You Just Might Catch Yourself Wearing this in 2009
January 19th, 2009
A new year brings new fashion trends. Here are a few of the things you just might catch yourself wearing in 2009, even if you are the type to exclaim, “Oh, I would never wear that.”
Ladies…….
Cork Accessaries- No, we aren’t wearing wine bottle corks on a necklace chain (although we may be on to something) but clutches and shoes with cork detail are all the rage!
Let your pants sag- Instead of wearing your waste line low bring it up and allow your crotch to appear like it hangs at your knees.
Colored mascara- I know, I know it is so 80′s but you just might!
Leotards- No lie, the leotard is back and begging to be warn under those high wasted skirts and pants.
Gentlemen….
High waters- 
Cropped pants are no longer just for the girls or for the boys that clam dig.
Not so buttoned up- It may seem a bit 70′s disco-esque but it’s time to loosen up those buttons, the lower you button the better. Also, you’ll find more mens cotton T-shirts in a much lower cut V-neck. Let the chest hair blow in the wind!
Shoe Patches- Time to brush up on your cross stitch. When your shoes begin to wear this year grab the needle and thread. Patch away! Apparently the economy is in rough shape or something.

What’s In A Name?
October 29th, 2008
In a world where names mean everything, we must sit back and diagnose what exactly “everything” is. Precedent to the 90′s era a fashion label showcased a designer’s artistry and ingenuity. Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Oscar de la Renta were not only the name of their lines but the faces of them as well. Coco Chanel posed for her own perfume advertisements. Oscar de la Renta would, and still does, draw all of the sketches for his seasonal lines by hand.
As our sage couturiers near the age of retirement we find ourselves at a fork in the fashion world. More and more designers out of school are working together in studios under the name of a celebrity who appears to have credibility as a fashion icon and thus, my friends, a brand is born.
Brands seem, to me, almost counterfeit. I want to know who’s work lies behind the mask. A name is more substantive and the allure of a designer is irreplaceable.
