Fall 2009 New York

No Peter Som Show at Fashion Week

Elana Posner, President and CEO of Peter Som Inc, says they’d already planned on reducing the size of the collection anyway, meaning the show [...]

Dreaming of Dior

We interrupt this cold and snowy day to bring you something that, depending on your mood, will make you smile or make you cry. If you’re having a good day and there’s a trip to Paris with bicycles and macaroons in your near future, Sofia Coppola’s commercial will make you want to skip down the [...]

“Is That Red 90210 Red?”

Apparently, 90210 is the zip that keeps on giving. Because believe it or not, there’s not one, not two, but four separate nail polishes dedicated to the city of ostentatious wealth. Kind of ironic in these times of financial strife, no? OPI’s three-piece 90210 collection is based, unfortunately, on the new craptastic CW show. Props [...]

Style Signals: Everywhere?

Even though we know it’s unfair, even though we sat through all the same stereotype seminars in high school as you did, even though we’re technically mature adults who understand that what people wear doesn’t necessarily dictate or indicate what a person’s like, we’ll admit it: We see signals in people’s style all the time [...]

And Another One Gone…

Obedient Sons and Daughters are no longer. The line, designed by husband and wife team Swaim and Christina Hutson, turned out to have a not so stable financial backer in the form of Green Day’s bassist. So despite their critical acclaim, a combination of downtown plus starlet loyalty, and last year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund nomination, [...]
