Snob Designers of 2008
10. Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton Ready To Wear- Forget what we’ve said about his bags or his personal life; MJ revealed his exceptional talent with LV’s RTW collections this year. Fall 08′s darted, pleated and sculpted line shows MJ’s newfound maturity (or sobriety) and announces he is a force to be reckoned with. He [...]
YSL Shoe-Gasm Continues!
Will this ever stop? I can’t buy any more shoes but OMG– YSL just won’t stop tempting us! Sasha sent me this photo a couple of weeks ago and I tried to ignore it but can’t stop thinking about these amazing shoes. The Tribute platform’s latest incarnation, in taupe suede (so impractical but do we [...]

Fall 2009 Fashion Week
Its been hard reading WWD, Fashion Week Daily, and other daily fashion publications lately given all the cut-backs — Carmen Marc Valvo, DKNY, Vera Wang, and Betsey Johnson are just some of the big names that have already announced they will not show at the Bryant Park tents during New York Fashion Week. Fendi and [...]
Hayden-Harnett Madeleine Riding Boots
I was lucky enough to get the chance to interview Hayden-Harnett designer Toni Hacker back in October and she’s so great! I’m dying to get my hands on a pair of her Madeleine Riding Boots ($448) which come in a beautiful brandy color (also black and eucalyptus). Toni was so excited about her new (and [...]
