"The super era is long gone, but 2013 saw a group of models become social-media sensations. With hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers and diehards outside the shows who ll do just about anything to get a selfie with them, these girls rival even Hollywood celebrities for fans. It certainly didn t hurt Joan, Jourdan, or Chanel s profile when Beyoncé cast them in her newly released video for "Yoncé." They ll have an even more commanding presence on the catwalks come fashion week in February."

"It s funny how the most coveted item of 2013 was an accessory to an accessory. The Fendi fur monster charm was seen dangling off the straps of many, many handbags this year, and the momentum will continue into 2014, with men adopting fur monsters, too."

"Hedi Slimane s fall ’13 grunge-inspired collection for Saint Laurent proved more influential than critics predicted. Ripped jeans, waist-tied plaid shirts, combat boots, overalls, and bomber jackets became style essentials across the globe this year."
