Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2011: Channeling Marianne Faithful

As editors tapped their toes to the tunes of the incomparable Mick Jagger & Co., all-American design icon Tommy sent out a fall collection inspired by “the nonchalant style of a 1970′s rock star’s girlfriend.” You could certainly see it in the bevy of menswear looks–models sported oversized, three-piece pinstripe suits accented with pocket squares and stack-heeled loafers we suggest jumping on the waitlist for now. The silky, diaphanous foulard-print maxi dresses and pajama pants projected just the right feel of laid-back seventies luxe, but the outerwear was what really caught our eye.

Good Girls vs. Bad Girls: The Black Backlash

FW09 was the season of the Bad Girl, epitomized by Balmain’s super-short mini dresses and edgy shoulders. Nowadays, the masses are sporting studs, metal hardware, chunky black boots, etc. It’s an overall hardcore look that’s available to purchase everywhere from Barneys to Forever 21. So naturally it’s time for a black backlash. Technically the backlash [...]

United Bamboo and Peter Som Want Women to Look Pretty

While United Bamboo and Peter Som have uniquely different audiences–the former courts Brooklyn’s arty set, while the latter appeals to Upper East Side ice blonds–both labels did yesterday what isn’t always the most important thing in high fashion: They made pretty clothes. At Bamboo, the look was very 1940s, with lots of bows and high-waisted [...]

Blass Is Back

This morning, The New York Times broke the news that Jeffrey Monteiro’s been chosen as the latest in a string of designers to creatively direct Bill Blass. We thought last year’s dramatic fail and Peter Som’s exit actually did mean the end of the all-American brand, but now, under the new holding company Bill Blass [...]

What’s In A Name?

Whitney Port, of The Hills and The City, has apparently “designed” a lipstick for Cargo. Of course, I recognize that there is PR value and it’s very lovely that a portion of the profits go to St. Jude’s. But really, I’ve always found these collaborations, if you can even call them that, rather dumb. I [...]
