The Spring/Summer 2010 issue of Vs. Magazine brings four style starlets on four different covers. Vanessa Paradis, Claudia Schiffer, Bar Rafaeli and Claire Danes each provide a different take on defining glamour, of the modern variety. This reminds of me of the magazine heyday of Detour and TAXI mags. Love the Stephen Sprouse-y pink text [...]
One turn, or in this case, curve of genius deserves another. When I saw this look from Alexander McQueen’s Fall 09 collection last year, I couldn’t help but think that it reminded me of the work of another man who likes to play with curves – Frank Gehry. Lee McQueen was often inspired by the [...]
The March issue of Vogue India has finally arrived – in Indian Standard Time. It wasn’t around when I did my Vogue comparison of the global March issues, but it compares nicely to Vogue Portugal, don’t you think?

Capris, over-the-knee boots, pointy shoes, asymmetry, jodhpurs - these are trends to some but have always been members of my fashion cabinet. I have loved and worn capris for as long as I have loved fashion (those who know me, know that I remain loyal to my true loves – they just become updated versions in [...]
It’s that time of year again…time to get your wrists in training for the semi-annual trek from the mag stand. The March issues are upon us. The magazine industry has been under a lot of fire lately and the relevancy of tomes such as Vogue in particular, are in question. Being part of a global [...]
