I just don’t know really where to begin here with this Stephen Burrows piece.  Actually I’m not sure how he showed this dress when he created it back in the day…  Did he show it as a “bat cape” where the panels are in the back of the dress or did he show this piece with the panels in front of the dress?  Either way you slice this, it’s gorgeous beyond words.  I’m actually loving showing it with the “bat cape” in back of the dress….  It really doesn’t matter because what does matter is the fact t

Now or never, the wait is finally over – it takes me 4 years to accomplish my blogging mission to bring Asia's most talented young designers to the world’s attention. La Mode by GV Miao's unprecedented and groundbreaking “project of the year” – New York Asian Fashion Week Extravaganza will take place on September 18, New York – save the date!

The idea of throwing a catwalk show for young, up-and-coming Asian/Hong Kong designers in New York, the well-known fashion capital of the US came from my bl

Last month, the Niels Bugge Cartoon Award asked illustrators and cartoonists from around the world to submit drawings based on a basis theme: climate.    I read this article in the green section of the Huffington Post and my jaw dropped because, these brilliant and talented artists hit it on the head….  Nailed it.   I LOVE this quote from the website: “Human beings, as all life on Earth, came from the stars and landed through the ocean,” the contest solicitation read.  ”Ocean is our very first f

This Dior vintage gown looks like something Karen Carpenter would have worn.  The cropped lace trim bolero jacket with a halter floral pattern gown…  I’m not sure if this is late 70′s or early 80′s but it’s in between that’s for sure.  I absolutely love the jacket part of this gown… LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT…  This 2 piece gown knocked me out of my sockets and left me stranded on the floor for quite some time…  You just don’t run across these types of gowns just every month or every year!  Floral

You can’t look at this vintage 70′s Guy Laroche silk paisley print blouse without thinking the word “CHIC”…  I know you can’t… it’s impossible.  When Guy Laroche launched his eponymous couture label in 1957, he had a clear aim in mind: liberating women’s bodies away from the New Look, towards a comfortable, understated elegance both “refined and discreet”.    His designs marked decades: creations such as the coat dress and the shirt dress continue to be a staple in women’s wardrobe today.  He pa

The Sunday Morning show on CBS with Charles Osgood this past Sunday featured The Green School in Bali and all I kept thinking was “why didn’t I go there?”  When you click on The Green School’s website I loved reading their mission statement “Our vision is of a natural, holistic, student-centered learning environment that empowers and inspires our students to be creative, innovative, green leaders.”  The Green School is located in Bali, Indonesia, one of the most amazing environments on planet Ea

Weeks ago they pulled 18 pieces from my store DOUBLETAKE for a fashion show called  ”A Divine Tribute to Fashionata” a tribute to Rich’s department store.  The day the AJC was photographing the photo shoot to cover the event with models from the past, I styled the models for the photo-opt.    I handed the AJC “journalist” Nedra Rhones my card and she said she would be contacting me to interview me for the article.  Needless to say the “journalist” Nedra never called and the article came out that

Yes I love Ungaro.  When you click on the YouTube interview video wait till you see the runway collection from the 80′s..  All those patterns, prints, fabrics are just so sexy & creative.  When I look at vintage Ungaro runway collections I think that they are timeless.  Any woman could wear his pieces from decades ago because they were perfection from the very beginning…  This navy knit wool short sleeve Ungaro is just that perfection…..  Enjoy the video and enjoy wearing luxury vintage…  I’m Da

Who in their right mind doesn’t love finding a little piece of Pucci?  I flipped that’s my reaction to what I did when I first spotted it.  I know it’s a pocket handkerchief square but the right girl could use this as a head scarf for sure….  The thrill about shopping green – shopping recycled – shopping second hand is you are shopping smart.  Why you ask?  Because the world we all live in today manufactures items that have expiration dates on them.  You buy items from The Gap, Old Navy, H&M, Za
