Fashion Is Fun

Think Globally

Ever heard of Arnhem? It’s a perfect summer vacation destination for the fash-obsessed this year. The Dutch city is hosting The Arnhem Mode Biennale. It’s their third one, but it’s bigger and better this year and from the photos we’re betting that it’s going to be very exciting, with big brands such as Viktor & [...]

Birks: Yay or Nay?

Many of you may have gathered at this point (from some of my references), that I am a little hippie girl wrapped up in a fashion bow. I spent my teenage summers in Grateful Dead parking lots and twirling at the shows to a little Scarlet Fire or Franklin’s Tower. Birkenstocks were, of course, a [...]

Vera’s Gonna Dance

Vera Wang’s going to be on Dancing With the Stars, continuing television’s obsession with all things fashion. The former figure skater will be sixty when the season starts next September. She’s signed on for the waltz and the foxtrot. We’ve never actually seen the show so our first thought was, “Wow, can’t believe she’s doing [...]

Stella Falls Into the Gap

Gap is making kids’ clothes with Stella McCartney. Aside from their CFDA initiatives, the San Francisco-based company has avoided the designer collaboration craze as much as Stella’s wholeheartedly embraced it. The Brit’s done a one-off for H&M, an exclusive for Net-a-Porter (which included a few children’s pieces), and designs for Adidas and LeSportsac. The collection, [...]

Glam Greys

Last August in Vogue, Kate Moss named two things she’d never wear: sneakers with an evening dress and sweatpants. But even though Ms. Moss refuses to wear sweatpants, the trend’s been gaining momentum and is now solidly in the spotlight. Back in November, Alexander Wang–prince of the laid-back, but still sexy, look–put up some sweat [...]

Quote of the Day

A five-year-old could see this bag and think it’s cool.” –Kanye West waxing poetic on his Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage Keepall for men.Style.com .

Beach Blanket Bingo

Apparently, we’re a bit towel-obsessed at the moment. Perhaps it’s the very un-beachy weather we’re having here in NYC that has us dreaming about sunnier, sandier days. While we won’t be wearing ours anytime soon, we rather liked these D. Porthault beach versions that we saw on style.com. But the price tag was what really [...]

People Are Talking

Love is Blind. We Are Not. Catfight.

Which design collaboration’s not actually going so smoothly? Major licensing and financial problems mean the summer-turned-fall launch is now looking like late winter. And if that’s not enough drama the designer now “despises” the collaborator.

Mid-Day Snack

Between Two Ferns: Along with millions of others, Britt and I saw The Hangover this weekend. It’s awesome. Zach Galifianakis kills. And so does his wardrobe, key pieces of which the kids over at the LA Times tracked down. We would be honored to join his wolfpack. {All the Rage} Smile, You’re on Sara’s Camera: [...]
