Boutique Critique:: The Reformation NYC: Look 5

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

The Reformation, named for both Martin Luther’s Reformation to a simpler approach, and for the concept of reforming vintage clothes, is a favorite among reformed shoppers like Leighton Meester, Emma Roberts, and Shenae Grimes. Their reasons for shopping The Reformation on the regular could be its low environmental impact from only using vintage clothing and dead stock fabric, or the one-of-a-kind quality of it being made by hand in-house, or the sexy effects of lace, washed silk, breezy prints and zippers. All of those points and more have driven Fashion Indie to it, making this week’s Boutique Critique sustainably sexy.

Loving this white Pucci dress Rachel wore to the premier of The Time Traveler’s Wife…not sure about the shoulderpads!

STREET HEROES: Tao Tao

Edited by Hillary Frazier

Not sure why I hated when my mom wore shoulder pads, because they’re my new favorite look.  After seeing Lykke Li at Webster Hall in a pink jacket with amazing shoulders, I’ve decided this is the next big thing. Such a dramatic, awesome look. Awesome job, Tao

Strong Shoulders, Not For the Weak Minded

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

We heard of the comeback of the strong shoulders, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it on streets. Def not for the weak minded, this look excudes confidence and a very fashion forward attitude.

Thanks Sartorialist for the pics

Street Heroes: Parisian Shoulder Pads

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Been seeing and hearing of the return of the shoulder pads, not a fan, but loving this coat with very distinct angular shoulder pads.
