With products from over 450 brands (everything from Acne to Yves Saint Laurent), represented by 40 retailers, users can shop Lucky Editor-approved fashion, beauty and accessory items by price, brand, store, and category.
The cash back program Lucky launched with the site—users can accrue up to 25% of the price back for every purchase—is pretty genius and might actually attract new readers, as you have to be a subscriber to enjoy the perk.
Actual purchases are made on the retailer's website, and the search engine is powered by Mall Networks. The real news is that a magazine's editorial team has finally seen the value in a curated shopping experience, and, if there was ever a magazine that was well-suited for e-commerce, it's Lucky. Now, if only the thinking could also inspire Vogue. . .
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are having a mud-paint-and-twigs-as-accessories moment in their spring 2010 look book for The Row. Despite the distracting dirty limbs, we are loving that they did indeed introduce denim into the collection and, as reported, the jeans do look like vintage Levis. The knits are superb as are a pair of black leather trousers, a red leather skirt, a satin night shirt, and perfectly wrinkled blazers in white and nude.
Today Yoox.com is launching exclusive, one-of-a-kind items from Maison Martin Margiela as part of the online retailer's holiday gift guides. A series of Margiela jackets and tops (available for the first time online November 30) have been created using only recycled materials—think pink holiday tinsel, auburn-colored wigs, leather sandals, tiles from a disco ball and white elastic bands. It's a Project Runway-style challenge finally gone right.

Nothing says festive evening quite like a few sequins, velvet animal print, and draped detailing. To help you decide what to wear now that your events calendar is filling up, we've picked our eight favorite cocktail party looks in the gently draped category (which is pretty flattering on most). From vibrant jewel-tones (Yves Saint Lauren), to anything-but-basic black (Michael Kors) and full-on sequins (Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, and La Petite S*****), here's to a well-dressed party season.
Erdem Moralioglu has teamed up with Cutler & Gross to launch a debut sunglass collection for spring 2010. The round, Sixties-shaped frames will be available in black, black lace (very Erdem fall 2009), tortoise, and neutral stone.
Coming from the maestro of prints, we're inclined to splurge on Moralioglu's custom Kyoto print version (at left), which was inspired by a photograph of a Japanese fisherwoman and her brightly printed shorts.
Erdem for Cutler & Gross will retail for just under $500 at the current exchange rate.
The show themes, according to stylist Charlotte Stockdale, range from forest nymphs to futuristic femme fatales and fairy princesses:
“We came up with the idea of this girl who lands from outer space in Paris. She gets on a train that comes to a halt in Pinkland, where pink girls get on and off. Then they go into this fairy-tale forest and little lady bugs and butterflies land on them and vines grow up on their clothes. Then, there’s Tick-Tock Time; the wings in this section are based on clocks—there’s one modeled after a pocket watch with metallic feathers. And she ends up in this regal realm of princess-ness, where the wings have Swarovski jewels and peacock feathers.”
There will be five sections in the runway show, each with 12 looks. Although the show is happening tonight in New York, it will air December 1 on CBS.
British designers Sir Paul Smith and Julien MacDonald have very different holiday decorating styles. According to WWD, Smith goes for a natural tree with just a few fairy lights and threatens to "tie and gag" the grandchildren if they add in any clashing colors. MacDonald, on the other hand, believes in a more festive look.
“I like to go for a camp tree, which I decorate with shells covered in glitter and fish dressed as drag queens with top hats and wigs," he told reporters at Tiffany's annual holiday party in London.
