cute as a pixie market

Lower East Side retailer, Pixie Market, has got the cool downtown girl down. Sometimes she wants to be girly, sometimes edgy, but never so overboard that it looks any bit contrived. Sounds like a promo, but really Pixie Market has worked hard to keep the indie vibe going featuring young designers and new labels that keep the styles fresh. Now Pixie Market is bicoastal and online with their L.A. store and e-shop. The batwing lace top is perfect for the fall lace trend.Pixie Market NYC100 Stanton

Luxury Fashion Spotlight 2008

Despite a soft economy, fashion brands are still launching high-end goods that command prices of $10, 000 and beyond. With all the concern over consumer spending, inflation, and soaring gas and oil prices, many consumers are scaling back. On one hand, Apparel Search is hearing about a return to the classics and "seasonless" collections that can effortlessly allow fashionistas to move from one season to another. On the other hand, we're hearing about over-the-top excessive luxury items that boas

One of the most common difficulties I run across in my dealings with fashion designers is that a fancy website with clean graphics and a hip layout really does nothing for generating online apparel or accessory sales or attracting site visitors. Therefore, it’s important to really understand how a website attracts traffic. Some of this is a bit technical, but I’ve tried my best to make it as understandable as possible.Method 1: Search engine traffic. This refers to traffic as a result of typing

A Masterpiece in Mass Production

The industrial revolution has brought the advantages of mass production to many industries. In high fashion the emphasis remained on creative designs and skilled craftsmanship. Ready-made garments started becoming popular and more accepted only when clothes-making machines advanced. However, the complete artistic freedom enabled by custom-made designs is still favored by many. I suppose that, I too, would love all my clothes to be masterpieces created by the spark of inspiration and perspiration

About the Show:The Jewelry Connection is a concept born of the love and appreciation Mona Hair has for her fellow artisan jewelry designers. She states, "To create with the intention that the world will in some way be more beautiful for that effort is a noble endeavor, for what brings forth hope more succinctly or profoundly than beauty. Thousands of heretofore unknown or barely known artists are involved in this very effort every day. I want to know them, I want to record someplace that they we

Mum's The Word: Jane & Lou

With mother’s day just a playful hop skip and a jump away, the intricacies of maternal love have consumed me. Yummy mummies have become a resilient fashion fad, but they rarely depict real life relationships between a mother and a child. The fascinating relationship between mother and daughter is a deeper connection that cannot be depicted by gloss and pap-snappy cameras. It is a connection that is formed at birth and the strongest of any woman’s natural instincts.One woman that defines this uni

His influence: immense. YSL changed the way women dressed; creating pant suits and trench coats and of course the iconic “Le smoking” tuxedo jacket. He made high fasion accessible to the masses

Hello there again my lovely fashionistas, As all of you are part of the fashion industry, I'm sure your realize the importance of the 'trend-potential' element when designing/creating a fashion.* As creators, you'd want everyone to wear/use your fashion, which gives it some sort of validity ( that does NOT apply to crocs). If it becomes a trend- It's cool, it's funky, everyone's wearing it.**The fashion trend, i.e. the overwhelming use and popularity of a specific style, is your personal stamp o

How amazingly hot are these shoes?

Ok, so if you haven't noticed yet... I LOOOOOVE MARC JACOBS!! I think he is pure genius! Anyway, I think these shoes are absolutely amazing. I don't know how new they are but it doesn't even matter. These are selling for $287 on Zappos. Is this too much for shoes? I am a firm believer that if you pay alot, you get alot. I've bought $6 pumps and let me tell you, they felt like $6 pumps.

New York Sass

Sass and Bide’s latest show was a celebration of colour and life. Bryant Park, New York played host to this dynamic duo’s latest offering. Tie dye, sequins and fish nets would merely scratch the glittery surface. There were the usual embellishments – ruffles and ribbons, with a touch of metallic masculinity to tone the random Skittles colour palette.The “other” Hilton sister was present "I'm a big fan of the line," said Hilton. "I think they have great pieces that are very wearable, sparkly and

Fashion Design Contestants Beware
