I was lucky enough to go to the Heatherette show at Mercedes-Benz Spring '08 LA Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios (wow, that's a mouth full) last night. The buzz about the LA shows is always so faint compared to the hoopla that surrounds the bigger shows around the world, but I couldn't have had a better … [Read more...]

October 10, 2007 By Leave a Comment
Paris Fashion Week was pretty exciting this year, and John Galliano really did it up. Of course. But flashiness aside, in the midst of all the eye candy were pretty, wearable pieces in gorgeous colors. I want! I had to show you, so here's a glimpse: Source. … [Read more...]

Rihanna Walks for Dsquared
September 28, 2007 By 6 Comments
Here's Rihanna walking at the Dsquared show in Milan yesterday. Who knew she was so tall? Or maybe Dan and Dean Caten are just really short? I have to say it was nice to see a substantial leg strutting the catwalk for once--some of those other models look like their stems could break by the power … [Read more...]

It left some people, like Victoria Beckham for instance, pretty confused: Oh, just look at her, poor Posh is beside herself. And that … [Read more...]

Diane Von Furstenberg The queen of the flattering dress has done it again. This time around, there was hardly a signature wrap dress in sight, though, and the replacements were super delish. The looks were ladylike and ultra-chic, of course, and the colors were fresh and unexpected, muted … [Read more...]

Celebs who showed: Terry Hatcher (duh!) Runway Trends: high-waisted pants, glen plaid, … [Read more...]
Fashion Week Spring ’08
September 6, 2007 By Leave a Comment
Fashion Week is on, and day one is over. What I love so far is the emphasis on the waist mainly because that's my best feature, and women like me deserve a little reprieve after the hip-focused multi-year fashion phase we've had to endure. Sheesh. I also love the sleeves-with-interest trend that's … [Read more...]
