Topshop Fall Marathon: Marianne

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 03:00:22 PDT

What? Did you think the Topshop Fall Marathon was over? I don't think so. The latest look book is an ode to Marianne - you know, English singer Marianne Faithfull. She was a wild child of the '70s - she even dated Mick Jagger - so you know her style was full of rock 'n' roll sass. If you have Marianne's rebellious taste, dig into faux-fur chubbies, over-the-knee boots, velvet blazers, short shorts, sequins, and jumpsuits. Life is so much more wild as Marianne!

Bella Donna: Marianne Faithfull

BellaSugar — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 08:00:25 PST

Despite being known as the folk-singing, wild ex of Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull (born Marian Evelyn Faithfull in 1946), the stylish singer is more diverse than you might have thought. First reaching fame as the soft-spoken, teenager of "As Tears Go By," the full-lipped, sad-eyed singer married artist John Dunbar in 1965, but left him after their son was born to live with Keith Richards and his wife, Anita Pallenberg. Her famous love affair with Mick began soon after, but by 1970 her life had spiraled out of control; she lost custody of her son and her drug problem worsened. In the '80s, she went into treatment and has since collaborated with musicians such as Beck, Billy Corgan, and PJ Harvey.

Faithfull continues to release music and beauty inspiration for generations to come (hi, Sienna). It's not just her perfect freckled skin, shaggy bangs and slightly smudged eyeliner that people consider iconic: it was recently revealed that her nipples inspired sculptor Clive Barker's famous chrome bust.

Blake Trades NYC and Penn for Paris and Karl

PopSugar — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 13:30:21 PST

While Claudia Schiffer and Diane Kruger are fashion show regulars, the Chanel Haute Couture presentation today in Paris was a first for Blake Lively. While she's abroad Gatecrasher reports stateside on the real-life drama brewing between Blake and her co-stars. Apparently she was spotted kissing Penn Badgley while out shopping in NYC on Saturday yet she and Leighton are avoiding each other like the plague (spoiler alert: the newspaper also outs the identity of GG). While in Paris Blake only wanted to talk about how grateful she is for the new life GG has given her. She said,

“I had a normal, all-American high school experience - nothing like the kids on Gossip Girl. The amount of money the characters have is incredible. The kids on the show drink cocktails at the Palace Hotel; I was eating hamburgers at fundraisers at Fuddruckers. [But it’s] opened so many doors for me, like coming to Paris to see a Chanel show. It doesn’t even seem like a job. We’re getting paid to live in New York and wear amazing clothes.”

At least Blake sounds thankful for all the amazing opportunities and clothes coming her way. To see more from the Chanel show, including Anna Wintour, Sofia Coppola and Natalia Vodianova, just read more

Allie Merriam — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:41:32 PST

Rachel Zoe had a busy weekend at NYFW. In addition to checking out the Diane von Furstenberg, Skaist-Taylor, and Derek Lam shows, she presented her own Rachel Zoe Collection Saturday at the Empire Hotel. Stars like Olivia Palermo and Mary Alice Stephenson turned out to see Rachel's designs, which were inspired by '60s London and icons like Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger. We caught up with Rachel just before she sent her creations, which included wrap dresses, textured suites, and red carpet-ready gowns, down the runway. In addition to her styling work, inspirations, and famous clients, Rachel Zoe spoke about her start in fashion. She said, "I'm gonna say, when I started reading Vogue, and I looked at the work of Grace Coddington. And I thought, 'I want to do that.'" Rachel celebrated at night with her loved ones. She tweeted a photo of their low-key meal, and wrote, "Celebrating post show with Deluscious cookies with friends and family! Perfect way to end a special day."

Backstage at Rachel Zoe's Fall 2012 show, models sported a cool, downtown vibe with messy and sexy hair.

Rachel herself was wearing one element of the look just days before the show. Watch now to see what made Rachel hand-select a key part of her collection's beauty look.

Rachel Zoe Fall 2012

Marisa Tom — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:05:03 PST

True to the Rachel Zoe manifesto, her Fall '12 lineup delivered a unique mix of nostalgic and contemporary-cool pieces. Inspired by the rock 'n' roll glamour of 1960s London - think Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull - the collection boasted all the trademark elements of that oh-so-cool era. Knit minidresses, sequined gowns with updated twists, tailored menswear-inspired suits in jewel-toned velvets and tweeds, and an arsenal of must-have shaggy faux fur coats set the retro tone without ever seeming outdated. To top off these sweet rocker looks, the models also showed off something entirely new to the Zoe brand: chunky art-deco jewelry and cozy-chic Winter accessories. Translation? She's given us even more reason to accent our cold-weather attire with luxe snoods, statement collar necklaces, and bold fur cossacks. While the effortless feel of Rachel Zoe's collection may be rooted in old-school shapes and silhouettes, her execution proved that she's designing for a modern woman with a playful penchant for stylish throwbacks.

Trends: Ultra-tailored menswear-inspired suits, sequins, oversized faux fur coats, flared pants, and rich textures like velvet and tweed.
Colors: Jewel tones (emerald, fuchsia, ruby red), gilded embellishments, and stark whites.
Key Piece: The artfully draped multihued print dress looked insanely cool styled up with a suede merlot messenger bag, luxe snood, and killer boots.
Accessories: Plush fur head gear, long leather gloves, messenger bags, sequined scarves, super-slouchy knee-high boots, and art-deco jewelry.
Who Would Wear It: For the retro-glam girl with an eye for clean silhouettes and fur toppers, like Mary-Kate Olsen, Kate Moss, and Sienna Miller.

Kate, Diane, and Salma Open Prada's 24-Hour Museum

Allie Merriam — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 06:52:50 PST

Kate Moss, Diane Kruger, and Salma Hayek got together for a Couture Fashion Week bash in Paris last night. The event was held to mark the opening of Prada’s 24 h Museum. The project is the brainchild of Prada and Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli, and is open only for today. Things kicked off last night with a private dinner, then Kate took a turn in the DJ booth once the dancing began.

Salma walked inside the city's Palais d'Iéna alongside her husband, François-Henri Pinault. Neither Kate nor Diane had their main men by their sides. Joshua Jackson, Diane's boyfriend, has been busy at the Sundance Film Festival, while Kate's husband Jamie Hince evidently didn't make the trip to Paris. It was the end of a busy day for Kate. She started yesterday morning at a Mango press event in London, then made her way to Paris for the party with some of her friends, including Marianne Faithfull, Anna Wintour, and Emmanuelle Alt.

2011 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Isabel Marant

Brittney Stephens — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 11:58:41 PST

Each season, we look forward to Isabel Marant's effortless Parisian-chic, and for Fall '11, she shook things up with an overwhelmingly Navajo-inspired collection. Marant offered slouchy, feather-printed tees, superskinny white jeans, and blankety wool jackets - giving us a cozy, sexy, laid-back aesthetic for Fall. The rocker vibe wasn't lost on us either - the knee-high fringe boots and Winter-white Mongolian fur jacket are reminiscent of 70's-era Marianne Faithfull, and Marant's notorious artful layering makes this collection a truly fabulous mix of classic cool.

Trends: Chunky knits, fitted trousers, embellished mini dresses, slouchy wool coats.

Colors: Black, white, indigo, and charcoal gray.

Key Looks: Thick Winter-white turtleneck sweater dress; denim patchwork button-down with skinny jeans.

Accessories: Suede fringe boots, feather earrings and necklaces, skinny leather belts.

Who Would Wear It: Effortlessly cool girls who are sophisticated, but not stuffy - like Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller.
