RIP Daul Kim: The Best Editorial Moments of The Young Model's Career

By The Staff

Twenty-year-old model, photographer, and artist Daul Kim is a personality we could never get enough of. Her audacious style and graceful stare have always stopped us in our tracks—but the tragic news of her untimely death has us frozen. Daul's enigmatic face appeared in editorials the world over, and her sublime demeanor always shone alive on each page. She surrounded herself in creative endeavors and spoke out in favor of personal expression, putting fans in their place when they criticized her for nude photo shoots, and celebrating and castigating the industry and its culture on her personal blog. As the last post on her blog overflows with respects from all who love her, we look at some of the best editorial moments of Daul Kim's career. RIP, Daul. You will be missed.

Party On! It's a Boy's Club at Our Menswear Shopping Party For Save Fashion

By Connie Wang

At last night's Save Fashion men's shopping event hosted by Thrillist, we saw to it that the lads got as much love as we ladies do. Fueled on Amstel Light and Chairman's Reserve rum, guys grabbed as much Band of Outsiders, Steven Alan, Rogan, Rick Owens Slab (and more!) as their credit cards could handle. Didn't make it? Our sale runs until this Sunday, so make sure to stop by Inven.tory at 237 Lafayette between 10 am and 9 pm to get your shop on!

Twitter Troll: Heaven on Earth, Pringles vs. Thighs, and RIP Daul Kim

By Connie Wang

MissDK: "Behati and me backstage with our baby. There is a puppy here for pink but will go back to it's mommy soon I hope;) http://pic.gd/26b279" We don't know which of the three is cutest.

cutblog: "Very sad news today: 20-year-old model Daul Kim is dead. She will be missed. http://bit.ly/50Gbh" We're heartbroken at R29 and will forever miss Daul's grace, infectious laughter, and wide-eyed observations. RIP Daul.

themoment: "Barbershops are the new salons. There, we said it. http://bit.ly/2ZvfiP" But what about the un-bearded set?

JakandJilBlog: "backstage at the victoria's secret show and there's no other place i'd rather be :D" *Cue rainbow sparkle jingling music*

Grazia_Live: "Pringles definitely taste as good as skinny feels. In fact, the blue ones taste MUCH better than skinny feels." The same exact thought crossed our minds this morning as we were chomping on French macaroons. Kate Moss? Suck it.

How High? The Most Stylish Marijuana Moments On the Catwalk and In Stores

By Laura Yacoe

Let's be honest. Dreaming up new designs each season sometimes warrants a stroke of inspiration, so it shouldn't be surprising that the mean, green bud's been popping up in places outside of the inner pocket of your Alex Wang clutch. We took note of the pot-leaf motif dancing down Sonia Rykiel and Gerlan Jeans' runways and popping up in the kaleidoscopic funhouse of Lucien Pellat Finet. We've hashed out some buys so you can get your own cannabis prints and herbal sprays, which are all a helluva lot chicer than those hemp ponchos. It seems like Mary J's quickly becoming the new It Girl with these kush-inspired offerings to light up your day.

We Bust a Move in TomTom's Spring 2010 Jewelry Collection

By Laura Yacoe

We know a thing or two about our what we like draped around around us for a night on the town: Our good friends, a hot dance partner, and pretty baubles of the likes of TomTom Jewelry's spring 2010 collection aptly titled "Shape Shape It Up." The geometric shapes, gems, and flashy metallic ornaments are named after some of our favorite songs to shake it to—notably, we're mad for the fierce Spin Right Round earrings and Parallel Lines bracelet chain bracelet. And with pieces hovering around $100, they're great statement pieces that won't cost you your drinks-with-that-dance allowance for the month.
