2016 Grammy’s Best and Worst Dressed

The Grammy’s red carpet glittered in a prom-night fashion quite literally- there were cheap looking dresses, juniors department catastrophes, and gorgeous gowns.  The worst hair of the night? Zendaya’s mullet girl!  See my impersonation of Nene Leakes for Fashion Police’s take on the retro doo(doo).

Craig Green FW16: Mad For Muslin LFW Spring/Summer 2016

Craig Green’s Fall/Winter 2016 London Men’s Fashion Week Collection seemed to be a hogwash mishmash of muslin, prisoner uniform meets Adams family meets fashion school rendition of Edward Scissorhands. I wish there was some major editing because it’s more costume than fashion, even when trying to imagine the pieces as separates…

Ethics in Fashion: Labor and Environmental Concerns

The True Cost of Labor: In the past few years, we’ve heard of several buildings collapsing in India, as well as stories of workers being burned alive after having been locked inside factories that caught fire.  Underpaid, beaten, and forced to work in terrible conditions within dilapidated or unstructurally sound buildings, factory workers toil away…

The H&M Balmain Runway Show With Video

The H&M Balmain collaboration pieces range in price from $30-650.  I loved many of the looks, from the leather pants to those amazing vests and shirts: both the menswear and womenswear was on-point, and did evoke the Balmain aesthetic.  Bravo Olivier! Great jackets; boots I drooled over; faux furs; moto leather pants; the first jumpsuit I’d…

Saint Laurent SS16

I feel like I can hear Pauly Short.  I feel like I’m in Back to the Future.  Saint Laurent took us on a rock star bad trip through the 70’s and 80’s.   Polka dots, spiked leather jackets, lots and lots of plaid, tie-die, leopard, fringe jackets, denim vests, windbreakers in those wacky 80’s prints, and…

Balenciaga SS16

Balenciaga turned out a chic collection for Spring/Summer ’16, with luxe black, tan, brown, and gray separates: blazers, coats, cargo pants, skin pants, and great suits.

Kenzo SS16 Menswear

The Kenzo Spring/Summer collection featured textured knits, parachute inspired suits, shirts, sweaters, and jump-suits.  The “Pull” graphic t-shirt was a cute reference to the inspiration, as were the sweaters: I’m not sure about the suits though.  The palette included sand or khaki, gray, yellow, army green, burnt golden rod, hot pink & spearmint (drawstring sweaters), …

Gucci SS16 is Mr. Rodger’s Inspired?

Gucci lost me at hello.  I don’t know what this collection is about: I don’t get it, I don’t like it. Um…there’s a new neighbor, and he’s creeping me out with his ascots and PJ’s.  The 70’s, floral prints… the admittedly feminine fabrics still don’t translate into menswear for me.  The Gucci Man is a…

The Best of Resort 2016

Resort 2016 will allow you to express yourself in all of the fun trends.  We saw a lot of pastels, sheer meets opaque, cut outs, and prints- both bold and subtle.  Beautiful shirt dresses, a continuation of sleeveless outerwear and jackets, clear raincoats, and interesting silhouettes and proportions characterized the commonality of the collections. 70’s…
