Designer Nanette Lepore’s Fall 2008 collection debuted at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Feb. 6. It was an extremely feminine collection with a color palette that ranged from black, gray, plumy burgundy, and pale pink to fuchsia, red, orange, and teal. Tweeds and plaids were mixed in with floral blouses, colorful stripes, embroidered sweaters, and lots of lace, giving the collection a glamorous yet wearable feel.

DJ, designer, and man-about-town Benjamin Cho is something of a mad genius—sure, he can sew, drape, and tailor to perfection, but his vision extends far beyond the “pretty” or the “pleasing” toward pieces that could stand on their own as works of art.

As Pulp's creative engine, Jarvis Cocker composed sexy, class-conscious dance hits like "Common People" that defined Britpop and the '90s in U.K., but his first solo effort, Jarvis, is the soundtrack to the domestication of a Britpop darling.

Musician Bobby Sichran, who attended Columbia in the early '90s, conceived his latest release, Peddler in Babylon, as a concept album about the modern American's crisis of faith. Accordingly, his style is grounded in the blues, Bob Dylan, and dreams of hitchhiking.
