Vera Wang’s going to be on Dancing With the Stars, continuing television’s obsession with all things fashion. The former figure skater will be sixty when the season starts next September. She’s signed on for the waltz and the foxtrot. We’ve never actually seen the show so our first thought was, “Wow, can’t believe she’s doing Read more →

Tim Hamilton Targets the Ladies

Designers are falling into two very different camps these days. On the one side, we’ve got those pulling out of the tents for Fashion Week (Vera), consolidating stores (Marc), and focusing on accessories (Olivier). On the other, we’ve got those moving from womenswear to menswear (Roland, Gareth, Carlos, Decarnin, Ferré), womenswear to kidswear (Gaultier) and Read more →

Fashion Week

Vera, Miu & Barbie

The past month has seen two major New York store openings. Vera Wang opened up shop in Soho while Miu Miu added a third New York City location on 57th St, both of which seemed to laugh in the face of economic catastrophe. It’s a good thing Vera Wang opened that store – she needs Read more →

Donna Karan Cuts Back, Again

When the economy started its downward spiral, we guessed Fashion Week would pass with a few less tote bags and water bottles. Which was fine, as long as there were still macaroons. Now WWD reports a surge in planned presentations, instead of runways, which we’d actually love. Both Vera Wang and J. Mendel are allegedly Read more →

Target Gets Picky

Everyone’s been a bit worried about Target losing Isaac Mizrahi to Liz Claiborne. The designer’s been widely credited with building Target’s fashion cred, but we’ve always thought their success stemmed more from their GO International collections. Apparently so do they – the company announced this morning that they won’t attempt to form another long term Read more →
