		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m becoming a fan of the Mademoiselle Fall 2013 collection for a handful of reasons. After taking a look at the most recent lookbook (which we&#8217;ll be publishing in foto form soon) I thought what appealed to me was the fact that the collection went in a couple of different directions. There&#8217;s the vampy leather clad angle skirt that replaces the slit with stretch chiffon which is matched with a silk modal jersey and a leather sleeve. It&#8217;s something you can easily see a Hollywood socialite wearing it but at the same time you have this bridal lace dress that is definitely mod inspired as it&#8217;s nearly a mile over the knee. It&#8217;s as if two different designers put together the collection. That&#8217;s a great thing. Keeps the masses guessing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last month in the magazine, we featured Cydelic a handbag collection by designer Choryin Choi. He created an unconventional look with punk-like accents, beads and chain straps. It was a different strong look that most are not used to seeing. I wanted to highlight it in blog format, because this designer I feel is one to watch. His unconventional approach and his ability to mix a myriad of styles together into something cohesive and beautiful, gives hope that fashion can be daring via a new infusion of talent. Head over to see his full profile and all the photos here.]]></description>

Intricately designed with (according to Prada&#8217;s press release) 19th Century European Palais and literary cafe&#8217;s in mind, the views contains a mix of oriental inspiration and western influences. The windows are on display throughout the holiday season and eternally in photos.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The anonymous designers at MaxMara can toil in obscurity all they want (or rather all the Maramotti family wants), but there&#8217;s no mistaking the overall angle. Creating instantly wearable collections that can go from season to season without skipping a beat seems to be the ethos behind this collection. The 2013 season is no different. During the presentation for the Spring 2013 season, the MaxMara collection contained a distinctly safari like bent, not quite African, not quite Indian, just a melange of striped colors, camouflage and prints that range in the realm of animal to floral. The blouses had lightweight hoods and were the length of t-shirts in some instances. The collection was styled with oversized chunky bags and equally open toe chunky clogs with a strapped around the heel. An elegant but by-the-numbers collection from a designer that has hundreds (if not thousands) of stores worldwide.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Milan fashion week opened last Thursday many in the media did not know what to expect. It&#8217;s not that the Italian designers like to throw everyone for a loop just for fun. It&#8217;s just that by and large, the designers are fickle and can be influenced by nearly anything. So when Frida Giannini debuted Gucci&#8217;s Spring/Summer 2013 collection she apparently knew (and this is just supposition) that overtly sexy dress was out and a more subtle titillation was due this season. By displaying prints that had a myriad of swirls, turns and curls, belted tunics that were not quite shirt but also couldn&#8217;t fall into your garden variety tops. Then there were silk organza dresses long in form that belied what would normally be taken as a stodgy dress, far from, it was sexy because the movement of the fabric mirrored the form underneath. This was no ordinary Gucci show. This was Giannini showing us that she knew something that we didn&#8217;t: for this collection at least, sexy wasn&#8217;t a decade, wasn&#8217;t a concept, wasn&#8217;t even overt. It was and is an overall aesthetic.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you were wondering where Alberta Feretti would go for her Spring Summer 2013 collection, wonder no more. Ferretti went uber feminine conjuring up lace, frills, in multiple hues. Nearly all of the pieces shown were not typical everyday items. Ferretti stressed gowns in rich shimmery black as well as nude, but saved the lace and delicate materials for an array of greens and blues. Lace was a recurring theme throughout the show and the designer did it to extended elaborate effect (think Cate Blanchett, Lord of the Rings epic). There was also a sensual feel to the show that highlighted Ferretti&#8217;s homage to the feminine form. First thing that comes to mind is a sheer lace set in violet with matching undergarments. This collection was neither out of character for Ferretti or bold enough to change the overall story of Ferretti&#8217;s imprimatur.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Faconnable, a french retailer known historically for its menswear collection, recently put out photos for its Autumn/Winter 2012 womenswear items. After looking at the few pics from the collection, the first thought that came into my head was, someone at Gap and Banana Republic should be taking notes. While never known for high-end fashion, the designers there always created more than serviceable looks. I&#8217;m sure Faconnable, is aiming at higher price-points, but for what it is and who they are targeting (modern/contemporary), this is spot-on. See photos:]]></description>

Models who sought to get information at the tip of their eyes were able to do just that. Google outfitted models at the DVF show the Project Glass lenses and the models did their part to show off Diane von Furstenberg&#8217;s latest wares. If that wasn&#8217;t enough, the Project Glass captures from the show were put on DVF&#8217;s Google+ website (oh the marketing cross-promotional goodness).

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s very hard selecting the top designers in fashion. This is especially the case when they are all creating at a high level; but each year the British Fashion Awards does just that. What&#8217;s really eye opening is the list of designers named for best designer for 2012. The nominees are: Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou, Stella McCartney. Yeah, it&#8217;s that hard. Mary Katrantzou had an incredible year being featured no less than 10 times in major fashion publications. A lot of editor here at PD call Katrantzou the queen of prints. She&#8217;s nearly without a peer in creating prints. Her collection ranges from bold to daring and everything in between those two. Stella McCartney has also had a standout year taking a classic polished decidedly English aesthetic to her most recent collections. PD highlighted her resort 2013 collection that debuted in New York. Christopher Kane&#8217;s resort 2013 collection was split between an experiment in beauty and some sort of adherence to art. What did this get him? He received accolades across the board both from buyers and the fashion intelligentsia. Picking the best designer of the year? Yeah, this is going to be hard.]]></description>

And her PR people are not shy in letting us know. The past couple of weeks we&#8217;ve received at least 5 emails demonstrating Chakra&#8217;s ability to get all types of press (and with good reason). Her fall collection was a mix of the edgy, futuristic and daring. More Magazine&#8217;s recent issue showed her softer more playful side as evidenced by the photos above. What&#8217;s Spring going to be like for Chakra? Read our review of her Spring 2011 line here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Loathe as I am to admit it, I watch that infernal show. I specifically watch the Real Housewives of Atlanta and say to myself, &#8220;self, why are you watching this trash.&#8221; I think primarily because it is trash. Which is why when I saw this bag I thought to myself: a. Chloe needs Phoebe Philo b. Nene would wear this bag in a heartbeat. This gaudy python monstrosity is on sale at Net a Porter for nearly $3800 and so far one person on facebook likes it from the &#8216;Net site. Surely this one person is hiding under a crevice or rock. Are you brave enough to like this bag?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know what you&#8217;re thinking. Another post on United Nude? But seriously, ever since our Fashion&#8217;s Night Out visit to the United Nude store in Soho we&#8217;ve been major evangelizers of the design house&#8217;s collection. At first glance it&#8217;s easy to think that there is a major geometric thing going on because nearly every shoe in the collection has some sort of sharp edge. You almost feel as if the designers have pigeonholed themselves into making square shoes. Then you see something like their Iris van Herpen X United Nude shoe and realize there&#8217;s more than just a play on shapes. The level of detail down to the heel itself, the enclosure accents the very shape of the shoe says it&#8217;s a timeless original. So yes we&#8217;ll be shameless shills for United Nude and we&#8217;ll even have a giveaway and promise that you will have a chance to win specially designed shoes from United Nude if you enter. In the meantime, you can admire the entire collection on their website. Enter the Giveaway here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hintmag.com recently interviewed Chanel&#8217;s Jacques Polge. For those of you living under a rock or other type of crevice, Polge is Chanel&#8217;s perfumer. If you&#8217;re wearing some type of Chanel perfume right now, chances are Polge came up with it via Alchemy and quite a bit of perfume sorcerers magic. In the interview he explains to Stéphane Gaboué of Hint how he came up with Egoïste via Ernest Beaux&#8217;s (creator of No. 5) early creation Bois des Iles. He tells how Americans sanitized the perfume industry:&#8220;You know, I started my career in the United States. Perfumes were then made of both good-smelling and bad-smelling ingredients. But the bad-smelling ingredients, when used in a certain way, brought something sensual and interesting to the final scent. The first time I arrived at work, they told me, “You want to work here? Then smell this.” They made me smell chives. With American puritanism, all these kinds of fragrances disappeared.&#8221; He also discusses the now infamous Egoiste commercial (be careful if you watch it you&#8217;ll play it over and over again). Read the entire interview here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Neil Barrett&#8217;s Autumn 2010 collection makes me love writing about fashion even if I can only afford one item in the entire collection. The edgy rock and rollness (yes I created a word) of his 2010 effort is sleek and to the point. No frilly extraneous accessories or accents are needed here. This is purely a dark, Matrix-esque look moved forward for the 2010 fall season. His past collections were just as sharp, if only with more range of color. This season it&#8217;s about lines and edges. Not every body type will adhere to Barrett&#8217;s strict construction, but at the very least there are pieces in the collection to ogle and if you can wear them do so!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Never one to hold back, Cathy Horyn dug into Anna Wintour&#8217;s brainchild in a candid interview on The Daily Beast. In Jacob Bernstein&#8217;s candid interview with the top fashion critic, Horyn touches on several topics including for her dislike of shopping, her ability to be a thorn in the side of certain designers including Carolina Herrera, Giorgio Armani, Dolce &#038; Gabbana, Helmut Lang, Nicole Miller, and Oscar de la Renta (who banned her from their shows at one point or another.) and the reasons she destroys designers during fashion week (hint: it&#8217;s only intentional if the designer makes it so). On the topic of Fashion&#8217;s Night Out Horyn makes no bones about her wanting it to be a failure, she says, &#8220;I hope it doesn&#8217;t go on&#8230;I don&#8217;t want it to continue… You know, we&#8217;re a nation of shoppers. That&#8217;s how people spend their time, shopping online, shopping in stores, acquiring. And I feel like we perpetuate that with Fashion&#8217;s Night Out. What are you really celebrating? Not art or great books. You&#8217;re celebrating shopping.&#8221; Ouch. The full interview can be read here on the Daily Beast website.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh I so remember those days working retail some 15 years ago at the Gap. Trolling the store looking for the latest I would spend my money on and working whatever angles I could to get more hours. Friends would say where&#8217;d you get that shirt? And I would say, at the Gap silly. They would check, but would find nothing. That&#8217;s because I&#8217;d hide the last 2 in that color in some obscure place where they would never find it. Fast forward 15 years and I am now a blogger making about what I made at the Gap 15 years ago&#8230; and the person who came up with that insipid new logo is making 55,000 times what I make now. So who came up with the new logo? You did. Yes you. It must have been market tested and vetted against research a thousand times before it saw the light of day. Heck, there could have been 50 million iterations of the logo. In the end, social research came up short. But good or bad press&#8230;The Gap still came out on top right we&#8217;re talking about it right? So bingo. Gap wins again. And I&#8217;m writing you up, for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We just uploaded the complete review for the Hernan Lander collection. This show happened outside of Lincoln center on the rooftop of the Empire Hotel. While directly across the street from Lincoln center, it still had the feeling of being an edgy, off site collection thought with all the trimmings and presence of a high end show. There were at least ten models in installation format showing Lander&#8217;s recent collection and as writer Roxanne Doucet put it, while, &#8220;there was a lack of consistency, the shoes also designed by Hernan Lander, were sublime and successful. The designer provided us with too much information in one collection possibly trying to show his originality and his expertise.&#8221; To view the English review click here.

		<description><![CDATA[Almost every designer fresh out the gates finds someone drawing parallels to Marc Jacobs or some other major established fashion scion. The comparisons end up being too lofty and eventually unattainable as the designer tends to peter out or simply does not have the chops to be mentioned in the same breath. So this profile won&#8217;t do that, but by the very mention of Marc Jacobs, that would seem to be the intention. It is clearly not, but what it is, is an attempt to show the potential of design duo of Javier Garcia and Vaughan Alexander. The Verlaine Fall collection is like a hit parade of challenging themes. Entirely wearable, this trend-busting line says it all. It says outerwear need not have symmetrical lines for the season (see the Wool Felt Triangle coat) below: It says you can make a floor length dress entirely out of Jersey and add spiral columns (see the Jersey Dress below) It says you can look a season ahead in a cocoon coat (we&#8217;ve seen them before but never done so well in boiled wool): The Verlaine Spring collection is also looking very progressive this season as well. We have some photos in-house but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ask about Manuel De La Cruz the fashion designer and you may get a puzzled look from many. Show the works of Manuel De La Cruz and the looks may turn from puzzlement to an ooh or an ahh. Manuel De La Cruz is a designer who comes from humble beginnings but is carving a path out in an industry that has a short memory on those who never quite got &#8220;there&#8221;. &#8220;There&#8221; of course being a place between fame and notoriety. Being just shy of &#8220;there&#8221; may be just fine for De La Cruz whose Spanish-inspired ruffled shirts and satin matador pants are reminiscent of a latin generation gone by. Manuel De La Cruz fuses modern trimmings with classical fit and finish for a fall collection that is not too jarring and not entirely functional. This seems to be done on purpose as every piece has some sort of nuance that stops it from being an everyday dress. His plunging v-neckline black dress is accessorized with a black laced up arm band that turns it from sexy into dangerous. He fights convention with a quasi colorblocked dress, also accentuated with a strong plunging v-neckline. The bio on his site [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[V Magazine is quickly proving to be one of the top fashion mags in the biz (along with Interview Magazine, moreso indirectly). This month&#8217;s issue is a shot across the bow of other magazines primarily because the reigning queen (and king if you are to believe some salacious rumors) of Facebook is splashed all across the pages of V Magazine wearing Lady Liberty&#8217;s clothing. Lady Gaga went into the Statue of Liberty&#8217;s closet and stole her look for what would appear to be a pretty penny. Decked out in the latest in couture, Lady Gaga is accompanied by none other than fashion wunderkind himself Marc Jacobs. He&#8217;s pushing her in a cart he&#8217;s admiring her from a far, he&#8217;s suited up to go wherever a designer like Marc Jacobs would take a celebrity like Lady Gaga. The Lady Gaga / Marc Jacobs fest of V hits newsstands today so pick yourself up a copy.]]></description>

Now our channel on Youtube is populated with videos from runway shows and Lykke Li (buy her album, NOW) and everything in between. In the coming weeks you can look forward to several unsteady cam videos, quick edits and someone from Papierdoll/Papierblog asking unseemly questions to all manner of model, designer, photographer.
