Pre London Fashion Week. The kick off starts…

From mourning McQueen to super-slim models London gears up for its turn on the Fashion Week schedule… A week maybe a very long time in the world of fashion but much talk is centred around Mr. McQueen. The latest confirmation...

General Idea: Rock Out

Much ado about menswear. The General Idea presentation at Exit Art showed us a men's line that was two parts punk, one part glam, and early 1980s all over. A collection that to date has certainly piqued our interest as...

Richie Rich Amuse Runway Show: An Orchestra of Spectacle

Tibi: Smartly Cinched.

Tibi is for the young and carefree. See it in the fabrics choices: florals, sparkles, and plaid. See it in the models' styling: big "Felicity" curls, natural eyes, pale lips. See it even in the runway music: A pounding...

Odyn Vovk: One Wolf, One Look, And One Cranky Reporter.

Any show where the bouncer is thinner and more fashionable than I am sets me on edge, but I tried not to let that affect my opinion of Odyn Vovk’s Fall 2010 Collection. I’m fairly certain I failed. Odyn...

A Détacher: Lady Redneck.

The A Détacher brand marches to the beat of its own drummer. Designer Mona Kowalska's Fall/Winter 2010 RTW line is a welcome departure from the standard fashion week fare we've seen so far. Kowalska is beholden to no one besides her...
