That picture of Anna Wintour in the snow had me thinking about her style. She has clearly found what works for her and each outfit is a variation on that theme. She usually wears a suit or a dress that is either slim or has a nipped in waist. Sometimes it’s a little sweater and […]
I’m beginning to think it’s a prerequisite for chic fashion designers to own fabulous flats in Paris. Or maybe living in the city of lights is what inspires them to create swoon worthy outfits every season. Erin Fetherston, like Marc Jacobs, has an apartment that I would love to live in. But I guess I’ll […]
One of my favorite collections from fashion week was definitely Erin Fetherston. There have been more times than I can count that I have had to pass on buying a dress because a designer decided to save a few dollars on fabric with a thigh high hemline but Erin has dropped hers to ladylike levels […]
Another review of the Fall 2010 collection by Marc Jacobs called it nostalgic. Which immediately made me nostalgic for Marc’s first Paris apartment that was also designed by Paul Fortune. Since I have no idea where my tear sheets for it have been filed, I was happy to find that Moodboard had scanned and posted […]
Marc Jacobs is getting rave reviews for his collection show Monday night. Some said it was serene while others accused it of being safe but sometimes you just want to look pretty and nice and not over the top, kind of like Marc’s Paris apartment. I’d be serene too if I lived in this fabulous […]
Jason Wu has been the darling of the fashion world since Michelle Obama wore one of his gowns to the inaugural balls last January and rightly so since it’s wonderfully talented. That also makes him on of the favorites of Vogue so it’s not surprising that he recently had his new showroom designed by Anna […]
There are occasionally moments in my life in New York when I feel like I want to pinch myself to make sure they are real and attending Carolina Herrera‘s Fall 2010 fashion show yesterday morning was one of them. It was definitely a dream come true and also one that didn’t disappoint. It’s one thing […]
Donna Karan‘s Fall/Winter 2010 collection that was shown on the runway yesterday reminded me a little of her apartment. It was mostly black with a little white and color thrown in for good measure. What’s that line about sticking with what you know? The fabulous textured coats make me wish they were in the stores […]
Looks like chic advertising isn’t just for the girls. Dunhill snapped British actor Jude Law for their Spring/Summer 2009 advertising campaign. So it’s a year old, I still have boys on the brain from yesterday’s post and who doesn’t enjoy a little man candy on a Monday morning! I’d much rather look at him than […]
I think it’s funny that Sophia Coppola’s line for Louis Vuitton debuted in March of last year and I’m just now noticing the advertising! I’ve seen a few images here and there and just found all the rest. I love how they don’t hit you over the head with the product. I wish all advertisements […]
Love Story author Erich Segal died this past Sunday. He wrote the rich boy falls in love with a poor girl novel while as a professor at Harvard. The movie version is one of the all time great tear jerkers. Just hearing the Henry Mancini score makes me want to cry! Sniff sniff. Although, it […]
A few weeks ago, I saw fashion designer Peter Som entering the D&D Building as I was leaving. Of course my curiosity was piqued. What was he doing there? Was he looking for inspiration for his upcoming fashion show? Was he redecorating his apartment? Luckily, my upholsterer, Matthew Haly, also happens to be Peter’s upholsterer […]
I love that the Sundance Channel acknowledges fashion week by scheduling fashionable films each spring and fall. This season, they kick off the week on September 9th with the documentary Somebody Told Me About…Carla Bruni. It started off as just a film about a model who makes a success of a singing career but turned […]
It was hot today in New York. Like Africa hot. But for me it’s too little too late. I’m over summer and have moved onto pre-fall. The new clothes are in the stores here and I’ve already been picking out what I want to buy for New York and my trip to Paris. There are […]
I think my favorite month for magazines has to be September since they are all devoted to fashion. In the case of Elle Decor, we get to peek into the stylish homes of some of the top fashion designers and executives. The living room above belongs to Robert Duffy, the President of Marc Jacobs International […]
I will be out at meetings and appointments the entire day so I am leaving you with photos from fashion designer Derek Lam‘s chic Soho loft recently published in Bazaar. It’s close to his soon to open new boutique on Crosby Street which I can’t wait to check out. I’ve always had an affinity for […]
I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about the stylish new documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor and now it’s finally about to make it’s theatrical debut this Wednesday, March 18th in select cities. Andre Leon Tally, the style scribe and editor at large of Vogue will be on hand at the Film Forum March 19th […]
