The results are in and America’s voted for the Sexiest Shoe of 2011… but I beg to differ. Yes, it’s leather. Yes, I know there’s lace embroidery involved. Yeahhhh it’s Valentino. But…. the sexiest shoe of 2011 just can’t be a standard mid heel leather peep toe. We must have more personality than that! Surprisingly, my number one choice for...

Yesterday I had the honor of collaborating with a few friends and fellow AAU students on a photo shoot that felt a little bit like the Italian housewives of the Upper-West Side circa the late 1970s. Versace gowns, Manolo Blahniks with chinchilla pom-poms, vintage furs, Louboutins, jewels and a...

Carine Roitfeld
Former editor-in-chief at French Vogue and iconic fashion stylist Carine Roitfeld is known for her provocative and at times uncanny styling aesthetic with editorials that serve as a sort of mockery to our ideas of beauty with concepts ranging from plastic surgery to gultony.
