Model of the Moment: Daul Kim
2007-05-09 22:06:00 Thanks to Hint Mag for bringing our attention to the deliciously crazy Daul Kim. This young Korean model walked in the shows from NY to Milan last season. (How cute is she clowning around backstage at Diane von Furstenburg?!) Want a little insight into the model life? Why not check out Daul's blog, "I Like to Fork Myself," where she goes by the handle Daulmonster. If anything, Daul is the More About: Model , Moment
Who's that man? Mystery Marc with Winona at the Costume Institute's Gala
2007-05-08 19:09:00 Gasp! (Rachel grabs her chest) I did a double--no, a triple take on this one. First at the fact that Marc Jacobs looks tanned, shorn, and elegant. Then because Winona Ryder looks okay in a dress from his collection that I really didn't like on the runway in New York. Jacobs has asked his team to fashion this one in all black, a much better combination. Though is it just me or does the velvet More About: Costume , Mystery , Gala
Vogue's 10 Best Dressed, Alexandra Kotur is blind (or stupid)
2007-03-20 10:43:00 Apparently all you have to wear to get noticed by Style.com these days is a lunch lady's uniform and a mangey fox. Yeech! It would appear that Dame Wintour has more issues to deal with other than what to call her new blogs. She needs to keep a closer eye on Alex andra Kotur's bad taste.

New behind the scenes photos on Flickr: Croatian photo shoots!
2007-03-12 17:15:00 Finally back in Prague. Whew! We had a long week in Croatia but in the end we met so many amazing people and ate so much incredible food. Check out my photos from behind the scenes on the island at Flickr here. More About: Photo , Photos , Behind The Scenes
Stranded in paradise: photo shoots on Vis, Croatia
2007-03-08 15:06:00 You may be wondering where in the world I've been. Well Vis, Croatia to be exact. Last week a group of us from the Czech magazine world piled into cars and drove/ferried down to the tiny island of Vis, in the Adriatic. Conde Nast Traveller calls Vis "Capri, before the crowds." It's truly stunning, though it's been raining for the past two days so we've only finished one shoot. If you've been More About: Photo , Paradise , Para , Photo Shoot
International Flair without the Roundtrip Ticket: Opening Ceremony, NYC
2007-03-08 12:56:00 Still drooling over all the fashions that recently graced the catwalks from New York to Milan? While a piece of Alexandre Herchcovitch's runway collection may be out of your reach, the rest of his collection may be more closer to hand than you might think. Enter the genius that is Open ing Ceremony! One of New York's hidden gems, the store is in the small triangle of Manhattan where Soho and More About: International , National , Inter , With
Star Style: Nelly Furtado does a red carpet fashion "Don't"
2007-02-28 03:05:00 Where there's a good (as in the earlier Lindsay Lohan post) there's a bad and today's Star Style decodes a good look gone wrong. Robyn of Celebrity Dirty Laundry tipped me off on this shot of Nelly Furtado at the Grammy's. This outfit illustrates one point perfectly: Why stars should use stylists for red carpet events. Let's pretend that Nelly did hire a stylist (me). What would I tell her? More About: Fashion , Red Carpet
Men In Heels: The Next Big Thing?
2007-02-27 12:53:00 On a recent trip trolling through the Style.com fashion forums, I came across something different. A man who actually wanted to incorporate high heels as an acceptable male fashion trend. We have come to love P. Diddy and his bling, Johnny Depp for his long hair, and the Coach men's tote line. So what about stilettos? Men in heels has been part of high society ever since the 1500's when riding More About: The N , Next , Thing , Heels
Stylebites on Iqons, social networking for the fashion industry
2007-02-27 01:39:00 Extending the fashion/beauty community even further, Iqons is a networking site for industry professionals (and I bet a few enthusiasts lurking as well). Though I think we've all hit our saturation with social networking, Iqons does offer a pretty cool layout, with your "friends" rotating each time your page is refreshed. Pretty cool, no?

2007-02-26 23:52:00 Academy Awards time again, just in time for high schoolers everywhere to feed their prom fantasies with the good and the bad of Hollywood glam.

Celeb Style: Lindsay Lohan does Starbucks
2007-02-21 23:00:00 I have a terrible secret to share, are you ready? I love Lindsay Lohan 's style. Okay, okay, so we all know that she uses Rachel Zoe as her stylist so I guess that's where the kudos should be directed but whoever deserves them, la Lohan is doing something right. I'm going to decode her look for you but first I have to pull out that ol' soap box. Here's the thing. Every month, as a fashion editor, More About: Celeb , Style , Starbucks , Star
Leading fashion stylist and european trend observer Bruno gives us the late
2007-02-20 09:44:00 Rumor had it that Austrian fashion guru Bruno was going to grace us with his presence at Fashion Week in NYC. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and the world is left wondering, how will we all make it through another day without the definitive word on style and good taste? If you've been feeling this absence as well, why not check out the video clip below. I just have one thing to say about it: More About: Europe , Euro , European , List
From board games to Jane Birkin, Stylebites interviews fashion designer Jas
2007-02-20 08:15:00 When I met up with Jason at the Domino - Brizo after party at Ian Schrager's Gramercy Park Hotel, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd seen his videos and watched him finish up his work backstage before the show but still I didn't know what kind of person he would really turn out to be. Instead of brushing me off with a quick interview full of ready-made answers, Jason sat down with me for over 20 More About: Design , Views , Fashion , Games , Interviews
Style in the Suburbs, "Back to Kansas... er, Philadelphia Toto!"
2007-02-19 22:15:00 City living has always been associated with style and glamor, while the suburbs have usually been reserved for the more mundane and less spirited folks. It would be hard to imagine Carrie Bradshaw frolicking around a suburban town looking for the nearest WiFi cafe, clad in her five-inch heeled Manolo's, a ballerina’s skirt, and a barely there chiffon top.

2007-02-12 08:10:00 Lucky you (and me)!

Jason Wu, F/W 2007: yes, young master
2007-02-08 19:00:00 Review: Jason says that he's growing with his collection, both he and the Jason Wu girl are getting older, maturing. This immediately obvious to the audience at last night's runway show at NY Fashion Week. Wu, who has been known for this delicate, yet architectural designs introduced thicker, more sculptural fabrics to his collection for fall/winter 2007.

NY Fashion Week, golf claps all around!
2007-02-05 09:15:00 Both fashion designers and the models who wear their clothes have achieved rock star status over the last 30 years so it's no wonder that fans turn out in droves to pack each venue to the rafters. At one show yesterday, the room was so over-full that we were asked to stand 5 deep, behind the last row of chairs. Anyone shorter than 6' didn't see a thing. No matter how crowded the show...

Terexov F/W 2007, the boy knows jersey but can he chic it?
2007-02-04 22:03:00 Terexov Designer: Alexandre Terexov F/W 2007 Review: After his debut in the UPS venue last season, New York seemed to have fallen for Russia with love. Surely Alexandre Terexov's wrap dresses were a hit (especially the backless black number) yet the collection felt too narrow in scope. I worried that this year would be more of the same but his rep from KPR this morning assured me that there More About: The Boy , Know , Jersey
Diane von Furstenberg F/W 2007, Diane's diet advice? Wear clothes that add
2007-02-04 20:45:00 Diane von Furstenberg Designer: Diane von Furstenberg F/W 2007 Review: There are many designers who do one season better than the other. For DvF, that season is spring. The fall collection opened disappointingly with black on black. Sad, since DvF does color so well. Toward the end of the presentation this was addressed with a few bright and boldly patterned pieces in black, white, fushia, teal More About: Advice , Diet , Clothes , Hat , Dian
Alice Roi F/W 2007: Madeline, ou sont vos chaussures?
2007-02-04 15:27:00 Alice Roi Designer: Alice Roi F/W 2007 Review: Alice Roi credited the children's story Made line for her Fall/Winter 2007 collection. Unfortunately the footwear overshadowed her Peter Pan collar shirts and felty woolen schoolgirl skirts. These white or black clogs were paired with knee socks, regardless of their fittingness according to each outfit. I enjoyed the black/black footwear combo but More About: Line , Sure , Haus , Madeline
Cabbeen F/W 2007, first mainland Chinese designer at NY Fashion Week
2007-02-04 08:58:00 Cabbeen Desi gn er: Mr. Cabbeen F/W 2007 (Menswear) Review: The cymbals might have clashed for the debut of the first mainland Chinese designer at NY Fashion week. Instead, what Cabbeen presented was a coherent collection of marketable men's wear, certain to translate well to the American and western European markets.

Akiko Ogawa F/W 2007: I smell sex and disco!
2007-02-03 13:00:00 Akiko Ogawa Designer: Akiko Ogawa F/W 2007 Review: Fall 2007 will be where disco and rock stars meet. Akiko Ogawa's show was an explosion of sexy metallics with details in fur and crystals. To see these clothes moving down the runway was a truly stunning experience--especially the mercury like flow of silver of the long evening gown.

BCBG Max Azria F/W 2007, consistancy wins the retail race
2007-02-03 12:00:00 BCBG Max Azria Designer: Max Azria F/W 2007 Review: For fall, BCBG Max Azria's collection brings his fans personal style in a pop culture capsule. While knit caps and drapey shapes harkened back to mind the early 90's alterna-rock days, excellent details and refined fabrics brought the looks into a more modern interpretation. The layering and accessorizing should be something that any More About: Retail , Race , Cons , Wins , Tail
