Look of the Day: Fluted Hem

It's been raining the last couple of days so I'm glad I still have a couple sunny pictures to show you from last week in Warsaw. I've been looking for a skirt with this silhouette for the longest time and even though nobody else seems to like it (my bf, for example) it's definitely gonna be s staple in my wardrobe this summer.

Also, I finally got the chance to wear my new J.Crew necklace that's been held up by the customs and took literally two months to get to me, so happy it did!

Tee and bag - H&M

Being Modern: Street style

Been getting compliments on your new shirt? Did you once buy an item of clothing because it looked like something Kate Moss might wear? Are you friends with Nick Grimshaw?

Well, none of that matters. Because these days, you're not truly "fashion" until you've been street-snapped – papped by a fashion blogger while you're on the hoof. Forget stealing your soul, this means millions want to steal your entire outfit.

Many people cite Bill Cunningham as the father of street-style photography. Since 1978, Bill, his bike and a battered Nikon have searched Manhattan for the fabulously dressed for his New York Times column. It's considered such an honour to appear in "On the Street" that even frosty fashion editor Anna Wintour said, "We all get dressed for Bill." Except most of us probably don't. But that's not the attitude if you want to make it into the street-style hall of fame.

The movement also owes something to i-D magazine and the pictures it published of punks leaning moodily against scuffed walls. Suddenly glossy, perfectly retouched, big-budget magazine shoots were so last season and it was all about "keeping it real".

From The Sartorialist to (the slightly serial-killer-sounding) FaceHunter, street-style bloggers now travel the world searching for the best-dressed beautiful people. They've spawned books, ad campaigns and magazine features.

So what should one do to become street-style bait? Obviously it's not enough to be really cool (or why haven't we made it on to a blog yet?). To truly capture the essence of all things "street" you'll need an urban setting – there should be a fixed-gear bike or a Banksy behind you – and you'll be in a state of what fashion people call "deshabille" – roughly translated as "a hot mess".

Girls must spend three hours making their hair look as if they've had a fight with a wind machine, guys will need an oh-so-ironic moustache. And most importantly of all, you'll have an air of insouciant sulkiness, because one should never look remotely happy about getting street-snapped. That just wouldn't be hip. Kate Wills

Meet The Fashion Industry's Highest Paid Executives, But Where Are The Women?

It’s good to be an executive in fashion these days. Women’s Wear Dailycompiled a list of the top earning fashion executives at publicly traded companies in 2011 in the U.S., based on proxies filed with the SEC. A whopping 67 executives in the sector made more than $5 million last year—taking into account stock options. Unfortunately the gender gap in executive compensation is alive and well within the industry—only six women made the list. It’s particularly confounding considering that the fashion industry is supported largely by the purchasing power of women.

Sitting at the top of the list is J.C. Penney CEO Ron Johnson, who pocketed nearly $52.3 million last year. The top earning woman on the list,Ralph Lauren Executive Vice President Jackwyn Nemerov, earned a little over $12 million in 2011. That’s over a $40 million difference. No woman broke into the top 20.

Other women who made the cut include Ann Inc. CEO Kay Krill, who earned almost $10.8 million, CEO and President of Victoria’s Secret Limited Brands,Sharen Jester Turney, who earned just shy of $9.6 million and TargetExecutive Vice President Kathryn Tesija, who brought in $6.03 million.

Other top earners from the list include Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries, Iconix President and CEO Neil Cole, Ralph Lauren, the Chairman and CEO of his namesake brand, Executive Creative Director of Coach Reed Krakoff and Nike President and CEO Mark Parker. Notably, four J.C. Penney executives made the top ten (all men) despite the company’s plummeting sales and its drop in customer counts last year.

In a lot of ways the list doesn’t give a complete picture of the most powerful women in fashion. Several key women fashion executives were notably absent from the list because they work for private companies, including Global CEO of Chanel Maureen Chiquet. It’s a fair assumption that Chiquet is raking it in. Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts didn’t make the cut because the company she heads is traded on the London Stock Exchange. She took home around $24.5 million in pay, perks and shares last year.

Fashion it seems isn’t much different than the business world at large in terms of its gender gap in executive compensation. The highest paid CEO of a publicly traded company in the U.S. in 2011 was Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, who raked in almost $378 million including salary, bonus, perks and stock options. Well behind Cook is top-earning woman Kraft CEO Irene Rosenfeld, whose total compensation was just shy of $22 million in 2011.
