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 →
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 →
If your spring internship fell through, or if you’re just really late to the table, Vera Wang needs your Public Relations skills.

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 →
Barbie’s getting a make-over for her 50th birthday, and with it comes a real live runway show during Fall 09 Fashion Week. Mattel wants to up the doll’s fashion cred which means life-size outfits designed by fifty life-size designers including Alexander Wang. Will Ken still love Barbie when she trades in her sequin gowns for Read more →
I have a tiny friend who wears clothes that are often far too big for her, officially. No, I’m not joking about MK, but she’s technically a big part of this, too. My size 0 friend will buy say, a DVF blouse in a size 12, and suddenly, she’s wearing a shirt dress nobody can Read more →
If you’ve been slacking on your intern apps, here’s a new one – Vera Wang’s PR department needs to fill their Fall positions and they’d love you to apply. That is, if: – You’ll be in New York this Fall and have wide open availability from 11-6 five days a week starting August 11. – Read more →
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 →
A much-discussed theory this week is whether the runway’s hemlines can predict an upcoming recession. The saying goes, if dresses and skirts get longer, the economy is getting worse.
