General Idea Fall 2010 Collection
Bumsuk Choi’s Fall 2010 Collection for General Idea delivered some exquisitely tailored, classic pieces with just enough edge (think destroyed jeans, black leather, and fishnet knits) to keep its young, modern clientele satisfied. While the show got off to a, well, rather dark and monotonous start – about 11 black or mostly black looks – […]
Fashion Live: The Bloggers Were Only the Beginning
While some brands are still noticeably absent from the conversations taking place online, the walls surrounding direct communication are slowly coming down at the highest levels.
Trend/Treat/Treasure: Retro Cameras
It seems that the Polaroid is officially back. With Lady Gaga on board as creative director, the fashion favorite is among many retro cameras making a comeback. We’ve seen this little guy, the Fujifilm Instax Mini, all over the place – including at Urban Outfitters and on gift lists over at Lucky Magazine. Yup, this […]

The new collection in menswear from Martyn Bal {Swipelife} features styles similar to what we are seeing in other fall […]
Alexander McQueen: 1969-2010, Already Missed Terribly
In an awful piece of fashion news, reports of Alexander McQueen’s death have been confirmed by his company. Barely a month shy of his 41st birthday, the British designer known for his wonderfully eccentric designs – most recently towering rounded front high heels worn by Lady Gaga, Kelis and other stars who push the fashion […]
DKNY Men’s Fall 2010 Collection: Classic, Rugged, Versatile
The DKNY Men’s Show held last night at the Breslin Bar and Dining Room in New York City was quite an event. Not your typical runway show as the room was thick with models sitting on couches, posing, socializing and even noshing on fancy silver-plated hors d’oeuvres. While we love the spectacle of a runway […]
The Good & Bad of Buzz
Assuming you check your email and Twitter as obsessively as we do (come on – it’s a snow day – what else are you doing?), we’re sure you’ve heard the buzz on Buzz – Google’s latest attempt to break into the world of social networking. So far, Buzz has its proponents – according to one […]
