Do you find the fashion photography from Maurie & Eve’s Spring 2008 collection as enchanting as I do? The soft sunlight makes these garments all the more beautiful. For all of you Australians, you’ll be pleased to know that Maurie and Eve is actually based in Sydney and can be found in most major cities. […]

Talk about an entertaining runway show! I must admit that I wasn’t too excited when I heard about the Project Runway challenge: create an over-the-top drag queen outfit. But when Chris March from Season 4 walked out (I just loved him) and the queens blew kisses, curtsied, and skipped down the runway I was secretly […]

Oh, this was a good one! This week on Project Runway the designers were challenged by Brooke Shields to create an outfit for her character, Wendy Healy, on Lipstick Jungle. As an avid Lipstick Jungle fan, this challenge was definitely up my alley because I watch the show for the sets (remember Victory Ford’s apartment?) […]

When high fashion meets professional sportswear, you get this…

Twelve fashion designers were commissioned by Lane Crawford, the Chinese luxury retailer, to design a uniform of their favorite sport. While they’re not exactly sport-friendly and aero-dynamic, these garments sure are beautiful. Perhaps a little on the fantasy side too like our Project Runwayers showed us last […]

Finally Bravo made me happy.
This week on Project Runway the designers were challenged by Apolo Ohno to create an opening ceremony outfit for the summer Olympics. This was by far the most interesting runway show so far this season. Lots of non-Olympic looks that would be terrible for the athletes but it was still […]

I’m loving J. Crew’s inspiration for their Fall 2008 line. It includes a mix of textured fabrics, cords, abstract florals, long Italian leather gloves, and rich autumnal hues of golds, pomegranate, bronze, and deep yellows. I’m glad they have stayed away from the charcoals and chocolates for the time being because I’m not quite ready […]

A whole gallery dedicated to fashion illustration? I’d like to make an appointment, please. William Ling launched FIG in London earlier this year (via Elle), focusing on the great works of Cecil Beaton, François Berthoud, Antonio, and Rene Gruau. I must admit that these names didn’t mean much to me until about a year ago […]

…except for the price. But it doesn’t mean that we cannot admire these silhouettes from L’Wren Scott, former model turned stylist. Sometimes simplicity and impeccable construction are just enough. I enjoyed reading about her small 47-guest show held at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery during Fashion Week — understated yet inherently glamorous just like her collection. […]

SPOILER ALERT: Come back after you’ve watched the episode…it’s a good one!
For the second episode of Season 5, our Project Runwayers were challenged to create a green cocktail dress for their clients — the models. Not only did they get creative input, but the models were sent off to Mood to purchase the eco-friendly fabric. […]

While window shopping over the weekend, I noticed a lot of navy. And I’m talking about the true dark blue NOT the borderline navy — the color that makes you guess whether it’s black or blue. It actually drives me a little nuts. But Nino Bauti’s color instinct is spot on in his spring summer […]
