Hairstyles come in waves. Waves were the biggest thing on the red carpet at the Golden Globes this year. Oh, and there was big hair, too. Regardless of style, however, there was a common theme that clipped them all together – movement. Of course, with all the hair spray that was used that night, the [...]

Remember that scene in The Devil Wears Prada where Miranda Priestly talks about the turquoise belt and the “pile of stuff”?     Well, it’s what I call fashion’s trickle down effect. There are so many shows and designers these days and immediate access to all of it, all the time means that the inspiration [...]

It’s been a loooong weekend, my dears, so just one Golden Globes post tonight, with lots more to follow in the coming days. I give you my best dressed, each for very specific reasons, and in no particular order. I loved Andrea Riseborough in Auntie Viv’s regal gown. Riseborough is English and she chose a [...]

As far as red carpets go, the pickings at the People’s Choice Awards this year were slim. It was pretty easy to choose a best dressed. With the homogenization of fashion these days, and the ubiquity of the celeb stylist role, everyone thinks they can wear just about everything and – everyone is. While there [...]

Proof that you don’t have to be twenty-something to sparkle on the red carpet… I know many of you will say it’s too much, but I think Sharon Osbourne looked great. The dress moved really well when she went up to present and she’s got the personality to pull it off. And – she didn’t [...]

It’s only 10:15 and there’s 45 minutes still to go, but I am calling my best dressed. It’s Emma Stone in green, black and white Gucci. In a sea of sequins and bare backs, it is clearly a front-runner and my top pick for tonight’s red carpet. Buckle yourselves in – awards season has begun. [...]

That Visionary view is at it again. Not satisfied by the eye of others, Mr. Ford relied on his very own to photograph the SS12 campaign for the brand that bears his name. We like what we see, don’t we? How can we afFord not to? Images: Photos by Tom Ford, via WWD.

Here’s a better shot of the Union Jack jacket I mentioned yesterday. It’s the result of a collaboration between Alexander McQueen and David Bowie and Mr. Bowie opened his Earthling tour in 1996-97, back turned, wearing it. It was a fashion moment I shall not forget. It also made an appearance on the album’s cover [...]

Aladdin Sane, Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke – and David Bowie – all turned 65 today. Happy Birthday to the man of many guises – the original image breaker, style maker and never faker.

My trek through my fashion archives continues. It’s going to be a long and slow journey, as I keep stopping and sighing at every image. Isn’t this little bauble by Michele Marzotto drool-worthy? Image is from my digital archives and the original source is not known.

As the New Year saunters in, I am slowly working my way through cleaning out a few drawers and closets – and that includes my digital fashion archive, too. As I find things to fall in love with all over again, I’ll share them in this space.  Yesterday, I had an arrrrgh moment. Today, it’s [...]

These are the boots that got away from me – and Daphne. They are from my fashion archives and thus, undated, but I think they are from FW05. They are included in the Daphne Guinness exhibit at the Museum at FIT, if you need a closer look before January 7th. Image: Polyvore.
