Is there a better shopping city anywhere than Paris? With chocolatiers, hat boutiques, vintage troves and the best flea markets dotting what seems to be every rue corner, even the bazaars of Istanbul...
On our third morning at the luxurious Hotel Prince de Galles, where OpenSkies graciously accommodated us for our Parisian holiday, our lively group sipped café au lait and nibbled buttery chocolate-f...
There are those women—decked out Pre-Fall prêt-a-porter not yet available in stores—who when asked “France or Italy?” they answer succinctly: “Lagerfeld.” Then there is that other breed of Francophil...
Unlike standard trans-Atlantic flights that leave you bowled over and craving five-hour naps and airport espresso, OpenSkies Biz Beds—180-degree reclining beds heaping with plump comforters — helped ...
Parisians know that it takes more than a designer handbag or a well-tailored suit to be chic, and so does Philippa Hughes of The Pink Line Project, making her a fitting choice for FW’s 2010 Most Fash...
We don’t get why anyone would line up at the crack of dawn for a Black Friday sale on new plasma TVs. But for discounted Marc Jacobs? We’re sooo there. Here’s a few of our favorite ...
Gulper eels, electrons and other strangely beautiful scientific imagery obsesses Chicago designer Abigail Glaum-Lathbury. But that doesn’t mean that her sculptural skirts, cowl-necked dresses and wha...
We’ll be talking fashion — and taking questions about your style dilemmas — tomorrow at noon over here. (You can also head over there now to sign up for a reminder for when we start.) Holiday p...
Whether or not you believe Michelle Obama is a fashion force to be reckoned with, there’s no denying she’s helped elevate several designers from industry darlings to veritable household n...
The Tweed Ride phenomenon has been sweeping hip U.S. cities (Boston, San Fran, New York), so it was only a matter of time before D.C.’s style setters would organize one of our own. (Didn’...
14th/U-area salon Immortal Beloved already lures the fash pack with its retro-cool updos and gritty-glam decor. During this week’s FotoWeek DC (Nov. 7-15), the space ups its chic cred even furt...
Sorry, menswear mavens: The blouse is officially back. We love the extra flourish of these two ultra-femme options: Alexander McQueen’s Dot Blouse with perfectly constructed sleeves (perfect fo...
We took a little time off post-party (in case you hadn’t noticed). But we’re back this week with a vengeance, thanks to a crazy amount of fashion-y events all around D.C. Here’s wha...
(Subtitle: In Which We Pause to Catch Our Breath and Say Many, Many Thanks) FW’s first anniversary party was Monday night at Masa 14. We’d been planning it for months (…and months! The ch...
This week, Anthropologie introduced Mise En Scene, a capsule collection by hip label Ruffian. The luxe, ladylike pieces seem straight out of Belle de Jour, the iconic 1967 film that starred Catherine...
1. FW is hosting a book signing for street fashion photog The Sartorialist, Scott Schuman, this Monday, Oct. 19, at brand-new 14th Street restaurant Masa 14. Come by from 9-10pm to meet Scott, buy hi...
At the All Access Fashion Event last month at Tysons Galleria, I got to meet — and chat up — Project Runway sage (and native Washingtonian) Tim Gunn. Here’s a bit of our conversation. (And yes, he’s ...
We — and most of D.C.’s style crowd, it seems — celebrated the city’s fab new W hotel at a majorly glam official launch party last week. The highlights were many — the Marie Antoinette-is...
It’s been awhile since we checked in with everyone’s favorite first lady. How about a little Liz Claiborne to kick off the afternoon? This dress is from the summer collection, and is a mu...
Our regular fash chat was earlier today! If you were’t able to join us, you can still read it over here — there are lots of fall fashion ideas, from nail colors to boots to blazers. Here’...
The one-two uptown/downtown punch of Michael Kors, followed a few hours later by 3.1 Phillip Lim, has become one of my favorite parts of fashion week. Both bring out a who’s who of the fashion ...
Nanette Lepore doesn’t shy away from color, but for spring she went mad for hot hues that looked stolen from a Fauvist painting or a jumbo box of Crayolas. This resulted in a dreamy (if slightly too ...
We’re wrapping up with the last of our reports from New York. Up next: Favorites from London, Milan and Paris… Brights and whites ruled the runway at Tibi’s spring show, with sylph-sleek ...
1. Fall is officially here! Items we’re currently coveting (er, despite the fact that it’s 85 degrees outside): Alice + Olivia’s asymmetric leather jacket (spotted at Neiman’s...
Fashion editors turn up their collective noses at the safe, slightly preppy clothes of Tory Burch. (And please, God, do not get us started on those ubiquitous, Muffy-goes-to-Palm-Beach ballet flats w...
I had a lot of fun backstage at Erin Fetherston before her show, watching the MAC makeup gurus in action. One trick they did on her models (which I immediately stole): Instead of applying blush along...
What if a 1940s Gal Friday met a sugar daddy (more on that later) and jetted off to Cuba or Rio? She probably want to pack the draped, shaped swimming suits, big-shouldered, belted jackets and wide...
Known for sweet suits and floaty dresses, Rebecca Taylor veered in a saucier, bossier direction with her spring collection. Everybody seems hell-bent on reviving the 1980s, but Taylor does this in a ...
