That's So New York - This Spring 2011 season proves to be colorful and exciting. We are seeing a rainbow of bright colors from almost every designer and after the drab winter season, how can anyone not be excited. While it all looks fresh and pretty on the runways, our screens and in the pages of magazines, the practical side of me asks:  Who is going to really be able to wear all this color well? Aside from a select group of very fashionable and sophisticated women, it may present a challenge. 

Do You Know When to Shoot? from Benjamin Kanarek Blog

What does he mean by "Do You Know When to Shoot"? Do you know when to do a fashion shoot?  This is a vitally important issue.  Because if you do not know when to shoot your fashion story, chances are you won't get the stylist, model, hair, make up artist or manicurist for your very important shoot.  Now most of us who have been in this business for some time know this to be true and have learn

The 68th Annual Golden Globes was one of the most enjoyable awards ceremonies that I have ever had the pleasure of attending. For the most part, I accredit that to host Ricky Gervais. His introductions did not let me down and neither did the fashion.

No need to take a vacation to wear a piece from a designer resort collection. Gone are the days where the high-class jet setters and socialites hopping on a plane to St. Tropez are the only ones to sport the “cruise” collections, says The New York Times. The reality is, customers now want to shop and wear their clothes whenever and wherever they desire. According the article, a resort collection, also known as a “pre

When you think of rats, certain things may come to mind—subway tunnels, animal-testing labs, the Black Death. Glamor probably isn’t one of them. Despite some less-than-pretty connotations, England’s Guardian newspaper is reporting that the hottest accessory for the coming winter season is, of all things, rat fur. Ick, right? Well, take a big breath, because we’

About a month ago now, I had contacted Hal Bastian, who is the Senior Vice President & Director of Economic Development for the Downtown Center Business Improvement District.

Retail Smart Guys is going to be working with him in some aspect (in fact, we are doing an event there on June 24, more on that soon…).

Hal invited us to take a tour of downtown LA that he does monthly. I signed up because I realized tha
