Stockholm Syndrome
Photography by Francesco Brigida Stylist: Rossana Passalacqua There may be a contest going on in Sweden that awards the designer of the perfect high-waisted jean.

Alexander Wang
Wonder boy does it better My addiction, I believe, is often motivated by a wakeful—and beautiful—human desire for the ephemeral. For these moments of satisfying transcendence I simply refer to Alexander Wang’s spring/summer 2007 collection. Infused with ’80s utilitarian cool, and spilling at the brim with sex, Wang has taken his eponymous line to new […]

Gareth Pugh: Send in the Clowns
Text by Franklin Menendez In a relatively short span of time, Gareth Pugh has built a considerable reputation based on inflatable balloon tops, light-up dresses and gold harlequin suits. Ridiculous? Certainly. But these outlandish designs radiate an irreverent energy that has been largely missing from a British scene now spearheaded by the tasteful deconstruction of […]
