The Fall/Winter 2012 collections will be presented between February 9 and 16. Once again, many designers will be streaming their shows online so that those of us who can’t be in New York will be able to watch. Online shows, which include BCBGMaxAzria, Rebecca Minkoff, Carolina Herrera and Badgely Mischka will be streamed on the […]
If you think “standards” in North America are too thin, you’d be in for a shock when if you compare yourself to this chart from Korea (note: everything is in metric, in increments of 2 cm and height is roughly 5′ to 5’7″), which I discovered while reading a post from Bread, Butter and Champagne. […]
Well, it’s that’s a wrap. The Spring/Summer 2012 collections are now over and boy, it was an amazing week. A new location which takes us back tents gave it more of a fashion week feel. Of course, accessibility for those who take public transportation this time around was better as well – the location was […]
People seem to be very positive about Vogue Italia‘s choice of celebrating curvier women with three non-standard sized models on their latest cover. While this is certainly a good thing, I feel that it is more of a gimmick. Vogue will go right back to using tall, impossibly thin girls (yes, they’re girls, not women) […]
I really don’t understand when some so-called fashionistas complain about magazines using celebrities instead of models on covers and inside of magazines. They often say that celebrities “aren’t models” and therefore don’t deserve to be in magazines. They believe that putting, say, Eva Longoria, on the cover of Vogue is done only in the name […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz The 1970s ruled once again Thursday at the presentation of Son Jung Wan’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection. This cool, winter-inspired collection had a colour palette of grey as well as mauve, lavendar and just a hint of fall camel. 1970s-inspired wide-legged pants, long, flowing skirts and draping fabrics, as well as shine and glitter were […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz The theme for Herve Leger by Max Azria’s Fall/Winter 2011 line was “The Glamazon” according to pre-show interviews. Not straying too much from past collections of uber-tight dresses, Fall/Winter 2011 consisted of a great deal of bling and shine. Unlike many other collections, there is an emphasis of showing off the knees, […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz At Cynthia Rowley’s show Friday, green was definitely not absent. Half of her collection for Fall/Winter 2011 had at least some elements of the colour. In addition, many of the pieces truly had a cold weather vibe to it, as it appeared to be made from velvet from the perspective of an […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz The woman who graced the No-Anorexia ad in 2007 has died from complications of the very disease. Isabelle Caro, 28, appeared in the above ad which coinicided with Milan Fashion Week that year. Once again, critics are blaming the fashion industry for promoting the disease and are ranting about how size zero […]
Sarah Stevenson The studio was transformed into a garden for the first show of the day. Sarah Stevenson’s namesake line was presented with light French music playing in the background and with models in a collection that is full of lady-like floral dresses (mostly in creams, though there was also one which was dominated by a green) and […]
