I Need, I Want, I Have to Have: Rachel Gilman Earrings

Rachel Gilman has styled for magazines like Misbehave and Valerie. (She also happens to be a regular Fashionista commenter.) But those two factors alone do not warrant a story. What’s really unique about Gilman is her jewelry line, compiled of graphic, colorful pieces that I want to add to my accessories wardrobe asap. The designer [...]

First Look: Steven Alan’s New Handbag Line, Plus Some of His Other Favorites

This morning, Britt and I visited Steven Alan’s showroom to examine the designer/retailer/rep’s autumn offerings. Downstairs, we cooed over the Steven Alan plaid button downs, printed smock tops and woolen coats. There were plenty of other great labels around–including Demylee, No. 9 and The Lake and Stars–but what really stole our hearts were the accessories [...]

Band of Outsiders’ Scott Sternberg to Launch Lower-Priced Women’s Line

Boy., the women’s collection from Band of Outsiders designer Scott Sternberg, is one of our top five favorite labels. However, the hefty price tag hinders us from buying as much as we’d like to. That’s why it’s so exciting that Sternberg plans to launch girl., a diffusion line for those who can’t afford $1,700 blazers. [...]

Mark Fast, Hannah Marshall, KTZ and More Show Off Their Goods at the London Show Rooms

British fashion never ceases to impress me. Sure, it’s creative, but the amount of attention that’s paid to craftsmanship is what really makes it distinctive. Earlier this week at the London Show Rooms–a sort of trade show set up by the British Fashion Council to introduce under-the-radar designers to buyers Stateside–I had the pleasure of [...]

Label to Watch: Reece Hudson

Just after lunch, I headed down the block to the Reece Hudson showroom to take a look at their fall collection. Reece Solomon and Max Stein launched the handbag line in 2009, and it’s been a hit ever since. They can’t seem to keep their bags on the shelves at both Castor & Pollux and [...]

Designer to Watch: Dion Lee

While we love Australian designers like Collette Dinnigan, Lover, Ksubi and Sass & Bide, we’d say that country’s fashion scene is a bit quiet, at least when it comes to its influence on the Northern hemisphere. That may be about to change, thanks to Aussie newcomer Dion Lee. Australian’s fashon elite have already embraced this [...]

Ask an Expert: Will Pieces from Cheap Designer Collaborations Be Worth Money Someday?

As I was spring cleaning my closet the other day, I relegated an old Thakoon for Target striped t-shirt to the “workout clothes” pile. Later that same week, though, I wore his three-year-old white Gap shirt to work. The paradox got me thinking: Designer collaborations are more abundant than ever, but as the pieces age, [...]

Five Frenchie Labels Set to Blow Up Stateside

We’re guessing you’ve noticed, but there’s a bit of an American obsession with Paris-based designers right now. With Zadig & Voltaire setting up shop in the meatpacking district last year, Isabel Marant’s imminent arrival in SoHo and April 77 jeans a must-wear for fashion types, it seems like Francophilia is so much cooler than Anglophilia [...]
