After NYFW is over, now is the time to choose our best top looks from the all shows:

1. Bucker : Like the whole clean cut.
2. Marc By Marc Jacob: What else can i say?
3. Tommy Hilfiger: Modern American Classic Collection.
4. Richard Chai: The Real StreetStyle.
5. Band of The Outsiders: Great Sportwear Collection.
6. Michael Kors: Love the hobo look.

Steven Cox and Daniel Silver's Collection fulled of prints (check out that leopard print), neon colour, and oversized jacket/shirt. It is nice to see something unconventional, but does it wearable? Only the brave one who can wear those prints or turbans (it is fresh to see on boys head) without being the spotlight!!

The most wearable piece in my mind are those gray suite and the brown shoes are just great!!

Even With only 2 or 3 basic colours, Elie Tahari could made a great men's collection for this spring 2011. Some people may say it is a boring collection, but wait till you see the whole collection. The clean cut n the earth colour (alot of soft brown, gray, and a pop of blue) still can be wearing over and over again for a long time. The best accesory? The brown shoe is the timeless piece!!

It is a collection for grown up man!

Billy Reid was one the many designer who open the first day of New York Fashion Week (9 Sept' 2010). Inspired by his hometown Louisiana, this spring collection is all about semi formal /preppy look. Rolled up pants, vintage inspired suspender, classic cardigan, and tennis shoe, it feels like back to college in 50 or 60's with a litte modern twist. Alot of white, gray, brown, and dark blue are the colours that dominate the collection.

Although it's kinda semi formal look, where you can mean busine

“I want to do plus sizes. Great opportunity. Need to get the customersinterested. They dont buy our 14 and 16′s I always get stuck with them.” That was the tweet that started it all. Marc Jacob’s business partner Robert Duffy (aka @MarcJacobsInt in the Twitter world) revealed last week the fashion house’s possible plus-sized collection. (more…)

Sixty-four percent of American women are over a healthy BMI range, more than one-third are categorized as obese…you’ve heard it all before, and thanks to The New York Times, you’re hearing it again. Sure, Saks Fifth Avenue is saving spots for sizes 14 and up come fall, but is the high-end fashion world really ready to accommodate plus-sized beauties? Considering that plus-sized clothes only account for 18% of total revenue, and more than half of women in the St

Talk about your self-made men—though Alexis Bittar’s parents were professors, the now well-respected, highly successful jewelry maker never even graduated high school. Makes your Parsons
degree seem a little pointless, hunh? Just kidding. In any case, Bittar tells the videographers over at Vogue Italia that his real education in fashion came from his folks, who…

Hip, sexy, talented, and, apparently, quite the comic interlocutor, Brooklyn-based designer of Navajo-inspired cloaks and all manner of 21st-Century Earth Mother wear, Lindsey Thornburg offered up her various opinions of the fashion Internets to The Contributing Editor. Yes, as an up-and-coming designer she loves it. Yes, by the same rationale, she hates it. But at the end of the day, it’s all about the Benjamins. “I love how you can really do some solid background checks on possible love intere

No one likes a double-dipper—especially where recessions are concerned. And sadly, during this economic slump, it’s no surprise that retailers are taking a hit. But, future store owners, this could be your time to strike. As the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, open the best boutique ever… or something like that. (more…)

J.W. Hulme Co. bags will be carried in more than 30 Barneys New York stores around the country by mid August. But, it was not long ago when Hulme designers Chuck Bidwell and Jennifer Guarino were on the verge of going under. The 105-year-old company was about $2 million dollars in debt during the credit crisis and lost majority of their sales. The Wall Street Journal revealed today how even in this tough economy, this moribund company was able to make a startling comeback.

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!

As New Yorkers, we’re no strangers to zero privacy. Our apartment wallsare paper-thin and sometimes morning rush hour subway makes us feel likewe’re in a toothpaste tube, but we put up with it for the sake ofliving in this mad, wonderful city of ours. However, there are somethings that can get a bit too close for comfort— and they come from themost unexpected source. Many resort to online shoppingbecause it guarantees privacy and, we assume, no judgment by nosycashiers or pushy salespeople. We e
