WHATS NEW AT PROENZA
By Lindsey Alt
If there is one thing Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez do best, its innovation. The pair are known for their unique expression of art and youth culture through expert tailoring and customized fabrication. With the launch of the PS1 in 2008, the two designer behind mega-brand, Proenza Schouler, redefined what it meant to be an “it-bag”. The newest editions to their handbag...

AT MY HOLIDAY PARTY

I would have this video playing over and over again on a projector on the wall
My decor would be metallic themed … I think red and green is cheesy and the holidays should be sparkly and magical, not kitschy. like this:
I would wrap all my guests’ party favors in diamonds like this:
I would have VIE LUXE candles burning, not only do they smell incredible but they come...

ASOS SS12 PREVIEW
By Lindsey Alt
Headed to the ASOS SS12 preview last week and it totally blew my mind. Their use of fabrication is incredible considering the price point. I loved all the tropical inspired hot shorts and mini dresses. The lucite tinted visor and perforated backpacks were so cool too. I am always so impressed by the evolution of ASOS as a private label brand. Some of my favorite shots below….

SEEING SPOTS
By Lindsey Alt
I don’t even think Cruella De Vil would know how to handle the amount of dalmatian print showing up at retail all over the world right now. Of course, all of these styles are conceptual and not actually dalmatian skin. (that would send PETA over the edge, I am sure of it.) BUT, I do think its a great alternative to the overkill of animal we are seeing for the umpteenth season....

JKC: TIL DEATH DO US PART

Most of you would probably recognize Jessica Kagan Cushman’s Nantucket bangles or canvas totes which sport witty sayings such as “Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner” and “My Other Bag is a Chanel”. Her style of accessories allow the wearer to express themselves with bright colors, sarcasm and a whole lot of flare. When I met Jessica at Premiere Classe in Paris this summer I immediately...

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS [NOT] GOLD
By Lindsey Alt
With the holiday season quickly approaching I have all I can do to not explode sequins. It seems as though every year each retailer adds more and more sparkle to their assortment, creating a winter wonderland that has girls shining like a walking disco ball. I am feeling more into shimmer this holiday rather than sequins and raw metallic. There is something so magical about...
