This past week, I was invited to preview the Ports 1961 Spring '10 collection. Yes, I had seen it on the runway during Fashion Week in NY, but it's always so much better to have a private viewing where you…

Citrus Colors Black, white, gray, and taupe made a starring role this season with many designers playing it safe, but for those who used color, bright orange and lemon yellow made the strongest statement. (Rosa Cha, below) Cropped Tops Unlike the lower-belly-baring looks of the late ’90s, these hearken back to the first half of that decade–think Kelly, [...]

... ince last Wednesday, I've gotten a little glimpse of life as a fashion editor in NY. Here's me at the tents before my first in-person fashion show, Ports 1961. I'm wearing a fitted Max Studio black dress I got from Bloomingdale's, black DKNY tights, Elizabeth and James pumps (wrote about those here), Marc Jacobs handbag, and a leather trench coat I got from The Limited 9 years ago. Before I dive...

Seems that they’re here to stay for another season, despite their difficult-to-wear silhouette. To best flatter your figure in harem pants, pair them with a close fitting top (for a small-over-big [...]

We hope you like hair gel, because spring hair looks like it was drenched in the goop: slicked back, poofed up, and generally wet to the touch. Marc Jacobs parted locks down the center and smoothed them down, while Zac Posen and Chado Ralph Rucci pulled manes back into tight updos. Jen Kao , rag & bone , and Cushnie et Ochs all went for the wet look, leaving tresses long and combed back with loads...

Filed under: The Fashion Statement To all the harem pants haters out there, I have some bad news for you. It's only halfway through New York fashion week and already one trend is crystal clear. Trouser drop-crotches are continuing their trajectory south with some now hovering around the knees. Crotches have been getting longer for a while now, but some are so low they almost look like skirts. Yigal...

Vests are a wonderful layering item for Spring (and Fall, for that matter, where they fit neatly under jackets and overcoats).

The season is just days in, and already prints are dominating the runway. But these aren't your usual plaids or polka dots. We're seeing great swathes of color akin to Van Gogh's Starry Night or, for a more sartorial reference, last season's Balenciaga prints. Charlotte Ronson mixed blue, pink, and black, while Nicole Miller swirled together earth tones. Cynthia Rowley and Cynthia Steffe used hues...
