During New York Fashion Week, Britt had a bit of a conniption over the masses of velvet sweeping the runways. By the end of Paris, I was also having a conniption. But this time, it was a good thing. And it was over camel. I’ve been wearing more khaki over the last couple of seasons, Read more →
I really enjoyed imaginary shopping this fashion week. Why? Because lots of designers attempted to make wearable yet interesting clothes. And of course, anything that’s wearable and interesting is bound to catch my eye. Here’s a smattering of what I saw and savored. 1. Preen‘s navy power suit. Wall Street-inspired perfection. 2. Rag & Bone‘s Read more →
I had no idea what to expect from the Paris68 runway show last Thursday. I did know that the collection was designed by Marcella Lindeberg, wife of Johan Lindeberg (J. Lindeberg to you) and that the couple has played an integral consulting role in the William Rast label almost since its inception. Ms. Biel and Read more →
The stars of New York Fashion Week? Jessica Biel. Kate Bosworth. Kim Kardashian. Elisabeth…Hasselbeck??? A weak showing, considering just a few seasons ago Anne Hathaway, Chloë Sevigny, Ashley Olsen, and Milla Jovovich graced a single front row.

I guess I think it’s because we’re not trying to be something that we’re not. We’re consistent with our culture and we’ll always be Read more →
There’s no way threeASFOUR is a profitable business. But in this case, I don’t really care. The clothes are art. If the threesome only sells ten dresses a year it’s worth a runway show in my mind. While the twisted rope dresses encased in a perfumed Milk Studios didn’t wow when compared to that seashell Read more →
I don’t want to rain on Sophia Theallet’s parade. The CFDA-winner might be the brightest star in women’s fashion. Her clothes are exquisitely-made and possess an effervescence that is rarely seen on the runway today. I mean that Theallet’s clothes shine: Not just in the literally sense with sparkle and satin, but with character. On Read more →
Yesterday’s Marc by Marc Jacobs show was cute. A friend said it looked a “little too J.Crew” to carry a runway, but overall I was impressed. The palette–lots of red, putty and olive green mixed with tan and bright blue and yellow accents–was pleasing, and there were plenty of pretty dresses to wear to weddings, Read more →
A: Armor was everywhere, with beaded and sequined tops and dresses that looked like chain-mail. The ubiquitous anorak popped up here, too, in olive drab. B: Hiking boots with heels were everwhere.
