« Previous EntriesBuying Your Way into New York Fashion Week
Friday, August 24th, 2007Would you spend $100 to see 15 minutes of a New York Fashion Week runway show? If you own an American Express Gold, Platinum, or Centurion card, you have the option of doing it! You will watch all the excitement from a skybox in Bryant Park, and food and beverages are included in […]
Spotting the Leopard
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007It’s hard not to stare when you see someone wearing leopard-print stretch pants or a leopard-print coat. On that note, it may be impossible to take your eyes off the September 2007 cover of Vogue Paris. Natasha Poly is dressed head to toe in leopard print- she’s even carrying a leopard-print hat! […]
Princy, Not Pricey
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007We love Jessica Simpson’s bathing suit line. Now she’s releasing a clothing line, called Princy, for fall 2007- and the items are affordable, ranging from $50 to $100. The items are casual with a feminine touch, and the collection includes everything from plaid button-down shirts to pink velour sweatpants. I’m digging the […]
Fashion Show Overlap
Monday, August 20th, 2007Oh, Boston. Your attempt to show off the work of local fashion designers seemed so promising! Unfortunately, the Boston Fashion Week has been scheduled during New York Fashion Week. Oops! I’m guessing that most of the world’s fashion moguls will opt to be in NY. Oh, well. Maybe Boston […]
Paris Stops Traffic- Literally!
Friday, August 17th, 2007Yesterday, Paris Hilton launched her new clothing line at Kitson, a high-profile boutique in Los Angeles. If Paris was hoping to get a lot of attention with the clothing line, her wish certainly came true- the crowd was so large that police had to close a lane of traffic. Paris has said that […]
Orange You Glad It’s Chloe?
Thursday, August 9th, 2007We love the Chloe Paddington bags. The satchel, complete with various pockets and stylish brass detailing, is especially cute. The bag also comes in a variety colors, which makes it very versatile… but maybe Chloe went a bit overboard with some of the color choices. What do you think of the orange […]
When W Stands For Why
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007Most W readers have high expectations for the magazine’s fashion issues- I, for example, was expecting to fall in love as soon as I saw the cover. Instead, my facial expression was one mixed of disgust and confusion. Gwyneth Paltrow’s picture reminded me not of a goddess, but of a overly tanned, drugged-up […]
Louis vs. Lohan
Monday, August 6th, 2007I recently wrote about the September 2007 issue of Elle magazine, which featured Lindsay Lohan on the cover. I figured there would be some controversy surrounding Lohan, but I didn’t realize it would be this big. Elle has reported that Lindsay stole several Louis Vuitton items from the photo shoot; consequently, any possibility […]
One Designer, Two Campaigns
Friday, August 3rd, 2007
It seems as though Louis Vuitton’s favorite advertising technique is celebrity endorsement. 22-year-old Scarlett Johansson is the face of the new and trendy LV products; 63-year-old Catherine Deneuve promotes the classic LV luggage collection. Which advertisement do you like better?

Snoopy Couture
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007On September 7, your childhood will come face-to-face with the runway: a group of designers have created pieces for a fashion show that honors the classic Peanuts characters. The show is part of New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and features designers such as Isaac Mizrahi, Betsey Johnson, and Project Runway contestant Laura Bennett. […]
