LV picked Victoria’s Secrets models Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima and Karolina Kurkova as well as Leo’s main squeeze Bar Rafaeli. But wait, there’s more. They [...]

I personally love Milan’s fashion week and think of it as the souped up, edgier version of New York fashion week The designers seem to pull out all the stops and their shows just drip pure, sultry Italian-inspired fashion. This year’s highlights include Sicily-inspired fashion at Dolce & Gabbana’s show, mixed with tailored jackets, Versus’s [...]

Dolce and Gabbana looked to the Sicily of old for their inspiration for their Fall/Winter 2010 Menswear collection. I loved the collection, but my favorite element? The fisherman-style cap they put on many of their models. Celebs are picking up on this trend as well – for example, Kellan Lutz was [...]

This season in New York, Bebe showed a line designed by sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian. These sexy clothes are the basis of what Bebe hopes will be a turnaround in the brand’s fortunes, and it seems to be working – the line sold so quickly online and in stores that [...]

Marc Jacobs filled his Fashion Week runway show with beautiful, ladylike clothes done predominantly in shades of gray (which happens to be one of my favorite colors). The menswear look is still hot, as Jacobs mixes several of his skirts and dresses with blazers and other fitted tops, while his pieces seemed [...]

As you’re well aware, it’s Paris fashion week and things do tend to get a little crazy at these shows. Well, this year’s runways are taking the cake. Designers are going above and beyond avant garde and are pulling out some insane designs. McQueens pallete of black, red and white was extremely dark and fantastical. [...]

Nina Ricci’s New Shoes of Terror
March 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment
You may remember last year Nina Ricci’s models tumbled down the runway one after another as they struggled to walk in horribly high shoes. At one point a model fell, took off her shoes and walked the remainder of the runway shoes in hand. Well, you would think that at her Fall 09 show Nina [...]

This weekend we had the pleasure of attending Alisha Trimble’s fashion show at the Bowery Electric. The theme of the show was new money, and there was no hint of a recession at this show. The dresses were highly embellished and sparkly with ornate details and tons of pearl accents and sequins. I absolutely loved [...]
