St. Louis Post-Dispatch

When the Sam Fox Lecture Series at Washington University asked professors to submit names of notable notables to pursue as speakers, Jeigh Singleton of the fashion school (who prides himself in being a bit cheeky and devious at all times)…

From Azria to Kors, designers embrace destruction

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The new wave in clothing is the artful reveal.

I blame distressed jeans … in a good way.

Looking to inspire consumers to invest in gotta-have-it finds, maybe designers are looking to capitalize on what works.

Most fashionistas felt compelled to trade in…

Jill Stuart channel’s Star Trek vixen for Spring 2010

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Overall there was a lot to smile about at Jill Stuart’s show. The metallic fabrics and space aged cut-outs, black mesh and asymmetry was a wonderful juxtaposition against the austere halls of the New York…

Commonwealth Utilities menswear uncommonly good

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

OK, so I’m going to learn to put my camera on the right aspect ratio one of these days. So, in the meantime, you get to look at the finale in widescreen.

This clever menswear line…

Did DKNY take trend from fashion faux pas?

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

When I first saw the photo, I gasped…

But then I thought it was a little ridiculous for a teeny tiny model at a New York Fashion Week presentation to need Spanx.

Gold glitters on runways, but can it stimulate shoppers

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

New York Fashion Week was paved with gold garments.

I was curious to see if the would-be trend would make it to the Oscars red carpet on Sunday, but no.

Project Runway prepares to strut into the Supreme Court

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

No, it’s not a challenge to makeover Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas for a Constitution-themed walk-off.

Only in New York: Handbags as hats and barefeet with cocktail dresses

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
