Listen To Riff Raff Once And This Might Happen To Your Hair

by 25 mins ago

There are few artists who have graced this earth with such infectious personal styles that, with just one listen, you’re hooked—on the music, on the look, on the lifestyle. I feel that way about Riff Raff a.k.a. Jody Highroller a.k.a. The Neon Icon a.k.a. Blueberry Jones. I just can’t resist those technicolor beaded braids, the squiggly chin strap, or that Bart Simpson chest tatt. And until my attention was directed to this #ListenedToRiffRaffOnce meme on Twitter (which BTW has been raging since June of this year), I thought I was alone on this one. Well, I’m not.

Here’s a slew of internet bbs who have *also* been afflicted by Riff Raffitis.

This Is How Lady Gaga Did All Those Crazy Quick Changes On Her ArtRave Tour

by 36 mins ago

Have you ever wanted to see how Lady Gaga gets in and out of all of those amazeballs outfits during her ArtRave tour? Well, you’re in luck. Mother Monster gifted us, her little monsters, with video No. 46 from her Gagavision video series, and it does exactly that. Entitled “The Lady Is A Gaga,” and set to the tune of “Cheek To Cheek,” (from Gaga’s recently released jazz album of the same name), the clip features the “Guy” singer in a series of quick changes behind and below stage. Some highlights of the video include seeing her bop around on stage in a polka-dotted Yayoi Kusama-channeling tentacle costume, some seriously awkward and up-close makeup touchups, and a sweet vintage Motley Crue tee. Props to that, Gags.

Look Out iPhone 6 Users, #Hairgate Is The New #Bendgate

by 21 mins ago

Poor iPhone 6, you can’t seem to catch a break. First there was #bendgate, and now there’s #hairgate? A 9to5Mac Community post uncovered that early adopters of the smartphone were having their hair yanked out of their heads due to a gap between the phone’s aluminum body and glass display.

This of course has lent itself to shaving jokes.

A remark on hairdressing in general.

Along with commentary on beards. Who knew that people were so divisive on the subject? Spoiler alert: If you happen to have facial hair and an iPhone, chances are that someone’s going to critique your beard and call you a hipster. Sorry.

One particular user posits that maybe the initial testers might’ve been bald men.

But it appears that #hairgate has affected all stripes of Apple users with varying degrees of hair yankage, leaving no one safe. Our only response? Ouch! ;)

The 19 Best Fashion Quotes From ‘The Devil Wears Prada’

by 11 mins ago

Ever heard of The Devil Wears Prada? You know, the little vehicle that starred Anne Hathaway as a fresh faced assistant at Runway (a thinly veiled alternate-universe version of Vogue) and Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly (as its even more thinly veiled version of Anna Wintour).

Unsurprisingly, the movie has some serious fashion bonafides, including a million dollar wardrobe packed to the gills with clothing from the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Hugo Boss, Fendi, Chanel, and of course, Prada. There are appearances by models Gisele Bündchen and Bridget Hall, designer Valentino Garavani, the only designer to be featured within the movie. It also happens to be styled by the legendary Patricia Field.

MTV is playing The Devil Wears Prada twice on Sunday, first at 1 p.m. EST, and once again at 8 p.m. EST.

To get you ready, we rounded up our favorite quotes from the film.

1. “Can you please spell ‘Gabbana’?”

GabbanaTumblr

2. “I’m sorry, do you have some prior commitment?”

Skirt ConventionTumblr


“Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?”

3. “You sold your soul to the devil when you put on your first pair of Jimmy Choos. I saw it.”

4. “Don’t make me feed you to one of the models.”

5. “Oh, nevermind. I’m sure you have plenty more polyblend where that came from.”

Celebrate Gwen Stefani’s Birthday With 45 Pics Of Her In Red Lipstick

by 25 mins ago

A big happy birthday from us to Gwen Stefani! The frontwoman of No Doubt turns 45 today. Can you believe it? I can’t believe. What water is she drinking? Can I have some?

In order to appropriately celebrate her birthday, we figured we’d honor a style staple that’s been close to Gwen’s heart for years, and is, no doubt (heh), her signature look. We’re talking about red lipstick, of course. Below are 45 photos of Gwen in red lipstick—one for every year she’s been blessing this planet with her existence. While shades and application may vary slightly over the years, there’s always one thing that’s consistent: Homegirl looks good in red.

1. Look at this fresh-faced bb.

Gwen StefaniGetty


The year was 1996, and baby Gwen was just starting to experiment with bindis. Also look at that perfect lipstick application.

2. Like to dress in all black? Why not steal a page out of Gwen’s playbook and add a pop of color?

Gwen StefaniGetty


Like she did at the 47th Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2005.

3. We’ve always loved Gwen in a proper quiff.

Gwen StefaniGetty


And red lip, of course.

4. Gwen’s all-white outfit at the 2001 Billboard Music Awards is the perfect canvas.

Gwen StefaniGetty


To showcase her crimson lips.

5. That lipstick is fresh to death.

Gwen StefaniGetty


Also, make your peace with Gwen’s strawberry blonde hair at the 8th Annual Billboard Music Awards in ’97. It’ll be ...

Watch Remy Ma Go Shopping With Shayne Oliver At Opening Ceremony

by 8 mins ago

What’s Remy Ma been doing since being released from prison after turning herself in for involvement with a shooting back in 2008? Well for one, she’s been putting out music. Oh, and she’s been shopping with Hood By Air’s founder and creative director, Shayne Oliver.

The two met up for Opening Ceremony’s series “Shop Talk,” where they perused the racks of the boutique to discuss the Bronx native’s own personal style, which Ma calls “couture hip hop.” Couture hip hop–according to Remy–is the melding of being a fashionable girl and being sexy while still maintaining an edge. Like us, the “Conceited” rapper likes to mix wearing feminine staples with masculine pieces, like a well-worn pair of Timbs or Nike Air Maxes with a prairie dress.

Remy brings up a number of valid points while browsing through some of OC’s high-end pieces: Sneakers don’t need to be regulated to days off; pony hair fitted caps can be worn by both men and women; and oversized “men’s shirts” don’t necessarily have to be catalogued in the men’s section. Remy indicates that she could easily turn a man’s shirt into dress, and that ideally, clothing would be unisex with an emphasis on being comfortable. Our new shopping mantra is officially “Why are these men’s?” because we are feeling that so hard.

Michelle Obama Wants To Help Make Your Design Dreams Come True

by 16 mins ago

On Tuesday (Sept. 30), Michelle Obama opened up her home—you know, the White House—for a luncheon celebrating excellence in American design. The event served as a venue for the Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards—now in its 14th year—which provides a platform to honor our country’s most creative and prescient design minds with categories running the gamut from Fashion Design to Landscape Architecture. Winners are judged on excellence, innovation, and enhancement of the quality of life.

Giving a little extra shine to award recipient Narcisco Rodriguez, Michelle made a point to wear a sleeveless, aubergine sheath dress created by the designer. Speaking about the honoree, FLOTUS revealed that Rodriguez’s parents tried to convince him to follow a career in law or medicine but followed it up perfectly, adding, “I’m sure that I speak for all women when I say that I’m grateful that Narciso chose another path.”

The First Lady’s involvement comes from a deep-seated desire to inspire and educate our nation’s young people with big design dreams. On top of this week’s luncheon, Michelle will host the first Fashion Education Workshop at the White House on October 8—a five-hour event that will bring together a wide breadth of attendees including high school and college students, fashion editors, magazine editors and “fashion technologists.” The workshop lands smack dab in the middle of National Design Week (October 4-12), which will culminate with the National Design Awards Gala benefit and awards ceremony held at ...

You Can Finally See The Apple Watch IRL At Colette In Paris

by 35 mins ago

In a perfect meeting of both fashion and technology, French retailer Colette is giving the general public the first look at the Apple Watch during a special one-day event.

While the watch is on display street-side for the public, some fashion industry insiders—including Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour—got a hands-on sneak peek this morning. Karl actually dropped by Colette with little time to spare before his Chanel show—but that’s not surprising, TBH, because dude looooves Apple. I mean, he was so excited for the iPhone 6 that he told Women’s Wear Daily, “I can’t wait for the iPhone 6. It’s my only ambition in life to have it quickly.”

Both Karl and Anna were given watch demos from Apple’s senior vice president of design Jony Ive and Marc Newson, designer and brand new Apple employee. Once Anna gets her hands on a watch, she may actually need a few more demos, considering she still uses a flip-phone. Seriously.

A few lucky insiders even got to try watches on, and it looks like—we’re assuming Gentlewoman‘s Penny Martin has on the 42mm height face here—these are serious size business. The good news is: We still have time to build up our wrist strength for the larger model—because unlike Anna and Karl, we’ll have to wait until 2015 to get our hands on one.
