At only 19, the Russian emigre gymnastics star Nastia Liukin already has a Wikipedia entry longer than most KGB files. And it doesn't even talk about the fun stuff.

Certainly her stellar athletic career (2008 Olympic gold medalist for the U.S.; multiple World Championships) warrants the million words of dry sports statistics. But the fact that she both collaborates on designing a girls' line for Vanilla Star Jeans and is the spring/summer face of Max Azria is glossed over in exactly one sentence.

Let's ask her about it, shall we?

I want that! Malin Akerman in Max Azria

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Get the Look

You might recognize Swedish born actress Malin Akerman from flicks like 27 Dresses, The Heartbreak Kid, Harold & Kumar, and the 2006 season of Entourage.

Though we certainly recognized her face, we never knew her name nor did we know she had such a killer sense of style. We proudly introduce to ourselves as well as our readers to, Malin Akerman; in a completely insane Max Azria dress.

Malin is on the trend tip with her pointed toe pumps, dusty plum hue, layers, hemline, and batwinged sleeves. What we love most is that she can actually wear all of these trends without looking over the top.

In the words of the wise Tim Gunn, "Well done!" Hope to see you 'round some more Malin!

Max Azria thinks Hilary Clinton is sexy.

Filed under: Fashion Week



You knew that the Olympics and Hilary Clinton were going to inspire designers this season. BCBG Max Azria was no exception. The designer admitted that that both Mrs. Clinton and the impending Olympics were two of the biggest influences for his Spring 2009 collection.

We would have to agree. The show was full of empowering jumpsuits, rompers, and dresses that would make any woman feel as commanding as Hilary. And as Max Azria put it, the "silky, floating fabrics" were certainly reminiscent of strong and sexy Grecian goddesses who probably stood at the very first Olympics.

To keep the collection "contemporary," Azria chose to mix trends like jumpers, asymmetrical cuts and dusty colors with his signature looks.

Stylist poll: to fake your bangs or not?

Filed under: Hair Care, Polls and Quizzes


Today's Stylist poll is about fake bangs. Should you or shouldn't you, would you or wouldn't you?

We say, OMG yes!

Bangs can be the hardest hairstyle to pull off successfully, unless you're Heidi Klum, with an amazing face and 24/7 groomers to make sure they are exactly the right length at all times. Plus, growing them out takes forever.

But fake bangs take all of the maintenance, and commitment, out of the equation.

Prada, pictured here, went (as usual) for an ultra faux bang look. Fakies also turned up, just slightly more natural looking, at the Hervé Léger by Max Azria for Fall '08.

If those are too outré for you, there is always the standard sex kitten clip-on heavy bang, available across the internets for pocket change.

So, are you in or are you out? Go vote!
