Tim Hamilton may show his eponymous collection in Paris, but he maintains a New York presence with diffusion line Redux, sporty menswear that combines elements from the designer’s all-American archives with an emphatic nod to streetwear. While Redux’s Fall 2009 debut was just 15 pieces, this sophomore effort–which debuted last night at Milk Studios–runs the [...]

The last time I went to a Costello show, I wasn’t blown away. In fact, I was pretty disappointed. These guys–who live in my neighborhood and are known for working the lumberjack look long before it was popular among Brooklyn’s finest hipsters–are also known for draping a dress like no one else.

I adore Preen’s Power dress. I really do. But do you know what I love more? The duo’s power suit, which became an instant obsession yesterday at Milk Studios.

The designer gave us new silhouettes for fall; Overall things were a bit more streamlined. But it was the chunky knits and leather jackets that caught my eye. There was a beautiful embroidered top, cozy Shepherd’s Patchwork knits and [...]

In the busyness of Friday we missed Cynthia Rowley’s proper runway show, but I was sure to head up to the Gagosian Shop on the Upper East Side to see her collaboration with the gallery. For the night presentation Cynthia had a couple of runway looks photographed and those photographs superimposed on white shift dresses [...]

Rag & Bone’s AW10 collection was awesome. There were plaids and tweeds and military style fanny packs and killer booties topped with chunky scarves, layered over thin turtlnecks with bits of shearling and loads of buckles.  There were navys and forest greens and deep reds, with plenty of black and even some brown.  There were [...]
