At the very end of New York Fashion Week I made my way to The New Yorker for Couture Fashion Week. The annual event is sponsored by Emirates Airlines, who is now flying between New York and Milan. The event I attended showcased 3 brands:  Yasmine Studio, 3zehn, and Pedram Couture.... Read More

Dries Van Noten Fall 2014

Image via W Magazine Dries, Dries, electric Dries. Audacious, powerful, with an injection of Op-Art graphics, Van Noten never fails to twist the lid on rendering a first-rate collection that was fun, bold, and colorful yet executed oh-so-carefully.

Hair Do’s

Do you ever wake up looking like this bed head beauty? For most people here on Earth, the answer is an absolute no. There are times that my hair looks extra straight, fine and smooth, but after all, this is Anja Rubik. On a daily basis, my hair needs a... Read More

Because It’s Monday

Most of you should have seen the “History of Rap” act by Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake by now. Friday night the pair performed the rap for the fifth time on The Tonight Show and once again presented an impressive medley of some of the most iconic tracks in rap history. In case... Read More

The Heart’s Desire

Wy not celebrate for the love of love, Valentine’s Day by telling your loved one, whether that be your boyfriend, girlfriend, brother or sister... Read More

Fur is the Accessory of the Hour
