Colored & Patterned Tights. Get 'em Now...Wear Through Winter 2009
2008-03-06 22:15:00 tights get top treatment for Fall 2008 at Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier & Anna Sui If you love your colored tights as much as me, you'll be as happy as me that for Fall, they are still a huge trend. Due to my sick obsession with tights, WeLoveColors.com has now been banned from my Sites Visited list - probably because I can't stop ogling their huge variety of tights, leggings, thigh highs, knee highs, and fishnets in 56 different colors and patterns. When I received my first four pairs in the mail, the first thing I noticed was how thick and soft they were. My yellow knee-highs were even nabbed off of me and put straight onto the model at an editorial shoot I was working in NYC. My only worry? What is going to happen to my endless pairs of rainbow colored tights once this trend is over. Perhaps a quilt made of woven tights... Solid colored tights run around $12.50 and knee highs are just $3.50 at WeLoveColors.com. - Hanna Kim (runway photos: style.com) ... More About: Winter , Wear , Tights
Runway vs. Realway: What Actually Prowls Off the Catwalk & into a Store
2008-03-06 20:26:00 what $10,000 will get you at Nina Ricci Only a surprisingly small 20-30% of what is shown on the runways actually makes it to the sales floor, according to an interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal (Runway to Rack: Finding Looks That Will Sell). Purchases are actually made in advance of the shows at the less theatrical, more saleable pre-collections. Part of the reason is who can actually afford to typical designer prices, which have now exceeded most people's monthly rent (even a Manhattanite's) with "affordable" day dresses in the $1000 range (Temperley, Derek Lam), cocktail dresses around $4000 (Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Lanvin), and even shoes fast approaching the 1G threshold. "I'm trying to remember when the average price of a shoe reached $800," muses Chris Mulroy, creative director for Neapolitan's, a Chicago based boutique catering to the local social X-rays. "In 2003, a beautiful designer cocktail dress retailed for around $2... More About: Catwalk , Store
Top 10 Trends & Must-Haves for Spring #3: Crayola Bright Colors
2008-03-06 20:18:00 oh brighten up, already...like Alessandro Dell'Acqua, Valentino, Giambattista Valli, Lanvin, Marni Bright s are one of the best things to happen to the tyranny of all-black - take a cue from A-list runways and take the color plunge.

Get Your Pierre Hardy Chic Shoe Fix at the Gap
2008-03-06 04:02:00 Building on the success of the designer's first Gap Design Editions capsule collection for fall in the UK and France, fashionistas on this side of the Pond just got lucky. Priced in the $80-$100 range, the six style U.S. collection for spring/summer’08 just launched with wooden wedges in chambray, candy stripe canvas and an indigo print, stacked wooden heel gladiator platforms that wrap at the ankle and fasten with a fabric-covered buckle, and a sleek Grecian T-strap flat in brown, white, and metallic-gold leather. "Above all, Gap is a real brand, with history, values and identity. It is really exciting to enter this new universe and challenge my creative talents," comments the designer, who started his career in the early Nineties with Christian Dior footwear, and later launched his own label in 1999 - inspiring cult-like devotion amongst fashionistas along the way.

Tom Binns Neon "No Time" Watch Rethinks that Slavedriver on Your Wrist
2008-03-06 01:44:00 Laughing in the face of time: now that's what I call luxury. These snazzy "timepieces" are pretty much the coolest way to rock the season's bright-to-neon trend. Purchasing info at TomBinnsDesign.com. (image via Schmashion) Add a few more crayola bright accents, and prepare to show off your style savvy: Neon accessories are fun, so maintain the festive vibe by kicking up your heels in vibrant, multi-hued sandals with an equally groovy bag.

Kaiser Karl Lays Down the Law in Prestige Hong Kong Magazine
2008-03-05 19:09:00 The intimitable - and way quotable - Karl Lagerfeld is featured in the March issue, with self portraits, insights into his legendary career and Chanel, and, of course, his fabulously blunt opinions on everything from his preference for private jets to anorexia and the modeling industry. "Yes, the new Russian girls are like this," says Lagerfeld about their svelte frames. "But this is a subject I won't discuss. You know why? In France there are a large percentage of young girls who are overweight and less than one percent are skinny. So let's talk about the 25 percent who have a weight problem, or are overweight. We don't need to discuss the less than one percent. Anorexia is nothing to do with fashion." The Kaiser holds forth on other topics:BAD OLE' DAYS "When people talk about the good old days, I say to people, 'It's not the days that are old, it's you that's old.' I hate the good old days. What is important is that today is good."KEIN AD... More About: Magazine , Hong Kong , Lays , Prestige
