For Fall/Winter ’12-13 Stella Jean picks up where she left off with her chic Spring/Summer ’12 collection. Wax cotton African and Caribbean inspired prints cut in retro 1960’s silhouettes are this Haitian-Italian designer’s forte and she continues to wow us with her unorthodox pairings in this current stand-out collection. Jean loves to mix prints and this season she artfully blends her colorful patterns with a dash of preppy and Scottish wool plaids for a vintage and offbeat feminine vibe.

Renowned street-culture and hip-hop photojournalists Martha Cooper, Joe Conzo and Jamel Shabazz have teamed up with DRKRM, a lifestyle and photo-centric brand, to translate their iconic images from paper to super-soft cotton t-shirts. “Besides TV and film, one of fashion’s biggest visual platforms is the photograph,” says DRKRM’s James “Koe” Rodriguez, who along with his partner Dan Sears had the difficult task of going through each Cooper, Conzo and Shabazz’s extensive collection to find the right images to complement their collection.

The Maison Martin Margiela for H&M collection lookbook is out! This collection is inarguably the most anticipated H&M collaboration and the preview doesn’t disappoint. The merging of the avant-garde, minimalist Margiela with the commercial fashion chain epitomizes Margiela’s signature approach to design: smart, conceptual and modern but finally at a price point we can all get with.

I’ve always loved a wide-leg trouser and Michelle, shot by Stockholm Street Style in Paris, makes a great case for the return of this look for fall/winter. These aren’t the wide-leg pajama style palazzo pants we’ve been accustomed to seeing lately. These pants are classic menswear inspired and tailored. This style may have made a big trendy comeback on the Fall’12 runways of Proenza Schouler, Calvin Klein and Celine but it’s a timeless and essential silhouette worthy of a spot in ever woman’s closet.

82-year-old Malian photographer Adama Kouyaté may not be as instantly recognizable as fellow iconic Malian photographer Seydou Keïta, but his captivating black and white portraitures have nonetheless been instrumental in shaping the spirit and aesthetics of West African photography from the 1950s to the 1970s. At that time most people did not own personal cameras, so they often visited his modest store-front photo studio to capture important moments in their lives.

Mary Katrantzou has collaborated with Current/Elliott to design a capsule collection. Inspired by Katrantzou’s ‘World Traveler’ Spring’13 theme, the collection features postal stamps, banknotes and foreign currency patterns digitally printed on dresses, minis, tops and jacket, all cut from denim. Working with denim is a first for Katrantzou and we got to say the result of this union between the high-end London designer and denim giant Current/Elliott is a hit.

Opposites always attract.
