PIPpy L.’s mid-week web round-up

Does anyone even use the word Fashionista anymore? The folks at Style.com don’t think so and are more interested in the new breed of fashion devotee: The recessionista. You know the kind of gal who loves her designer labels—that is, as long as they’re from Target, H&M or Kohl’s. (Hey, ain’t no shame in it.)

Black is the new black. Italian Vogue proves it with a new issue that features all black models. Read more at The New York Times.

The soon to open stateside Topshop goes punk/goth. See some of the fashions including shiny black coats, lacey dresses and plaid everything at Fashionista.com or the Topshop site.

Nostalgic for early 90’s fashion? The button-fly jeans, the MC Hammer pants… me neither! But if you’ve got some time at work to kill, check out this amusing video of a 1992-inspired party at NYC club Lotus, at Papermag.
