Valentino’s fall 2016 Haute Couture presentation was reportedly inspired by “the Shakespearean world transformed into an emotional alchemy,” which evidently included a broad reimagining of the ruff, that starched ruffled status symbol that makes portraits of Queen Elizabeth I look kind of like her head is on a…
Aphrodite herself might murmur a polite little “Holy shit” if she saw the Valentino Spring 2016 couture collection.
Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand for close, personal friends of Gwyneth Paltrow, has been robbed! MRKT, the company’s pop-up shop in New York City, was burgled of “a very limited number of items” totaling more than $173,000.
Valentino Garavani and his “close friend,” actress Anne Hathaway, attended the Flower Power party in Ibiza this week, where they resembled the opposite ends of a chart about UV exposure. The 83-year-old fashion designer’s entire look—from his blue suede shoes to his skin tone that laughs in the face of sunscreen…
Because fashion really has become just as ridiculous as its parodic movie depictions, the Valentino show at Paris Fashion Week just closed with Zoolander's Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson—in character as rival male models Derek Zoolander and the mononymous Hansel, respectively—having a walk-off. Don't you know I'm loco?!
And it may or may not be her entire naked body?
With all the shocking news that's come out about Mama June lately, it's kind of hard to be surprised by the latest nugget of information that's found itself out of the bleak and awful mess that is Mama June getting back together with her daughter's molester, but here it is anyway: This isn't June's first time at the…
Today in Paris, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli showed their fall/winter haute couture line for Valentino. The collection, as a whole, was gorgeous, regal, sensual — ancient goddess-wear with a modern twist.

This is fucking gro-o-o-o-o-ooossss! Both Valentino and the UGG corporation have been caught attempting to leverage Philip Seymour Hoffman's celebrity-heavy funeral for brand recognition.
The fall/winter collection for Valentino — designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaulo Piccioli — was presented yesterday during Paris Fashion Week, and it was a wee bit buttoned-up. Sure, there were some girlish jumpers and with crisp white collars and luxurious ermine coats. But what about the long dresses with…
Happy last-Dirt-Bag-of-the-year!!! Let's talk about death. There's no rhyme or reason—or significance, really—to grouping people together based on the year in which they died. It's pretty arbitrary, if you think about it. Tony Scott's suicide doesn't have anything to do with Michael Clarke Duncan's heart disease. But…
Last night Real Live Movie Stars™ hit the red carpet at the Odeon Leicester Square in London, for the world premiere of Lay Miz. 'Twas a black tie affair, which means there were tuxedoes, but also: Weird bustlines, bare shoulders and crumpled taffeta.
Last night, a small galaxy of fashionable stars hit Lincoln Center for the New York City Ballet Fall Gala. This season, Valentino is designing for the ballet, creating stunning handmade costumes (some of which you can see here). With a big name couture designer involved, you expect some fancy-ass red carpet ensembles,…
Nilina Mason-Campbell ran around Paris to get a fresh look at couture. Not the runway-shot, brand-manicured take we always get. The street-skulking, exhilarating flash-and-grab honesty of the perennial non-ticket-holder! (It's not our fault we don't know any PRs in Paris.)
Who has a lot of opinions about what Kate Middleton should wear the day she becomes a princess? Designers, that's who! From Karl Lagerfeld, who favors "high boots," to Christian Lacroix, who designed an Elizabethan bodice, everyone has a fantasy.
