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. [...]

Fellas, Step It Up!

I can not help but notice the fashion statement that seems to be plaguing men from every demographic. While it would seem to be contained in one region, this fashion hazard seems to have no face, and no specific preference. I have seen men from all spectrums of society adapt this guise as their go to [...]
Looks Can Be Deceiving!

There is no such thing as second best when it comes to fashion. There is no alternate solution for the equation. Purchasing the next best thing will never be as fulfilling as purchasing what you really desire. There is a sense of pride that comes along with owning an original. How often have you seen someone [...]
Flat Out!

There is nothing sexier than a woman in heels. Not just any heel, but a heel 3 inches or higher. Heels have the power to both elongate, and tone a woman’s leg. By adding height and altering a woman’s walk, heels have the power to entrap any man who dares take notice of their Medusa like [...]
Individually Mainstream!

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Ben Sherman Fall 2009 launch party. Ben Sherman is known for it’s Mod inspired design aesthetic, with reference to The Beatles. Everyone in attendance at the event in some way channeled that hippy psychedelic plaid fringe motif. As I perused the event I noticed that the crowd [...]
Oh How The Mighty Have Fallen!

The powers that be have decided that fashion retailers have suffered long enough, and have decided to come together in a combined effort to put a halt to the suffering of fashion retailers.
With the current economy being so fickle and consumers becoming more frugal with their dollar, luxury fashion retailers have seen a plummet in sales [...]
Designer Phones…
On August 17, 2009 at 1:20 am
Technology has always been a fascination of mine especially if it is a hand held device; but more specifically, a cell phone. I have always enjoyed cell phones from the barbaric brick phone to today’s modern iPhone. When Motorola’s Razor hit I went as far as dropping my current service provider at the time just [...]
Perez’s New Site. Keep Your Day Job.
On August 14, 2009 at 8:10 am
Perez Hilton commenting, and critiquing fashion? How absurd. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at such stupidity. I would assume that one who critiques fashion would display some sense of style themselves. Perez Hilton has taken it upon himself to launch (what he claims has been a long time coming) his own “celebrity meets [...]
One block at a time

They say good things come in two’s or is it threes? Whatever the saying it is clear that twins Dee & Ricky (born Demetrius and Ricardo) have the “it” factor. Hailing from Staten Island these two have taken the fashion industry by storm with their LEGO inspired broaches. From Marc Jacobs, Kanye West, Travis McCoy and [...]
It’s all in the bag!

Both practical and fashionable was luxury fashion design house Louis Vuitton’s goal when conceiving their latest luxury tote the Neverfull. The luxury goods house hit both nails on the head with this bags user friendly design, and modern sleek lines. Practical for both the fashionista, and the working girl the Neverfull appeals an arena of luxury handbag aficionados.
Sometimes a tote [...]
The Black Suit
On August 11, 2009 at 4:18 am
Every man should have one. Every man knows the importance of one and the significance of wearing one; but does every man own one?
The quintessential black suit. No other suit commands the integrity of the black suit. With its slimming effect, and it’s elegant silhouette the black suit is to men what the basic black dress [...]
Essentially… Etro
On August 9, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Fall is aggressively approaching, and with it the climates’ captivating change of season. While autumn’s brisk change is a welcome relief from summer’s intense heat it brings with it the mandatory change of one’s wardrobe. The bright vibrant colors of hot summer days are replaced with dull muted shades of greys, blues and blacks for autumn. [...]
I Wear My Sunglasses at Night!
On August 7, 2009 at 6:55 am
We all have seen it, and some (including myself) are even guilty of it; but why is this such a heinous fashion crime to wear sunglasses at night? In a time where dogs have become accessories, and the hipster look has become the cookie cutter image for mainstream, America how can wearing sunglasses at night be so faux [...]
