Not only are Colombian designers eager to break into the U.S. market, but Colombia’s apparel manufacturing sector (which accounts for around Read more →
Marc Jacobs is one of the most “directional” trend setters out there but a very well informed tipster wrote in to show us that even king Marc gets inspired, very inspired, by his peers. The Anna Sui dress is from the designer’s first ever collection-Spring 1992–and was spotted when our tipster bought an Anna Sui Read more →

Ideeli launched back in 2007, and this is the second season the flash sales site is officially sponsoring Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Along with a slew of guest contributors adding fashion-centric editorial content to the e-commerce platform, Ideeli will also host a “Design Dreams” giveaway on February 12. The package includes everything an aspiring designer needs to sew his or her first piece: sewing machine, sketch pads, sewing class, and more.

We may be loathe to embrace runway collections that never make it to stores, but last night’s Perry Ellis show at Bryant Park looked a little too off-the-rack. Goatskin trenches were a standout, but they mingled with merino and wool “blends” (read: acrylic and poly). And we definitely spotted some pleats. Still, Perry Ellis International Read more →
Mark Haddaway and Katy Rodriguez, the brilliant duo behind Resurrection, have been working on a project. We’re so jealous, we might cry. They’ve assembed what The Telegraph calls, “the most important [collection] to come up at auction.” It includes original 1970′s Vivienne Westwood from both the legendary Seditionaries and Pirates collections. There are Paco Rabanne Read more →

Jerry Kaye, former creative director for Perry Ellis, has just been named head designer for Dr. Martens. That’s probably the most sensible fashion appointment we’ve ever heard. Kaye came on as Men’s fashion director at Ellis in 1993, the same year Marc Jacobs was fired, and stayed up until 2005 when he launched his own Read more →
When I was sitting at the Perry Ellis show this morning, fresh from the torrential downpour outside, my notebook read: “Everyone around me is talking about real estate. This can’t be good.” In fact, I found myself only watching for the models. Photographer Jeremy Kost read my mind. Over and over again… –PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEREMY Read more →
