To embellish garments and accessorizes of his RTW Fall 2013 collection Raf Simons chooses playful and delicate vintage illustrations made by Andy Warhol in the late 50′s. Some of the famous early sketches of shoes and slippers adorn the bags , while flowers, butterflies and ethereal female heads lighten the elegant outfits. Amazing.
By choosing to explore Andy Warhol’s early drawings as graphic inspiration for his dreamlike collection, Simons managed to also consolidate the remarkable affinity that he and Christian Dior apparently shared. Their love for art and their retro fascination created a bridge between past and present, best reflected in the spectacular “memory dresses” gently embroidered with symbolic motifs.

Back in the late 1970s and early ’80s, the only place hip New Yorkers wanted to be seen after dark was Studio 54. "It was truly an amazing time" - said Grece Jones - "Studio 54 was literally thriving with celebrities".
From Truman Capote to Liza Minnelli, from Michael Jackson to Richard Gere, Lauren Bacall, Sophia Loren, Woody Allen, Sylvester Stallone, Farrah Fawcett, Bianca Jagger, Dustin Hoffman, Shirley MacLaine, Olivia Newton-John, Diana Ross, Andy Warhol, Elton John and many many others, every hip and famous person in New York partied at Studio 54.
All of this was of course immortalized in hundreds of pictures, many of them part of the estate of Steve Rubell, Studio 54’s charismatic co-owner.
His private collection of photos and memorabilia will be auctioned January the 19th at noon by the Palm Beach Modern Auctions house, with prices ranging from 400 to 3000 $.

The curators at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology are stepping in to host decades of fashion, all in one place. The institute re-vamped their collection of iconic designs in an online archive. The website includes over 600 pieces, ranging from 19th century evening capes to Rodarte's Christian Louboutin spiked platforms.
You can browse the museum with a keyword search, by decade, or simply weeding out the clothes to go straight to shoes and bags. Now, we have years of fashion at our fingertips, without having to do all the heavy research (as if that's stopping us from building our Netflix queue).
