Vivienne Westwood does graduation gowns

Posted Jul 5th 2008 2:10PM by Kristen Seymour
Filed under: Designers

What did your college or high school graduation gown look like? Was it black and plain, or a color? Or did you skip the ceremony to go have a beer? Okay, maybe that was just us, but those gowns are seriously unflattering, and we had no intention of wearing it around for a day and being photographed looking like we were wearing a garbage bag. No thank you.

Fortunately, for graduates of King's College in London, they will have something a little different -- graduation capes and hoods designed by Vivienne Westwood!

Wimbledon is fashion central, at least for tennis

Maria promised to change up her Wimbledon outfit, and and she came through. Her "menswear-inspired" Nike outfit is a decidedly sexy, sheer top with a tudexo "dickie" embellishing the front. With the matching white jacket and white shorts, she could as easily be on her way to lunch as to a championship match.

Players frequently blend in at Wimbledon, where everyone is required to wear white from head to toe. A few, like Sharapova, manage to stand out despite this restriction.

Five-time champion Roger Federer, also sponsored by Nike, does it with a surprise look each year. Others, like Rafa Nadal and his manpris, have their own unique and consistent look that they bring to every match. Not to mention regular fashion notables Serena and Venus Williams, who are almost as well known for their fashion off the court as they are for winning on the court.

Check out the fashion high points of Wimbledon Week One in the gallery.

From Red Carpet to Your Closet: Keira Knightley at the London 'Edge of Love' premiere

Keira Knightley has, on occasion, made some questionable red carpet fashion statements. It goes without saying that her incredibly thin build allows her to wear many styles with ease, but every once in a while she seems to get wrapped up in the whole, "I'm so tiny, I can wear anything" mindset and ends up wearing things that look like they've been thrown away, shredded, thrown away again, and then made into a dress.

The London premiere of Edge of Love was not one of those instances. She looked absolutely amazing in a jewel-toned purple Erdem dress, and we find no reason you can't get a look like this for yourself. Here's how:

Creepy cool Lady Grey Jewelry

What do you get when you mix a background in dental work with art school metals training? Well, when you multiply that interesting mix by two, the result is the just-this-side of macabre Lady Grey Jewelry.

Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader are the Mass Art-trained designers behind this bone/wood/icon obsessed line of necklaces, bracelets, rings and wearable objects. They work out of a studio in Brooklyn and as their totally cool site puts it, are "inspired by objects of decay -- such as teeth, branches and bones."

For fashion designers, inspiration for their clothes always comes from random sources: art, food, clothes, sex (hey!). Two inspirations however, remain constant favorites – the past and the future.

Both were in full effect during London's Graduate Fashion Week, where students showed off their work. From huge hooped skirts and elaborate ruffles from the 19th century to psychedelic prints from the 70s, these students mined the past for some ultra creative looks.

Boy oh boy was Monday all about the boys. As you know, I am your girl on the ground at London's Graduate Fashion Week, which is going on right now and gives British design students a chance to show off their skills. As usual, the bulk of collections that floated down the runway were for women. But somehow between all the floating chiffon dresses, ultra neon tights and cropped leather jackets, the menswear collections emerged triumphant.

When it comes to London's East End, parties are almost like a family reunion. Especially if your family is the type in which men like superstar designer Henry Holland (above) sport bleached blond hair and cut off shorts . But I digress....Earlier this week Henry (well really his press agent) invited me to get "Extra Close" at a party in Archie's Archway in trendy East London.

See, I sorta wish that was just a witty play on words. But fringes - and lots of them - were the detail of the day at the opening of Graduate Fashion Week. Leather fringes, straw fringes, cotton fringes, multi-colored fringes and beyond paraded down the runway on the first day of the event, which started on Sunday and ends to today. I am your girl in London for the week, as I check out the good, the bad and the fugly at what has become the largest event to promote student fashion designers across Europe.

It was a hit parade of the hautest spring trends the other night at London's Punk night club. Tightly belted waists? Check! Over-sized vintage clutch? Check! Pretty floral prints? Triple check! There was all this and more as fashion students from London's various colleges came out to celebrate.

The impromptu runway show was just a preview of why the students were partying in the first place: Graduate Fashion Week. Never heard of it? Well, it's been a must-see for the international fashion industry since 1991, has launched the careers of fashion rock stars like Stella McCartney and hosted concerts by top-notch performers like Madonna and Justin Timberlake.

Do you know what guerrilla gardening is? Neither did we! But it's popular enough to attract droves of fashionable Londoners who turned out last week to support Grun In London, an art exhibit inspired by concrete jungles.

Luella Bartley, Salvatore Ferragamo and Fendi (just to name a few), have all been robbed of several thousand dollars worth of their expensive handbags, tops, and accessories.

Paris Hilton becomes an SJP wannabe, steals Posh's thunder

Filed under: Fragrance, Celebrity Style

Paris Hilton certainly made an impact in London when she stopped by Selfridges to promote her new fragrance, Can Can. She not only channeled Sarah Jessica Parker by wearing an unusual hat (which, though we're in the minority, we kind of love -- just maybe not on Paris), she also stole the spotlight from Victoria Beckham who had decided to actually take the trouble to promote her denim line down the street at Harrods.
