Fashion Trends in NYC

A Heads Up On Style In The First City of Fashion

London, Paris and Milan – European cities whose bias toward their own designers often results in little mention of emerging U.S talent. New York; a hot-bed of textiles talent and home-grown designers aka Michael Kors and Donna Karan. When it comes to fashion forwardness, Europe lags considerably in the futuristic department. Versace and Dior are known for their flowing classic cuts and bohemian trends, yet rarely do the houses showcase street-style – probably one of the most defining fashion trends of the 21st Century. Conversely, New York is also affiliated ...continue reading

The Brooklyn Boutique Club

Casey — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 13:00:13 +0000

When I first moved to Brooklyn Heights in 2005, I didn’t realize how much I would fall in love with this gem of a neighborhood. Brooklyn Heights is home to the Promenade (with the best views of Manhattan this side of private helicopter rentals), beautiful architecture, a variety of movie theaters, bookstores, great restaurants, and multiple subway lines (which always comes in handy when the MTA decides to close or detour pretty much every train you want to take in a single weekend). But one thing I was not expecting when I headed across the bridge from Manhattan was the treasure ...continue reading

Fashion Week To Move?

Yelena Mandenberg — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:50:38 +0000

It has been rumored that organizers of New York fashion week are going to announce that next year, Fashion Week will be moving from Bryant Park (where Fashion Week has been held for the last 15 years) to Lincoln Center.

Apparently, park management has been complaining for years about the invitation-only shows had grown too large and were restricting access to the park. Although Fashion Week was welcomed in 1993, when it started, there have been many clashes between Fashion Week organizers and the park’s management company.

The problems escalated in 2006 when the Bryant Park Corporation announced it would no longer allow ...continue reading

Runaway Reviews

Yelena Mandenberg — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:14:59 +0000

Vera Wang Dark was light and airy at Vera Wang’s runway show as the designer celebrated the midnight hour. The collection was an exploration of black as more than just a color, but rather its inherent texture, volume, composition and sensibility. Wang illustrated a dark romance, roughing up her scalloped organza and wool crepe gown with a slight, disheveled touch. Jet black tulle and feathers felt playful, while long gloves and bold, detailed shoulders were sophisticated and powerful. While glamorous to the end, Wang did tone down the opulence, opting for black twill jackets and baggy trousers. Clean lines, blazers and ...continue reading

Yelena Mandenberg — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 17:51:59 +0000

The associate press reports:

LONDON – A bereaved Alexander McQueen left a note, then hanged himself in his apartment on the eve of his mother’s funeral, a coroner’s inquest said Wednesday, giving the cause of the fashion designer‘s death as asphyxiation and hanging.

The inquest has yet to formally deliver a ruling of suicide, but police said there were no suspicious circumstances.

Coroner’s official Lynda Martindill told the inquest at Westminster Coroner’s Court that the body of 40-year-old McQueen was found in an armoire at his London apartment on Thursday. In the dispassionate language of the inquest, she referred to him as “a single ...continue reading

Yelena Mandenberg — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 21:08:39 +0000

Every woman loves to buy lingerie … there’s no better feeling on earth than new bras and panties, even if you don’t have anyone to wear them for but yourself. But lingerie can get expensive… so you have to know where to shop!

Conway

They also have teddys in any and every style ...continue reading

PETA And Weatherproof Ads To Stay Up

Yelena Mandenberg — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 20:55:14 +0000

Both PETA and Weatherproof recently put out ads featuring the first couple without their permission, and even though the White House was upset… the ads will most likely stay up.

PETA president Ingrid Newkirk told Robin Givhan of the Washington Post:

“We got a call from the White House counsel’s office,” Newkirk says. “We said to them, we’re not selling a coat, only an idea that glamorous beautiful women who you look up to don’t wear fur. . . . We’re honoring her. Lawyers are lawyers, but PETA is honoring her fashion sense.” So there.

“PETA is an advocacy organization and can claim to ...continue reading
