Peter Pilotto vs. Alexander Wang, Mountainscape Edition

6 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |Fashionista Verified

Mountains are having an improbable fashion moment. For his "survivalist" fall collection, Alexander Wang showed jagged peaks in neon green and purple, splashed across a very cool-looking anorak. Then came the Peter Pilotto show on Monday -- inspired by extreme sports -- which featured the summit motif, in purples and blues, on dresses and a very cozy-looking puffer coat.

Nasty Gal to Open Brick-and-Mortar Stores

6 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |Fashionista Verified

Girls who love a good platform and badass leather jacket, get psyched. On Thursday Sophia Amoruso, CEO of online retailer Nasty Gal, tweeted that a brick-and-mortar store is on the way: The tweet was a very low-key way of announcing such a huge part of the company's growth strategy -- especially since the online purveyor of all things cool for 20-somethings is considered to be one of the most exciting success stories in retail right now.

Tom Ford’s Definitive Guide on How to Make It in Fashion

By Stephanie Trong |Fashionista Verified

At the annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund awards dinner it’s become a tradition of sorts to trot out an industry veteran to deliver a keynote speech that’s equal parts inspirational testimony and cautionary tale to the up-and-coming nominees.

How Hilary Swank Gets the Job Done

8 years ago|

By Hilary Swank, Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

For one of her New Year’s resolutions, Hilary Swank has taken up tap dancing. It’s something she has wanted to do ever since she became obsessed with 42nd Street as a teen. Now, at age 44, she’s eight lessons in. And while she’s not aiming to be musical-lead good, she thinks that, with enough practice and perseverance, anyone can get there. “I believe that applying yourself in something you really want to achieve is of the utmost importance,” she says. “As far as we know, we have only one life.

These Are the Running Sneakers You're About to See on Cool Girls Everywhere

8 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to write about HOKAs for a while. I first found out about the sneakers three years ago after being diagnosed with the beyond-sexy-sounding Morton’s neuroma (a painful tissue-nerve thing) and researching shoes that wouldn't aggravate it. The brand has been my go-to for running shoes ever since—specially its Clifton style—but they are, let’s just say, a little much on the eyes for me.

Go ahead and ask anyone in the Charlotte, North Carolina area: Capitol, founded by the very chic Laura Vinroot Poole 20 years ago, is the place to shop. The airy, well-appointed 6,000-foot space is stocked to the hilt with the latest from high-end designers such as The Row, Saint Laurent, and Balenciaga, and also features exciting new wares from need-to-know emerging talent, such as minimalist sandal master Emme Parsons.

Here's What to Buy from the Hunter for Target Collaboration

8 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

If you’re reading this, that means the long-awaited Hunter for Target collaboration is now live to shop on the retailer’s website. But before you click on over there to get your hands on all the brightly hued wellies, totes, and hammocks your cart can handle, you might want to read this first. Why? Because I was one of the lucky editors invited by the company to test out the goods in advance in Big Sur, California.

How Rowan Blanchard’s Relationship With Beauty Has Changed

8 years ago|

By Theresa Marx, Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

It’s 11 a.m. on a gloomy February day in a hotel suite high above the streets of downtown Manhattan, the muffled blare of car horns barely registering through a thick floor-to-ceiling window. Barefoot and sitting in an oversize armchair is 16-year-old Rowan Blanchard, looking like a doll or maybe even a character out of a Sofia Coppola movie in a blue velour slip with ribbon straps. Blanchard’s mom, a nice yoga teacher named Elizabeth, has graciously retired to the next room.

10 Pairs of Under-$50 Shoes You Won't Mind Trashing at Coachella

By Alison Syrett Cleary Verified, Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

What’s the best way to navigate Coachella: in open or closed shoes? This was the big debate at our fashion team’s latest pitch meeting, and a heated one at that. “Covering your feet in music festival weather will make them sweaty and smelly,” I said with conviction.

Can a Power Outfit Erase Your Insecurities?

8 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong, Victor Virgile |InStyle Verified

Sometimes I think I ask too much of my clothes. I’m staring at the bulk of them now, jammed onto a rolling rack about 5 feet from the foot of my bed. It’s a hilariously uneventful spectrum that goes from black (T-shirts) to white (T-shirts) to a mix of black and white (skirts) to a mix of black, white, and a few jewel tones (silk button-downs).

This Treatment Fixed My Halo of Frizzy Hair

8 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

By Stephanie Trong Updated: Feb 23, 2018 @ 8:53 am It wasn’t unlike Sisyphus, really. About a year-and-a-half ago (though it feels like it was overnight) my hair texture completely changed. It went from being straight, thick and extremely smooth—shiny even—to a halo of wiry frizz that springs out in every direction. This unruly top layer, which I’ve seen referred to online as the “canopy,” was all different lengths—an inch, four inches, shoulder-length.

Marla Aaron Installs Jewelry Vending Machine in Brooklyn Museum

9 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

Question: What does the vending machine of your dreams dispense? Kittens? Chocolate? Autographed pictures of Pat Kiernan from NY 1? In the ultimate high-low move, New York–based jeweler Marla Aaron—whose carabiner-shaped lock pendants are the chicest thing in semi-permanent bijoux since the Cartier Love bracelet (I never, ever take mine off)—has bested all of these options by installing a vending machine in the Brooklyn museum that doles out her gorgeous creations.

Five InStyle Editors Just Bought this Shirt from New Line Secular @InStyle

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

October 16, 2017 @ 2:00 PM Every once in a while an item of clothing comes along that's so good, it cuts across personal style genres. Such is the case with this shirt, the Harley from new line Secular, which had no less than five people committing to order it when I wore it for the first time—a true testament to its universal appeal.

These Chic Work Dresses Will Make Your Mornings So Much Easier

9 years ago|

By Project Gravitas, Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

A good work outfit should be easy to put together, wear well throughout the day, and make you look damn good in a meeting. That sounds simple enough to achieve but it becomes infinitely more elusive at, say, 8:37 a.m. when you’ve hit snooze four times, run out of coffee filters, dealt with a particularly tenacious case of frizz, and still need to pack a lunch and a gym bag.

Mother and Minnetonka Collaborate on Your New Favorite Fall Shoes  @InStyle

9 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

September 19, 2017 @ 9:00 AM The list of foxy celebrities who wear Mother jeans is ridiculous: Kate Hudson, Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington, Emma Roberts, the sisters Hadid ... And while the fit is certainly worth going on and on about, perhaps even more noteworthy is the denim brand’s penchant for a well-placed whimsical detail—a cool racing stripe down the leg here, a frayed, staggered hem there.

Supermodel Amber Valletta on Working with Millennials and Saving the Planet  @InStyle

9 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

Seeing one of the OG ’90s supermodels pop up on the runway these days is the fashion equivalent of the surprise concert cameo, kind of like when Eminem rose out of the floor to take the stage with Drake in Detroit last year. It’s a moment for the young ’uns to see how it’s done.

"Why Do I Shop So Much?" One InStyle Editor Attempts to Curb Her Obsession @InStyle

9 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

"You’re going to become un-obsessed?” This from our creative director when she heard I was writing about letting go of my tendency to get swept up in fashion mania. A notion so unbelievable, she couldn’t even muster a real laugh, just a deadpan, “Haaa.” To be fair, I have a reputation.

Target Debuts a New In-House Women's Fashion Line and It's Really Cute  @InStyle

9 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

August 16, 2017 @ 6:30 PM Part of what makes a Target run so pleasurable is the chance to pop by the clothing department for an unexpected fashion score. Usually it's something from the megabrand's famous collaborations with high-end designers—the exaggerated square-frame Lanvin sunglasses and sharply cut Altuzarra blazers still hold a place in our weekly wardrobe rotation—or it could be a piece from its recent partnership with style website Who What Wear.

Fashion Week Style Diaries: Purple’s Olivier Zahm, Day One

9 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |The Cut Verified

Rarely will you catch French editor and founder of Purple Fashion (purple.fr) Olivier Zahm out of uniform. Granted, it’s a highly fashionable uniform — leather jacket, tight pants, sunburst aviators — and one that speaks to his particular brand of louche, seventies-tinged cool. We asked the writer, photographer, artist, and man about town to document his outfits for New York Fashion Week, which should be pretty interesting … will he pull a fast one and totally mix it up? Watch this space.

Supermodel Carolyn Murphy Is Launching an All-American Lifestyle Brand This Fall

9 years ago|

By Matthew Sprout, Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

In the early ’90s, when Carolyn Murphy started modeling, there were two camps: the glamazons (Cindy, Christy, Linda, Naomi), with their minuscule hemlines, and the broody waifs (Kate, Amber, Shalom), all gangly limbs, slip dresses, and Adidas Gazelles. Blond, blue-eyed, and most at home in Hanes T-shirts, vintage Levi’s, and cowboy boots, she didn't square neatly with either.

This Chic Work and Gym Tote Has Lasted 15 Years and Counting @InStyle

9 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

It's been over 15 years since I first bought my Longchamp Le Pliage tote, and I love it as much as the day I took it home. I've used it for work, the gym, the plane, and even the beach, and only just now is it starting to really show serious signs of wear (a few small holes in one of the bottom corners), which is truly impressive for a bag that costs $145. First, let's address the size. I have the large, which measures 12 1/4-in. W x 11 3/4-in. H x 7 1/2-in. D.

To be "Pretty Womaned" is the bane of any shopper's existence.

Why Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Is the Chicest Lady at the Airport @InStyle

By Stephanie Trong |InStyle Verified

When Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was a fashion-obsessed 15-year-old living in her rural hometown of Devon, England, aka “the middle of nowhere,” she cold-called her way around London looking for someone, anyone, in the industry to give her an internship as part of a work-study program at school. A small modeling agency in Soho said yes, and she promptly spent a week at its offices emptying ashtrays and making photocopies.

One day it will happen, I guess.” But not anytime soon. Ly’s long, cotton candy–pink manga-princess locks are her calling card.

There are no fusty pumps or dated black “slacks” to sort through, only a curated selection of current-season merchandise from the likes of Céline and Chanel, a parade of Isabel Marant’s greatest hits, and tons of cherry-picked items from high-street heroes such as Zara.

The Only 5 Pairs of Shoes You Ever Need to Own

12 years ago|

By Stephanie Trong |Fashionista Verified

There are two types of shoes. The kind that you turn to again and again, year after year, occasion after occasion (ok, you get it), and the kind that are utterly thrilling in their beauty, embellishment or flat-out trendiness that sometimes it just makes you happy to stare at them in your closet. But while the latter category certainly elicits more excitement, it's the former that's really going to get you through life.

Near the corner of North 5th Street and Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, there lies a special place that is equal parts heaven and hell, especially on Saturday afternoons. Hell, because it’s so packed you can barely move without bumping into someone, claustrophobia issues be damned. Heaven, because it’s filled top-to-toe with the prettiest, daintiest — but not always girly — pieces of jewelry that pull on those “need it now” heartstrings.

The Rodarte vs. Preen ‘Star Wars’ Gown Edition

Rodarte had one of the most talked-about collections of fall 2014 New York Fashion Week, thanks to its finale of “Star Wars”-inspired gowns, featuring the likes of Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, R2-D2, the twin suns of Tatooine and the Death Star. Even though it all worked, the choice did seem somewhat random, even for designers — and self-professed sci-fi geeks — Laura and Kate Mulleavy.
