Trend Alert! Peplums spotted on both Michelle Williams and Tina Fey at the Oscars | Hollywood yohana

From the Spring and Fall ’12 runways to the red carpet at the Academy Awards, it seems pretty clear: the peplum is in the building! Spotted tonight on both Tina Fey, in a regal looking custom-made Carolina Herrera gown, and Michelle Williams, in a tiered coral Louis Vuitton, this trend is certainly having a moment. While adding a bit of extra volume at the waist might seem a little tricky, both actresses are showcasing the look on two very different body types. So, what do you think? Will you be trying the peplum this year?

Learn how to replicate these stunners in three simple steps (easy enough for even the very amateurish of crafters). All you need is 20 minutes and a few inexpensive items.

The scoop on Chanel’s latest art project and all the celebrities who were there to toast to it in New York | Hollywood yohana

The scoop on Chanel’s latest art project and all the celebrities who were there to toast to it in New York | Hollywood yohana

The jump from mere popularity to timelessness is a big one, and very rarely does an item cross the gap. The few styles that have become truly timeless (take jeans and the classic white T, for example) usually aren’t solely owned by one brand. The little black jacket, on the other hand, has one very famous creator: Chanel.
To celebrate almost 60 years of LBJs, Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld have collaborated on the book The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s Classic Revisited, which will be released this fall. The book features over 100 images of 109 celebrities, ranging from Monégasque royalty Charlotte Casiraghi to rapper Kanye West, all styled by Carine Roitfeld in Chanel LBJs.

“I cannot say that there were real rules,” Lagerfeld told WWD about how he and Roitfeld picked their subjects, who Lagerfeld shot within the space of six days. “There are people she preferred and people I preferred, and then we mixed it all. It’s a mix of different tastes and different choices.”
The pair fêted the collection of black and white photographs in New York last night to kick off the SoHo exhibition, which opens tomorrow. As all Chanel events tend to be, the party was full of Chanel-clad celebrities, including some of the book’s stars and ambassadors for the brand, Elisa Sednaoui,  Leigh Lezark and Jen Brill.
The New York exhibition is the second in a string of international stops the stylist-designer duo will be making. They first debuted the book and collection of photographs in Tokyo on March 31.

Daphne Guinness is (once again) bringing her style to beauty counters with a M.A.C. Cosmetics collaboration. The collection will hit stores on Boxing Day and, because the most fashionable things are only available for a limited time, they’ll be on sale until February 9, 2012. (Though, we suspect they will sell out long before then.) With 21 pieces, the collection’s much more substantial than Guinness’s 2010 collaboration with Nars—the M.A.C. collection includes nail polishes, lipsticks, glosses, shadows for both eyelids and brows, and two tantalizing ombré blush palettes. Guinness says the collection is a window into her imagination, with an “elegant wash of watercolour-inspired shades that recall the classically beautiful cool and rich tones of the Old Masters and the stark light of northern Europe.” As for the most covetable items, our bets are on “Hyperion,” a creamy, sea foam–grey polish that’s sure to be instantly snatched up by lacquer lovers. And the CremeSheen Glass in “Narcissus” is almost fuchsia but described as a “dirty eggplant” shade—what more could a fan of Daphne Guinness want? | Hollywood yohana

It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of inventive manicures (check out our DIY Nails video series and Nail Corner column for further proof) and without a doubt the best inspiration comes from the runways. It’s worth pointing out that nude nails—that is, sheer taupe shades in barely-there colours—continued to dominate in New York. However, despite the abundance of one-colour manicures, CND, M.A.C, and Essie produced some very exciting nail-art designs for Fall 2012.

The latest rumour about modeling sensation Andrej Pejic | Hollywood yohana

The latest rumour about modeling sensation Andrej Pejic | Hollywood yohana

What’s our favourite androgynous model Andrej Pejic to do after ruling the runway, posing in push-up bras, and landing our February cover? Why, a fragrance campaign, of course! It seems the beauty, who is giving the ladies and gents of the runway a run for their money, has no signs of slowing down. He may soon be the fresh face of a perfume.
A French TF1 Channel called Sept a Huit aired a taping of behind-the-scenes action with Pejic, documenting the model in fittings and rehearsals for Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall 2012 menswear show and Michalksy womenswear show in Berlin, in which the commentator exposed via voice-over that Pejic “will sign, in several weeks, his first contract to lend his image to a major perfume brand.”
Which campaign will the fashion chameleon grace? No word on the label quite yet.  However, Pejic’s affiliation with Gaultier makes us wonder if he’s a candidate for the (mens? womens? unisex?) fragrance.
Then again, Pejic was featured in the (always edgy) Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 campaign which was a brilliant fit, (Dakota Fanning better cling to her Lola bottle!) and Louis Vuitton still hasn’t announced who will be the face of its new fragrance. The options seem endless for fashion’s latest obsession.
We may not know much about the campaign yet, but we do know one thing: Pejic is bound to produce stellar pictures (as always) and we’ll be waiting on the edges of our seats to see them!

THEY SAID…

Styleite: “We’d buy whatever he’s selling.”
Frockwriter: “It’s only a matter of time, surely, before Pejic hits the big time in terms of commercial contracts. Such is his unique point of difference in the fashion business—an unparalleled ability to model both menswear and womenswear.”

WE SAID…

Lesa Hannah, beauty director: “If it’s true, AMAZEBALLS.”

Newbie model repeatedly falls at Anthony Vaccarello’s Fall 2012 show in Paris | Hollywood yohana

Newbie model repeatedly falls at Anthony Vaccarello’s Fall 2012 show in Paris | Hollywood yohana

Paris Fashion Week is proving to have its ups and (very literal) downs. Yesterday, model Pauline Hoarau had some major shoe problems at the Anthony Vaccarello Fall 2012 show. The newbie model fell so many times during the finale that she had to be propped up like a rag doll and escorted off the runway by two good Samaritan models (sadly, Karlie Kloss, who returned the runways for the first time this season, wasn’t one of them).
We’re not sure if this reflects worse on the model or on Vaccarello’s shoes, which were (impressively) from the designer’s new shoe collab with Giuseppe Zanotti. Because if a model can’t walk in them, where does that leave us?
