Runway Italian Luxury Getaways

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:39:00 +0000

Trendy fashions, fancy sports cars, diverse regional cultures and delicious cuisine have made Italy a favorite travel destination unlike any other, one that has been enchanting millions of visitors for centuries. From Florence to Rome to the Isle of Capri, gorgeous coasts, pristine lakes and majestic mountains create an artistic landscape where contemporary luxury and historic greatness are combined. No wonder Italy is often referred to as the Bel Paese—“beautiful country.”

Florence Florence is a lovely city full of world-class designers like Gucci and Ferragamo, as well as glorious art, such as the not-to-be-missed statue of David by Michelangelo. While the old-world charm dating back to the days of the Medicis remains, Florence oozes style, both past and present. A stay at one of the properties within the Lugarno Collection offers diverse boutique or luxury hotel accommodations. Owned by the Ferragamo family, the Florentine properties include Hotel Lungarno, Continentale Hotel, Gallery Hotel Art and Lungarno Suites, many of which are dotted along the Arno River. Located in the Palazzo Spini Feroni, the Salvatore Ferragamo

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 01:09:00 +0000

Do you find yourself mindlessly doodling dresses in the margins of your paper? Perhaps your closet is color-coordinated from lights to darks, with sleeve and pant lengths classified?

Kirsten Storms - Days of Our Lives

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:37:00 +0000

Kirsten Storms has been acting since the age of 5. From starring in commercials to playing the lead character in Disney Channel’s original movie Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, its two sequels and many other Disney offerings—to one of her most notable roles, Isabella “Belle” Black on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives— Storms has transitioned from child actor to grown-up star, working consistently for 22 years.

Runway caught up with Storms on the set of the popular ABC soap opera General Hospital, where she portrays the mischievous Maxie-a role that garnered her an Emmy nomination in 2009. The busy soap star took time out of her hectic filming schedule to chat with us during her lunch break about her new E! reality show and many other things. Runway: You do a wonderful job portraying Maxie on General Hospital. Are there any similarities between you and your character? Kirsten Storms: Yeah, there are a few. I'm not going to try to claim too many similarities between Maxie and me

Caity Lotz from MTV's Death Valley

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:00:00 +0000

A fresh young face in Hollywood, actress Caity Lotz is currently playing a zombie-crushing member of the Undead Task Force in the original MTV series Death Valley. This fall you can watch her character, Kirsten Landry, and her LAPD partners scour the lands of a society filled with the “undead” in the name of extermination. Lotz has said about her role: “She might seem sweet and innocent, but she kicks major ass!” In addition to martial arts and TV, Lotz has enjoyed success in film, theatre, singing and dancing. You may remember her from Mad Men, Bring It On: All or Nothing or when she sang with the all-girl group SOCCX. The multi-talented performer took some time out of her creature-fighting schedule to chat with Runway.

Runway: What initially attracted you to the role of Kirsten on Death Valley? Caity Lotz: I liked that it would be an opportunity for me to use my martial arts training along with my acting, and the producers said they'd let me do my own stunts. I also grew up watching MTV and was excited to be a part of their scripted movement. R: We know you already had an interest in martial arts and stunts before you joined the show, but were you interested in horror or science fiction as well? CL: Science fiction, yes. Horror, no. I don't like being scared

Anna Trebunskaya - Dancing With the Stars

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 04:06:00 +0000

When it comes to politics, the United States and Russia may not get along so well. When it comes decadent fashion designers such as Yudashkin and Alex Katasonov, cultural differences are accepted. But when fashion, beauty and talent are combined into a hot import like Anna Trebunskaya, everyone wins.

Born in 1980 during a frigid Russian winter, Trebunskaya started dancing when she was just six years old, winning her first title at the age of seven-very fitting, since her parents owned a dance studio. At the age of 17, she moved to the U.S., bringing her knowledge and passion for dance, various cultures and fashion. Now, nearly 15 years later, Trebunskaya is known as a Russian professional ballroom and Latin dancer, as well as a teacher. She works out six days a week doing Pilates, ballet and yoga, and has made

A Tale of Three Cities

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 17:40:00 +0000

There once was a time when a fashion insider would attend the various Fashion Week shows in Paris, Milan or New York City to develop forecasts of the next trends to sweep the world. But a true style connoisseur can simply step outside into any neighborhood and discover a full-on “runway show” chock full of effortless tastemakers and trend disciples. To that end, Runway presents three rising fashionable cities: Sydney, Berlin and Barcelona. Intense wanderlust behooves us to conquer all three of these empires!

Sunny, Sexy Sydney Sydney, the trendsetting coastal city of Australia, is the gem of the Pacific Ocean and home to Australia Fashion Week. This enchanting city is so much more than the clichés of kangaroos, surfers and safari adventures—and it’s teeming with femme fatales in fashions that exude day-to-night flexibility mixed with explosions of bold color. Rompers are cool for daytime playtime, while vixen styles in the form of slinky dresses are seen in nightlife. “Sydney style is synonymous with a relaxed and easy feel,” says the ready-to-wear founder and designer of Talulah, Kelli Wharton. “Sydneysiders are not afraid to

The Most Influential Women of 2011

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 04:20:00 +0000

Throughout history there have been women whose courage, tenacity and vision have significantly improved the world around them. Their achievements remind us that beauty is as much an inner quality as an outer one.

In selecting our list of the most influential women of 2011, we looked for women whose lives and work have had a major impact on American society. The group we chose demonstrates the wide range of women's influence in government, business and popular culture. These remarkable ladies are role models who inspire every woman to live with conviction and purpose. The Justices For most of our nation's history, the Supreme Court was occupied exclusively by men. It wasn't until 1981 that Sandra Day O'Connor broke through the glass ceiling to become the first woman to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. In

Rock & Roll Fashion with ERA 9

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:46:00 +0000

Montreal based rock band ERA 9 is making quite the noise for their genre bending antics, hard-charging rhythms and captivating live performances. In May, the band released their self-titled debut album to a sold-out crowd at Plaza Theater. Not to mention, their first single and music video off the album "Goodnight" generated positive reviews from a steadily growing fan-base. Now with their second music video “Calling Out” on the rise, having already been featured on Musique Plus, ERA 9 is considered one of the breakout bands of the year. We sat down with the Canadian show-stoppers to discuss their self-titled

With the title role in Jesse Eisenberg's Off Broadway play, "Asuncion," (we saw some great reviews on her!) and a comedic role in the indie flick "Norman,' Mana's been making huge waves in the industry. Mana stopped in between acts to chat with Runway... and we're so glad, check it out!

Brittany Curran

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 22:26:00 +0000

Every day, millions of little girls dream of being a Disney princess. Maybe all they need to do is write to Cinderella and ask! That’s what Boston-born Brittany Curran did as a child on a family vacation to Disney World—she handed Cinderella a letter asking to be the lead in a Disney movie, along with her contact information.

At 11 years old Brittany was "discovered" and began booking roles on MADtv and Power Rangers Wild Force and in numerous commercials, including one for Chevrolet opposite Olympic skater Michelle Kwan. And in 2005, her wishes written to Cinderella came true when she booked one of the leading roles in the Disney Channel Original Movie Go Figure, which led to being named one of the "Top Five Faces to Watch" by The Kidzworld Girls in 2007. She is currently playing Lucy on the TNT series Men of a Certain Age. The 5'6" Brittany, now 21 years old, dishes on her favorite

Mon, 03 Oct 2011 23:44:00 +0000

From working daily in her salon to battling it out on the main stage with celebrity judges, this year has been a whirlwind for Hair Battle Spectacular, frontrunner, Ashley Stone. She brought her talents in hair and beauty into the national limelight, this summer, as she became one of the eleven contestants chosen to compete for the $100,000 grand prize on Oxygen’s second season of Hair Battle Spectacular and now, the finale airs tonight, Monday, October 3rd at 10PM.

Sam Witwer from Being Human

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 04:12:00 +0000

For a guy who deals with supernatural elements daily, is a major Star Wars video game character and plays musical gigs with people like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Glenn Howerton (aka Dennis), you’d think Sam Witwer would be a little more eclectic when it comes to fashion.

But the 33-year-old says his personal style is pretty much limited to a T-shirt and jeans. His go-to outfit? T-shirt and jeans. And his fashion icon? Why, Jeans and T-Shirt Man, of course. After all, the 6'1" actor/musician already exemplifies the classic tousled yet stylish persona. Sam is probably most recognizable from his current role as Aidan on the supernatural drama Being Human on SyFy Channel, but he has also worked on such shows as Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Dexter. He's also recognized for lending his voice to a video game protagonist, and is the lead

Trend Review - ’70s Sizzle

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 05:43:00 +0000

Fashion experts say that trends run in cycles. This is definitely the case for Spring/Summer 2011, with designers from all over the world incorporating style elements from the 1970s into their collections. This summer, look for these key pieces to create an updated, fresh take on ’70s sizzle.

Maxi Skirts Loose and flowing maxi skirts were one of the hottest trends of the 1970s. They were worn with simple leather sandals, chunky clogs or platform shoes. Anna Sui has tapped into this look with ethnic-print maxis worn with handmade crochet sweaters. Marc Jacobs sent models down the runway in maxi cotton skirts and dresses in bright solid colors and geometric prints that recall 1970s graphic art. Jacobs paired maxi skirts with loose peasant blouses, another important item from the '70s that has been reinvented for 2011. Elastic necklines allow the peasant blouse to be worn either on or
