Amongst the things to do aside from runway during Paris Fashion Week include indulging on pain au chocolats, having un biere at La Perle and chowing down on Moroccan goodness at Chez Omar. But Paris especially lends itself to random walking and ditching of itineraries. As such, we stopped by not a runway show, but [...]

Not committed to the clog revival? Well, even if you are on the clog-hopping bandwagon, chances are some offices won’t be too keen with pairing the wood-soled pairs with business casual duds. Meet Alexander Wang’s Trish Loafer Mules. It has a clog feel but with a bit of mannish detail courtesy of traditional loafer tassels. [...]

Is Tommy Hilfiger taking a note from Madonna and figuring for a reinvention? The designer who shot to fame (and overexposure) with his all-American credos is going artsy. Hilfiger has tapped Keith Haring’s dynamic artwork for a collection of graphic footwear. The limited edition collection will first debut at Paris’ Colette this February before hitting [...]

Let’s face it, trolling through Salvation Army in NYC can be a depressing experience. Not that there isn’t that great find once in a lucky moon, but most of these places are picked clean from local consignment shops and loftier vintage shops. Such is the case, that vintage has become a curated experience. But all’s [...]

Is Alexander McQueen back to his enfant terribles ways? Just when we thought he had started to veer towards more commercially approachable shows, the designer goes pedal-to-the-floor fashion forward by taking us back in time to slithering serpents and evolutionary monsters. Plus with SHOWStudio in the house filming the show live, the whole feel was [...]

The collection started off with luxurious takes on tennis classics such as filmy tennis dresses and lush tennis sweaters. But smart to keep the concept in check,  Gaultier followed up with some of the house’s [...]

The reviews for Stefano Pilati’s Yves Saint Laurent collection for Spring 2010 have been mixed. Decide for yourself. FABRIC has the YSL runway video from Paris Fashion Week.

From the classical music playing before the show started to the beautifully fringed skirts, Giambattista Valli pays attention to detail. And this devotion to the little things has earned him a deserved group of fans both young and old. For Spring 2010, the silhouette often was loose at the waist and had voluminous rosettes or [...]

Naomi Campbell got the crowd clapping and cheering when she opened (and closed) the Chapurin show at Paris Fashion Week. (Did Naomi meet Russian designer Igor Chapurin through her Russian financier boyfriend?) Well gossip-y speculation aside, the clothes were perfectly pretty and very well made with several cocktail winners sure to be at a Moscow [...]

With a front row including Rihanna and Katy Perry, Karl Lagerfeld’s Spring Summer 2010 show was already off to a media frenzy. The looks though, were clean and precise. There were some coats and jackets with long hems folded back to create graphical structure and fabrics stood away from the body. Lagerfeld also experimented with [...]
