Lola Loves… Javier Piñón’s Hypnotizing Collages of Medusa

Legend has it that Medusa had a terrifying face and snakes for hair. If that wasn't enough, anyone who looked at her would turn to stone, which probably makes for a lonely existence, one where the joys of eye contact, say nothing of sharing a sidelong glance with a co-conspirator, would never be known. Perhaps artist Javier Piñón sympathized with her…

Alexander Wang SS/16 Collection Is All About His Squad

Alexander Wang has a Wang Squad. No, seriously, they even have an Instagram account (@wangsquad) of tall, beautiful and impossibly aspirational it-girls such as Lexi Boling, Anna Ewers, Binx Walton and, lately, Kaia Gerber (Cindy Crawford’s mini-me daughter).

Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2016 — Chic Music Festival Fashion

Saint Laurent Spring 2016 ready-to-wear collection is a mix of designer Hedi Slimane’s Downtown Los Angeles sensibility and Saint Laurent’s Parisian couture heritage.  The diverse collection, called “Saint Laurent Skin,” was inspired by 90s-era grunge. Courtney Love was at the show and may very well have been Slimane’s muse for this season.
