How to wear a vintage jacket

YSL leather jacket from the the fall 2003 collection Photo archives via: Style.com Styling tips to make a 7-year old YSL Leather Jacket look modern I have an authentic vintage Yves Saint Laurent black leather jacket that I purchased around 2002 when I worked for the company. The blazer style leather jacket with shoulder pads was very expensive at the time and cost ?2k (over $3,100). Luckily, I was able to use my employee discount. Unfortunately, I have not worn it much since. With the return of the big shoulders this season, I think that I could I get away with wearing it... what do you think? What would you recommend wearing it with? Should I wear jeans and heels

Lady Gaga and Giorgio Armani Prive at the Grammy’s, a spectacular fashion collaboration

Lady Gaga dressed exclusively in Giorgio Armani Privé at the Grammy's When haute couture meets performance art, the result is out of this world - Photo GalleryRed carpet fashion takes an other worldly turn Lady Gaga is not exactly a simple dresser. I’ve never been absolutely convinced that she owned her look rather than borrowed references from the avant-garde: Leigh Bowery’s performance art masterpieces, Grace Jones’ graphic mark on individualism in collaboration with Jean-Paul Goude, the highly stylized and imaginative ensembles of style icon Anna Piaggi, and even the outlandish outfits of the Club Kids from the late 80’s posing through the night.

Courtney Love in her first and last makeup tutorial and Lauren Luke in one of her famous smokey eyes makeup tutorials on Youtube Lauren Luke, YouTube makeup queen isn't the only one rocking out on the beauty tips scene DIY makeup videos have become a Youtube phenomenon.There's a video how-to to copy almost every celebrity look that you can imagine. But how fab is it to get the tips from the source-- as unlikely a candidate as that source may be? Courtney Love is apparently a big fan of the makeup tutorial craze and created her own take on how she applies her makeup in what is billed as her first and last makeup tutorial on Youtube. It may not

Disorderly conduct: The new crystals put bling on its edge.

Glitz got roughed up and it looks fabulous When you are looking for a modern detail to update your look, think about a clustered blast of raw, haphazard crystals. The new bling has a gritty, offhanded elegance reminiscent of rock candy or shattered glass. What's modern is not the cheap trick sparkly bling many of us associate with pavé phone cases, cloyingly cute crystal encrusted novelty doodads, or glittering from a too tight T-shirt. Crystals now have an irregularity to them that looks fresh. SHOP: Swavorski Crystallized online “It's interesting, when I think of encrusted crystal, I think of Paris Hilton's Sidekick. It's a frosty crystal that has been so cheapened as it hit the mass market in a huge

The fashion publicist who takes no prisoners also has some words about the future of the Internet 'This is a hardcore show about hardcore chicks who are running a hardcore agency' ---Kelly Cutrone Being on a press conference call with Kelly Cutrone is a lot like being tossed in the center of a cyclone of information, it's a breathless whirlwind of wisdom, no-nonsense sidebars, on-topic free association, razor sharp quips, and provocative opinion. The call with Cutrone, the straight-talking founder of the fashion public relation's firm People's Revolution, and her two business partners, Robyn Berkley and Emily Bungert was to promote their new fashion reality show 'Kell On Earth,' which premieres on Bravo February 1st. In full disclosure, I haven't

Bruce Weber Short Film for YSL Menswear

Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing, a Bruce Weber Short Film for YSL Fall/Winter 2010-11 "If you don't want to be nude, wear a suit" is what Bruce Weber originally wanted to call his short film. Sometimes I feel as if I need to explain my references. I am sure there are souls who are not familiar with Bruce Weber's brillaint work. Presently, he is the the most commercially known for his Abercrombie & Fitch photographs. Back in the day, it was for his Calvin Klein Underwear ads. If you were a male model in the 80's and had a portrait by Bruce Weber in your portfolio, you instantly skyrocketed to having a certain covetable cache that made you the

Michelle Obama wears the matching coat & dress trend- hers is by Moschino

First Lady looks rather Camelot-ish in Moschino coat & matching dress Michelle Obama is very smart indeed when it comes to her fashion choices. On the anniversary of the Obama's first year in the White House and the day after the Republican gain for Teddy Kennedy's Senate seat, Mrs. Obama chose exactly the outfit to make the right statement: A matching coat and sheath dress. If I were the First Lady's fashion advisor, I couldn't come up with a better ensemble for today's photo op. If it was Mrs. Obama's choice, she continues to have marvelous fashion instincts. We most associate the First Lady wearing a dress with matching coat on Inauguration Day—that one was the yellow brocade by Isabel
