First Look: Gilt Launches Jetsetter - Flash Sales for the World of Luxury Travel.

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:22:06 GMT

The genius brains behind the very successful Gilt Groupe realized that their audience, who snaps designer clothes and accessories within minutes of them going on flash sale, probably also travels to locations not less luxurious than the clothes they wear.

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:04:02 GMT

Although I've never been a huge fan of Lauren Conrad's fashion creations, I must admit the reality star turned designer has some business savvy - just a year after launching her own line she brings its affordable version to Kohl's. The line consists mostly of dresses, jeans, knits, and blouses, all retailing for $20-60 - a price point that suits Lauren's demographics much better than her first...

"It" Trend: Naomi Watts Rocks The Harem Dress.

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 16:35:08 GMT

This clothing creation Naomi Watts wore on the red carpet of the 57th San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain could be seen as a hybrid between harem pants, jumpsuit and a gown, so let's call it simply the Harem Dress. It's pretty natural evolution for the harem pants, which are in the peak of their western comeback now, to morph into a dress. Somehow the result is still shocking to our fashion sense...

We all love to see our Hollywood stars mixing up styles and trying new looks - after all every picture they take must be different.

That's why I was excited this week to accept an invitation to Donna Karan 's showroom in West Village, next to her Urban Zen store.

London Fashion Week Spring 2010: Creative vs. Bizarre.

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:36:42 GMT

What I love most about fashion is the fact that it's always about breaking the rules, from season to season. Many times the line between something normal and bizarre, as it perceived by the society, gets blurred. Although you can rarely see these cases on NY runways, preoccupied by the retail survival these days, London seems to be the capital of pushing limits. I collected few visuals that in ...
