There’s no way threeASFOUR is a profitable business. But in this case, I don’t really care. The clothes are art. If the threesome only sells ten dresses a year it’s worth a runway show in my mind. While the twisted rope dresses encased in a perfumed Milk Studios didn’t wow when compared to that seashell [...]

I don’t want to rain on Sophia Theallet’s parade. The CFDA-winner might be the brightest star in women’s fashion. Her clothes are exquisitely-made and possess an effervescence that is rarely seen on the runway today. I mean that Theallet’s clothes shine: Not just in the literally sense with sparkle and satin, but with character. On [...]

A: Armor was everywhere, with beaded and sequined tops and dresses that looked like chain-mail. The ubiquitous anorak popped up here, too, in olive drab. B: Hiking boots with heels were everwhere.

Jungle Boogie with The Blonds
All of Fashionista has been looking forward to The Blonds’ show since our invites showed up. We expected rhinestones, corsets, wild prints, and an awesome experience. We were right on all counts.

Whereas in past collections Koi Suwannagate focused on deconstruction, FW10 was all about the constructed form of a kimono. Drawing inspiration from the square sleeves and classic obi belt, Koi created a collection of cashmere and cotton pieces with colorful embellishments. While cerebral in concept and design, some felt a little too “arts-and-crafts” for my [...]

Last night’s Narciso Rodriguez show was pretty, but I was more in the mood for a mind-blowing parade of creative talent and out there fashion. Instead, we got a few bowl shaped leather hats atop sleek silk dresses and sharp jackets. Stand out looks included an orange ombre dress and a sage green silk shift [...]
