📰 Rachel Antonoff and Susan Alexandra Host Their Second Annual "Best in Show" NYFW Event

✨ Fashion Insights & Trends:

For the second year in a row, Rachel Antonoff and Susan Alexandra joined forces to bring a little (and by that, I mean a lot) of joy to New York Fashion Week with their collaborative "Best in Show" event — a runway show meets rescue dog adoption.

"We love dogs, and there's a lot of dogs that need loving homes," says Susan Korn, designer and founder of Susan Alexandra. "That's just one of the many privileges of doing this show."

The duo partnered once again with Animal Haven, a New York-based nonprofit shelter for abandoned pets, to partner up their celebrity models with furry friends in need of loving homes. Dylan O'Brien notably walked a one-year-old named Marble while sporting a red knit by Antonoff and a beaded bag in the shape of a dachshund by Korn.

"We did a lot of dog-inspired pieces, so there's a lot of dog-shaped bags that happen to work with a lot of the dogs [in the show]," says Korn. "We also did a lot of new leashes and a lot of jewelry, but there's a lot of dogs on the mind."

Although Antonoff is just as focused on the hounds (her own pup Lafitte walked the finale with her), most of the patterns on the clothing were of other animals that could be interpreted as canines.

"We have a lot of bunnies this year, but so many dogs are bunny-adjacent, so it works," she explained.

Other stars on the runway included Edie Falco (matched with an adorable rat terrier), Christina Hendricks (accompanied by Gidget, a miniature poodle mix) and Minnie Mills (with a collie mix named Prada). To learn more about the adoptable dogs, head to animalhaven.org.

"This is going to be annual," says Antonoff. "The opportunity to get more dogs adopted and bring more awareness to Animal Haven is such a joy."

For so many who pursue a career in design, it's the memories of watching glamorously decorated films and television shows and ornate stagings of theatrical productions that serve as their initial motivations to enter the fashion industry. While some might be inspired to create their own fashion labels, others experience a different calling. That is, to costume design. Linda Muir, the Oscar-nominated costume designer for her work on Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu," explains that the skillsets required for each career path differ. "If a person goes to fashion school, they will likely learn skills that are more geared toward creating clothing for people to go into a store and buy," she tells Fashionista. "So often, I meet people who would like to work in a film costume department, but they don't necessarily know how to do the things that, if on a period film, for instance, we would need them to do." Whether it's a period piece or contemporary, ev...

I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah – Latest Fashion Trends & Style Tips March 28, 2025 at 08:30PM

📰 I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Editors' Picks are the Fashionista team's true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all. As it did for most early-2000s babies, Polly Pocket reigned supreme as my childhood toy of choice. Of course, my Barbie and Littlest Pet Shop collections were close contenders (and later my Monster High queens), but I cherished Polly Pocket's heart-shaped compact dollhouses with their teeny-tiny figures. Polly Pocket underwent a major makeover in the late '90s, transforming her from the cutest potential choking hazard to a slightly larger ponytailed doll with candy-colored rubber (read: chewable) clothing. It was this revamped Polly's Y2K-inspired style that influenced my own fashion sense, and now Lisa Says Gah is bringing the toy's nostalgic aesthetic to life as the California-based multi-brand retailer teamed up with Polly Pocke...

Lilis Instant Peel, $92, available here Photo: Courtesy of Lilis Editors' Picks are the Fashionista team's true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all. Any beauty product you see here has been vetted and tested by the editor recommending it. As we approach the official start to spring and take time to tidy up, refresh and generally reset so many aspects of our lives, I ask you: Why neglect the skin? If you're at all like me, even though you spent the winter months moisturizing dutifully, your dull, scaly arms and legs are begging for a little extra attention. Enter:  Lilis Instant Peel , the most satisfying body exfoliator I've ever tried. I first heard about Lilis — a body-care brand inspired by "Korean skin-care innovation and spa culture" — from beloved NYC facialist  Elizabeth Grace Hand, who sung its praises in a holiday gift guide we did last year . "Nothing makes the skin quite as soft as thi...
