Made in the USA: 25 of Our Favorite Labels that Produce Domestically

Compared to, say, the 1950s, very little clothing (or anything for that matter) is manufactured in the United States. There are a few heritage brands holding on in the Northwest and the south; and brands that focus on weather-resistance and technologically advanced fabrics are often based here, where the technology originates.

Katie Holmes Didn’t Let Her Divorce Filing Stop Her From Taping Project Runway All Stars

Not unlike her dedication to putting fashion first when it came to her height difference from Tom Cruise, Holmes kept her commitment to taping a guest judge spot on Project Runway: All Stars yesterday, despite having filed for divorce from her husband of six years on Friday.

Katie Holmes and Jeanne Yang Mill Silk in New Jersey and Want You To Leave Your Spanx in the Drawer

This may be geeky, but one of my dreams as a fashion writer has been to observe a designer walking a department store sales staff through his or her collection. The great ones all do this–Michael Kors is legendary for it–but because it happens before the store opens, it’s not something that onlookers often witness.
