I devoured Clinton Kelly’s new book called, ‘Oh no she didn’t’ full of Clinton’s unabashed fashion observations which could have been called, Oh no he didn’t! A quick read which I recommend. Sometimes I laughed so hard I cried. He rips the top 100 faux pas to shreads. Some of my favorite pages are in […]
Last week I had the honor of visiting Rachel Dooley the creatrix behind Gemma Redux in her CFDA incubator space. We talked shop and here’s what she shared with me. Well known for over 20 pieces shown on the show Gossip Girl the story is a simple one. Along with gorgeous jewels.
So we’re in this new fashion vortex where the long skirt has made it’s way back onto trend setters but it has also got me thinking. Lately I’ve been all about touting the designers who I believe have longevity. I’ve been asked several times to name ‘hot’ ‘young’ ‘up and coming’ designers and you know […]
Kara Ross’s Ipad holder I found the chicest ipad holder at Kara Ross during fashion week. I was lucky to get some one on one time with the designer. This is one of the items that blew me away. She used amazing skins and custom cut precious stones. Bergdorfs carries her line. More info here. […]
“Night of Italian Glamour” I was lured to an event at the Pierre last week that at a quick glance I believed would be hosted by Gucci the brand. I think don’t think I was alone in that conclusion. The event however was hosted by Giorgio Gucci who sold his famous Gucci name to the […]
Back in the day I would walk the ENK piers shows like my life depended upon it. I wanted to know every line the good, the bad, and the forgettable. Yoanna Barashi’s collection however was always memorable to me. I loved her ode to vintage and she was always charming in her demeanor. So you […]
I’ve realized based on recent phone calls and inquiries that there is some widespread confusion around the word “FASHION STYLIST.” Part of the issue stems from the fact that many stylists (as naturally creative people) are also fashion designers. And, some fashion designers, like Tom Ford, were actually just really good stylists. Some clarity would […]
I’ve been a big fan of Joanna Mastroianni for several years now. I’m always surprised that she hasn’t gotten the press that Zac Posen has since she is equally talented. I especially love that she has been working out of the garment district producing gorgeous luxe clothing for over 18 years. The look is lady […]
Went to view Sergio’s new collection for Celestino Couture and was met with a reality tv camera crew. Very common these days but still kinda exciting. The new collection had me super excited. Sergio is a very talented young designer who deserves way more press and fan fare. I’ve know him for a couple years […]
Another day another interview. So many times with journalists the piece doesn’t ever see the computer screen or the light of day. This one about Tucker for Target though came out the day after I emailed. Talk about fast press! Here’s the link http://money.cnn.com/2010/09/10/pf/target_tucker_gaby_basora/index.htm
She helped me create not just outfits but a style statement for how I go out in the world in the morning. She’s given me a new sense of confidence, especially when I go to professional meetings
