Day 1 of LG Fashion Week I wore a one of a kind piece from the Spring 2008 Jeremy Laing. It was quite a hit at the Holt Renfrew Media Cocktail. I wore my Goffredo Fantini boots and some chunky bracelets, most of which are cheap except for the Marni one. images: Raymond Galsim, [...]

Couture and high end designer labels are all suffering due to the recession. Even the wealthy have stopped buying. But affordable luxury brands are doing quite well during the downturn. As wealthy consumers scale down, affordable luxury brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Tory Burch and Marni are expanding and increasing profits. It's all about quality, value -- and price, of course. Tommy Hilfiger just...

Jac leaves the Roberto Cavalli show in Milan Jac is already a huge force both on and off the runway. While only participating in runway shows in New York and Milan, she walked in nearly every key show in both cities (33 total shows): from Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta in New York to Prada and Gucci in Milan -- among the many. She also managed to really solidify her presence as a strong show Opener...

Milan Fashion Week, well it was Milan Fashion Week - classic and chic at its best and the rest does not really matter. Jil Sander's suits with the contrasting fabric on the upper body was probably my favorite feature of the runways. Marni did not feel super Marni to me [...] -> More info & pics for: Milan Fashion Week SS 2010 Runway Review

Milan had two faces last week: One was fresh, clean, and light — it is spring 2010, after all. Alberta Ferretti, Bottega Veneta, and Marni all used a light palette, clean design, and airy silhouettes to put us in the mood for a new decade. The other face, meanwhile, was decidedly more mod — sixties mod to be exact. Prada's Lucite-covered girls (from head to toe) very clearly showed that...

I haven't been following the fashion weeks too closely, but if you own a computer at all it's hard to miss pieces of the coverage. Just found these beauties over at Vanessa Jackman . Yasmin Sewill (far left) is no stranger to street style photography, of course. A regular on The Sartorialist, she's incredibly stunning, and very slowly I have begun amassing a small collection of her street style images...

Marni has unveiled a beautiful new handbag collection for spring/summer 2010 at its catwalk show at Milan Fashion Week. Shown off against some really quite lust-worthy legwear (digging those stripes) the stars of the show included a handbag that looked amuzingly like an oversized purse. I love design concepts that play with our existing ideas of shape and scale, so was particularly impressed with...

1. RISQUE SWIMWEAR Slashed fabric (see Emporio Armani, left) and strategic twists and ties (Emilio Pucci, right) made for some very sexy swimwear on the Milan runways. I wouldn't recommend wearing these against bare flesh. Layer over a bright one-piece or bikini, slip on a pair of shorts and slides, throw a woven beach basket over your shoulder and dunzo. You're THE hautest girl at the beach. >...

With runway regulars Raquel Zimmermann , Coco Rocha , and Catherine McNeil missing in action, Milan proved to be a battleground for the new class. After a breakout fall 2009 season, Russian model Jac opened for Bottega Veneta and Pucci , closed Gianfranco Ferré , and did both at Etro . Alla Kostromicheva was the first face at the Rami Fernandez and Maida Gregori Boina–cast Jil Sander...

Designers are in the midst of a heated argument at Milan fashion week-whether one should dress for sex or dress for abstinence in a global recession. Seems a fitting debate in a country where the famously womanizing Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Pope Benedict XVI are its two most powerful leaders On the celibate team sits Miuccia Prada, who practices restraint on a regular basis (well,...
