Meet the woman helping men own the red carpet
Ilaria Urbinati is Hollywood's premier men's stylist, with a client list that boasts best-actor nominees Bradley Cooper and Rami Malek as wellas John Krasinski, Armie Hammer, Donald Glover... the list goes on.

The president and founder of SCAD reflects on the generosity of Karl Lagerfeld
On Friday, Paula Wallace, the president and founder of Savannah College of Art and Design, joined the fashion community in mourning the loss of Karl Lagerfeld. "Karl was generous," she wrote, referring to the time the designer donated 41 of his large-scale photographs to the SCAD Museum of Art in 2002. "He was a man of old school etiquette. He moved quickly and seemed to have so much to do, but not in a frenetic way. Karl conducted himself as though he valued time." {WWD}
