O.M.G. We are all over this tuxedo jacket/shorts trend, first shown at Alexander Wang for Spring '09, and now worn by starlet Emma Roberts.Filed under: Clothing
The growing backlash to skinny jeans might reach a tipping point in 2009. Siwy -- one of our favorite denim brands -- just debuted a 24" bell bottom jean called the Chloe.

While designer Michelle Siwy has always offered flared-leg denim, this pair takes the bell to a whole new level. (Flats are definitely not an option when you're rocking these.)
Siwy isn't the first to rebel against skinny and straight-leg denim. 7 For All Mankind, for example, has also been offering some 60s-inspired silhouettes for women who have tired of too-tight jeans.
We think it's high time denim designers started experimenting with flare again. But is the world ready for pants with a two-foot wide opening? Only 2009 will tell. Keep reading to check out some celeb examples of the trend.

Katie Holmes took a lot of fashion flack this year for wearing pegged jeans. But just a couple of months ago in New York, she scored style points by taking a very different denim risk. These bell bottoms put a modern spin on the classic shape with flattering, slimming seams.

Katie has more in common with Penelope Cruz than she does with her husband Tom. The Spanish actress was a belle in bell bottoms when she donned a slouchy pair to an appearance on Good Morning America this summer.

The supermodel -- who can get away with wearing anything, really -- recently rocked a pair of psychedelic ultra-flares on a Brazilian runway. (We'd save this very tight, very tie-dyed version for a long night in Ibiza, though.)

Victoria Beckham has been ditching her usual skinny jeans lately and making the scene in bell bottoms. Here, she put a 1970s spin on the bell at the May launch of her denim line, dVb, with menswear inspired pants and a dramatic blouse.

Blumarine gave the classic denim a snow-bunny spin for this season, pairing it with puffer vests and metallic accessories. There's nothing dated or difficult about this take on the bell.

T-Boz and Chilli took the super flare to a whole new level at this summer's BET awards. But their over-the-top look came across as a bit too costume-y. (Their feet apparently agreed and went into hiding for the night.)

Iconic "It" girl Edie Sedgwick (here with Andy Warhol) rocked a glam, downtown version of the bell bottom in its heyday at the 1971 Mod Ball in New York City. (Yes, those are silver lame.)

I don't usually point out dresses are well, well, well above my budget because really now -- it hurts me to see such a beautiful thing that I know I can get in a similar style at say...H&M. Nonetheless, the Chloe Jacquard Dress deserves a little attention because it's so unique. Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style
One year ago, Phoebe Philo resigned from her position as creative director at Chloe so that she could be a stay-at-home-mom. Since that time, Philo has popped in and out of the headlines with small projects such as her designer collaboration with the Gap. However, the most exciting Philo news is the rumor that British Vogue printed earlier today in which Phoebe Philo was said to be launching her own line of clothing! And as Vogue put it, it's not a question of "if", but a question of "when". Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

The International Herald Tribune has thought-provoking article that considers the fashion industry's current preference for the pre-pubescent girl over the woman. Normally, something this would not sit well with me -- I think people who think too much about the meaning of trends quickly become tedious. But with the recent ban on super-skinny models in Madrid and similar movements in other cities across the world, it raises the question of why any woman would want to dress like a child.Filed under: Runway Trends, Stores We Love, Clothing
