Spotted: Partners in scene-stealing, Chloë Sevigny and Liz Goldwyn. The pair turned heads at back-to-back events in L.A. this weekend in some straight-from-the-runway Miu Miu and (we’re guessing here) trademark quirky vintage. At Friday night’s Prada book launch, Sevigny’s Fall ‘09 Miu Miu navel-plunger with exposed bra (see here on how to rock the lingerie [...]
On Our Radar: Cynthia Rowley’s Embellished Tights
Having already dabbled in sequined dresses, blazers, and shorts, I’ve been on the hunt for new ways to incorporate a dash of sparkle into my everyday look. By the time Miuccia Prada debuted her version on the Miu Miu runway, bejeweled tights were something of a Fall ‘09 micro-trend. I love the idea of embellishment [...]
Cats: The Fashion Calendar, Not The Musical
Cats: adorable, right? Furry purring machines batting at balls of string, I can haz all your love and affection?

What was significant, in that it changed the way we shop or dress? Another magazine’s forthcoming issue takes a stab at the [...]
Blasblog From Paris: Finally, Some A-list Eye Candy
Yesterday, when Kate Moss took her seat at the Chanel show and incited a paparazzi crush, I was reminded of the good ol’ days when fashion shows always had supermodels and celebrities in their front rows. (Remember when you didn’t even have to pay them?) There was still a bit of nostalgia after the show, [...]
Miu Miu’s Decade-Plus of It Faces
Miu Miu opens its doors tomorrow on 57th Street, in Jil Sander’s old digs, with a nearly 5000 square-foot space over three floors dedicated to the label’s sweet-yet-subversive wares. But it’s a sneak preview of images that will be on display on the store’s third floor that may really get the Miu Miu-philes going—and remind [...]
