May 16, 2007 – What better way to celebrate Karl Lagerfeld’s ICP Trustees Award than with a video that explores his passion for photography? In the exclusive FLY clip making its online debut on Style.com today, Joanne Colan, anchor of the vlog Rocketboom, interviews the multitasking designer about his black-and-white photographs of Paris at dusk—the subject of a recent exhibition, Farewell to Daylight, at Pace/MacGill Gallery. "At this hour statues get something human they don't have during the day," Lagerfeld says of his favorite time in the City of Light. "At this hour they are alive. It sounds stupid, but it's not stupid for me."

The Lagerfeld video marks the start of a new collaboration between Style.com and FLY. A digital fashion magazine available solely in disc format, FLY DVD has been attracting interest from the fashion-meets-art set since its first installment launched at Art Basel Miami in December 2005. Zero Issue and its follow-up, Words Remembered, feature short films, documentaries, and interviews, with serious attention paid to the accompanying soundtrack—no surprise to fans of the runway DJ team Labtonic, Nima Abbasi and Laurent Vacher, who founded FLY with Catherine Cushman and Stephen Ghukfvin.

Look for more videos from FLY's premier issues on Style.com in the coming months.

Anne Valérie Hash and Cathy Pill, by coincidence, both said they were inspired by the Viennese Secessionist artists Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. As it turned out, though, the references weren't particularly apparent in either Hash's pleated tweed miniskirts and tutus or Cathy Pill's abstract photoprint and jacquard dresses. If neither made an especially strong statement, they don't aspire to the kind of work seen on other runways this week. How, then, do these designers belong to "couture"? Only in the sense that some of their items are handmade one-offs. Never mind. Their presence is stirring a new kind of interest in Paris, and doubtless they'll be joined by others in seasons to come.
Boudicca's collection of sharply carved tailored pieces and fiercely dramatic dresses made for a strong debut from the perfectionist and passionate Zowie Broach and Brian Kirby. They've been honing and refining their skills in the East End of London since the late nineties, only using the most beautiful of fabrics—this season, cashmere, black lace, and silvered materials. The assured character of their strong, peaked shoulders and attenuated, narrow lines qualifies them as designers who are ready to step out of the margins into a more sophisticated arena.

January 26, 2007 – It's a law of fashion, as well as nature, that where a vacuum exists, something must rush in to replace it. That's one reason why a growing number of enterprising newcomers are recolonizing the increasingly depleted haute couture schedule. Anne Valérie Hash was the first to spot the opportunity five years ago, and now she's been joined by London's Boudicca (who've relocated their show from New York) and Belgium's Cathy Pill. All three believe that they have a better chance of being seen by press and buyers in a relaxed week than they do during the overcrowded Paris ready-to-wear shows. And besides that—they were invited by the Paris Chambre Syndicale organization, which is consciously competing to bring young designers to the City of Light.
