Nostalgic “Total Look” at MOCA Los Angeles

Posted 04.06.12 by Dianne Molina

A new exhibit at The Museum of Contemporary Art takes visitors on a nostalgic, color-soaked romp through the L.A. fashion scene of the 1960s. The Total Look: The Creative Collaboration between Rudi Gernreich, Peggy Moffitt, and William Claxton showcases the prolific and iconic partnership between acclaimed fashion designer Rudi Gernreich, his favorite model and muse Peggy Moffitt and her husband William Claxton, a noted jazz and celebrity photographer who began photographing Gernreich’s work in 1957 and documented every single collection from 1962. Curated by Decades founder Cameron Silver, the exhibit features a vibrant selection of 55 Gernreich designs from Moffitt’s personal collection as well as fashion films and photographs taken by Claxton of Moffitt modeling the body-conscious, “mod” clothes.

London Fashion Week, Fall/Winter 2012

Posted 02.21.12 by Gabrielle de Papp

London Fashion Week has blossomed from the industry stepchild to the It Girl of fashion weeks. Burberry Prorsum, Erdem, McQ Alexander McQueen, Issa London, Christopher Kane and Mary Katrantzou all showed this week. Tom Ford held private appointments. I’ve been trying to keep up with Ken Downing here for four packed days. Speaking of it girls, I’ve seen Alexa Chung’s haircut on heads all over town. Another beauty note: “tattooed” eyelids, with points clearly drawn on the outer corners of the upper lids. You heard it here.
