Oftentimes I am ambivalent about a new Chanel collection. There are always a ton of looks (60+ per show easily); and while I can aesthetically appreciate Mr. Lagerfeld's endless permutations on the classic Chanel silhouette, said silhouette is really only flattering on ladies with little or no bosom, which makes it of little or no use to me when ( Read more... )

Now then, if you would kindly have these charged to my account and shipped 'round to my suite at the Ritz...?

Morning, or rather afternoon, folks! I just woke up a short time ago, and while enjoying a peanut butter sandwich and a cup of tea, I've been Twittering about the latest Menswear collections out of Milan to help get the old brain to moving. Much as I adore my Parisian couture, there is a special place in my heart for menswear because, let's face ( Read more... )

Alright, so judging from the comments to our last fashion update, we all seem to be in agreement that the London shows were disappointing. I did the best I could to root out interesting pieces to share, but the truth is, the designers didn't give me much to work with! Happily, the Milan collections bring us sophistication, impeccable construction ( Read more... )

Oh London...why must you be so difficult? I know your design aesthetic is supposed to be 'edgy' and 'experimental'; but I must admit that more often than not, I just do not get it. Invariably I have more difficulty finding pieces that I like in the London shows than in those of the other cities we visit during Fashion Week. This season was ( Read more... )

Yes, yes, I know--late, late, late! It really is difficult to keep up with these things sometimes, alas. I think it was worth waiting for, though! This last batch of my picks from NY Fashion Week contains most of my favorite NYC-based designers ( Read more... )

Alright, then! Let us do this thing. The rest of my NYC highlights in two giant batches, minus commentary since I think for the most part the fashion can speak for itself, yes? Anyway, we can save the discussion for the comments ;) Onward!
