Commence day two of our SEVEN DAYS OF SEVEN online store feature, and I felt it was appropriate to give our male readers something other than eye candy. Having seen this combination duffel/backpack in person (and been thisclose to purchasing it on multiple occasions), I will say that the photos do the fabric a disservice. [...]
As promised, the first installment of our SEVEN DAYS OF SEVEN! Knitwear junkies, behold the (unforgiving) versatility of Canadian designer Mark Fast, whose work is “formed onto the body as he knits,” according to his site. A lover of extremes, I either lean towards heavily draped layers or skintight “clothed nudity,” and a piece like [...]
Please fly as far under the radar as possible for fall. Keep your shirts white and your khakis crisper. Any individuality will be frowned upon. …Hahaha. Ew. Do people still dress like that? It’s pretty cringe-inducing that people were paying hundreds on ebay for some mass-market Donatella for H&M recently, instead of searching for vintage [...]

The singer’s look was just as iconic as her voice; a messy, slapstick flash/trash reinterpretation of classic girl group The Ronettes’ body-hugging [...]

Well, save for the notably successful Olsen sisters and Spice-Girl-cum-Fashion-Icon Victoria Beckham, most licensed ‘collections’ are down-market, lowest-common-denominator attempts to capitalize on the brand equity of a celebrity’s name. Not that I don’t [...]
The S/S ’12 season was all about high waisted shorts, revealing miles of legs, which will no doubt be your best accessory come spring. Nicolas Ghesquière showed a collection of shorts for Balenciaga that looked surprisingly dressed up and terribly chic. How’d he do it? He paired them with boxy, geometric tops in brilliant jewel [...]
For years, I have wondered what all the incessant fuss was about with respect to Prabal Gurung. Yes, his streamlined silhouettes have appeared on many a red carpet. Yes, American fashion magazines had an obvious love for his handsome visage and, well, his somewhat obvious, lady-like clothes. Oh, and there was that rather famous lady [...]
