Victoria’s Secret runway show took place last night. Here are some of the best shots of this amazing extravaganza. Above is Adriana Lima who remains the show’s biggest star, a position she holds not only because she’s smoking hot but also because she’s the most adept at projecting the exuberant sex appeal that is the brand’s calling card.

Victoria’s Secret runway show took place last night and the list of entertainers who performed was impressive: Nicki Minaj (above), Kanye West (who is obvs LIVING in those black leather pants–lol such a dude thing to do, he probably has 20 pairs), Adam Levine and the king himself, Jay Z.  See the fellas on the next page.

Above is a video of the H&M x Versace runway show, which took place last night in New York City. I’m sitting here trying to think of any retailer or brand that does a better job of hyping its collaborations than H&M and I’m drawing a blank. It really is a master at the game. As always the Snobs view it as a big win for budget-minded fashion lovers and H&M, with a more questionable outcome for the brand being collaborated with. It would be so interesting if someone were to investigate the impact these partnerships have a year or so after all the attention has faded. A positive because of all the increased publicity or a negative with the core customer turned off by the down-marketing of a lux brand?

The first issue of Style.com/Print is available on newstands. Lindsey Wixon is featured on the cover–not suprisingly a model because according to a Times profile, the magazine’s goal is to look back at the Spring runway shows with content like, “Tommy Ton street-style photos, top-10 lists of most-viewed shows (Chanel was No. 1 with 3.5 million page views), the favorites of its editors (Balenciaga came in first), the most ubiquitous party people, the best shoes and bags and models, and the best-dressed fashionista based on reader votes (Giovanna Battaglia pulled off a major upset).” Buy it at Colette.

A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Louis Vuitton carousel that charmed everyone’s pants off.

Titled “Galactica Rustica,” Jean Charles de Castelbajac’s Spring 2012 collection takes us to a place where vintage elegance and futurism cohabitate. Hints of mod and preppiness combined with Castelbajac’s irresistible sense  of the  fun and unexpected. Enjoy!

While Milan and New York are fighting over fashion week dates, yours truly is really all about the designs that are coming from Wills India Fashion Week. The complex blend of south Asia and western influences makes for an intriguing combination that  can be so captivating. Enjoy a look at Sanchita’s Spring/Summer 2012 via F.Inquisitive.

Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 runway video. Pretty darn magical. If you want to skip ahead Kate Moss makes her first apperance at 7:04.

Louis Vuitton as steered by Marc Jacobs remains more firmly committed than ever to a ladylike posture, showing a collection of Spring 2012 bags that exuded proper society girl. Though unlike the more devious-feeling Autumn 2012 presentation, this time the prissy viewpoint of the bags was further supported by a backdrop of fashion that included Southern-belle-lunch-worthy skirts and dresses, classic mule silhouettes and even parasols (not to mention a carousel upon whose horses the girls sat side saddle)! The only naughtiness that could be seen for miles was a Louis Vuitton flask….meant to be hidden in an LV bag no doubt, perfect for getting one through life’s little dark moments–though sipped discretely of course!

Miu Miu does it again, creating a collection of shoes and accessories for Spring 2012 featuring designs that are rooted in vintage-girl charm, boosted to the heavens by silhouettes and patterns, which while often borderline over the top, make them immediately identifiable and for label lovers therefore highly covetable.
