Tim Hamilton: Caped Crusader
The CFDA Awards are mere hours away. We hear that some big-name European designers in town for Resort presentations might be making surprise appearances during cocktail hour, but it’s really about the Americans tonight.

Paris’ Gain Isn’t Necessarily New York’s Loss
Tim Hamilton is Paris-bound: Not only did the designer debut his womenswear collection in the City of Light last season, but now he’s moving his menswear show there, as well.

Then, a whole spate of womenswear designers have launched men’s collections (Balmain, Gareth [...]
