When you walk into Confederacy -- a Los Angeles boutique owned by Ilaria Urbinati, Danny Masterson, and Aly Mawji -- you instantly feel inspired. Whether it’s the quality selection of designer clothing, accessories, and beauty products, the rotating display of artwork and photography, or lively in-store events, the space hosts an endless amount of creativity. The charming Ilaria, a celebrity stylist and former buyer for LA boutiques Satine and Milk, fills me in on her style influences and why every visit to Confederacy is truly a unique experience.

Female supermodels aren’t the only ones returning to the fashion spotlight this season. While the likes of Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Stephanie Seymour, Iman, and Claudia Schiffer have been making a comeback in both fashion editorials and advertising this season, male models who celebrated their heyday in the 90s are proving this spring in fact marks the invasion of the supermodel.

Ever since he left Dior Homme last year, there's been much speculation regarding Hedi Slimane’s potential next move. Some hoped he’d helm a women’s line, but it seems Slimane will be taking a slightly different route along his sartorial journey: photography. Vogue UK reports that Art + Commerce -- arguably the most powerful photography agency in existence -- has signed Slimane to its roster.

Hedi Slimane created Dior Homme. Lest we forget, however, he is also an artist. (And a pretty good one at that. Check out the album covers he created for Phoenix and the Libertines.) Next month, he'll unveil his 765th show this year, "Musac," in León, a collection of photos that examines musicians and the cult of rock celebrity. Accompanying the show is a book, Rock Diary. C'est vraiment rock!
