Halfway There: New York Fashion Week 0000-00-00 00:00:00 New York Fashion
Week is well underway. Many designers have brought their creations out for fashion-minded folks to ogle, to write about, to contemplate purchasing, or simply to purchase. Thus far, I've perused the designs of Adam Lippes (ADAM), Badgley Mischka, Erin Fetherston, BCBG Max Azria, Charlotte Ronson, and Lela ... Read more:Halfway

Whet Your Appetite 0000-00-00 00:00:00 While New York Fashion Week kicks off in two days, Australia's Motorola Melbourne Spring Fashion Week began today. The toast of the week is young designer, nineteen-year-old Jacqui Krivitsky for Jacqui Alexander.
She is the youngest designer in Australia. Her collection is awash in beautiful shapes and sweeping curves as ...
Like Visiting an Art Gallery 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Vivienne Westwood never ceases to amaze me. Her designs are unique, but not in a crazy, off-the-wall way, either. Her Spring 2008 collection is very reminiscent of an artist's palette. Close attention was paid to cut and angle, as well as to fabric choices.
While it may be hard to imagine ... Read more:Gallery

Are we there yet? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Yes; yes, we are.
Now that Paris Fashion Week is upon us, I am beside myself. It's the week that I impatiently wait for twice yearly. Today, Monday, October 1st, Vivienne Westwood will be showing as will AF Vandevorst, Yohji Yamamoto, and Christian Dior.
Tomorrow, I await pictures of Balenciaga, Junya ...
After the Purge 0000-00-00 00:00:00 On Saturday, I did what I had been putting off for months--I cleaned out my closet. What I thought would initially take an hour to do turned into a five hour ordeal not helped by the fact that I had my Salsa Mix blasting on the iTunes. Every so often, ... Read more:Purge
Trend Report: Spring 2008 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Now that the Spring
shows have ended (and what a whirlwind these six weeks have been), I've decided to look back at what was presented in each city. The plan is to gage what trends--clothing, shoes, and accessories--we have to look forward to when the temperature starts warming up, and ...
Alexander McQueen 0000-00-00 00:00:00 "Although some would call his designs outrageous, London-born designer AlexanderMcQueen
has garnered attention for many years due to his ability to create clothing that is original and innovative."
--from a paper titled "Notes on Style" that I wrote three and a half years ago during my graduate study.
The opinion remains. ... Read more:Alexander McQueen
Treat Her Like a Lady 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Martin Grant's collection for the Spring does exactly that. He's created finely tailored clothes that accentuates the best parts of a woman's body--her shoulders, her legs, and her neck. However, there was one miss, and it was the hot shorts that he made. Yes, they accentuate super long legs, but ...
More from the Shows in Paris 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Stella McCartney continues the floral theme seen in the Balenciaga show. Her collection was very floaty and flirty, quite reminiscent of an ethereal nymph.
Giambattista Valli went for the girly hues in rose, canary, and powder blue.
Céline went for the bold in everything from clothes to bags ... Read more:Paris
The Best Day 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Thursday, October 4th, looks as though it will be my favorite day of this whole Paris Fashion Week business.
Giambattista Valli, Céline, and Stella McCartney are showing!
Balenciaga Doing What Balenciaga Does Best 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I first read the words Nicolas Ghesquière about eight years ago. The context in which my eyes skimmed that name is quite...unique. I loved reading Internet soap operas at the time. There happened to be web drama title "A Lovely Light," which took place in bitchy Hollywood, with actors who ... Read more:Balenciaga
Christian Dior’s Glamourpuss Catwalk 0000-00-00 00:00:00 It's no secret that I have an affinity for vintage fashion. John Galliano provided that with his collection for Christian
Dior. Very '20s chic, I'd say.
And if we're to look at how each look was accessorized, I would say that the hat trend will not be going anywhere any time ... Read more:Catwalk

Stylized Femininity 0000-00-00 00:00:00 One of the best things about fashion (at least for me) is learning about new designers. New, in this sense, can mean just starting out or new to me. In either case, I find that I get a small rush of excitement as I'm viewing what the designers of a ...
The Most Wonderful Time 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I've always been prone to procrastination. I'm not quite sure why. I do know that I was born one week early, so maybe after that day, I decided, "Maybe I should take things slow?" And, boy, do I! Four days before Christmas, and I have just begun my holiday shopping. ... Read more:Wonderful
My Christmas Wishlist 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The weather has become cooler in the northeast. Well, in actuality, the weather has become downright biting and cold. I've taken to wearing the black Isaac Mizrahi boots that I bought at the beginning of the year almost anytime that I go out. Of course, this leads me to the ... Read more:Christmas

Shoshanna Lonstein Trunk Show 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I will admit that I have associated the name Shoshanna Lonstein (Gruss) with Jerry Seinfeld. I recall her walking the red carpet as a seventeen-year-old high school senior accompanying her 40-something year old sitcom star boyfriend to the Emmy's. Now, she has made a name for herself as a fashion ... Read more:Trunk
I am Gladiator! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 That's what the fashion world has said when it comes to this summer's footwear. The temperature outdoors is rising, and for that very reason the theme is "less is more."
In the case of fashion for the feet, the gladiator style sandal--very Roman, very minimalist--mimics that theme of very little. ... Read more:Gladiator
Here Comes the Bride 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well, you may not be the bride. In fact, you may not even be in the wedding party. That does not mean, however, that you should forgo looking as fabulous as you possibly can during wedding season because yes, wedding season is upon us. The obvious advice is to stay ...

Beach Cool 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Cannes Film Festival officially began last week, and in honor of the locale--Cannes is between Nice and St. Tropez in the South of France--let's take a look at some great fashionable wear for the beach. Whether the goal is to hit up the local boardwalk or to take a ... Read more:Beach
