70's are Back! Michael Kors, a favorite of socialites and starlets alike, is having quite a year. Not only is the designer a judge for the successful Project Runway reality show, but his last fall collection is arguably his best yet. Here, he seeked inspiration from the '70s classic Love Story— rugby stripes, tailored blazers, argyle, and sweater vests were in abundance; all exuding a cool vintage prep school vibe.

Silvermobiles To create more dynamic looking automobiles, manufacturers are using increasing amounts of special effect pigments.Colors that are clear and brilliant but never brash convey a positive feeling. Glamour is the keyword of the coming season; the aim being to create an unusual and, above all, high-quality range of colors. The silver/blue/teal/green theme is an impressive example of rediscovered pleasures. The strength of cool color combinations provides a refreshing touch. Clear, expressive medium shades are more popular than ever.

Turquoise is the New Black Luscious turquoise is showing up everywhere! These trainers from Adidas are part of Stella McCartney's collection for the sportswear company.
