French actress Emmanuelle Riva gives a tour-de-force performance as the ailing Anne in Michael Haneke’s film Amour — and the accolades she’s garnered thus far demonstrate as much. The 86 year old has already walked off with a BAFTA as well as a spate of film critics awards (10 and counting). Tomorrow — her birthday — she’s up for Best Actress at the Oscars. Here, Paris film critic Olivier Joyard writes about Riva’s journey.
What can you expect from this month, the water sign of Pisces (February 18th – March 20th)? Astrology expert Susie Cox tells all….
It’s been a big year for Ziggy Marley — and we’re only two months in. He released a new album, took to the stage for the blowout Bob Marley tribute at the Grammy Awards, with Bruno Mars, Rihanna and Sting, and is about to unveil the next episode of his Marijuanaman superhero series. This Sunday, meanwhile, he hits up the South Beach Food & Wine Festival for a Reggae Jam concert — and to promote his new line of organic food, too. Here, we chatted with Ziggy about all of the above as well as his legendary dad, who happens to be one of Tory’s favorite artists. Her top song? Three Little Birds. As for Ziggy’s favorite….
Calling all travelers, wanderers and drifters…. Follow our bohemian-chic magpie in the season’s lookbook video by Matt Baron and Theo Stanley, styled by Brian Molloy. It’s bright. It’s colorful. It’s the perfect spring escape.
For some, awards season is all about best picture and best actress. Around here? It’s about the best dressed. Of course, some of our favorite stars have a sartorial secret weapon: stylist Elizabeth Stewart, a longtime veteran of The New York Times, WWD and W. In the lead-up to the Academy Awards on Sunday — for which she’ll dress nominee Jessica Chastain — the Santa Monica mother of two, here wearing Tory’s Jodie Dress, took some time out to chat with us about Jessica’s style and the secret to looking red-carpet good.
Here comes Spring 2013: The collection’s American prep remix is defined by a stylish magpie who travels the world, picking up special pieces and mixing them with classic sportswear. Tailored silhouettes tap into the free spirit of the season with bohemian detailing — beading, embroidery, pom-poms, fringe. Kaleidoscopic colors and prints conjure far-flung locales. And speaking of, we traveled to the beautifully bright, sun-baked haciendas near Tulum, with photographer Norman Jean Roy and models Tati Cotliar, Shu Pei and Ophelie Rupp, to shoot our lookbook, and this hippie-chic nomad in her natural habitat.

What is it about Larry Gagosian’s annual Thursday night dinner at Mr. Chow that’s made it one of the hottest Oscar week invites for the last 15 years? We think it’s the eclectic mix of people from all creative walks. You might find yourself enjoying squab-in-lettuce wraps next to Anjelica Huston or waiting in the valet line behind Tom Ford. Or discussing appropriation in fashion vs. art with Richard Prince, whose new Cowboys exhibit at the Beverly Hills Gagosian Gallery is the cause for this year’s celebration. While the guest list changes each year, there’s one thing you can count on: cool conversations about subjects other than just movies — a near impossibility during Oscar week.
Q: Where do you find your inspiration for prints?
A: Ideas for prints and patterns come from anywhere at any time. I’ve been inspired by paint splatters on walls before. This season, our Akira print — seen on some of our dresses, skirts and more — is based off a tile pattern I saw a few years ago in Istanbul, an incredible ancient city. We tried to recreate the beautifully faded quality of the traditional Iznik tiles, which had withstood centuries of wind and sun in the Bosphorus. It’s one of my favorite prints for spring, summer and beyond.
If you’re looking to transform your home into an exotic wonderland, by way of Persia or the Ballet Russes, we have two words for you: Tissus Tartares. That’s the name of Moscow-born, Brooklyn-based Olya Thompson’s four-year-old collection of Eurasian-inspired fabrics — from florals with a Diaghilev touch to graphic ikats. Here, Thompson shares her story and décor tips while dishing la vie en russe.
Thought Fashion Week was over? We’re only a quarter way through. Next up: London, then Milan and Paris. With the fashion set heading across the pond, we spoke to model and DJ Morwenna Lytton Cobbold, who’s part Brit-part American, for her ultimate runway playlist. She gave us a little West Coast Haim, some East London Punks and even dished about the difference between the fashion (and fashion weeks) of both cities. Plus, she told us about a certain Victorian novelist in her family tree, who gave us that oft-quoted adage about pens being mightier than swords. Really.
Fashion Week is just as much about what’s happening on the sidelines of the runway. For instance, Anna Dello Russo in her Prada coat caught our eye — red and white is something we’re into for spring, too, and we love how she accented hers with a pink lip. Brad Goreski was there, looking post-Nemo-ready in a chic blanket coat and his signature bow tie. And then there’s everybody’s favorite street photographer, the great Bill Cunningham, who got everyone to smile.
Songs, like chocolate, are an essential part of a proper Valentine’s celebration. Here are some musical caramels and clusters. Sweet and some bittersweet.
Sure, a dozen red roses are a Valentine’s Day staple, but why not skip the de rigueur for something chic and unexpected? White sweet pea blooms, packed tightly, feel fun and flirtatious while a mixed bouquet of red anemones and chocolate cosmos are dramatic and sexy. Whatever your floral leanings, don’t forget about the vase — simpler styles for busier bouquets and vice versa.

In celebration of our Fall 2013 show this week, we’ve created a special wallpaper based on the backdrop to our runway. The inspiration: the feminine romanticism of Gustav Klimt, René Lalique and William Morris. Download this Tory Burch print to your computers, iPads and iPhones.
Our Fall 2013 show started around 9.20 AM, but for Tory, the day started much, much earlier. Here’s a snapshot of how the day unfolded.
In her monthly column, Vogue Style Editor-at-Large Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis (known affectionately by her friends as TNT) shares her jet-set adventures, which take her to points exotic and luxe all over the world — from art It Girl Dasha Zhukova’s 30th birthday in Africa to dog sledding with friends in the Arctic Circle. This week, of course, the German-born princess (wearing a custom Tory skirt here) found herself at the center of New York Fashion Week — and we got the lowdown on one adventure-filled night. For TNT, it’s all in a day’s work….

Here, a breakdown of Fall 2013’s runway trends, inspired by the work of René Lalique and the rich detailing of Gustav Klimt’s portraits.
“The decorative styles of Gustav Klimt and René Lalique inspired Fall 2013’s free-spirited and romantic mood. We focused on the details: dragonflies and scarabs printed on dresses, as well as wrapped around the heels of shoes; metallic prints and patterns; mixed textures, and subtle volume. It all centers around the idea of 24-hour dressing — special pieces to wear from day to evening.” — Tory Burch
