This darling 2-year-old strutted the Chanel catwalk with his daddy (matching outfits, natch), ex-Lagerfeld muse Brad Kroenig this week in the Paris Spring/Summer 2011 show.


Afterward, he enjoyed some well-deserved playtime with his dinosaurs.

Say it with us - Awwwww.

Milan went Retro for Spring 2011.  We saw 1920s fringes, 60s silhouettes, and wild colours of the 70s and 80s.   Minimalism - not so much.

An unusual mix of models walked Balenciaga's Spring 2011 runway on Thursday in Paris.  There were random cool-looking people that Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière found off the streets, the stunning Gisele Bundchen and a very pregnant Miranda Kerr.

Hold the phone - a pregnant model on the runway!?  What's even more unusual is that Kerr is the second pregnant...

London Fashion Week wrapped its Spring/Summer 2011 shows last week, and we're loving the bold trends from the runways:

Unique, Antonio Berardi, Kinder Aggugini

Masculine clothing made feminine was freer than in New York, with blousy pantlegs and full skirts.  If there were any similarities to NY Fashion Week, that's where it ended.  And how 'bout the hats?

Burberry Prorsum,...

We think a change gonn' come to the fashion industry thanks to some experimentation by designers like Burberry.



Burberry Prorsum live-streamed their Womenswear Spring/Summer 2011 runway show on Monday.  Customers can now purchase outerwear, bags and Burberry Beauty products from the show online at Burberry.com right now.  You have until Tuesday September 28 to place an order, which...

Are you peeved?  Do you think Valentino is the right fit for GAP?

With Toronto fashion week around the corner, we're itching to see what our fave Canadian designers have come up with for next Spring! 

We got a sneak peek of the feminine and classy designs from the Basch by Brandon Spring 2011 collection.



Two great things about this line:

Rumours are swirling around the announcement set to air on September 9, 2010 of the next guest designer collection, and some people think it's Bottega Veneta.  H & M's Wiki page claims Shiatzy Chen will be the next designer to be featured, but no one seems to be sure...
