Margi Kent arrives to NY. Putting on the Ritz.
Overheard at Margi Kent’s runway show: “Oh my god, that is so 1995.” “No, it’s worse. It’s so 2001.”
Kent knows how to throw a runway show. If only the line itself was as much fun, but that's not...
The Art of Appearances and why the City is hooked.
They say one should never judge a book by it’s cover but we're afraid that’s just wishful thinking. The truth is one is judged, scrutinized, eyeballed and mentally finger printed by the way they present themselves to society. Of...
Nolcha-“They’re like a Gossip Girl version of a Lieber bag,”
Rolling in two hours late to the Nolcha retail store, I immediately regretted spending so much time at my previous engagement, the shop was full of attractive, well-accessorized people, and I was quickly adopted by two friendly, flamboyant men. One...
Fixx samples the crowd and the clothes at Eco Vert Fashion Show
Pushing through the barrel-chested, protein shake consuming, nine to five, wall street finance puppies to get to an open bar is never fun. Delta Iota Kappa heads covered in gel, pomade, and perfume could be heard using bro-speak with...
Bagtrends Green Army Party.
I don’t know what you think about when you think “green fashion,” but when I agreed to go to the Bagtrends.com Green Arm Candy Party, I was expecting a lot of almost trendy, almost well-dressed vendors ready with spiels...
Fixx hangs out with John Varvatos.

Catharine Malandrino gives you cameo.
“Could you please check with the store manager?” I asked as the door to Catherine Malandrino’s Soho boutique was firmly shut in my face. I forlornly pressed up to the glass and cried, “We’re press!” The male model/gatekeeper then...
Berlin. The Place to Be for Fashion?
The New Museum started its three day span of events on Tuesday night, March 31st, making the bold declaration that Berlin is “The Place to Be.” Their argument is that this city’s fashion, film, art and design ideas are...
Dressed to the hilt.
Monday night and Manhattan society has retired to the annals of Scottish meadows, bag pipes and a plethora of single malts. Whether by design or madness it seems everyone who has ever been a film star, is a film...
Omar Vega: No Love Lost.
When you first meet Omar Vega the first thing he is apt to do is count the number of steps separating you between him and you, the types of shoes you are wearing, whether you slouch, slink like a...
The English Invasion arrives at Tribeca Grand.
The English have always been known for their tea, stiff upper lip, dry wit and all things pertaining to high fashion. Wednesday night saw us pay homage to the revelry over at the Tribeca Grand as Jason Caine of...
A night out with Bergdorf Goodman. Bonne travaillez Joseph Scheer.
