First Dibs! Get This Rawaan Alkhatib Scarf From Of A Kind Before Anybody Else, Make Your Friends Jealous

We’re huge fans of the shopping site Of A Kind, which offers limited editions of the most amazing and cutting edge clothing, jewelry and homewares ever. So imagine how incredibly over the moon we were when Of A Kind chose us to get first dibs on this new Rawaan Alkhatib scarf? This spots-and-stripes scarf incorporates a quirky hand-drawn cheetah design, which gives the wearer an extra bit of fierceness. “I started making scarves because I really like the idea of taking a flat surface that becomes more complex as your drape it. When you’re wearing a scarf, you never see the whole design—you have to conceive a fractured pattern, which is a lot like writing a poem,” explains the designer, who is definitely a girl after our own heart. So get this scarf — made in a limited edition of 40 — and have those cheetahs on your side. [$112, Of A Kind]

“Charlie Chaplin Camel Toe”: hipster band name or brutally honest description of these leggings? Probably both, but for right now let’s focus on these leggings, which I’m pretty sure I’ve seen before in a fever dream I had in 10th grade. So upsetting. [$30, ROMWE]

Meet The Fashionable Couture Dogs Of New York

Want to feel slightly depressed? There are people who spend more on their dog’s annual wardrobes than most people do on their own in 10 years. Meet the couture dogs of New York, the subject of a new book by Paul Nathan. This expansive volume features people with an excess of money, time and love to give to their furry friends. Some of the outfits are incredibly over the top. Most of the models were on point, though there was one, uh, mishap. “Most of the dogs were well behaved but Tasha and Cuba, who are married and who are photographed together in some of the pictures, had sexual relations as soon as we finished the shoot, which I thought was quite brazen,” said Nathan in an interview with Fashionista. Wait, married dogs? What? [Fashionista] Keep reading »

Regular Dresses Too Regular? Try Some Hairy Ones Instead

Fingernails Instead Of Hair
This woman has a rare disease which makes her grow fingernails everywhere. Watch »

When we talk about the hair at fashion shows, we generally mean the hair on the models, not the hair on the clothes. Charlie Le Mindu certainly didn’t have convention in mind when he presented Metal Queen, his “haute coiffeur” collection, on the runway in Paris during Couture Week. “I wanted to do a collection that was inspired by the women who scare me and have a lot of charisma. So that’s why the models look like kind of sexy monsters — I want them to scare men,” said Le Mindu of his line, which features, yes, human hair (culled from extensions, no scalping necessary) protruding from the designs in every which way. Sure, why not? I mean, don’t you ever wake up in the morning and say to yourself, What I really need in my wardrobe is more human hair? [WWD]

  • As the closer to the Chanel couture show, Karl Lagerfeld sent two wedding dress-clad female models down the runway hand in hand to show his support of marriage equality. The Associated Press was quick to coin the demonstration “lesbian couture,” and we want to know what the hell that means. [Fashionista]
  • As if we needed more reasons to drool over Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming adaptation of “The Great Gatsby” — Miuccia Prada, of Prada and Miu Miu, designed 40 dresses for the film. Check out 4 of the sketches, all adapted from past Prada or Miu Miu collections. Ugh, such a tease! When is this thing out already? [Telegraph] Keep reading »

Mais Oui!

Just last week, I was asking Rachel what Choupette has been up to lately. It’s been months since we’ve seen pictures of Karl Lagerfeld’s pampered kitten — last time was when she modeled in a 10-page editorial for V magazine with Laetitia Casta. But today the Internet Celebrity Cat Gods have sent us a macaron from heaven with a new short film for Chanel by Lagerfeld himself. Choupette herself doesn’t deign to make an appearance; I’ll let you watch and see for yourself how she appears.  [Fashionista]

This just in: runway beauty be cray, especially when it comes to couture week. Raf Simons’s lovely cream-colored gowns and floral frocks at Christian Dior were offset by some serious bedazzling of the mouth. I’d usually gamble that this is the kind of look that won’t see life off the runway come spring, but then again, we are living in the age of Ke$ha. [Image via Style.com]
