Norma Kamali: The Future of Fashion is 3D

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 17:00:53 GMT

Fashion is constantly changing: styles get redefined and trends rise and fall. But how we see and experience the looks on a typical runway has changed. Imagine shopping online and seeing the clothes on the models up close and in a three-dimensional manner. Ever the forward thinking innovator, Norma Kamali has launched a new 3D website.

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 05:36:13 GMT

Diesel has that downtown edge that everyone craves, and this year the jaw dropping trend that became the must-have of spring is metallic. And by metallic, I don't just mean little traces of it, but rather big hints of shine.

Pure White at Rachel Zoe

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 05:16:59 GMT

From knit off-the-shoulder sweaters to floor length maxi skirts, the Rachel Zoe collection was at moments head-to-toe white. The dominance of this neutral hue brought a crisp brightness to the collection and provided a reminder that the absense of color is at times the most appealing. This most feminine thread through the collection was presented in sheer blouses, palazzo pants, and textured can... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:35:24 GMT

You've seen the trend everywhere: on clothing, hair, accessories, and now it's on nails. The fading of one color to another, or ombre as it is better known, can now be worn on your hands. CND and Wanda Ruiz recently created dramatically attractive nails for Jen Kao's Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

DKNY is one of those collections I'm always looking forward to see on the runway for my personal fashion inspiration - I can always relate to the clean, body forgiving cuts and the muted color palette.

Trias was somewhat of a disappointment. Yes, the line was contructed with ease, but too much simplicity lacks all appeal.
