EasyJet Mag Hit Hard
British airline company easyJet is scrambling to cover itself after it was revealed that a fashion editorial within the company’s in-flight magazine, easyJet Traveler, was shot in a location for which the publisher had not received permission: the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. Memorial director Uwe Neumarker explains that permission to use the location is granted […]
Stick it to the Airlines
What with baggage fees, wi-fi fees, fuel surcharges, peak travel surcharges, over-crowded airports, and downright surly flight crews, it sometimes seems that all the airlines do is sit around and conspire ways to make our travel experiences as heinous as possible (we’re looking at you Delta, United, and US Airways). However, farecompare.com has come up with a handy breakdown that lets […]
Cindy Tells It Like It Is
Last week, Hannah Pool from UK newspaper The Guardian sat down with [still super!] supermodel Cindy Crawford to discuss the current fashion industry, and one quotation struck us as particularly poignant, especially in light of recent backlash against Karl and his “fat mummies” and Kate and her taste for skinny: We as the consumers, we as […]
Hats Off!
Target has been really upping the ante with all the new design collaborations set to roll through within the next year. Next up are Cynthia Vincent and Eugenia Kim, whose footwear and hats, respectively, will be available for purchase during the spring 2010 season. Shoes are always a girl’s best friend, but this spring is […]
99 Problems, But Infidelity Ain’t One
We may have come a long way in the battle for gender equality, but we still live in a time where it’s okay for men to exhibit their “prowess” in a bid to show who’s king of the jungle. So it’s incredibly refreshing to hear that rap mogul and super-celeb Jay-Z is one of those […]
New Menswear Arrivals At Oak: Catch It While You Can
Whenever new pieces arrive at the Oak store, we start frantically counting all the change in the couch and wondering how to summon Mephistopheles to make up for our extreme wardrobe envy. New in the store are some great pieces for the boys, picked by Carl from The Fashionisto: we absolutely love the roomy long-sleeve crop […]
NY Fashion Goes Cross-Country
For years, New York City has been lauded (by mostly New Yorkers, but still) as the fashion capital of the world, but now NYC designers are casting a westward eye toward the more casual City of Angels. Henri Bendel, for example, has a couple new locations in Beverly Hills — and although NY designers are […]
Tavi Does Tokyo!
Tavi, our favorite pint-sized fashionista, is at the top of our “envy” list now that she’s been announced as Rei Kawakubo’s guest-of-honor at the Commes Des Garçons holiday party in Tokyo next Friday. We think it’s great to see how fashion bloggers like Tavi — who start out with absolutely zero connections — can make […]
Micheal Jackson: DNA fragrance
We aren’t sure how to approach this new fragrance except to let it speak for itself. My DNA Fragrance is a perfumery that specializes in perfumes based on the buyers DNA. The firm usually swabs the cheek of its clients and then provides a perfume accordingly. It’s all a little vague but they are launching […]
