Another fashion week has come and gone, and, just like the others, Mercedez-Benz’ Berlin shows had the odd, ugly moment. But overall, clothes were structured, funky, and, most importantly, wearable!

Perret Schaad’s show wins our unofficial “Straight From the Runway” award for clean designs that we’d take right off the models. By mixing neutral creams and beiges with a popping canary yellow, we feel that Schaad’s collection had the pe

It isn’t often that high-fashion design and prostitution collide, but in Amsterdam’s Red Light District, the world’s most glamourous industry is meeting its oldest profession. Similar to New York’s Fashion Incubator, the new RedLight Fashion Initiative mentors 16 of Holland’s most promising designers in the creation and promotion of their own labels. Thanks to the program, these young designers get
professional experience, exposure, and…oh yeah, subsidized rent costs
When Yohji Yamamotoannounced that his very first biography is to be released in October,
we must admit that we expected the usual rags-to-riches story with an awful lot of gloating and good PR. We were in for a sweet surprise. Yamamoto’s biography, entitled My Dear Bomb (alluding to his random spurts of creative energy, not actual explosives), doesn’t just discuss the man behind the designs, but also, his philosophies. With over four decades of experience under his belt and a daughter that debut
Shopaholics: Beware. Big Brother is watching you… or, in this case, Acxiom Corporation. The marketing technology company recently did an extensive study on shoppers, and the results are
so specific that it’s almost frightening. Well, for us big spenders, anyways.
Remember when we gave you a sneak peek of We The People NYC and brought you to the store opening back in May? Today we bring you back to the emerging designer boutique to check up on this little treasure.We joined owner Vera Ng, and shoppers last night on the Lower East Side and even had the chance to chat with featured designers Rachel Cohen of coh.N and Kara Laricks of Collar, Stand + Tie.

Readers– get ready for another trip to the Brooklyn Flea at Fort Greene. Today, we introduce you to Melody Faith Baker, the founder of Melody’s Addiction, a collection of unique, colorful handmade jewelry made with various materials. After taking off a few years from making accessories, working in the city inspired the jewelry designer to pick up the craft again. Let’s just say we’re glad she did. To find out more about Melody’s Addiction, click play now.
Like so many successful designers (Diane von Furstenberg,Steven Alan, etc.) Scott identified a need in the market not through protracted analysis, but going shopping and finding nothing to wear. “I was being asked by lots of clients to, sort of, supplement their wardrobes… It was a moment in fashion where everything was pouffy and frouffy and ruffly and big, and it didn’t’ suit me personally. That’s how I started to do my own collection—out of pure frustration.” So, if there’s something missing
Already a designer of her own collection, Allora, Parsons student Daniela Jacobs is currently a writer for Refinery29 and a studio assistant/fashion intern for cult fave label Vena Cava. She offers regular reports from inside the VC studio and wherever her adventures in New York fashion take her.

Well, I learned a few valuable things this week. First and foremost, the universe taught me that you must always dress for any occasion. As an intern, you never know where life—or t
For this episode of “Flea Bites” we traveled to the Fort Greene Brooklyn Flea on a hot, hot, hot Saturday afternoon to share some great finds with you readers. And look what we found-– a Brooklyn-based line of hand-printed silk-screen t-shirts, tote bags, brass jewelry, and other wares called Loyalty & Blood. Husband and wife duo and DIYers David Denosowicz and Maggie Doyle are the masterminds behind the brand, which was born in the couple’s studio in Williamsburg. To see what the hubby had to s

Nolcha’s Fashion Entrepreneur Report features daily how-to videos on running a fashion business from how to source sustainable fashion to how to use social m
Highsnobette just linked an informative short video
created by independent accessories and footwear designer Melody Ehsani,
and though she works with tropical patterns and Swarovski
crystals, she’d hate to hear you call her work all style and no
substance. “I’ve always had an affinity towards justice and I wanted to
fight for women’s rights, and I just realized that Law wasn’t the proper
vehicle and I felt that what came innately to me or what came easiest
to me was always design.” If you dig a lit
This is an episode about et coupez, my fashion vlog. In this episode, I present to you how the name, et coupez, came about and what it represents. And I also talk about my professional background, my approach to fashion, as well as share my personal style, my favorite fashion designers (Nicolas Ghesquiere, Phoebe Philo and Stella McCartney), and the shops I like (Eryne Brinie, H&M, Opening Ceremony and Zara).
Hope you like it. And please send me a message if you share the same fashion likes, I w
For the next few months, New York City’s Midtown will have a few new residents on its sidewalk– 32 to be exact. The Fashion Center’s Sidewalk Catwalk opened just yesterday featuring 32 mannequins decorated by some of city’s top fashion designers including Diane von Furstenberg, Betsey Johnson, Badgley Mischka, Thom Browne, Jason Wu, and many more. We took a trip to the heart of the Garment District to visit New York City’s latest public art exhibition, which extends from Herald Square to 42nd St
For as long as we can remember, Hollywood has been trying (unsuccessfully) to go back to it’s early days of glam and class. And although we can’t bring back Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, we can try to recreate their signature style. Luca Luca created their Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection based on the trademark tailored suit of the time, and the Spring 2010 Chanel runway looked like something Coco herself would wear. As for the makeup of the time, it always seems to feature three stunning
