Cop This Look: Rihanna – 2012 Grammy’s

Rerock viciously:

The Bonnie Top by Motel

The Pretender Shorts by Mink Pink

The Peek-a-Bow Solid 70 Denier Tight by Betsey Johnson

The Double Chain Spike Necklace  by Luv AJ

Vice Puppies in Bondage: Not as Bad as it Sounds

We swear that this Vice bondage puppy show isn’t as terrible as it sounds, though PETA would probably disagree. Kicking off New York Fashion Week, our favorite anything-goes culture mag took over The Westway (a hipster-approved former strip club) to commemorate the release of its fashion issue. As Annette Lamothe-Ramos, Vice‘s fashion editor noted, “No one hates sexy puppies.” Can’t say I disagree… recently my pup walked into the room wearing a thong for a necklace and it was Hilarious (yes, with a capital H). Our canine friends may very well be more sartorially experimental than we give them credit for. Led across a stage by a leather-clad escort, the dogs coolly paraded in their bondage wears to the pleasure of human onlookers. We’re guessing the furry friends were compensated in the form of Eskimo kisses, belly rubs, and Pup-eroni.

Cheap Monday’s S/S 2012 Runway Video

Click here to view the embedded video.

Cheap Monday is starting to trickle in, and per usual, the Swedish brand is offering up some outstandingly comfortable gear for this spring. What we like most about the Spring-Summer 2012 collection is the trendy details (isn’t it always in the details?): bold colorblocked stripes, unusual necklines, and quirky silhouettes. Consistently presenting a high-fashion runway show each season, the brand’s new pieces were presented with nostalgic and romantic sensibilities hinting at the naivety of our parents’ youth. Watch the video above to scope out the whole collection.

Stylist: Naomi Itkes | Make up: Anya de Tobon
Hair: Erika Svedjevik | Set design: Tonie Zetterström | Music: Erik Haal
Casting: Marcus Pettersson | Show Coordinator: Lotta Andersson

P.S. Mark your calendars… A week from today, January 31, Cheap Monday’s Autumn/Winter 2012 show will be streamed live on Style.com at 10 am EST!
