Resort Roundup: SUNO, Preen, Michael Angel Are an Ideal Triumvirate

I spent Wednesday morning in a loft on Greene Street with the Bismarck Phillips girls, who were showing off resort collections for a few clients. They just happened to be three of the most impressive brands out there: Preen, SUNO, and Michael Angel.

The cool thing about the visit was that the trio of collections really fit well together. I could see the same woman wearing each. Maybe not on the same day, but definitely throughout the same week.

Get Inspired: Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman

Last week was long, so I was pretty exhausted–and pretty lame–on Friday night. After a quick double date in the city and a stop off at Old Navy to buy my other half some cheap golf clothes, I landed on the couch at 10pm, ready to pass out.

Of course, cable sucked me in–and out of a lovely lull. Pretty Woman, one of my all-time favorite movies, was on. So I decided to commit to watching the entire thing.

What I realized, as Vivian stomped divots at the polo match, was that I had inadvertently replicated her wardrobe in my own closet. Here’s what I found on my own hangers–and around the Internet.

(Sadly, nothing modern comes even close to matching that red dress in beauty or style.)

Australia’s Zimmermann Opens Up Shop On Greene Street

I knew Zimmermann made swimsuits, and I knew the swimsuits came from Australia, but I didn’t know the following until I swung by their new temporary store this morning. 1. Though their suits are sold throughout New York, and a few stores pick up dress or two each season, Zimmermann’s a full fledged lifestyle brand [...]

The Return of Power Dressing, As Seen At D&G, Preen, Jil Sander & More

Perhaps you’re a little too tough to wade in the velvet sea, or maybe you’re not beginning to see the light… Worry not, AW10′s spawned another trend: power dressing. It emerged first in New York and again this weekend in Milan, turning away from Working Girl (good movie, bad clothes) and toward a less ostentatious, [...]

Preen Moves on From the Power Dress

I adore Preen’s Power dress. I really do. But do you know what I love more? The duo’s power suit, which became an instant obsession yesterday at Milk Studios. I love suiting for women–like, one of my biggest style inspirations is Working Girl–so when this navy stunner walked down the runway my heart stopped. This [...]

Prep School Fashion Hackers’ Access Denied

Gawker reported this morning that Vermont gubernatorial candidate Peter Shumlin’s daughter, Becca, and her friend/accomplice Remy Renzullo hacked into PR firm BPCM’s database and added themselves to the guest lists for Alexander Wang, Preen and Cushnie et Ochs, just to name a few. First thought: Who did they hire to hack into a database? Second [...]

Trendspotting: Lemon Zest

Overall, New York Fashion Week kept to a very neutral palette, but when color was needed designers went straight for neon yellows and lime greens to brighten their quiet visions of spring. We spotted it at Jonathan Saunders, Brian Reyes and Marc by Marc, of course. But Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi of Preen, Yigal [...]
