Fall 2013

It’s another fashion calendar shakeup! Tommy Hilfiger is moving his show to Monday, September 9th at 11 a.m. right after Carolina Herrera instead of his usual time slot on Sunday at 8 p.m. The move will bump Belstaff out of its time slot, where they have shown for the past two seasons. As a result of Hilfiger’s time shift, Belstaff will now hold a presentation and cocktail party on September 8th at 7 p.m. at The Four Seasons instead.

Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier has tapped another renowned artist to shoot the Fall 2013 campaign, which stars models Raquel Zimmermann and Mathias Lauridsen. Acclaimed American photographer, Ralph Gibson, was behind the lens this season shooting the collection around Milan.

Alexander Wang has launched his Fall 2013 advertising campaign featuring Polish model Malgosia Bela, who closed his Fall runway show earlier this year (and the same stunner The Daily featured on our February 11th cover during NYFW).

Chanel Couture: Karl Lagerfeld has never been one to shy away from drama, and staging his Fall 2013 couture show amidst some faux ruins in Paris’s Grand Palais was no ironic coincidence. In a mix of tweed and glitter, nearly each look in the collection was accessorized with extremely wide belts and modestly-heeled, buttery suede boots.

Louis Vuitton brought out the big guns for their Fall 2013 campaign shot by Steven Meisel. Just a few huge names, such as Carolyn Murphy, Gisele Bündchen, Karen Elson and Isabeli Fontana, wig it out in the new campaign. Flawless.

Giambattista Valli: What’s a stylish ice queen with a penchant for floral prints supposed to wear for the Fall 2013 season? Giambattista Valli’s latest collection, bien sûr! In a wash of (mostly) crisp whites, this catwalk was a clean sweep that left little room for color. Keep those delicate necks warm in chilly winter climes with a flora-covered blanc turtleneck, while a sheer lace skirt keeps things cooler below. Inspiration can also be found within those kitchen cabinets, because a handful of frocks were decorated in the style of fine china, whether it was an indigo floral on a bell sleeved tee-shirt dress or a severe gown with red buds.

Tim Walker shot Cara Delevingne hanging in a tree with a bunch of owls for Mulberry’s clever Fall 2013 campaign. In other Cara news…Heat World is reporting today that Cara and Rihanna are planning to take a six-figure French getaway together in August. A source tells them: “Cara and Rihanna have booked the holiday after agreeing they don’t need men in their lives to have fun.” We’re sure those owls will be coming along for the partaaaay.

There’s a fresh new collection of gorgeous garb breezing in for fall thanks to designer Nicki Cozzolino. The Parsons grad, formerly on Richard Chai’s design team, has re-launched her eponymous label, which she started in spring 2012, under the new name Nicolino. Combining sophisticated luxury with subtle edgy details, Cozzolino’s contemporary collection has mastered the balance between fashion forward and every day approachable. The collection, which is priced between $250 and $1,400, is built around basic black with blasts of white, gold, copper and bronze. Cozzolino’s M.O.? Staying true to herself and her vision. J’adore!

Supermod Christy Turlington Burns is the new face of the Calvin Klein Underwear, taking over the role from fellow mega model Lara Stone. Turlington Burns is quite seasoned when it comes to flaunting her flawless looks for the brand; she made her first debut at the fashion house when she walked the runway for Calvin Klein Collection in 1987. The following year she was the face of Calvin Klein Collection, shot by iconic photog Irving Penn.

Since it still doesn’t feel like Spring has sprung outside, Kate Hudson kept cozy last night at the premiere of her new film, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, at The Tribeca Film Festival in New York. The actress wore a long sleeved beaded Jenny Packham dress from her Fall 2013 collection. It’s not your average red carpet garb, but she’s got the bod and confidence to pull off something a little diff.
