Embrace your inner Courtney Love (without the dodgy pictures)…

The Lady will be nothing but a lady in this outfit…

Fancy taking the block colours to t

For all the confusion, various levels of organization, and free cocktails, lasts year’s Fashion’s Night Out was, by any measure, a success—particularly considering it was the first year of questionable purpose an event involving dozens upon dozens of stores, hundreds of brands, and thousands of attendees spread
hither and yon across New York City. Personally, we dug it. Now, this of September 10th it’s back for more. Brace yourself!

While we were enjoying Pulino’s pizza and brews at the preview of the new Rag & Bone store on Houston last night (more on that later), Diane von Furstenberg, Norma Kamali, and Prabal Gurung
were getting real with New York Times scribe Eric Wilson in front of a paying audience for the latest edition of the newspaper’sTimes Talks series at the beautiful The Times Center just across from the picturesque Port Authority Bus Terminal. Given the reports leaking out on v

Know what? Maybe Sex and the City 2 was onto something. Although a particular scene in the last part of the movie made us gag (don’t worry—we won’t spoil anything), the flick did have a meaningful message: Fashion is universal.

For the next few months, New York City’s Midtown will have a few new residents on its sidewalk– 32 to be exact.

Welcome to another edition of Flea Bites, where we take you into the best flea markets around New York City and the independent designers, sellers, and tastemakers who keep them running. Today, we introduce you to designer Sara Keiser who caught our eye at The Market NYC on Mulberry Street with her deconstructed collection of colorful accessories and dresses, Box 185.

store, Decadestwo, re-sells designer items
