Unless you’ve been living under a Fashion Week rock, you are totally aware that the 70’s are back. In a major way. Nowhere else was it so apparent (or as playful and fun!) as at Tory Burch.

Fall hasn’t even started, and Greek designer Vassilios Kostetsos already has me excited for spring with his Spring/Summer 2011 “Aella” Collection, inspired by “Vazes & Amazones”, or greek ceramic vases, and the ancient amazon culture.

Things I didn’t expect to see from an Elie Tahari collection: a limited palette of black, khaki, and most notably, gold; models stalking the runway in little more than bloomers; short shorts, sexy sequined dresses, silky mini skirts.

Diane’s Spring collection? Greek goddess meets Crayola, and it couldn’t have been more on the mark. The Mediterranean vibe was conveyed best by the Greek key trims on many looks, along with a number of geometric patterns on both tops and dresses. And nothing says “goddess” like soft, flowy, feminine draping. As a designer who […]

Circles, circles, everywhere. Cynthia Rowley’s Spring 2011 very prominently featured the simple shape, with laser cut circles in pencil skirts, sheath dresses, and even in one beautiful ruffled skirt.

Designer collaborations-pure genius. You get the great silhouettes, sophisticated styles and signature details from a designer you love but at a price that’s much easier to swallow.

Rumpled to Runway or Oh. Emm. Gee. I’m in a Fashion Show!
I really appreciate it when brands step up to the plate to support worthy causes, both by raising awareness and by making a donation to the cause itself. As a consumer, I want to know who those companies are so that I can support them with both my wallet and my voice – online and […]
