Flounce and Frills at Anna Sui, So Why Is Everyone So Grumpy?

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:04:23 -0400

Fashion Week may be something that is supposed to have no rules, but the staff of Anna Sui still attempted to impose order on a lawless world after the designer's packed show Wednesday evening.

Ladies Retort With—Good Lord!—a $990 Cocktail Short

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:46:22 -0400

It used to be that if a grown woman were wearing shorts, it would be for purely utilitarian, counter-style moments: jogging, errands on a hot Saturday, a trip to the Laundromat. That is no longer the case.

There is the return of the ’60s high-waisted hot pants, sent down the runway this season by Erin Fetherston and L.A.M.B. There is the Bermuda short that reaches right above the...

Fri, 23 May 2008 16:37:48 -0400

Agyness Deyn just can't help keeping her face out of the news, even if it means reportedly losing a Burberry gig because of it. The gal that brought the bleached boy-cut back to the Lower East Side has been keeping busy shooting music videos, launching an acting career, and moving to Williamsburg!

Misshapes to Go Digital (Soon!)

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 12:03:14 -0500

The expansion and promotion of the Misshapes's je ne sais quoi continues apace. After months of planning, construction and a few obligatory hiccups, the downtown-dwelling, party-deejaying, trendsetting trio’s official Web site will launch, they say, as early as next week. The group hopes that by cutting the digital ribbon in the midst of all the mayhem at Bryant Park, the fashion-minded site can tap into the event's publicity machine.

Overheard at the Chopard party last night (but not by us!):

And although we love Lara's face and amazing body, let's face it:

If anyone can make...
