MCQUEEN IS DEAD. LONG LIVE MCQUEEN
by: ElizabethCochran
My assignment was to write about the recent New York Fall 2010 ready-to-wear fashion shows. It may seem strange to title a piece about New York Fashion Week with a reference to Scottish designer Alexander McQueen, but his suicide on opening day (February 11) cast a pall over the entire event.
His death was an epiphany. [...]

Grey Is The New Black!
On October 2, 2009 at 8:51 am
This past summer, half part due to the recession and half due to fashion’s ever revolving fickle nature, the 80’s look was everywhere. From acid wash jeans, bright neon pullovers to skinny jeans with off the shoulder tops, fashion re-embraced the look of the 80’s. It has often been said that the 80’s was ahead [...]

Lance’s Leg Warmers…

I was curiously surprised during a visit to Uniqlo in Soho New York. Once I ventured past the muted shades of summers past and sped past the uninspiring humor of winters arrivals I was forced to stop dead in my tracks due to an unexpected engulfment of merchandising artistic expression. From combat boots to boxing sneakers every single male [...]

Chrome Nails!
On September 24, 2009 at 8:12 am
As long as I can remember women have always viewed their fingernails as an accessory. From complex colorful designs to classic french tip manicures, nails have played a crucial and critical part in a woman’s completed look. While for many years other than shape, design and color, manicured nails were an overlooked staple that were considered a given. They commanded about as [...]

Ok so I’m at the Diesel event with the New York Giants, and at this point life is good. Everyone is dressed casual with no forced detail or effort regarding what they are wearing as this is a chill event with beer and wings. All is good in the land of Oz.
About an hour or two into [...]

Yesterday was an awesome chilly day in Manhattan. It allowed everyone to do what we have all been waiting to do, layer!

From double knitted cable scarves to tightly knitted pashmina, scarfs are as important to ones complete, and overall look as any other staple piece.

Ergo Cargo!
On September 16, 2009 at 8:20 am
Cargo pants are to men what leggings are to women. I have always been a fan of a great pair of cargo pants. The more pockets the better I say. From Da-Nang to the Gap I have a huge assortment of cargo pants. They offer at times a much needed break from slacks and jeans; [...]

How does one keep warm this fall without forsaking fashion? Try a thick over sized blanket sweater that is either draped or sinched at the waist to highlight your waistline.
The beautiful aspect of these sweaters is that they come in an array of patterns, colors and knits. From hounds tooth to tribal the blanket sweater is one of [...]
