Paris Fashion Week Fall 2014 Hits and Misses: Part 1 (Forum Buzz)

The fashion coming out of Paris this season? So. Good. There were so many hits as far as forum members were concerned that narrowing them down to three proved difficult. Difficult, but not impossible. Here’s a look at the favorites and the ones that missed the mark.


The Hits: Dries Van Noten, Christophe Lemaire, Undercover. Images via IMAXtree.

Dries Van Noten


“I adore this! It's easily one of the best collections of the season for me. I never thought I'd say this as I normally dislike strong prints and patterns, but I would and want to wear every single piece of it. It's such a fun yet chic collection and it's amazing how clean and slick it looks when there's so much going on.” [sore]


“A Dries Van Noten Collection is always a breath of fresh air. This one is sublime, chic, marvelous. Can't get tired of looking at it. Those lines and silhouettes with that mix of prints that he does so well is amazing. Love him!” [Rose Pulchra]


“Gauguin meets graphism! This is so good. He uses elements that put together should look so wrong but it makes them look so right. I love the flowers clashing with the lines and the sequins. The silhouette is very fluid but quite strong, with shapes as well. He creates beauty in oppositions and makes it look so easy & chic.” [Wolkfolk]


See all the looks and read our review of the Dries Van Noten collection.




Christophe Lemaire


“This is so much fun, everything looks so cozy and I want to wear all of it, crazily layered like that. Nice! Not usually a fan of his work because I'm not so much into 'oversized everything', but the silhouettes here work because the proportions are very cleverly done. And the styling makes this very appealing. Gorgeous collection.” [Psylocke]


“I want him and Phoebe Philo to make clothes for me. Or you know, just give me the whole collection for free.” [LolaSvelt]


“His work just makes me happy. It's quiet, it's romantic, it's artisanal (which relates to the romanticism for me)… it's timeless.” [Scott]

Undercover


“Brilliance.” [MulletProof]


“Wild, in an awe striking way. Last season got a big eye roll from me, but this season has me bowing down.” [HeatherAnne]


“This is legitimate perfection. I love it so so so much.” [vandekamp]

Nina Ricci Gets Inspired by a Woman in Her Home Environment for Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

nina-ricci-rf14-2176


The Scene: Jessica Alba, Anna Dello Russo, Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld along with all of the other expected top editors and buyers.


The Inspiration: Dominique de Menil in her own home environment, according to WWD.


The Look: Peter Copping's inspiration was subtly reflected in everything from the head of the runway, which was upholstered in plum damask fabric, to the shoes, which called to mind bedroom slippers. Fittingly, there were plenty of beautifully draped blanket coats with generous collars, slinky satin dresses, lace-accented dresses, drop-waist florals, layered, lightweight separates and cashmere pajama pants. There were also, however, more fitted pieces, namely a series of pencil skirts and trim tops as well as a number of fur and brocade looks, making for a well-balanced and luxurious collection.


The Accessories: Fur-accented, ankle strap heels that mimicked heeled bedroom slippers, minaudières, oversized, graphically-embellished clutches and fur handbags.


The Beauty: Center-parted hair tucked behind the ears and a clean, natural face.


The Takeaway: A cohesive collection with a great mix of silhouettes, all of which will certainly be worth wearing outside the home.

Real Women Once Again Hit Rick Owens’ Futuristic Runway for Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

owens-rf14-4831


The Scene: In addition to top models, including Hanne Gaby Odiele, the designer once again opted to show his collection on real women of all shapes, sizes, races and ages.


The Inspiration: Furturistic.


The Look: Done in a black, brown and gray color palette, the collection stuck to the designer’s mix of futuristic (leather, knee-high sneakers anyone?), urban and draped looks. With pointed shoulders and sheath-like elongated silhouettes, many of the designer's pieces appeared like armor, especially the ones with sleeves that morphed into gloves with zippers so as to allow hands to peek out. Tops with contrastingly lined hoods, hooded leather jackets, oversized and cocoon-like outerwear and tops as well as multi-texture fitted pants and oversized tops with wildly supersized arms were also in the mix. The show closed with a coat that appeared to have been morphed into a sling, capping off a collection that was more art than fashion.


The Accessories: Leather, knee-high sneakers.


The Beauty: Hair ranged from center-parted and worn down to tightly pulled back. All the models had clean faces, natural eyes and pink lips.


The Takeaway: This won't be an easy collection to translate into retail as shown on the runway, but hopefully it won't take long for more of Owens' work to end up in museums — a much better place for his conceptual designs.

Lanvin is All About Fringe for Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

lanvin-rf14-5359


The Scene: Rihanna, who stars in Balmain's spring ad campaign, was scheduled to come to the brand's show. She did, but unfortunately she was so late that all the guests had left by the time she got there. The singer did, however, make it on time — with a slew of bodyguards in tow — to Lanvin along with Emma Roberts.


The Inspiration: Fashion as a dream factory — extreme and extravagant, according to WWD.


The Look: True to Alber Elbaz’s inspiration, the collection was a dream (and extravagant), but in the best possible way. By sticking with a clean palette and mostly monochrome looks, the designer was able to push the envelope with his surface embellishments, which included heavy doses of fur and fringe. The collection stayed utterly wearable throughout with a number of standouts, including slinky, silk dresses, a long, pleated strapless dress, fringed tops, coats and mini dresses, cinched trenches, fur-topped jackets and separates with fur bodices.


The Accessories: Pointed flats and booties, chunky-heeled, knee-high boots, satin ankle strap wedges, fringed bags, fur clutches, leather bags with a flap created to slip an arm into and feathered hats.


The Beauty: Models' hair was pulled back and worn tightly up and they were given a dramatic black winged eye.


The Takeaway: While there's no denying that Elbaz has a knack for sculpted cocktail dresses, it was a welcome surprise to see him steer this season's collection in a new, but equally sophisticated and upbeat direction (or at least as upbeat as it gets with a dark palette).

Carven Fall 2014: Playful and Sophisticated (Runway Review)

carven fall 14 landscape


The Inspiration: The trademark Carven girl, in moods both playful and sophisticated.


The Look: Guillaume Henry knows his worth as a designer of quirky, trendy, hit-making pieces. Taking cues from 60s (and before) stylings, Henry created a collection that was both trendy (collage-y graphics, cute arrow-shaped embellishments) and long-lasting (coats of every thrilling solid color, including mustard, deep coral, light brick). Incorporating both concepts is genius in being both of-the-moment and enduring. Flippy, easy dress silhouettes rule Carven shows, and it was no different today, though longer midi and maxi hems did make an appearance. Great prints, great coats—what more could you ask for?


The Accessories: Platform pumps and soft geometric clutches in a variety of fabrics.


The Beauty: A deep side part and a healthy flushed look—blush and slightly colored eyes.


The Takeaway: Carven does it again, with a trademark we're still thrilled by.

Vionnet Shows a Nature-Inspired Fall 2014 Collection with Mixed Results (Runway Review)

vionnet-rf14-3060


The Inspiration: Designer Goga Ashkenazi told WWD that he was inspired by the idea of “architecture versus nature.” In keeping with that, a tent in the Tuileries was set up with 20,000 fresh tulips.


The Look: The show very clearly reflected the designer’s inspiration, unfortunately it translated into mixed results. The styling for some of the looks — as with a knit turquoise sweater paired with a tulip-inspired beige skirt — had some hiccups, and there’s questionable appeal in the felt looks that opened the show (not to mention the collection's oddball sock-like and furry shoes). Similarly, high-waist pleated pants and mink tops will be exceedingly difficult to pull off for most women and a few of the looks suffered from tailoring issues — some appeared too tight, as with a green and navy paneled slit dress, while others appeared too large, as with a navy quilted long jacket. More success was found in the stiffly geometric paneled tops, draped jumpers and monochrome below-the-knee pleated skirts, but whether those offered enough luxury appeal to convince someone to forgo Zara and splurge remains to be seen.


The Accessories: Shoes this season were on the oddball side with many of the models wearing either flat or heeled multicolored fur shoes.


The Beauty: Clean faces, pale lips and clumped-together lashes heavy on mascara were complemented by free-flowing hair.


The Takeaway: Vionnet is trying hard to make a comeback, but this collection showed the brand still has a way to go.

Gareth Pugh Ditches Black for White for Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

gareth-pugh-rf14-1928


The Look: Just when you thought Gareth Pugh was going for something more commercial, he does a 180 — and by that we mean the king of gothic black showed a Fall collection done, with a few metallic exceptions, entirely in white and ivory. The keys this season, especially given that most looks were monochrome or played with different shades of white, were proportion and texture. The most beautiful looks were the designer’s structured and sculpted tops, separates made out of rectangular paillettes along with high-neck jackets. While the lineup wasn't commercial in a traditional sense, most of the looks, pending you are onboard with winter whites, were wearable. For the fashion-as-art set, however, the offering also included robes with supersized kimono sleeves, dresses and sweaters with extra large funnel necks that almost swallowed the models wearing them, robes that looked as though they were made out of plastic as well as super-tall, structured Pharrell-esque hats.


The Accessories: Boots that mimicked the look of slouchy pants.


The Beauty: Models wore hats or head coverings and their faces were powdered white.


The Takeaway: It seems the designer has found a happy medium by showing both wearable looks and museum-worthy pieces.

Rochas Fall 2014: A Splashy Debut from Alessandro Dell’Acqua (Runway Review)

rochas-rf14-1715c


The Scene: Marco Zanini's recent departure and highly-anticipated debut at Schiaparelli were casting a long shadow on Alessandro Dell'Acqua's first collection for the house.


The Look: Just when you think you know what direction Rochas is going in, it changes it up and as the Fall 2014 show proves, that sometimes happens within one collection. From oversized alpaca to PVC skirts and beading that was more dangerous than delicate, there was a lot to sink your teeth into. Dell-Acqua dispensed with the confectionary colors early on as light blues and pinks gave way to deep marine and jewel tones. A lovely black velvet and gray knit sweater was struck with the same affliction of over-layering, which has become so tiresome this season. It was worn over a beige wool peplum with a lumpy, brocade, below-the-knee skirt with metallic fringe detail, three-quarter length purple leather gloves and sharp, beaded shoes. When I say sharp I don't mean stylish, I mean beading that looks more like a medieval weapon than an accessory. While the goth detail was enjoyable, it was just one more extreme element in looks already piled high. Although there was some sleek tailoring — a cropped, beaded jacket and a long, blue, A-line coat — the silhouettes in general were so tricky, they were distracting. The beading headed for the same fate — beautifully done, but best when executed in relative moderation.


The Accessories: The crazy beaded gloves and shoes were the story here, and likely to be one of the biggest accessory stories of Paris, if sheer shock value is anything to go by. There were also some cat eye sunglasses.


The Beauty: Spidery statement lashes overwhelmed the natural skin and lip. More middle parts with glossy, "natural" waves. Nothing new here.


The Takeaway: Alessandro's debut for Rochas certainly won't be deemed a failure since he took many signatures of the house and tried to work his creative will upon them. With practice and perhaps a bit of editing, one could see how this would be far more successful in the future.

Paris Fashion Week Street Style: It Begins!

Ah, Paris. We can always count on Paris Fashion Week showgoers to really turn it out: super dressed-up looks and designer pieces ad nauseum. Think: more classic, with just a dash of trendy thrown in for good measure. We love all our street style reports equally, but if we said we favored the snaps from Paris just a little more, would you really be all that surprised?

Tim Gunn’s Style Rules for Every Age

Julianne Moore,Chloe Grace Moretz; FayesVision/WENN.com

Julianne Moore,Chloe Grace Moretz; FayesVision/WENN.com



For the most part, women in their 40s shouldn't wear the same clothes as they did when they were in their 20s. This is particularly important for women to remember who have remained the same shape and size. Your body may look the same, but you've had so many more experiences with the world and the message that you want to put out there should shift in accordance. It's irresponsible for a mother to dress like her teenage daughter and I see it all the time! Same applies to men. I'm constantly surprised at how many men I see in their 50s dressing exactly the same way as they did when they were in high school.


That said, dressing age-appropriately does not have to mean being matronly or dowdy; it just means you shouldn't show too much skin. No matter your age, however, it's key to remember that getting it right has nothing to do with individual items, but rather with three intangible items — silhouette, proportion and fit. When those elements are in balance, you will look good no matter what you are wearing.


I will add though that there are certain things you can invest in, in your 20s, and they will last you decades to come. I'm a big believer in investing in outerwear. A trench coat, for example, is great because you can wear it to the grocery store just as easily as you could to meet Oprah and it doesn't have to be the classic Burberry khaki trench, it can be anything that resonates with you and your lifestyle.

Back to the 60s: Edie Campbell is Vogue Japan’s April Cover Girl (Forum Buzz)

Yes, you've read the title right — April issues are starting to come out. The first cover to surface online is Vogue Japan. Patrick Demarchelier shot British model Edie Campbell wearing a Prada dress, which was styled by Nicoletta Santoro. Campbell's hair was styled by James Pecis into a 60s pixie cut, with makeup by Aaron de Mey to complete the look.

From my personal experience on the forums, most members either love or hate Edie Campbell. While I'm not her biggest fan, I do think she looks fantastic here and the direction the team behind the shoot aimed for has done Edie justice.


"After so many months of grunge Edie, 60s Edie is certainly welcome," agreed Melancholybaby.


TREVOFASHIONISTO commented, "I love this cover, reminds of when she had bangs and was marketed as the mod 'it-girl.'"


Nepenthes also shared the same sentiments, "The cover layout is too cluttered but the shot itself is really beautiful. I agree that seeing Edie styled like this is a welcome change. Sometimes I wish she'd grow out her hair again but keep the dark colour and the bangs even though I do like how they styled her hair for this cover."


Not everyone was on board with Edie's revived look with Bertrando3 writing, "Edie is bland for me but here I like the pose/hair/styling by Demarchelier but I still believe she doesn't bring anything to her modeling pictures, she just hangs there."

DSquared2 Sets Up a Psych Ward for Fashion Victims for Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

dsquared2-rf14-0602


The Scene: You can always expect theatrics at a Dan and Dean Caten show and this season didn't disappoint with the duo setting up a psych ward for fashion victims (no comment on where someone who would wear one of the season's Pharrell-esque hats would land).


The Inspiration: The 60s.


The Look: A few kooky hats, overly embellished sunglasses, hospital-themed accessories (ahem, sparkly neck braces) as well as snakeskin dresses and separates. Jackets aside, this season’s collection was one of the design duo’s most wearable to date. Heavily 60s-inspired, there were mod-ish six button jackets, feathered cape coats, miniskirt suits, fur-accented and colorblocked shifts along with leopard separates in the mix, though it will undoubtedly be the padded cuffs and bejeweled neck braces that will end up being the most memorable.


The Accessories: Structured mini top handle handbags, padded cuffs, ankle bracelets, embellished neck braces and strappy sandals with locks.


The Beauty: A mix of old Hollywood updos and carefree, center-parted hair worn down. Models had a brown smoky eye.


The Takeaway: With a good amount of wearable shifts, covetable leopard pieces and quirky shoes, DSquared2 showed enough pieces to keep their clients out of any fashion psych wards, as long as those neck braces don't make it to retail.

MSGM Marries Prints and Simplicity for Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

msgm fall 14 landscape


The Look: MSGM has been building its empire on expertly done (and quirkily mismatched) prints, and this collection proves the label is keen to continue its reign. The look was familiar, although coolly abstract — a sleeveless blue pea coat with tan colored fur attached at the bottom mimicked a serene beach scene — and slightly trippy, but more than simply wearable. Florals and a cut-and-paste feel abounded, but even the more simple pieces (an oversized coat, a three-piece matching suit) were done with a deft hand. MSGM's ability to never overdo it (there's a subtle simplicity inherent in everything) will keep them ahead of the print pack.


The Accessories: Fur-covered mitts and colorblocked sandals along with bags piped in a contrasting color. Loafers featured thick soles or were comprised of fur.


The Beauty: Crystals placed just below the eyes, inner lids lined in a subtle white and wine-stained, just-bitten lips.


The Takeaway: MSGM feels like a breath of fresh air and a mediator in the fight between print/embellishment excess versus sartorial simplicity.

Roberto Cavalli’s Clothes — and Runway — Were on Fire for Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

cavalli-rf14-0334


The Scene: Despite his recent slam on celebrity endorsements, Samantha Barks, Ellie Goulding and Cheryl Cole were all seated front row at Roberto Cavalli's show, which boasted a runway set up with a center ring of fire that burned for the duration of the show.


The Inspiration: Heat. The designer also noted that this season was about "energy and rebirth—like a Phoenix."


The Look: The ring of fire, which legitimately scared a number of editors given how packed the show was, tied into the designer's collection, which included floor-length silk gowns, trousers, suits, coats and dresses all printed with bright orange flames as well as fire-colored furs, while tassels with fiery beads were also in the mix and many of the looks looked almost as though they were catching fire. Cavalli classics like leather biker jackets, fitted trousers, tops and jackets fashioned out of snakeskin in a variety of colors, leather pants, shredded dresses and a series of beautiful drop-waist flapper dresses with elaborate fringe beading, as well as a black fringe skirt, rounded out the collection.


The Accessories: Pointed black pumps, strappy sandals, tasseled handbags and oversized tassel necklaces.


The Beauty: Hair was pulled out of the face and models were given a black cat eye.


The Takeaway: Love it or hate it, the work that went into Robert Cavalli's very detailed collection — fringe beading and all — was undeniably impressive.

Bottega Veneta Shows a Dress-Heavy Fall 2014 Collection (Runway Review)

bottega-veneta-rf14-0441


The Inspiration: “The collection is about movement, energy and confidence," noted Creative Director Tomas Maier. "We are always thinking about what clothes should do for a woman and her personal experience of them."


The Look: Tailored, but relaxed in silhouette, Tomas Maier’s pieces moved beautifully on the runway. Done in a color palette that mixed pale shades of mist, light gray, sand and beige-pink with deeper shades, including burned red, chartreuse, purple and emerald green, the collection had a strong architectural feel with its pleats, slits and graphic digital prints. Particularly beautiful were the designer’s clean-lined jersey dresses with two-toned tiny pleats — and lucky for fans of the brand because the below-the-knee aforementioned dresses dominated the pant-less collection.


The Accessories: Top-handle patchwork bags, narrow high-heeled suede booties, pumps with flame-like geometric details on their backs along with jewelry in antiqued sterling and pink sterling,


The Beauty: Makeup was kept natural and hair was tightly pulled back.


The Takeaway: Though it would have been nice to see some trousers and a gown or two in the mix, it was an undeniably luxe and sophisticated lineup.

A Parade of Paisley for Etro’s Fall 2014 Collection (Runway Review)

etro-rf14-1482


The Inspiration: "The Etro woman takes inspiration from folk couture and wrapping the body with a cozy embrace," according to the brand.


The Look: It was quintessential Etro for Fall 2014, which translated into a crafty lineup filled with lots of bohemian silhouettes and even more paisley and other exotic winter prints. Past Etro collections have suffered from poor styling decisions, but with layering more toned down this season, the collection didn't feel overwhelming despite the rich fabrics and abundance of surface embellishments. Patchworked blanket coats, flowing capes and cropped jackets made for the season's best pieces and tied into the "cozy" inspiration. Also worth singling out were the collection's pleated dresses and skirts and the wide-leg metallic paisley trousers.


The Accessories: Structured neutral envelope clutches and shoulder bags, fur bags with long straps, gold jewelry, suede boots and pointed pumps.


The Beauty: Fishtail braids and natural makeup.


The Takeaway: Etro has long maintained that the paisley is a timeless motif and those that agree will find plenty to love in its Fall collection.

Milan Fashion Week Fall 2014 Hits and Misses: Part 1 (Forum Buzz)

Several of Milan’s mighty fell to the bottom of the heap this season, while others surprised, delighted and rose to the top. Alberta Ferretti , Fendi and Prada were all in the mix, but where did they land when forum members passed judgment? Read on to find out.


The Hits: No. 21, Alberta Ferretti, Moschino. Images via IMAXtree.

The Hits: No. 21, Alberta Ferretti, Moschino. Images via IMAXtree.

“THIS WAS AMAZING! Lived for every look. I am very pleasantly surprised at how good of a collection this is. Jeremy Scott did a phenomenal job!” [maxlinden]


“Thank god someone is still having fun in this industry! This is incredible. It is just so fabulous, so vulgar, so fun. Literally the last thing in the whole world that we need are more ‘sensible,’ ‘good taste’ clothes. Ever since Phoebe [Philo] started at Céline (god bless her) the entire industry has sobered up so much you'd think we were living in the fashion equivalent of prohibition!” [dior_couture1245]


“Amen to all that, dior_couture1245. It's about time we got to have some fun. I think it's all very Jeremy Scott while still incorporating the sense of fun, especially with text, that was a hallmark of some of my favorite Moschino looks over the years.” [tangerine]

Moschino Serves Up an Ode to Pop Culture for Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

moschino fall 14 landscape


The Inspiration: McDonald's, 80s New York, SpongeBob SquarePants and candy.


The Look: Moschino goes kitsch, perfected. Expertly and hilariously riffing on every pop culture topic under the sun (multinational fast food chains, kids' cartoons, sweet treats and beer), Jeremy Scott's Moschino managed to make a highly conceptual collection that still contained a few wearables. The show began with an awesome business-front/party-back traditional cardigan with Chanel-esque colorblocking in front and McDonald's/Moschino mashup intarsia on the back. From there it hit on cows (black/white printed two-piece sets), 80s hip-hop (quilted jackets and skirts, pocket tops decorated with heavy gold chains) and even SpongeBob SquarePants (everything from circle bags to lace-up heeled booties to a fuzzy polka dot jacket). If you're not laughing — and feeling a weird attraction to certain pieces — while viewing this collection, you're simply not paying attention.


The Accessories: Themed to-the-nines, including SpongeBob SquarePants booties and McDonald's heels. It's hard to pick the best, but we're really into the structured, chain strap bag shaped like the traditional Happy Meal packaging.


The Beauty: Pixie-cut wigs in every typical hair color, pale pink lips along with mostly naked faces.


The Casting: Lily McMenamy opened, Lindsey Wixson closed (in a nutrition facts themed wedding dress).


The Takeaway: We refuse to imagine the fashion landscape without the Moschino sense of humor.

Ports 1961 Presents Investment Pieces with Some Interest for Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

ports fall 14 landscape


The Inspiration: The modern working woman who wants something a little cooler than the norm.


The Look: Talk about class! This is really the collection for the woman who already has everything, but craves investment pieces with some interest. These looks are familiar but with enough added detail (an oxford with sheer paneling, a trench that's part sherpa, part canvas) to make them completely new. The styling may be the best part — a plain sweater dress and skirt were elevated into something really cool with some thoughtful layering. A no-nonsense color palette (white, black, navy, deep olive) and relatively conservative hemlines means this woman cares as much about her career as she does high-end, long-lasting fashion.


The Accessories: A neat, short necklace that mimics vertebrae plus long, knee-skimming scarves.


The Beauty: Frosty lids, pale pink lips and a deep side part.


The Casting: Joan Smalls closed.


The Takeaway: And the award for coolest work wardrobe updates goes to…Ports 1961.

Costume National Unveils Classics with a Twist for Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

costume national fall 14 landscape


The Look: Straightforward classics with a twist. Think monochrome outfits (ranging in color from warm cream to bright purple), piecey work-appropriate looks and just straight-up cool pieces. Costume National is really good at kind of reinventing the wheel — these are not new silhouettes, but they end up being rather thrilling under the house's deft hands. The details make the difference here. Pants with a perfectly crisp crease, a shlubby-cool sleeve on a vertical stripe dress and slouchy collars on all manner of garments. Rather neat were the menswear-inspired pieces. Instead of a traditional blazer, Costume National presented a fabric-collage jacket and a jacket-inspired dress with pieces smartly subtracted (and a satiny lapel-like neckline).


The Accessories: Flatforms everywhere.


The Beauty: Strong but subtle brows, slightly tanned faces.


The Takeaway: We'd gladly take Costume National's classics-with-a-twist signature any day of the week.

Which Birth Control Method is Right for Your Skin?

Getty

Getty



We all know that contraception is one of the most important things in our reproductive health toolkit, but for many women, birth control is also an essential part of their routine for beautiful skin. With all the barriers, pills, implants and patches available today, though, it can be difficult to understand the benefits (and drawbacks) that each type of contraceptive has on acne. So, we’ve done a little fact-finding to breakdown the most common methods of birth control and their affects on the skin.


Method: Condoms


How it affects your skin: Most women get a friendly reminder every 28 days of the affects our hormones have on our acne. Without forcing you to re-live health class, let us remind you that acne is caused by a fatal combination of skin, bacteria and built-up sebum — and sebum production is regulated by hormones. So, although condoms are by far the most popular method of birth control used in America, because they have no affect on our hormones, they also have no affect on our skin.


Method: The Pill


How it affects your skin: Gynecologists often prescribe the hormonal birth control pill — the most common method of hormonal contraceptive used in the U.S. — to teenage girls not only to help protect them against pregnancy, but also to clear up the acne that comes with the turbulent adolescent years. It works because it ups your levels of estrogen and lowers the levels of sebum-producing hormones. Usually with oral contraceptives, there will be a brief break-out period as your body adjusts to the new hormones, eventually leveling out to overall clearer skin in a few months. But did you know that only three birth control pills have actually been FDA-approved to blast your blemishes? These are the combination-type pills which contain a double-dose of hormones (estrogen and progesterone) and you might know them as YAZ, Ortho Tri-Cyclen and Estrostep. With that said, birth control pills that contain only progestogens and no estrogen (aka the Mini-Pill) may actually make acne worse because progesterone can stimulate sebum production.


Method: The Patch


How it affects your skin: Ortho Evra, commonly referred to as “the Patch," uses a similar hormonal cocktail as the combination birth control pills, so it’s associated with the same skin-clearing benefits. One small consideration is that the patch is worn at all times and must be applied to clean, dry skin, so you won’t be able to use any lotion or powder around the area where you stick it (most often the thigh, hip or upper arm).


Method: The Shot


How it affects your skin: This injectable contraceptive method, known by the brand name Depo-Provera, is another form of birth control that works by delivering only progestogen. Though this may be beneficial to some women for other reasons, it means that it will probably not have the same reducing effect on sebum production as other forms of birth control. In fact, increased breakouts are often cited as a side effect of the shot.


Method: The Implant


How it affects your skin: IUDs or intrauterine devices are another non-estrogen form of birth control. Like the pill, different types will have different affects on the skin. Hormonal IUDs like Mirena, which releases low-levels of progestin, may cause an increase in acne in the first few months. Because these long-term, internal methods use such low-levels of hormones compared to other forms of birth control, however, many users find that hormone-induced breakouts balance out after a few months. ParaGard is a copper implant that contains no hormones, so in theory it shouldn’t have an impact on hormonal acne. A quick Google search, however, will turn up many users frustrated by acne that they believe is a side effect of their copper IUD, so it’s probably best to talk to a professional if you’re interested in this method, but concerned about your skin.


Remember, hormones are only one of the factors that contribute to your our skin woes. Maintaining a healthy diet, practicing a consistent skincare routine and consulting a dermatologist about any problems are essential as well. It’s also important to keep in mind that besides its effect on the skin, there are myriad other effects involved with each form of birth control, and you should always talk to your women’s health doctor to make a comprehensive decision about which form is right for your skin and your body. Here's to happy hormones!

Flashback: A Platnium Blonde Kate Moss Covers Vogue Paris February 2001

I only started to collect fashion magazines during the spring of 2005 and ever since, I have regretted not starting earlier. Now, I'm forever on the hunt for back issues. I happened to stumble across a copy of the February 2001 issue of Vogue Paris on an online auction site last week and haven't been able to put it down, fawning over the content with countless cups of tea. For me, this issue has always been iconic, so I was delighted to eventually own a copy.


The monochrome cover features a platinum blonde Kate Moss wearing a white Balenciaga dress, photographed by Mario Testino and styled by the newly-appointed Editor-in-Chief Carine Roitfeld.

The issue boasts 268 pages and features fashion stories from Mario Testino, Terry Richardson, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Nathaniel Goldberg and Thomas Schenk.


An editorial entitled "Noir Blanc" photographed by Testino featuring models Kate Moss and Delfine Bafort with styling by Roitfeld is the highlight of the issue. The 20-page story consists of Moss and Bafort wearing black and white ensembles with a hint of nudity in a few shots. The story is very tastefully done and is a credit to Roitfeld's work.


Check out "Noir Blanc" and the rest of the issue's content here.

Boutique of the Week: Stacey Todd West Hollywood

I get so excited when boutiques multiply, especially when it is one of my favorites like Stacey Todd ! I first shopped the store in Studio City and to no surprise, it was love at first sight. So, I was beyond thrilled when I found out a few months back that there was a second location opening in West Hollywood.

stacey-todd-weho-6


Located on the north stretch of Robertson, one of LA’s most infamous shopping destinations, the new Stacey Todd boutique is gorgeous. There is no other way to explain it. The 1,700-square-foot location boasts a welcoming outdoor sitting area complete with olive trees (I am obsessed!), an interior of dark hardwood flooring accented with black crown molding and a stunning antique bar, which makes it feel more like your friend’s fabulous apartment rather than a store.

Housing luxury brands like Isabel Marant, 3.1 Phillip Lim, A.L.C., Alexander Wang and Rag & Bone, the store is full of must-have basics along with day-to-evening pieces. And did I mention that the boutique is merchandised beautifully? I seriously could live in here! Stacey Todd also carries amazing accessories and housewares perfect for gifts.

Next time you are doing a little shopping on Robertson, stop by this new boutique. Not only will you find beautiful pieces, you will more than likely want to stay and hang out for awhile!

Everything’s Coming Up Asymmetrical for Spring 2014

This season, not everything walks the straight and narrow for spring. Whether it’s asymmetric hemlines tapering off or sharp, one-shouldered pieces by way of precise tailoring through tucking, folding, draping and pleating to create new dimension, fall in line with spring’s new diagonal dressing. Designers like Costume National, Salvatore Ferragamo and Sportmax went askew and played with geometry to generate these looks that prove everything doesn’t need to be balanced in order to be perfect.

Simone Rocha Fall 2014 (Runway Review)

simone rocha fall 14 landscape


The Inspiration: Victorian London looks transported to and filtered through modern-day London.


The Look: Rocha is becoming known for her neatly oversized silhouettes and beaded (and pearl-encrusted) embellishments, and both concepts were alive and well in this latest collection. The outfits bore Rocha's signature while also feeling new—black frocks were there, but there were also looks seemingly inspired by trash bags and using unexpected fabrics, including snake and plaid. If you're a fan of Rocha's look—exaggerated hips on otherwise straightforward dresses, ruched embellishments on a shirt and pant set—you will be in love. Especially standout were Rocha's sheer dresses, a grouping that closed the show. It went from plaid-inspired (tomato-red wool and sheer fabric interplaying to make the pattern) to gothy baroque, with gilded flower embroidery making a really neat larger look.


The Accessories: Rocha extended her superb beading skills above the clothing with look-finishing crowns. The standout shoes were furry loafers with chain straps.


The Beauty: Artfully messy braided updos paired with gold-leafed foreheads for a cool and unique beauty look.


The Takeaway: We want to be a part of Simone Rocha's oversized and embellished—and cool and weird—little world forever.
