RTW Fall

The TODAY Show sparked an outpouring of celebration when it posed a photo to its Facebook page on April 14. The photo showed Ryan and Jillian with their parents on their wedding day. Both Ryan and Jillian – who was smiling with the eternal smile of a joyful bride – have Down syndrome.

Paul, Jillian’s dad, shared a letter he had written to his daughter, and TODAY posted it for the whole world to see. The post already has more than 50,000 reactions, 5,700 shares, and 2,000 comments – many with parents celebrating the accomplishments and inherent beauty of their own children with Down syndrome.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are all set to make a much-awaited visit to India and Bhutan, April 10 onward. So, with all eyes on the Duchess, it's only obvious that she readies her India-Bhutan wardrobe much in advance.

The royal couple's itinerary includes a range of high profile events, including an evening with A-list Bollywood stars such as Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan at a charity gala, meetings with local NGOs and children's charities; a visit to a slum; a hike to a mountain top monastery and a visit to the Taj Mahal, according to ibitimes.com.

Former actress Helen Flanagan has certainly come a long way since her days on the cobbles.

The 25-year-old ex Coronation Street star recently took to Instagram with a busty snap of her showing off masses of cleavage.

Wedding season is upon us, but if you are confused by the dress code (yes, there still is one) for your particular event, we can decode it.

We’ve called in the experts to help you avoid any wedding day blunders and to offer a few ways to save money on your wedding attire.

This Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia, there was no doubt that the post-Soviet influence of labels like Vetements and Gosha Rubchinskiy was present. But aside from a lone designer or two, the early-’90s Russian look now synonymous with the motherland occurred more on the street than on the runway. Instead, many young designers crafted their own identities, and it’s far from the bazaar-plucked aesthetics of their contemporaries. Take the label Saint-Tokyo by St. Petersburg designer Yury Pitenin. Already catching the eye of Lady Gaga, who wore one of his leather body-con dresses a few months ago, Pitenin has a head-turning futuristic style, experiments with prints, and meshes different fabrics. His outerwear is cool, too: He makes a sweet flower print look bad-to-the-bone when he crafts it into the sleeves of a leather biker jacket.

Also, as in the country Georgia, there seems to be a flourishing knitwear scene in Russia, as well. The proof is in Ksenia Seraya, who launched her label in 2013, this season whipping up clingy knit frocks and slouchy trousers in a light technique. On the denim front, St. Petersburg-based sisters Katerina and Vera Viper of the label Vipers managed to sex up a pair of simple jean flares by cutting diamond slits in the back of the knee.

Now that all the major gongs have been dished out, it’s time for us to take home the season’s best red carpet style pointers.

IT’S a decidedly First World problem: should actresses stick with what they know and love on the red carpet and risk being labelled boring, or try something daring but face the threat of landing themselves in that seventh circle of fashion hell, the Worst Dressed List?

We’ve all been there: Watching the bride-to-be giddily unwrap each and every gift while we politely sip our mimosas. Or enduring the fifth “how well do you know the bride?” or “what’s inside your purse?” game this year alone. If you’re planning a bridal shower, skip the clichés and try these bridal shower ideas that the your guests will genuinely enjoy.

Moda Magazine wrapped up its UW Fashion Week with their annual runway show Friday night, where student designers and Madison area retailers showcased their collections at Union South.

About 500 students and residents gathered in Union South’s Varsity Hall to watch UW Fashion Week’s finale show with eight featured collections, ranging from student and local designers to boutique retailers.

You've checked out the striped handbags, the floral slip dresses, the cropped culotte pants and flats - just a few of the latest spring fashion trends - but now you've got to pull it all together. Expand your fashion thinking. It's all about new possibilities. Here are some tips for styling your wardrobe this spring:

n Do more with a dress. Wear a dress like a tunic top over skinny pants. This season, look for soft slip dresses that easily fall over leggings or jeans. This layering is one of the hottest trends this season.

Thirty-eight vendors, a diamond ring “cake dive,” and a runway show with the “Hip Hop Cops” as male models are to be featured in the Tribune-Star’s 16th annual Bridal Showcase next March 13 in Hulman Center.

“If you are engaged and planning a wedding, this is like a one-stop shop where you can get information and prices because of the variety of vendors,” said Erin Powell, Tribune-Star advertising director. “We also have wedding planners.”

Everyone has his or her own idea of what a perfect day would be. To Jun Takahashi, on a perfect day — the title of his fall collection of wonderful, perfect imperfection — “nothing happens,” he said backstage.

In the zany fairy-tale realm of the show’s grand, graceful beauties, ranging in age from newly post-pubescent to silver-haired seniors, on the best day anything can happen. It takes you deep into your own world, where you can live and dress as you please. That could mean donning a thorny crown and a shirt printed with golden hair cascading over a painting. Putting on your high-waisted pants made from a mossy green material that looked like fake astrakhan, and pinning a gold watch and mini handbag on the pocket. That was the show’s opening look. It set a fantastically strange baseline on which Takahashi built oddball queens of comfort dressed in cocoon layers of deconstructed knits, fuzzy pajamas, elegant tailoring, egregiously fake fur coats, and cozy, extralong collegiate knit scarves.
