A Trenchcoat Meeting Of The Minds
You might say they’ve had this date since the beginning. When Aimee Cho and Irini Arakas first met, it was as fellow fashion writers for Vogue. Flash-forward a handful of years, and they’re both successful designers: Cho of Gryphon ready-to-wear, and Arakas of Prova scarves and jewelry. So when they met again at Vogue’s Alumni [...]
Leather And Lacy
Some folks are shopping for the next season. And some are shopping for now. Those latter girls should appreciate our new rundown of the best shorts on the market, which range from studded leather ones for the rocker (like this pair from Gryphon, left) to frilly, eyelet versions for the girly girl (like See by [...]
Gryphon’s Aldridge Trench Celebrates Post-Apocalypse Now
“This is actually the first time I’ve heard either of their voices,” Gryphon’s Aimee Cho admitted on a three-way call with Style.com, Sea of Shoes‘ Jane Aldridge, and Atlantis Home’s Judy Aldridge.

Duskin’s Stephanie Tran Gets (And Gives) A Little Help From Friends
I’ve known Duskin designer Stephanie Tran since her days at Vogue, and I’ve always admired her sense of style.

Blasblog: The Rodulfo Empire Lights Up
To the unfamiliar eye it may have seemed like a hodgepodge hostess committee: The New York Times‘ Karla Martinez, Gryphon’s Aimee Cho, and Vogue editor Meredith Melling Burke and contributing editor Lauren Santo Domingo. What were they all doing inviting people to midtown? For a candle launch? But for Alexa Rodulfo—the Mexico City-based go-to hair [...]
Gryphon’s Inside Story
Designer Aimee Cho started her collection two years ago with a brilliantly simple idea: the trenchcoat. Since then, Cho, a Vogue alum, has gradually developed that basic notion beyond the beloved classic into other types of toppers, and now she’s going one step further. For Spring 2009, Cho is branching out with a small collection [...]
gryphon fakes it
PETA’s long, paint-spattered war against the fashion industry hasn’t had much success in dampening the demand for pretty pelts, but that’s not necessarily because the stylish lack hearts—it could more be blamed on a lack of alternatives to naturally warm and soft furs that don’t involve giant, puffy quilting or flammable-feeling fakes.
