like high time to liven up our accessories drawer. We’re sure this double goose look will get its share of commentary. 1.  Double goose pendant on Lux Fix:  This week, [...]

It might take a fair bit of infrastructure and some celebrity sponsorship, but green dressing on the red carpet is on the rise.  At last night’s Oscars, several big names sported sustainably made dresses to which no critic could dare apply the adjective “crunchy.” Missi Pyle, in her Red Carpet Green Dress gown, on the [...]

Nowness, from LVMH, hardly mentions its parent brand. After the meteoric rise of sponsored editorial retail during the last few years, brands have weighed in and declared the experiment a success.  From major luxury conglomerates to quirky, high-end individual labels, those who’ve launched magazines or elaborate editorial sites, all seemingly unintended to sell anything, seem [...]

Sure, tracking the trends to emerge every Fashion Week can be dizzying, but following prominent attendees’ garb tends to be at least a little more uniform.  In particular, one accessory usually stands out — the “It” bag.  You might hear this expensive item is dead, but as New York Fashion Week street photography keeps proving, [...]

While professional athletes are at the top of their careers, they jet around the world making millions for playing a game that many of us with lesser skills would play for free. But athletic careers, even those that don’t get derailed by injuries, are short.  Though tennis players might play for more than a decade, [...]
