Solar Panel Bags, Jackets That Hold Laptops, Drone Mannequins, & More from Silicon Valley Fashion Week
Photography by Eli Zaturankski As someone who returned to San Francisco after years of covering fashion weeks around the world for Vogue, I was intrigued when my editor came calling with the request to report on Silicon Valley Fashion Week. First of all, it’s not really a week at all (more like three days), but what could we possibly expect to see? And what was the impetus behind creating said fashions? Read on to find out how it all went down on day one. “[Burning Man] was the entry and inspiration for me to get into fashion. $265 & up -- All-Incl. “It was one of those, ‘Why the hell not things’,” Lindland said. Held at The Chapel, a music venue in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, the event drew sponsors including custom manufacturer PCH and retail app Shimmer and has been sold out for weeks.

Lupita Nyong’o Loves a Flowy Dress Moment Lupita Nyong’o has only been a staple on step-and-repeats for a couple of short years, but the actress brings endless charm to what could be a dull and repetitive gig. Her fashions are always interesting, from her red Ralph Lauren cape moment to that pirate-inspired Prada ensemble she wore to the 2014 Met Ball. But it’s her seemingly favorite silhouette, a deep V-neck dress with full pleated skirt, that’s pure magic. Every time she’s worn this similarly cut kind of dress, she’s twirled and whirled the flimsy fabric to the delight of photographers and the Internet’s enthusiastic meme makers alike. For her Oscars debut, the Best Supporting Actress winner wore a custom light blue silk Prada gown that reminded her of Nairobi. 10% on auto insurance Desjardins Insurance Sponsored A year later, she wore a striped Elie Saab dress to the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards. Will we ever get sick of seeing the actress charismatically twist and turn?

Jennifer Lawrence is the New Face of Dior Beauty Photo Courtesy of Dior Jennifer Lawrence is already one of Dior’s best brand ambassadors. She’s been serving in the role since 2012 and her responsibilities have included appearing in their handbag campaign and strictly wearing the iconic French label on the red carpet. But now, the Hunger Games actress is adding the brand’s cosmetics collection to her already won-Dior-ful resumé. In the first official photos from the campaign, Lawrence’s hair is pulled back — which showcases her porcelain skin, and bold brows — and she has on subtle brown eye shadow, and a light pink lips (one of the 44 new shades in Dior’s new lipstick collection, which is set to relaunch on September 1). The very feminine and simple face is juxtaposed with not only her black leather and floral top, but the attitude she’s giving off her pouty lips and sharp stare as well.

Kendall Jenner Wore a Confederate Flag Muscle Tee Photo: AKM-GSI Kendall Jenner has made some regrettable fashion choices in the past. She describes the outfit at the top of that list as “green denim pants, [a] full neon green” ensemble. But as her modeling career’s taken off, so has her style. Sort of. The 19-year-old slipped up this weekend. Lynyrd Skynyrd, the band on Jenner’s T-shirt, long used the Confederate flag, or the “Dixie” flag, as part of their logo. No annual fees with the Visa Cash Back card Jenner’s affiliation with the band and therefore the Confederate flag and therefore racism is most likely unintentional — Kanye West is her brother-in-law, her sister Khloe Kardashian is dating French Montana, and Kylie Jenner is going out with Tyga — but still boneheaded. Funny enough, her half-sister’s husband, West, has had some issues with the Southern cross in the past. Perhaps Jenner should have learned her lesson from the rapper’s past mistake: associating oneself with slavery is never good for one’s image.

Kerry Washington, Kristen Stewart & Lady Gaga Are All Fans of This New—Affordable–Red Carpet Brand Maisie Wiliams (Arya Stark on Game of Thrones) was the first to wear Self-Portrait on a major red carpet. I noticed because she looked fresh, I'd never seen the dress before, and it took me longer than usual to track down the designer. That was in January, at the SAG Awards. "I didn't set out to purposely fill a void in the market place," Han Chong, the creative director, tells Yahoo Style. $569 & up -- London Weeklong Summer Trip w/Air The Central St. From ASOS to Net-a-porter, it doesn't look like anyone can keep Self-Portrait in stock—and that's just the way Chong wants it: "Beauty shouldn't be just for the privileged few."
