PHOTOS: BryanBoy’s New Collab Is Not For The PC Or Color-Phobic
Before the madness of New York Fashion Week really begins later this week, we took a trip down to the Mondrian Hotel this morning to check out the goods BryanBoy designed with fur maven Adrienne Landau.

PHOTOS: For Dennis Basso, Spring Fashion Means Fur
On Tuesday, designer Dennis Basso unveiled his Spring/Summer 2011 collection at New York Fashion Week. Basso is known for working with and focusing on fur — which is why there were eight police officers outside the tents and every guest had their bag checked for paint — but somehow we were still surprised by the amount of animal skin-as-material we saw in a collection intended to be worn in warm weather.
5 Things The September Issues Made Us Want
The September issues can be overwhelming. The different cover girls, the hundreds of pages, and the countless stories make for a lot of information to absorb in a relatively short amount of time. (Thirty days for all that fashion? It’s just inhumane.)
