The season for dinner parties is upon us and just in the (saint) nick of time, Simon Doonan (who recently gave us a great pumpkin pie recipe) has created a handy video with tips on how to make your holiday dinner party a lot more fabulous–a word he says at least eight times in two minutes.
It’s not such a stretch to imagine some fashion people as cartoon characters, is it? Here are the Disney versions of all your favorites in the industry, straight from the Barneys/Disney holiday collab.
It’s day two of Sandy’s aftermath and the picture of how this disaster is impacting retail and the industry is becoming a little clearer (though, power outages and transportation problems will continue to complicate things at least through the week).
A lengthy report in today’s WWD details Sandy‘s effect thus far as well as updates from the city’s biggest retailers. Read on for a rundown.
Back in August, Barneys revealed that it would be collaborating with Disney for its holiday campaign–and that Minnie Mouse and her pals would be dropping a few dress sizes to fit into their designer frocks. Cue the outrage.
It was difficult not to be a bit starstruck having opportunity to chat candidly to Grace Coddington, who told us that even she gets stuck for inspiration sometimes (hard to believe!).
What a cute way to start the morning!

So you can imagine our excitement when the department store invited us to dinner and drinks at the NoMad Hotel’s rooftop to celebrate Rag & Bone‘s latest bag this past Monday–a much-needed respite from NYFW’s crazy schedule.
Looks like Barneys just answered that controversial question Style.com asked last week: “Is lesbian chic here to stay?” Or perhaps this just means the “trend” has gone mainstream and is thus on its way out. Barneys just unveiled its fall campaign in WWD and in it we see Arizona Muse (who has been romantically linked Read more →
Anyone who works in the industry has had ‘em: A fashion week related nightmare. We asked designers, editors and stylists to share theirs with us, and then we asked our friend (and super talented artist) Mara Sprafkin illustrate them. Don’t be scared… To kick off the series, Erin Fetherston told us about her nightmare involving Read more →
Last year Barneys famously used the cartoon-like Lady Gaga as the over-arching theme/inspiration for the holidays, and this year it’s using real cartoons: Disney characters. Disney and fashion have had a pretty good relationship lately–Christian Louboutin just designed a Cinderella shoe, and Minnie Mouse had her own OPI nail polish collection. (Plus, polka dots–which are Read more →
What do you have to do to keep a nearly 90-year-old British heritage brand relevant? If you’re Belstaff’s Chief Creative Officer Martin Cooper, the key to success lies in the past. Hired to the company a little over a year ago, Cooper’s vision for Belstaff was a heritage brand reinvented to meet 21st century needs–a Read more →
