SHOE ENVY: Pierre Hardy Goatskin Platform Sandals

Amanda Gabriele — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 17:00:04 +0000

Five point five inch platforms made of color blocked goatskin suede may be a rare combination, but it’s also known to be foot kryptonite. Pierre Hardy doesn’t skimp on rich fall colors like pumpkin, midnight and camel, nor on details like oversized buckles and thick leather soles. Get up, ladies, and slip into something a little grander.

The Dish on Thanksgiving Feast Fashion

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:50:50 +0000

Time is a-ticking closer to the one day a year when it is socially appropriate to stuff our faces and gorge our bodies with salty, buttery, meaty, buttery, delicious, salty, carbaceous foodstuffs. The spread is beautiful but the aftermath is less so; the words “bloated” and “food baby” come to mind. Which is why you need a specific kind of outfit to cope with such matters. Here are some options for hiding the tummy stretch that happens on Thanksgiving. Or make like present-day Karl Lagerfeld and his bevy of models and just smell the food…

Kill two birds with one stone with this method. Stretch pants will allow for slight expansion, as your turkey baby grows inside of you. Wild patterns will camouflage any food that lands astray as your tripping on tryptophan.

The name of the game is Slouch. Find something with a wide set body that tszujes at the sleeves. This way you're totally concealed from the bloat. Or from a baby for that matter. With these, I recommend a pair of leggings, so at least part of the body is slim.

Some extra fabrication will conceal any bloat you incur from the lavish spread before you. Pleats expand and contract without much notice.

This might look similar to the pleating concept, but I assure you, there's a difference. With this, we advise you find a skirt with an elastic band and gathers at the waist. It's not that you're going to get fat over one gigantic meal, but between the salt, the all-American butter and that the majority of your day will be dedicated to eating, you're going to want some wiggle room.

Teach Us Phillip Lim, You Are The Master

Amanda Gabriele — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:06:38 +0000

We could all learn a thing or two from design expert and style virtuoso Phillip Lim, and how to properly layer for fall is one of his lessons from which everyone should take note. “I love the play between seemingly opposing ideas… this tension created is always unexpected and completely relevant,” Lim said. Whether you’re a man or a woman with impeccable taste, Phillip Lim’s Style Masterclass will teach you something good. Link to the video after the jump.

IT TEE: The Corner Partners with Tom Notte e Bart Vandebosch

Saynt — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:35:05 +0000

The Corner, Yoox’s venture into the territory of little known designers, has just announced a partnership with Tom Notte e Bart Vandebosch of Les Hommes (who the fuck?!? my thoughts exactly) The fresh designer, who spent his youth designing for Hussein Chalayan, has created a “whimsical t-shirt” that plays with geometric forms and shades of gray and black. It’ll be available exclusively on the corner and will most likely cost as much as a rent payment.

Either way, I’m really loving The Corner, pretty good site for expensive, exclusive fashion items for men.
