Algorithms, Amazon, and Accessories: How Luxury Retail is Being Redefined by E-Commerce
At last week’s Met Ball honoring Schiaparelli and Prada, Amazon made it abundantly clear that their recent announcement of focusing more on fashion wasn’t an off the cuff statement; Amazon was the sole sponsor of the event and live streamed the red carpet, along with Vogue.com, on it’s website.

Runway to Win
I’ve procrastinated for some time now on writing a post about “Runway to Win”, a designer endorsed capsule collection in support of Obama. I was originally going to critique that those who participated missed a grand opportunity to design something proactive and wearable, but I’ve decided to rework my initial post. Today the President did ...

Streetstyle: Reading at the Bakery, NYC
Because nothing’s sweeter (haha) than taking some time to read while enjoying a cupcake. On a more topical note, I love the layered shirts, cream over orange, styled with the oversized black jacket and a-line skirt.

Haynes cut her teeth at Rochas and Nina Ricci while working under the illustrious, intellectual, and grandiose designer Olivier Theysken. The line, Calla, has received rave reviews from French Vogue ...

Not Gonna Lie: I Loved “Girls.”
I waited a week until I watched “Girls.” It’s hard not to be super wary of a show that has received months and months of press coverage, good and bad, and a show that has NY Mag charting it’s press coverage from now to a year ago. But once I watched the show, it was ...

So, H&M is Organic Now?
And we should be more excited shouldn’t we? It’s sort of hard to not view this with some skepticism. On one hand, it’s really great that a mega-giant manufacturing company is making an iniatitive to start using more organic cotton, one on the other hand, it would be great for them to also use bamboo, ...

Street Style: Broome and Lafayette
Spotted- incredibly dapper dude on Lafayette. I love how his rumpled shirt just peaks out from under his tailored turtleneck. The sunglasses and topsider-esque brown loafters really make the outfit.
