Southern beats aren’t just all banjos and harmonicas, though the brothers of NEEDTOBREATHE do play mean ones. Hailing from Seneca, South Carolina, the rock band comprised of Bear Rinehart (vocals, guitar, piano ), Bo Rinehart (vocals, guitar), and childhood friends Seth Bolt (backing vocals, bass) and Joe Stillwell (drums) is taking the world by storm—if not by their Southern charm, then by touring with Taylor Swift and their soon-to-be-released fourth record, The Reckoning, out September 20th. We had the pleasure of speaking with the Rinehart gentlemen about their “incredibly country” childhood, learning from Elvis, and the struggle to find manly guy’s jewelry. If their Southern accents don’t hook you, their music will.

There are a handful of fashion photographers who dominate the campaigns seasons after season: Mert & Marcus, Steven Meisel, Mario Testino—one hears the same names over and over, and for good reason. But this season, Tim Walker’s joining the club. Valentino‘s hired the British photographer, known for his extravagant, fairy-tale like images, to shoot their RED campaign for fall. Walker shot Polish model Daga Ziober at Copped Hall, a mansion just outside of London. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli told WWD that “the carefree, highly poetic universe perfectly represents the values of the brand.”

We’ve seen some pretty crazy runway shows: Chanel did icebergs, Band of Outsiders had models repel from the ceiling, Louis Vuitton built elevators inside a tent in the Louvre’s courtyard, but we never imagined we’d see a runway show on a cake. It’s not that fashion and cake don’t mix (see Burberry this season, Isaac Mizrahi last), it’s just that models have it hard enough without adding frosting to the mix. But on Thursday Daffy’s is staging a runway show on a 10 foot tall cake made by Vincent Buzzetta, the star of Staten Island Cakes. It’ll be held in Greeley Square Park—apparently, there is a park in Herald Square?—to celebrate its 40th birthday. Guests will get cake (duh!) as well as a discount. Starts at 5PM!

If you’re like us, you’ve already rid your grandmother’s closet of its vintage gems. You’ve taken scarves, bags, skirts and maybe even blouses, but avoided that padded wall of Easy-Spirit shoes. But now, according to the London shows we’ve seen so far, that closet holds another trendy stockpile of accessories. Footwear for the AARP set is now equally fit for the fashionable jet set and have topped off sharp suits and girly dresses all week long. Thomas Tait’s brigade of minimal warriors wore immaculate running shoes while J.W. Anderson worked utility sneakers (with golf shoe accents) into his collection. At ACNEand Fashion East, white nurse clogs were a quirky foil to soft organza skirts and dresses. Aquascutum also offset their flowy fare with some senior flair: a pointed loafer in that inimitable bone suede. Scottish darling Christopher Kane took note from Prada Sport’s popular 90′s styles and paired his tailored femininity with clunky flat sandals.

There’s a new Edie making a name for herself in fashion—this one’s a charming Brit who showed her stuff on runways from Suno and Thakoon. We expect to see Edie Campbell’s face come Paris, but in the meantime we caught up with the new girl to talk Roald Dahl, Jackson Browne and “actively dressing badly.”

The cover of The Drums' latest album.
In 2009, The Drums found success with their breakthrough single “Let’s go surfing” and embarked on a year long tour across the world. This week, the Brooklyn-based band released their second album, Portamento, a musical term used to mean carrying, or moving from one point to another. The title’s supposed to mark their evolution from optimistic teenage dreamers to grown up musicians and the eleven pop songs on the album feature feel-good anthems with beautiful lyrics about lost love and heartache. We sat down for a chat with band member Jacob Graham to discuss the themes and influences behind the new album.

This is what Naomi Campbell’s new home looks like from the sky. Curbed calls it an “eco-palace,” because the place, on Turkey’s Isla Playa de Cleopatra, has solar panels, a green house, a geothermal energy system and “a mechanism that harvests rainwater and treats waste water.” It was built by Luis de Garrido, a Spanish architect known for building sustainable structures. Here’s hoping she throws a party soon so we can get a view of the eyeball’s insides.

A combination once reserved for baby shower party gifts and little girls’ petticoats has gone from dated to relevant thanks from its evolution from pastel to vibrant. The spring runways married all shades of pink with the royal blue shade on both clothes and through accessories. At J.Crew’s first fashion week presentation, the company’s ‘superstylist’ Gayle Spannaus paired a pink pleated dress with a suede cobalt satchel. Luca Luca accessorized a neon magenta frock with blue platform heels. Karen Walker went all out with a dusty pink and deep blue silkscreen plaid underneath a cobalt blazer. Peter Som’s army of photoshopped florals were predominantly blue and often paired with fuschia—like the patent skirt above. Nanette Lepore’s vivid collection included this fringed number with a pink belt, bag and shoes to match. If you’re going to give this a shot at home, remember that “vibrant” is the key word—stay away from pastels!

- Whether they’re soaring through the sky or scaling tall buildings, superheroes satiate our thirst for adventure, special abilities, and mass popularity. We might not have super powers or spend our Friday nights fighting crime, but we understand their need to look the part (awesome) while doing it. Masked, armored, or aerodynamically amped, these caped crusaders have shape-shifted themselves into sartorial icons that have inspired many designers. Take a look at these fact vs. fiction similarities and tell us which is dynamic duo is your favorite!

Looks from Marc Jacobs' spring collection. Photos: Imaxtree
Things that happened at Marc Jacobs’ spring show last night:
1. It started two minutes early, at 8:28PM, and lasted 7 minutes. So when Courtney Love showed up at 8:47PM, there wasn’t a sequin in sight.
2. Only one Fanning sat front row, Dakota, but she was accompanied by Sofia Coppola and Kim Gordon. Also, Michael Pitt crawled up to the top of the stands to watch his girlfriend, Jamie Bochert, walk the show.
3. When the show did start, a thick gold curtain slowly opened to reveal the models draped across seats a la A Chorus Line. Like last spring’s show, all the looks were immediately revealed.
4. Marc sat behind his girls, to the left, and counted out the beat as they rose one by one to walk the wooden runway.
5. Each model walked just once, with no finale. There were beaded dresses, plastic wrapped skirts, thigh high stockings, silver jackets, seafoam green sweatshirts and ladylike suits. Metallic Mary Janes were cute, though the bags weren’t the best we’ve seen from Marc.
6. Marc Jacobs took a bow in what looked like Hard Tail pants.
7. The Dior gossip immediately commenced. Jacobs’ collection was elegant, detailed and, despite the dance-hall stage, sometimes French.
Next stop, couture?
