Chanel-o: If Craig McDean had shot this with Baptiste Giabiconi instead of Constance Jablonski (for Interview), Karl Lagerfeld might have exploded from excitement. That would’ve been fun. {Models} It’s It: This went up at the start of the week, but in case you missed it & you’re still wondering just who Becka Diamond is, this [...]

Quote of the Day

“What’s jarring is the marriage between the series and its new home. Project Runway is Barneys; Lifetime is Kohl’s. The cable outfit that broadcasts Army Wives and Reba reruns maintains an ethos that says, ‘Viewer, I see your cellulite; I’m down with your fibromyalgia; I know your menopausal misery.’ …the current season [of PR] is [...]

Fruity Flavor

Earlier this summer, Carolina Herrera waved aside any Elle Woods’ prejudices and gushed about the color orange, calling it “the new red” and using it prominently in her lovely Resort 2010 collection. I love orange, and am totally willing to jump onto the trend, but unfortunately something about an orange dress – on me- is [...]

High As a Thigh

I’ve spent almost three of the past four weeks in California which means I’ve worn pretty much nothing but old Levi cut-offs, white James Perse tees and my red Saltwater sandals. It’s been wonderful. But yesterday it was back to reality, which means gearing up for fall, for fashion week, for September issues etc. and [...]

Quote of the Day

“Our customers are still shopping. Their spending is more restrained. It’s now a two-pairs-of-Blahniks-instead-of-five kind of a thing. But it’s creeping back; by fall, it will be three-and-a-half pairs.” –Simon Doonan staying positive (thank god) in WWD.

Alex Wang Teaches Runway

This September doesn’t just mean Fashion Week, fall and my 25th birthday (yikes!), it also means the first ever Vogue Night Out. Mayor Bloomberg and Anna Wintour announced the initiative in May, hoping for a revitalization of fashion and retail in New York City. The event’s taken on international proportions, with counterparts in London and [...]

Wheeling & Dealing

This morning’s inbox is flooded with sale announcements. While no one’s hit 75% off quite yet, except for Selfridges which sadly we can’t make, spring prices are being slashed left and right. Saks just announced 25% off all women’s denim (on top of their already 40% off sale), for two days you can take an [...]

Sea of Love

It wasn’t going to be long before designer Sean Monahan of Sea New York hit our radar. He’s kind of perfect for the current climate — a former Wall Street analyst who ditched his career in finance and turned designer. He started out dressing his best friends which quickly turned into dressing Gwyneth Paltrow, Christina [...]

Social What?

We’ve been getting loads of pitches about fashion social networking sites and we don’t really get it. The sites, for the most part, appear to be places where one can go for shopping advice. Each caters to a slightly different crowd or offers vaguely different services. On some, you upload pictures of yourself in outfits [...]
