For her debut collection, Erin Barr was inspired by Marilyn Monroe. But while looking at the Wisconsin-born designer‘s Spring/Summer 2013 presentation, you won’t find the media-adored, glammed-up version of Monroe. Instead, you’ll discover the iconic bombshell as she is off the set and in her own clothes. About these ads Continue reading »
When my invitation to Rochambeau‘s Spring/Summer 2013 presentation arrived in the mail, I was ecstatic. Ever since I reviewed their fall/winter collection, I have been greatly anticipating what was in store for the menswear brand’s take on spring and summer. The duo behind the label, Laurence Chandler and Joshua Cooper, presented their ever-moody masterpieces at Milk Studios in New … Continue reading »

I didn’t expect to get much because of the time, and I was right. Found a few good … Continue reading »

We’ve already bookmarked lots of ideas from the runways to try on our own, but Prabal Gurung’s “bloody” mani is at the top of our list for Halloween. It’s creepy, but chic.
