Astrology Guru Susan Miller Tells Us How the Color You Wear Can Change Your Life

Susan Miller is the mother of a fashion designer, has been lending her astrology skills to fashion glossies for years, and the whole fashion world seems generally obsessed with astrology for some reason. Thus, it was only a matter of time before she did a collaboration with an actual fashion brand. Calypso tapped Miller to collaborate on collection of cashmere sweaters that come in 13 colors, each of which Miller has linked to a color aura. Confused? So were we. So, we called Miller and asked her to explain exactly what a color aura is, and how it works on sweaters.

In addition to this being Miller’s first fashion collaboration, it’s her first time working with her daughter, Chrissie Miller, who used to design the label Sophomore, and who created the two-sided hangtag that comes attached to each sweater. "I’m really close to both my daughters and any time I get a chance to be with Chrissie it makes me happy. Actually, she lost power because she’s in lower Manhattan, so she had to live with me for a week and it was like winning a contest; I loved it. For me, the blackout was a positive thing."

So it's safe to say it's something she wouldn't mind doing again--working with Chrissie or working with Calypso. "I would like to do more with Calypso," she said. "I would like to do something for Mother’s Day."

Maybe the stars will align and it will happen.

For now, you can get the Calypso St. Barth cashmere collection here and learn more about what the future has in store for you on Miller's website, Astrology Zone.

Fashion Fairy Tales: Author Camilla Morton Tells Us How She Turned Manolo Blahnik's Life Into a Fairy Tale (He Supplied the Illustrations)

Camilla Morton, whose name you might recognize as she's contributed to this site before, is a veteran fashion journalist with a best selling novel, How to Walk in High Heels, under her belt. But after years of writing countless show reviews, this fashion journo is now penning...fairy tales. "I am enchanted by how clothes make you feel, and the people behind it," Morton said. "Because sometimes the magic and the art of creation gets forgotten in the rush to find the next big thing." So Morton set about crafting fashion fairy tales, blending the lives of fashion icons with classic fairy tales. The icons supply the illustrations, of course (see an illustration by Manolo Blahnik, above left). The first in her fashion fairytale memoir series blended Christian Lacroix's life story with the tale of Sleeping Beauty. Out this month is Manolo Blahnik and the Tale of the Elves on the Shoemaker. We talked to Camilla about what it was like to work with Manolo to write his fairy tale. Plus we've got a peak at some of Manolo's gorgeous illustrations.

Betsey Johnson Tells Us About Her Reality Show Fears

This coming Sunday, May 12 (Mother's Day! Don't forget!), the Style Network will debut fashion's latest reality show: XOX, Betsey Johnson. The debut follows a pretty tumultuous year for the energetic designer, from declaring bankruptcy and closing all her stores, to throwing a huge 70th birthday bash, to Steve Madden taking over her company. We got a sneak peek at the first episode, and Betsey is surprisingly open about her past business problems and, well, everything--from her relationship with her daughter to what's really inside her water bottle while she's working out with her trainer (a mimosa). We recommend watching--it's quite entertaining. Read on for our interview with Betsey, in which she dishes on the state of her business, why she agreed to do the show in the first place, her new job "without the hard stuff," and what she thinks of the whole punk-themed Met gala (which she did not attend).
