When I first saw Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2010 Collection, my first thought was, “Wait, is this a resort collection?” All the bright prints, lipstick red sunglasses, and floral accessories half made me feel like I was chilling in the Caribbean. But as I flipped through the slides, I realized that what you see is definitely not what you get. More »

Fall 2010 is looking beautiful for Topshop. Looking at this coming season’s campaign photographed by Josh Olin, I am kicking myself for living on the wrong coast. (The one and only Topshop location in the US is in NYC.) The trends that seem apparent to me seem to be a cross between hiker and bohemian, with a touch of darkness — just pay attention to the black and the spikes detailing. Here’s just a few of the looks that I am loving: More »

As much as I wish I could say that I was around on Thursday afternoon when the grand master of fashion himself, Karl Lagerfeld, was shooting the Fall 2010 Chanel campaign, I wasn’t. So disappointing. Luckily, that’s what digital cameras and Twitter are for! More »

Now that the fashion weeks in the international “fashion capitals” (New York, London, Milan, Paris) have finished, Japanese designers are ready to show their Fall collections in Tokyo. Although Japan Fashion Week has grown to become a big production inside the country, it still hasn’t garnered the same caliber of attention that the other international shows have. Internationally-known Japanese designers, such as Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons, show at the Big 4 fashion weeks and not in Tokyo. More »

On Tuesday, Chanel showed their Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection in Paris. Karl Lagerfeld always dreams up an elaborate setting for his runway (past seasons have included a farm, a merry-go-round, and a larger-than-life-sized Chanel handbag), and this season was no different; models walked around a giant iceberg in a shallow pool of water — that’s right, they got the clothes wet!

Like many of the other Fall collections that we’ve seen so far, Chanel had tons of fur incorporated into the designs, but all of the fur that came down the iceberg runway was faux! More »

Things you’ll never see on a Rad Hourani line: gender specificity, colors that aren’t black and buttons. Those things are the elements to what I call a perfect unisex line. Or things I’m wishing to do away with in my wardrobe, just to try something new. What I love most about Rad Hourani’s Fall 2010 line is that it the clothes look very fluid and transformable — you never know where one piece ends and one begins. It’s both a treat and a mystery for people observing Rad’s clothes. Some of my fave looks: More »

Tuesday evening’s Thuy show had some great, classic fall pieces mixed with a few unconventional elements. The first look down the runway was a bright red dress with what looked like fur tubes over the hands. Interesting… More »

I was really excited to see the Twinkle by Wenlan collection this season, and it really didn’t disappoint. I love Twinkle because it is always a little edgy, but still something that you can see on the runway and say to yourself “I’d walk out of here wearing that right now.” Wenlan Chia knows how to make fashion fun and approachable.
