In or Out: Nina Garcia 2008-05-02 09:54:53 La Nina visited the offices of Mode Magazine in last night's Ugly Betty in a Proenza Schouler vest:
The vest is from their Spring 2008 safari-inspired collection and has been widely praised and worn by People In The Know. We have to say, we're not crazy about it on the model...
...but Nina works the SHIT out of it. Sure, it tends to widen the hips, but on tiny little fashionistas who know Read more:Garcia
