We can always look to V magazine for daring and interesting photos. Jamie Bochert appears to be “the face” as of late; from those unique Marc Jacobs ads, to various magazine ads and spreads. She wears well, the featured designer offerings. I’m especially loving the Givenchy jumpsuit, Celine’s “feathery confection”, Chanel’s black dress, along with Lanvin’s leopard dress and red pumps.

The Neck Piece

Edited by Lisa Goodwin

The runway neck piece is an entirely different realm than the usual necklace. Big, bold, fanciful and over-the-top, which lends to the overall presentation. Lanvin turns out some of the most unique pieces, which are a vast departure from those rather demure pieces that are touted online. The alexander McQueen is another breathtaking offering;a sculptural masterpiece with it’s kaleidoscope of colors! Marni is another favorite along with Dolce & Gabbana. Emilio Pucci’s feathered beauty is another site to behold…..Oh to get my hands on one!

Kostar Gives the Finger

Edited by Lisa Goodwin

For a few of the same reasons we all love our friends, they are intelligent, brash, yet have a great sense of humor. Best of all they are professional without sacrificing innovation and manage to get their message through.

Just check out their latest ad on the presidential election, it’s certainly one the average New Yorker can attest to.

Kanye’s Shade Fetish

Edited by Lisa Goodwin

I have nothing against sunglasses when worn in the sun or at least during daytime hours.

But I find it a tad pretentious when people wear them indoors for more than 15 minutes, (just in case they forget to remove them). Even more so when you are having a conversation with a person and they fail to remove their unnecessary eye-wear out of respect. What ever happened to eye contact!?

Well, here is a text book case of a pretentious, cocky, eye-wear whore…

Mr. Kanye West.

I wonder if he has a room just for his shades…

This could just be a phase, possibly a disease… an ego disease, that is. Whatever it may be let’s hope he doesn’t try to take credit for the popularity of sunglasses or even worse, create a label!

Style Watch at People.com

Edited by Lisa Goodwin

Time for some merciless comentary on People.com’s, Celeb Fashion Hit or Miss.

Cate Blanchett:  She’s pregnant?  Hm, considering her physical condition this look will do.  Though I wouldn’t necessarilly call it a hit.  If there is any time to play it safe and keep it as simple as possible, it’s with child.

Heidi Klum:  This woman can do no wrong!  Here she is wearing designer tin foil that looks as though the mini dress was sewn on to her yet she is gracefully at ease.  Expect an ode to the Goddess in the near future.

Ashlee Simpson: Along with the hair color, I’m not so fond of black thigh-high boots with anything.  It’s a tough look to pull, few have been successful… therefore, I’m on the fence.

Marion Cotillard:  No contest.   If I have to stare at a dress long enough for it to loom some appeal then it should never be worn in public.  The shoes are cute though.

Kerry Washington:  The look is lovely, but not quite the ensemble for the Spririt Awards.  I’m not sure if there is a glamour preference according to an  award show’s caliber, whatever it is I don’t think this is it.

Kate Beckinsale:  Definitely a hit.  What more could I say?

Julianne Moore: Hit, and not because I love red-heads.  Black with green floral compliments her fair skin and rich hair color.

Jada Pinkett Smith:  I haven’t seen Jada in a photo, film or show for quite some time but from the looks of things this lady takes care.  Here she is attending the same award show as Ms. Washington above in what seems more award-worthy attire.

Sharon Stone: Animal prints can make or break you.  The choice of brown zebra is refreshing and easy on the eyes (when tamed), though it would be just fine without the chemise-like, matching jacket-thing.  My vote teeters between hit and miss… Which makes it an automatic MISS.  I shouldn’t have to “teeter.”

So unfortunate to end with a miss…

But that’s that folks.

Brooklyn’s Finest Vena Cava

Edited by Lisa Goodwin

The fashion scene is Brooklyn has become a veritable hodgepodge of great looks for the new Bohiem. Every week we discover a new talent carving a path for themselves in the outer city.  One of our favorite designers is Vena Cava, the recent CFDA/Vogue nominee that has been packing the shelves of local boutiques with row after row of wearable treats.  The work of Brooklyn residents, Lisa Mayok and Sophie Buhai, Vena Cava has transversed the local landscape to give us a fresh take on girlish chic.  Originally from L.A. and Pasadena, their hometown influences can be clearly seen in their spring 2008 collection.  Check it out…        After the jump …  more on their spring inspirations.  

Williamsburg Fashion Weekend

Edited by Lisa Goodwin

Brooklyn’s trendy microcosm and number one gentrification hot-spot, Williamsburg, has organized their 2nd annual Fashion Weekend. The event will occur the 15th and 16th at Monster Island and I am certainly one to vouch, you do not want to pass this up. Last year’s show was packed with the hippest of the hip, thus suis generis attire is encouraged. You should also recognize this show will be like no other for Monster Island is an art space as well so free your mind and expect nothing… or everything.For further knowledge visit:
