Guess who we caught up with backstage at Edun? That’s right — husband of label mastermind Ali Hewson — aka Bono.

Edun’s Ali Hewson & husband Bono

Though he swerved modest when describing his personal style (“I’d say… low”), and offered that he knows nothing about fashion (“I feel like an intruder here [at Fashion Week].”), well… we say the iconic singer proved to know quite a bit, starting with this take on Ali — “She knows what she’s talking about.” We agree. We also agree with Bono’s bon mots on the topics of fashion:

ON THE FASHION INDUSTRY & PREPARATION BEHIND EDUN’S FALL 2013 LINE:
“… Fashion… wow. … it’s really tough. You gotta really believe in what you’re doing.”

“You have to be fearless. And you have to go for something new. And if you go for something new, then people may not get it.”

ON WIFE ALI HEWSON’S INTERPRETATION OF EVOLVING TRENDS:
“… You have this sort of pseudo-glamour thing going … And then you have the reaction to that … this sort of grunge-y, anti-glamour school … and she’s found some kind of hybrid … it looks very fresh to me.”

ON MUSIC & FASHION… AND HIS ROLE IN IT:
“There’s always been a relationship, even if it’s an anti-fashion stance.”

“What do I know? I had a mullet, you know what I mean?”

That mullet in the 80s? Forgiven.

Our first Fashion Week swoon? The soft-yet-edgy “hip gypsy” vibe at BCBG! For his Fall 2013 collection, Max Azria played with up to five different colors and textures at a time to pull off his flirty-sophisto layered boho looks. And, ooooh, heads up — turns out the slouchy knit hat is seeex-ay! Go for a fresh face and highlighted cheekbones to play up the face-framing toppers perfectly!

Our front-row friends at LifeMinute shared the scoop:

Yesterday the stars were in full va-va-voom effect for the The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection 2013 Fashion Show at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom.

Good cause, smokin’ fashion… We sooo heart it! Visit The Heart Truth to learn more, and check out these lovely ladies in red:

John Varvatos launched his Spring 2013 campaign on Tuesday, and it’s another musician-meets-fashion mash-up to be reckoned with! Known for his collaborations with major music scenesters, this time rock’n’roll’s favorite designer paired Led Zeppelin legend Jimmy Page with next-generation axe-master Gary Clark Jr. in a series of stately black and white portraits dripping with serious cool and elegance.

Photographer Danny Clinch shot the decked-out duo at the historical 1950‘s art deco venue Rivoli Ballroom in South London. And from the looks of it, Varvatos continues to prove he’s the authority on How to Dress a Rock Icons:

They’ve been coming down the catwalk this year… We’re talkin’ this season’s must-have accessory… We’re talkin’ belts!

Stars and stylistas alike are stopping in to match leather to buckle. And with over 100 strap options (colored, printed, patterned and textured!) and a 500-strong wall of buckles (categorized in trend-friendly language: Edgy, Hand-Crafted, Classic…), chances are you’ll be able to walk out with whatever you had in mind around your waist.

Materials are on-hand to re-create your own take on Dior’s metallics, Oscar de la Renta’s ornate fasteners, or Derek Lam’s skinny essential. Have your eye on Victoria Beckham’s wraparound number? Just have your Badichi’s leather expert leave more length and viola — insta-style!

Award season is on, lovelies! It’s that time of year when we look to the red carpet for a one-stop lesson in all things trending, and the Golden Globes did not disappoint! We’ve got the lowdown on the go-to gowns and glorious glows our fave stars rocked. First up? The fashion.

With endless cuts and styles, one color had a standout night: ravishing red. Jennifer Lawrence, Claire Danes, Marion Cotillard (the list goes on…) all made major statements in the bold hue.

Zooey Deschanel went strapless in Oscar de la Renta

Another favored shade? White. And there was nothing basic about it. We’re talking sparkle and flash! Heidi Klum and Hayden Panettiere are two shining examples of how embellishments can jazz up winter whites in a major way.

Heidi shimmered in a one-sleeved Alexandre Vauthier

Hayden opted for a beaded Roberto Cavalli

Next, the skinny on the skin! Old Hollywood glamour made a comeback — natural tones, understated make-up and flowing side-sweeps all nodded to an updated yesteryear, as did the exception to the minimalist rule — those pouts a’poppin’ in deep wine and coral red stains (think va-va-voom, not vampy.) And everyone went for the glow — we saw healthy shines all over, from cheekbones to wavy locks, right down to the stems!

J-Lo got the side wave ‘n glow down

Jessica Alba worked some major lip

Wanna get it going on, no statue required? Our friends at LifeMinute.tv sat down with Fashion and Beauty expert Stacey Cox for some DIY tips on how you too can glam it up Globes-style. We got a look at two ready-to-wear gowns we swear we saw right on the carpet, both available at David’s Bridal! And how about these for prep-time pro-tips: Wash with super-gentle Cetaphil® for a no residue, all radiant finish. And if you draw attention with a dark lip, make sure those pearly whites are gleaming — Crest 3D Whitestrips do the trick in just 2 hours! Find both at your local drugstore.

While on the set of his new movie “You’re Not You” which is shooting in L.A., Josh Duhamel popped out of his trailer in a So Cal tee…showing off  his California pride. He also just celebrated his 40th birthday…doesn’t look a day over 30!

This man could be wearing a garbage bag and he would still look HOT! And how cute is he walking around in his socks. Wish I was that pigeon in front of him, HA!

This shirt definitely does him good though….great color and fit.  The Champions Moto ‘Dragstrip’ tee retails for $54.00 and is sold at Troy Lee, Ron Robinson, Gary’s Newport Beach, and Stade.co.

Here are some of our faves of the night.

We saw neon on the runways, we are seeing it on all the major celebs and all over the streets, so how can you rock this fabulous trend?

Bold hues are a must-have, that is for sure. Try an electric yellow clutch for just a pop of color, or throw on a tailored neon blazer for a more sophisticated look.

Of course, it’s all about accessories, jewelry is a great way to incorporate this trend into your rotation. Try a shocking pink, statement necklace- pair it with a casual white t-shirt and jeans… and your outfit is instantly transformed.
