LFW: Mulberry’s Going to the Country
With blacks and olives as the dominant shades as well as sparks of green and lavendar here and there, Mulberry’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection, presented with a backdrop of shrubs, certainly looked like it was inspired by the English countryside.

Earthy Green Woodstock Chic and Glitter at Anna Sui
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Anna Sui‘s Fall/Winter 2011 collection says several things, including Woodstock Chic and shimerly shine.

On Using Non-Models at Fashion Shows
Last week was New York Fashion Week. While most shows featured tall, slim and young professional models, Ann Taylor chose to use its employees.
