Makeup for spring is almost always lighter and dewier than its fall counterpart. But one of my favorite trends so far is the use of pastel and Easter egg shades, but in a totally non-precious way. I’m not usually one for light purples, pinks, blues, and greens in beauty. But I’m truly starting to think Read more →
Morning. It’s the first day of Fashion Week here in London, but here’s a sneak peek of next week’s Luella collection, which I’ve (magically) already seen: Black & Gold Military Lots of big bows (obviously) I don’t want to spoil the show, so the only other thing I’ll say is that it is good. Yours, Read more →
Who knew the industry would turn to men’s fashion in the face of financial catastrophe? The past few months have seen shifts toward menswear from everyone from Christophe Decarnin at Balmain to Alexander Wang to Gareth Pugh, all of whom should be very refreshing after this season’s rather dull showing. But thanks to London Fashion Read more →
After months of up-to-the-minute reports of the latest economy-induced fashion catastrophes, we all need a good dose of Isaac Mizrahi. WWD takes an in-depth look at his Liz Claiborne kick-off – his first collection for the brand lands in department stores next month – and he couldn’t sound more optimistic.

The first major example happened when pictures of Luella’s new accessories range were first out. Then we saw these Blair bow earrings on Fred Flare. (These are just Read more →
To be honest we were sort of waiting for this moment. Ever since Luella’s eclectic punk Spring 08 show, the collection has been making ripples through retail stores. First, there was the resurgence of floral ra-ra skirts, and the prominence of cat-eye glasses, then the sudden popularity of neon Docs. So it really came as Read more →
It’s been more than a month since the Met Ball (you know, the super-hero bash with the widely ignored dress code), which was months after we’d already been seeing superhero and comic book themed collections popping up everywhere from Luella to Iceberg. But, honestly, who’s wearing this stuff? We’ve yet to see anyone walking down Read more →
Everyone’s been a bit worried about Target losing Isaac Mizrahi to Liz Claiborne. The designer’s been widely credited with building Target’s fashion cred, but we’ve always thought their success stemmed more from their GO International collections. Apparently so do they – the company announced this morning that they won’t attempt to form another long term Read more →
