Her line – Simply Vera Vera Wang – continues to be fresh, accessible, and delicate. It doesn’t scream KOHL’s (of course, it doesn’t announce COUTURE either, but we digress…); she’s somehow been able to maintain a mainstream presence in a national chain without her high-end line losing it’s perceived value and positioning. Simply…a feat.

Coat-erie

Baby, it’s cold outside!
I have an odd love of coats. ‘Tis the season for thick, luxurious, progressively stylish versions.
Popping over to notcouture, I noticed a plethora of mens’ coats on display. My personal fav, a band coat by Zara {another fav} may not keep one as warm as is needed in this awful winter weather, [...]

Mara Hoffman ,NY fashion designer is magical with her use of tribal silk prints in her 2010 Spring Collection. She leverages her obvious passion for nature and world travel as inspiration for this season’s pieces. She flaunts her remarkable range through her ability to kill us with everything from swimwear to cashmere coats! I love everything about [...]

The wearer Benan had in mind while creating his collections – definitely a Spanish don, if not by blood then by nature – will love the classic silhouettes punched up just a bit for added fun and flavor.

Bad Lab : What It Is
June 30th, 2009 · No Comments · Designer File
Maybe it’s because I love the cliche statement, maybe the simplicity of the tee got under my skin, or maybe the entire stock at thebadlab.bigcartel.com piqued my interest…whatever the reason, gt’s are begrudgingly getting an SP mention.
Z Zegna: Sensuous Substance
June 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Designer File
You may have noticed that around here, we like to keep it underground, or at least avant garde and directional. Most of the product discussed is not pasted all over the glossies, but instead is quietly buzzed about in the back fashion alleys and random style blogs.
Well, Ermenegildo Zegna is no underground gem.
Foot Fancy

Looking at shoes, shopping for shoes, comparing shoes, wearing shoes, pairing shoes…it’s all good to me.
I’m ecstatic about Maison Martin Margiela too. The quirkiness of this elusive designer designs is both entertaining and refreshing. So imagine my giddiness over MMM high-top trainers for Men.
Classic Americana
May 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Designer File
Gilded Age is one of my favorite lines! I must say they embody the classic Americana design aesthetic that I definitely identify with.
Gilded Age clothing is inspired by America’s “Gilded Age” – during the early 18th century in the Northeast – the country embraced the industrial revolution and the proliferation of cotton and textile mills [...]
