Lee Alexander McQueen's last collection was shown today in Paris. References to great works of art, imagery of wings and feathers, strikingly unusual prints, the color red: all of the late designer's signatures are here in this brief, 16-look show.

Maison Martin Margiela showed its first collection since Martin Margiela's departure from the label was confirmed, on the day owner Renzo Rosso announced he isn't seeking a new designer. There were big fur hats, trompe l'oeil trousers, and chiffon shrouds.

Belgian designer Martin Margiela — who holds a spot somewhere between Steven Meisel and Howard Hughes on the spectrum of fashionable recluses — and his namesake company may have parted ways. A member of the label's design team says that the man himself "has not been present since last season."

A raft of one-namers nabbed the six covers of V's first swimsuit issue. So how did Kate, Claudia, Daria, Eva, Naomi and Gisele come out looking so bad?

Before there was the Sartorialist, before there was Garance Doré, before Tommy Ton and the Face Hunter, way back before anyone thought to put the words "street" and "style" together, there was Bill Cunningham.

We don't have much to say about the cloven boots on SJP that everyone keeps writing about: They're by Margiela, they've been around forever, and they are the fancy version of these, which are awesome.
