Elie Tahari’s Helping Hand

Donatella Versace threw a lavish dinner party in Milan last night at the close of a very brief and very sobering Men’s Fashion Week. She told The New York Times that the world will re-discover its love of excessive luxury in no time. While she holds her breath, we’re going to enjoy the ways in [...]

Graeme Black — Great Scot!

It amazes us that Scottish designer Graeme Black isn’t more widely known. After all, he was senior designer at Armani for years (not to mention the great Giorgio’s boyfriend for much of that time), and before that Creative Director of Ferragamo. He launched his luxe, very tailored, eponymous label a few years ago. Victoria Beckham’s [...]

Bamboo Expansion

United Bamboo just launched their online store today, just in case you don’t have time to pop into Opening Ceremony or Confederacy to pick up one of their color-block dresses. They’ll also be offering up lots of items exclusive to the site. In keeping with the company’s philosophy of collaborating with cool downtown artists, musicians [...]

The Kids Are Alright

Our first thought when we saw this photo: weird. American Apparel introduces: Kids Shiny Leggings. AA is known for some out-there products (slashed leggings, all-mesh dresses) but their selection of kids clothes has been pretty tame until now. Now, I like leggings, and I like shiny things, but the combination of the two was just [...]

A Beauty Wonderland

This afternoon the Daily Mail showed us the first pictures of the characters from Tim Burton’s film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. And while we feel that Tim’s cycle of remaking a classic in a quirky weird way starring Johnny Depp might be getting a little tired, there’s no arguing that the hair and makeup [...]

Rainy Day Women

We’ve been trying hard (and failing miserably) to not complain about the rain. We can’t help it. This sucks and it’s eating away at our summer. But we’ve often found in the past, that as soon as we buy a new umbrella, it stops raining and vice versa. Case in point, the torrential downpour we [...]

Georgina’s Party

Michelle Trachtenberg’s danced around the fashion crowd for a bit now without actually attaching her name to anything (except for her stint as one of the faces for Candie’s at Kohl’s which she’d probably like us to forget.) But now she’s throwing a party for Guess. They’re re-opening their Soho flagship store at the end [...]

Match Point

Fashion and tennis have always shared a special bond: Coco Chanel, Lacoste, Anna and Roger. Today marks the beginning of the most fashionable, in our opinion, of all the Grand Slams – Wimbledon. It must be noted that I am a huge tennis fan and much like Ms. Wintour, I have much affection for Mr. [...]
