The first sample sale I ever went to, Stella McCartney’s in London four years ago, was a true sample sale. They’d never had one and were anxious to clear out their archives. Translation: racks and racks of things that had never seen a runway, only seen a runway, half-finished, half ripped-apart treasures that I wish [...]

When the sun finally comes out from under these clouds, we’re putting on our dresses and we will not be turning turning back. This Voile Dress from Need Supply Co. (which we just found online thanks to Nylon) is incredibly pretty, but not in a boring way. And at only $52 is a must-add to [...]

Emma Watson has emerged as quite the young fashion star—from wearing Rodarte and hanging with Daphne Guinness to shooting with Mario Testino for the new Burberry ads that will break in August magazines, where she looks like the picture of youthful sophistication. And with each move, we love her more and more. Now, if only [...]

The last time I wore bike shorts, I was ten and they were neon green and purple paired with a clashing bikini top. I have a pretty vivid memory of catching crabs in the San Francisco marina and throwing sand on a boy – so maybe I’m having this reaction to their resurgence because it’s [...]

On Loan

We are really bad at packing for trips. We consistently overpack but still manage to leave vital items at home, usually sitting on our dresser or kitchen counter. This has happened with our sunglasses more times than we can remember. Which is why we think the Pucci sunglasses loaner program at the Montage Beverly Hills [...]

Now, we’ve loved Chlo√´ since Kids and her intern days at Sassy, and think she has great personal style, but her collection for Opening Ceremony was…fine. The pieces she rocks best [...]

Through my collections, other product projects and through my graphic work, or by collaborating with artists and photographers, I like to tell a story. Without news, nothing is alive. The final result of everything must say something. Information deepens the work. [...]

The two will sit down to discuss the launch of YSL’s “New Vintage” Collection at Barneys’ Madison Avenue flagship tonight from five to [...]

We will admit that we can see some value in the whole Snuggie/Slanket thing that has so very strangely swept the nation. Aside from the fact that the material seems like it would be horribly itchy and people may mistake you for a cult member, we do sometimes like to curl on the couch with [...]
