Jeremy Scott Meets Bart Simpson at NYFW

"I present Bart as a teen dream, [because] that’s who he is to me," said designer Jeremy Scott in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Scott, who is arguably one of our generation's greatest young designers, features the famous Simpsons son in his fall 2012 collection.

"I chased [Fox] down like a dog in heat," Scott said. "I fell madly in love with Bart. And I’m not even the diehard, every-episode fan. It’s just such a part of pop culture."

Scott, who’s clothing pieces are being seen all over the place right now, is becoming a major part of pop culture himself. Released last week, his Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals collaboration effort is generating much chatter. The music and fashion industry’s elite have been seen in the collection’s sneakers, some of which feature plush teddy bears, Mickey Mouse, and the American flag.

Where have you seen Scott’s work most recently? Well, aside from Opening Ceremony at NYFW, Scott’s gold-winged sneakers and music note track suits were seen all over Madonna’s background dancers at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.

Suede, Stacked, Strapped, and Sparkling

We’re conditioned to believe that what we wear on our feet to parties should be limited to our sexiest of heels. However, these pumps by Opening Ceremony par Robert Clergerie (made with suede, a stacked heel, an ankle strap, and sparkling flair) have more school girl charm than they do sex appeal, and they're surprisingly fitting for the party scene.

Opting for platform pumps is a great alternative in lieu of the typical stripper-heels you may be inclined to slip your feet into. We suggest styling these with your favorite pair of tights for your next holiday party.

While the pair above comes with a price point of nearly $800, we’ve hunted down a more wallet-friendly pair: Sam Edelman’s Lyla. Though they are sans sparkles, they still offer the suede, the stacked heel, and the classy ankle strap. Happy feet and a happy wallet!

Trendy Turtlenecks for Fall

It could be the cold weather, or it could be inspiration from Steve Job's go-to look — whatever it is, turtlenecks have been gracing the runways left and right. From Altuzarra, to Opening Ceremony, to Rachel Comey, the trend that has long since remained questionable seems to have found it's new chic counterpart.

Silhouettes range from chunky to slim fit, and designers are making sure to give their turtlenecks a modern twist — to keep you from looking too Urkel.

See a couple more looks after the jump, and find the look that's best for you!

Purr-fect Opening Ceremony

Industry favorites Carol Lim and Humberto Leon have been busy this season turning around Kenzo and reimaging it as a must-have brand. Lucky for us, that doesn't mean they've forgotten the cult brand that first blasted them into popularity: Opening Ceremony.

The spring 2012 line draws its inspiration from summer music festivals, ranging from England to Argentina, and then back to the U.S. The festival look, with obvious nineties influences, gives us a collection that will no doubt be everywhere by next summer's festivities. Combining a plethora of baby-doll and crop-top silhouettes, the line features this year's must-have (thanks largely in part to Grace Coddington) ... CAT FACES! Adorably imaged on many of the collection's white pieces, the cat faces are both graphic and cut out — but, in both cases, awesome.

Check out more pictures of the line after the jump, and start your new list of must-haves!

Rodarte X Opening Ceremony's Lookbook is a Looker

If there was an award for best creative Ensemble in lookbook production, everyone who was behind Rodarte for Opening Ceremony would definitely recieve a golden trophy. So what does it take to make a set of artsy, dreamy, images that will inspire "oohs" and "ahhs" and some serious fashion lust in any unsuspecting viewer?

Then, have them collaborate with Opening Ceremony; genius retailer that carries what an no-nonsense fashionista could ever want.

No exotic locale or crazy hair and make up necessary.

The results? Judge for yourself and preview part of the wonderful fruits of their labor after the jump!

Levi's Chambray x Opening Ceremony

Opening Ceremony teamed up with Levi's for the third time, producing a capsule collection for the coolest guys and gals in town. With a brand like Levi's, the classic chambray pieces will surely stand the test of your closet's time. What doesn't go with denim anyway? The lookbook was shot by none other than Terry Richardson (who has taken iconic photographs of public figures like President Obama to a myriad of naked models) and the campaign video (which can be seen here) was directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.

Fall 2011 Collections That You’d Want To Wear: Part I

There are those collections that you admire on other people (i.e. models in editorials) and there are those that you actually want on your back. The following collections give you the latter, with clothes that are wearable yet new and forward enough to satisfy a fashionista at heart.

NAHM (pictured above) – Ally Hilfiger (yes, that Hilfiger) and Nary Manivong collaborated to present their first collection that reinvents the shirt dress. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven,” the collection definitely has a certain dark and macabre feeling about it, destabilizing the concept of the simple staple and distorting it through asymmetrical hemlines and the use of unexpected black and clay-hued textured fabrics. With the duo’s successful inventiveness, the shirt dress will surely be “nevermore” boring again. Click to see more after the jump!
