Steven Madden Ltd. is venturing into womenswear. “I’m very excited about creating trend-right ready-to-wear for the Steve Madden customer,” said Mr. Madden.

I’m a huge fan of Karl’s work for Chanel, but when it comes to his namesake brand I feel we’re getting a bit shafted.

Amen, amen I say to you! Tome Ford recently told WWD that he will, in fact, be launching a womenswear line “very soon.” Ford’s businesspartner, Domenico De Sole, is on the hunt for some financing, and once the monetary aspect is all squared away, we can expect a womenswear collection to hit the runways about 18 months after! I sense some of the best androgyny is lurking in the near future!

Thanks NY Mag!

While there were definitely strong pieces in her collection, including this bowed asymmetrical pink gem,  I feel that this collection lacked the direction and vision of some recent women’s new comers. Still fresh from the mean halls of Parsons, Nima has all the potential to become a great fresh face, but first she needs a handle on styling a collection.

That’s what we had to say, check out what other blogs are saying about this collection.
