If you ever told me I’d wear–and like wearing–neon orange tight pants I would have scoffed at you. Now I feel kinda silly about theoretically scoffing at you because I really love these. Continue reading »Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

It’s hard enough to coordinate what to wear out with  friends on a typical saturday night, but with summer  around the corner and pool party invitations rolling in, we have a whole new set of wardrobe anxieties to deal with.  Shedding our winter layers and stepping into basically our skivvies can sometimes leave us feeling, well, exposed. While we love the confidence our favorite Angels display while sporting next-to-nothing, we need a little more oomph in the fashion department to keep us feeling confident-i.e. that it was a good idea to share our un-bronzed gams with the rest of the party. The key to poolside style is accessorizing, and creating a ‘total look.’ With palm trees over head and bright blue water as your backdrop it’s the perfect opportunity to take risks and go for a look that on a regular day of the week might seem a little too theme-y. Recently we’ve been head over heels for Chloe Norgaard’s Rainbrow-brite style and spunk so we looked to her for inspiration when it came to creating these super-fly styles. Whether you’re wearing Dolce & Gabbana’s latest Italian inspired prints or tie-dye from head to toe, people will be admiring you from across the pool for all the right reasons. So have some fun with your look and make a splash! See the full slideshow on modelinia.com

Seriously, is there anything better than the year’s star-studded amfAR events? Earlier today, we had the chance to witness the second annual Carine Roitfeld-staged fashion show featuring 4o of the world’s top models just as many to-die-for all-gold ensembles.  Every top designer from Burberry and Chanel to Roberto Cavalli and Alexander McQueen had the chance to showcase their one-off 24K designs on the amfAR gala runway before being auctioned off for a total of 1.2 million euros— we can’t even begin to image how spectacular all of those gold creations would look hanging in our own closets! Of course, it was the dazzling group of models that stole the show for us!  Karolina Kurkova kicked things off with a surprise turn on the catwalk, followed by dozens of our favorite runway beauties.  Joan Smalls, Toni Garrn, Irina Shayk, Alessandra Ambrosio, Ana Beatriz Barros, Liberty Ross,Sui He, Lily Donaldson, Cora Emanuelle and Kati Nescher were all on hand rocking the gilded designs.  Did we mention Karlie Kloss‘ incredible headpiece? Amazing! We’ll be sharing all of the photos from tonight’s 20th annual Cinema Against AIDS amfAR Gala and Carine Roitfeld’s ‘Ultimate Gold Collection Fashion Show’ as they come in!  Until then, check out these gorgeous red carpet moments from this week’s celebrity-packed Cannes Film Festival!

Last night, following the senior’s fashion show in the afternoon, Parsons hosted a benefit dinner at Pier 60. The benefit served many purposes: to raise money for Parsons’ scholarships, honor Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez and Bonnie Brooks, President of Hudson’s Bay Company, showcase the senior class’ designs, and announce the Designers of the Year. That’s a lot to pack into one evening–and it was a long one!–but considering the benefit raised nearly $1.7 million for scholarships it was completely worth it. We caught up with attendees Prabal Gurung and Proenza Schouler as well as Parsons grad Harim Jung, who took home the womenswear designer of the year awards and the Kering Empowering Imagination Award.

The Cannes Film Festival isn't complete until amfAR's annual Cinema Against AIDS gala goes down. And right now, we're mesmerized by some seriously gorgeous red carpet ensembles that rival those from the week's biggest movie premieres. This year's attendees include Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a little white Dior dress and matching pumps, Karolina Kurkova in a black cutout gown, Jessica Chastain in a deep red cutout gown that matched her hair perfectly, and Olivia Palermo looking wild as ever in animal print (hello thigh-high slit!). Add a plethora of superchic models and actresses to that list and you have one glamorous affair. Click through to see who's wearing what at the 2013 amfAR benefit.

If Cannes has the most glamorous red carpet of the year, then the AmFar Gala, held annually during the film festival, is the ultra-ultra glam cherry on top. This year’s gala, held at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, saw A-listers like Jessica Chastain and Sharon Stone and models-of-the-moment Joan Smalls, Lily Donaldson and more, stomp the Read more → Continue reading »Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
