Game of Clothes continues! We closed out the London shows with tons more tailoring and flats. Plus, JW Anderson gave us rhinestone bra harnesses for the modern nomad and Christopher Kane offered meadow dresses for the nature enthusiast. Our excitement fell flat for most of Milan, with Blumarine and Stella Jean posting virtually no points. There were a few highlights from Moschino and Gucci, with Alessandro Michelle delivering the show Gucci needed to push the brand forward. Versace was basically a greatest hits record, but not in a good way. This week in Style Snacks we discuss JVN’s emotional disclosure and Demna Gvasalia’s (maybe not so) shocking departure from Vetements.

New York closed on a happy note (quite literally), thanks to Marc Jacobs. The designer twirled his way around the audience for the happiest curtain call we’ve seen in quite some time. Meanwhile Tom Ford and The Row stayed true to what they do best, while Eckhaus Latta pushed into uncomfortable territory. Tibi put forth a solid collection. And finally, Gabriela Hearst wowed while Zimmerman fizzled. With no time to wait, it’s on to London with Molly Goddard and Marta Jakubowski. Then in this week’s Style Snacks, Claire Waight Keller welcomes a new member of the family, everyone wants Victoria Beckham’s smoky eye and never before seen textiles and sketches are on display at the latest YSL exhibition in Lyon. Come join us and see who takes the lead in Game of Clothes!

We’re only a few days into Fashion Month and so much has happened already! Tom Ford kicked off NYFW by announcing new CFDA members and hosting a fabulous dinner (uh maybe our invites were lost in the mail). We’ve seen designers like Brandon Maxwell and Catherine Holstein (Khaite) branch out from their signature styles. Others like Tomo Koizumi stuck to what they do best. Newcomers Area and Christopher John Rogers also provided excitement. And there’s still more NYFW to come… In this week’s Style Snacks, we remember Peter Lindbergh, follow up on Olivia Palermo’s relaunch and discuss LVMH winner Thebe Magugu.

Summer is coming to an end and you know what that means – Fashion Month is here! Game of Clothes is back and we’ve revamped the rules and scoring to bring some excitement to the Spring 20 shows. We’re picking an all new designer lineup and our main focus this season will be female led fashion houses. Also in this week’s Style Snacks, we pay tribute to Isabel Toledo, review MTV VMA fashion and chat about Birger Christensen (Whitney’s new fashion find). Come place your bets and get ready for GOC!

It’s finally here! Vogue’s September issue is out and certainly not afraid to make a statement. This year’s biggest issue is all about sustainability and deciding what values are important to you. For Anna, that means activism and accountability. Join us as we review the magazine’s big stories including Taylor Swift, Tom Ford and, of course, this Fall’s hottest items. We also dish on our favorite ads of the season and the trends we plan on adopting. Style Snacks covers all things beauty this week with Celine’s new fragrances and Rebecca Minkoff and Millie Bobby Brown’s makeup launches.

This week we take a look at Stephen and Kara Ross. If you don’t know them by name, maybe the Equinox and Soul Cycle cancellations sound familiar? The Billionaire couple hosted a Trump fundraiser at their Hamptons estate, prompting a swift backlash of all of their known businesses. One not as publicized boycott is that of Hudson Yards, NYC’s latest and greatest shopping experience. Join us as we discuss their ties to the fashion (Did we mention Kara is on the board of the CFDA?) and the response from industry to date. Plus, it was a busy week for Style Snacks! We chat about Arielle Charnas’ new adventure, Loeffler Randall’s and Off White’s new launches, Givenchy’s China controversy, Anna Wintour’s new title and NYFW. Like we said, it’s been a busy week.

Influencer, blogger, designer. These days aren’t they one in the same? This week we take a look at bloggers who have successfully turned their influence into full-fledged fashion lines. While this is by no means new, we also take a look at if this trend is going to continue and what’s likely to change as Instagram and Influencer Culture evolve. In Style Snacks, we dig into Farfetch’s acquisition, Iris Apfel’s new exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum and Copenhagen Fashion Week.

As the 30thanniversary of Maison Martin Margiela quickly approaches, we take time this week to uncover the fashion industry’s most famous man of mystery. Martin Margiela was known for not giving interviews, preferring for the clothes to speak for themselves. Was this tactic effective? Or was it even a tactic at all? This week we explore the designer’s past and (speculate on) his future in a special profile. Also up in this week’s style snacks, we have MTV’s first fashion award, Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fashion Freak, the rise of secondhand luxury and Meghan Markle’s latest fashion endeavor.

While Nick and Liz are living it up in New York, Mike and Whitney are left trying to find ways to entertain themselves. You know what that means, time to fall back on an old game of Hot or Not. This week, we chat all things popular this summer and whether they’re really worth the hype or if we’re ready to move on from them. Giant pool floaties, short shorts (for the guys obviously), headbands, Big Little Lies and – dare we say - Robert Mueller, nothing escapes our rating system this week. Plus, we dig into the shortened NYC Fashion week schedule and Marc Jacobs’ driving lessons in this week’s Style Snacks. Come join!

Liz and Whitney are back together again - this time in Oklahoma! Each week you hear Liz and I gush over our favorite designers (Phoebe Philo, Claire Waight Keller, Miuccia Prada, to name a few). Looking out our favs list, you would assume that women dominate top creative roles these days. Sadly, you’d be wrong. Only about a third of these coveted positions are held by women. This week we sit down to discuss scarcity of female Creative Directors and the historical and cultural influences that might have contributed to our current state. Also up in Style Snacks, we dive into Fall 2019 ad campaigns (spoiler alert: #arivenchy fans we are not), the Gossip Girl reboot and Stella McCartney partnering with LVMH.
