In the age of Gwendolen Fairfax and Edith Wharton's House of Mirth, people traveled with entire wardrobes. Now, we travel with carry-ons — and in the increasingly nomadic lifestyle of the college student, nothing says more than what you take along the way.

While back home in New York earlier this fall at a Thanksgiving brunch (incidentally at our own Yale/Dartmouth Club), I was pleasantly surprised to be seated next to Alexa Meyer—former head designer at Zac Posen where I fondly remember working during summer 2008. I immediately recognized Alexa as the flushed and airy presence that used to come through Zac’s Tribeca studio—bringing a sweet, unpretentious positivity and a fierce sense of fabric with her that always made me look up.

Contemporary designers have prioritized aesthetic over utility; and synthetic materials such as polyester, polyamide, and polyurethane have pervaded, and tarnished collections once glorified for their use of natural materials such as cotton, silk, and leather. But Nigel Cabourn has proved otherwise. Check out his work, sold exclusively in the United States at Rosey Jekes in Hanover, New Hampshire.

Behold Fall!
Fall Fashion Week is all about the materials- materials that highlight, rather than draw attention away from the refined and well executed craft of the designers.

Roberto Capucci is an example of a designer who challenges the border between fashion and fine art.
The first exhibition of his work in the United States begins on March 16th, 2011 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, featuring over 80 different works. Pieces range from his original sketches to his famous sculpture-dresses. Along with nature, his work is highly praised for its architectural style, such as in his "Arancia" (orange) because of his use of cuts, line, fold, and construction. The exhibit includes his piece based on classical Doric architectural columns, his "Colonna" silhouette.

Having dropped their album "Senior" this past September, Norwegian electronic duo Royksopp is readying itself for its North American March tour. While their music is mesmerizing, riveting and complex, I find their videos equally as challenging in their experimentation and tantalizing balance of the ideal and the horrific. Check out my faves after the jump, but first creep yourself out by this "Adventures in Barbieland" clip.

The unique combination of horror and artistry are what prevent David Lynch's television series "Twin Peaks" from ever losing its inspiring and dynamic style. It forged its own genre, captivating and terrifying audiences twenty years ago. And it's still thriving in all forms of art as it celebrates its anniversary. View some commemorative works after the jump.

Ari Marcopoulos's "No Way Back" for Yves Saint Laurent combines the beauty of fashion with a sense of balanced escape and cynicism that gives just enough intrigue to avoid pretention.
