You read it right. The whole world may be going nuts for twitpics, but this fashion week, we opted for Whitpics, courtesy of Trovata designer John Whitledge. Since he took a season off from showing his collection, Whitledge had a little free time to take in the sights of New York fashion week. We sent [...]

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it’s off to school they go. Swaim and Christina Hutson’s first full collection as creative directors of Generra (where Swaim consulted on last season’s menswear) was inspired, the duo said, by Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. But where the Disney dwarves were whiskered, the dudes who tromped through Hiro Ballroom looked years [...]

With a name like Harley Viera-Newton, it was only a matter of time before someone set the DJ and girl-about-town on a hog. The moment has arrived. For their first collection as creative directors of Generra (though Swaim consulted on the menswear last season), Swaim and Christina Hutson commissioned photographer and filmmaker KT Auleta to [...]

After shuttering Obedient Sons & Daughters last January, Swaim Hutson quietly assumed the reins at Generra in time to design the label’s Spring 2010 men’s collection in September. His wife Christina’s project this year was their second child. But here’s good news for fans of the Fashion Fund-nominated duo. They’ve reunited in Generra’s design room [...]

On any given Friday night, the corner of 14th Street and Ninth Avenue is going to be a traffic morass. But if the gridlock seemed a little heavier than usual last night, it probably had something to do with all the cabs stopping in front of Abe & Arthur’s, the joint that’s taken over the [...]

Som and Tom? Perhaps. Peter Som and Tommy Hilfiger are reportedly discussing bringing Som on as a “part-time creative consultant.” Som, who was formerly the creative director at Bill Blass, presumably knows a lot about American sportswear. [WWD]
Richard Chai—Love is the name of the designer’s new “boy-loves-girl-girl-loves-boy’s-clothing” take on contemporary dressing, and the slouchy, languid-looking [...]

Last week we reported on husband-and-wife team Swaim and Christina Hutson’s decision to cancel their runway show (their lines Obedient Sons and Daughters shuttered early this year, for those of you who don’t have your economic-crisis scorecards handy) and, in lieu of any runway outing, officially announce the name of their new clothing venture with [...]

Last night when we got the news about Sari Gueron canceling her show at the last minute, we mused to the blogosphere about whether our schedules were soon to get even lighter as the countdown to fashion week continued. Well, guess what? Swaim and Christina Hutson, who closed Obedient Sons and Daughters earlier this year [...]

More bad news on the fashion front: Obedient Sons & Daughters is closing its doors, but the recession isn’t necessarily to blame. Swaim and Christina Hutson’s profile has been on a fast-moving upward trajectory since they launched their label over two years ago: They were CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists last year. Unfortunately, their investor hasn’t [...]

What: The Camera Bag app for the iPhone, a bargain at $2.99, provides eight artsy filters for the phone’s camera. They include the Helga, which adds a Holga-like desaturation and vignette border; the Lolo, which emulates the beloved classic Lomo camera; and a nostalgic sepia-toned one called 1974.
Why: Because you bought an iPhone, [...]
