Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are bringing feathers back in their Fall 2010 collection. They’re adding leather, and a couple of inches to the heels of their booties, but it’s the diamonds that caught our eye in their showroom this morning. While they’ll continue to produce their most popular jewelry pieces from seasons past, they’re adding Read more →
I occasionally wear Prada’s Infusion de Iris, so news of the label’s latest–Infusion de Tubéreuse–in WWD this morning sent a thrill of excitement down my well-perfumed spine. (Find my closely-documented search for the ultimate signature scent here.) This perfume includes Indian tuberose and Italian blood orange, amongst other less organic-sounding ingredients. What I like about Read more →
Neiman Marcus fashion director Ken Downing knows which runway looks will travel briskly to the racks of top retailers. Why? Because as the person leading the buyers of one of the biggest luxury department stores int the world, that’s his job! Downing’s thoughts on Fall 2010, thus far: “There’s still the battle between masculine and Read more →
Department stores might be losing their influence, but that doesn’t mean they’ve given up altogether. Consider the recent increase in discount outlets. Saks Fifth Avenue is dabbling in the flash sale space, Nordstrom is bringing Rack to New York and now, Bloomingdale’s has announced plans for its first-ever outlet stores, four of which are slated Read more →
We are so excited for September. While the official list won’t be released until August 17th, we just received a huge rundown of events for Fashion’s Night Out, the New York City fashion celebration this September 10th. Over 300 retailers in all five boroughs have already signed up to party from 6pm to 11pm. We’re Read more →
Your mom probably wore one when she played tennis. Or the kid that got made fun of during summer camp. And Eminem was pretty into wearing one backwards in 2001. That’s right, the visor. There are two basic versions: the sporty, and the beachy. We’ve seen the sporty one cropping up ironically on your basic Read more →
Reader Jen found this familiar looking pink and orange dress by a brand called Single on the Cusp website. (In case you don’t live in one of the few cities with a Cusp it’s basically Neiman Marcus’ answer to Barneys Co-op.) Anyway, since she was so obsessed with the Christian Dior resort original that Eva Read more →
This morning, among emails from people we actually know, our inbox was filled with notes from Abercrombie & Fitch, Barneys, Bergdorf, Michael Kors, Neiman Marcus, Tiffany & Co., and Pottery Barn – and it’s only 9:00. Is it just us, or do you delete these immediately and move on? We could just click ‘unsubscribe’ at Read more →

To: Tips@Fashionista.com From: FadeIn@Italy.com Looks like Dolce & Gabbana are goin’ down. It appears Neiman Marcus is pulling D&G from all of its stores. The troubled company has been on a downward spiral for months now, very quietly. No more fancy showroom on 5th Ave – now unremarkable digs downtown. No more Director of Operations Read more →
We’ve obviously been spending a serious amount of time shopping online. Margiela and Miu Miu cost less than Michael Kors these days and that, we love. These booties top our list of discoveries. Booties are our favorite winter shoe – they’re far more practical than pumps, warmth wise, they aren’t as serious as boots and Read more →
The fashion industry’s been kind of obsessed with this election. Everyone gasped when Michelle wore Thakoon, then again when she wore J.Crew. Everyone panicked when Palin spent $150,000 at Saks and Neiman’s and everyone cringed when she wore knee-high boots. Sonia Rykiel and Jean de Castelbjac sent Obama dresses down their Spring runway, Nicole Farhi Read more →
