Gaiters, Flared Legwarmers, Oh My!

Left: Alexander Wang legwarmers. Right: Vionnet gaiters.
View Gallery

Chez French design house Vionnet, they're called gaiters. But cool-kid on the block Alexander Wang throws us back to the '80s by calling them flared legwarmers. Who cares what they're called---what are they? Both versions feature black wool styles that look like they could just be an extension of shorts. (Wait, isn't that called pants?) The Wang pair is a louche-slouchy look that oozes the comfortable sex-appeal that has made him such a hit with leggy models. Vionnet sticks more to its classic roots, featuring a slim tapered style that reaches thigh high and finishes in a practical stirrup bottom that can be tucked over heels. Functional? For those who are slaves to their stilettos, these provide a chic alternative to frozen feet and legs. But will this random expenditure actually sell in colder months?

Mr.West’s Swift Recovery

Kanye West in Calvin Klein Collection
Splash News View Gallery

Kanye West might have embarked on one of most ingenious album release campaigns ever during the last few months. He started a unanimously acclaimed Twitter account, toured the Facebook offices, tapped artist Marco Brambilla to direct his epic Art Basel-worthy Power clip, and continued to impress us with his magic wardrobe. Our favorite recent outfit has to be this neon red fluro Calvin Klein Men’s collection suit (dreamt up by Italo Zucchelli last fall) that West donned in Singapore over the weekend. And get this: West still has no publicist or stylist---or even a cell phone!

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen
Hedi Slimane for Harper's Bazaar View Gallery

Mary-Kate Olsen may be on the September cover of Marie Claire, but Harper's Bazaar is getting in on the Olsen action for its big issue, as well. Hedi Slimane shot both girls for a story about their baby: The Row. "We're either at home or here at the studio," Mary-Kate says in the story. "I think [the paparazzi] got bored of us." Clearly, the fashion crowds haven't...

Zegna Centennial Watch

Zegna Centennial Watch
View Gallery

Men have far fewer options than women in terms of fashion status symbols (unfortunately an orange Kelly bag or the red soles of Christian Louboutin stilettos are not a choice for most). So imagine our excitement at The Daily for style-conscious men when we heard about a decadent piece from Italian tailors and style connoisseurs, Ermenegildo Zegna, who celebrate their 100th anniversary this year. To fete this occasion, the company launched a limited edition collection, the highlight being the Centennial Watch made in collaboration with Swiss watch-maker Girard-Perregaux. A delicate rose gold face is fastened to the wrist by a jet-black alligator strap, perfectly combining luxury and beauty with manly-practicality. In terms of status symbol likeliness? Rest assured your place will be safe, since only 100 pieces were made. How very a propos.

Rachel Zoe and Tiffani Amber Thiessen
View Gallery

InStyle just got its hands on Rachel Zoe's high school yearbook photo---her inspirational quote: "I'm ready for the world...but is it ready for me?"---and it's every bit as '80s-tastic as you would expect from the stylist (Zoe graduated in 1989). Looking at it, though, we can't help but think of another '80s icon: the inimitable Kelly Kapowski, er, Tiffany Amber Thiessen. Those apple cheeks! That smile! That hair! Now if only we could get Brad to play Zack Morris...

Franco, At It Again

Soap at MoCA

As if we needed another reason to love James Franco (we didn't). The actor has somehow managed to carve out his own niche as equal parts heartthrob and brainiac (See: playing a stoner in Pineapple Express and Allen Ginsberg in Howl; this "trailer" for Super Sad True Love Story, by his professor at Columbia, Gary Shteyngart; that cameo on General Hospital?). His latest "project" is just as hilarious: Soap at MoCA, a magazine conceived by Franco for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, is as much dishy soap rag as modern art project. If only we could get an entire subscription...
