While clothes, hair and makeup are the first aspects of fashion that come to mind when I think about Fashion Week, accessories are a key [...]

ThisThatBeauty’s Exclusive Coverage of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall/2010: Lacoste channels Benetton

Anyone else feeling a Benetton circa 1980something moment coming on?

This year’s Lacoste collection is an interesting (slight) departure from the brand’s core design aesthetic.

Who Did The Damn Thing?

Last week I wrote an informative little diddy titled “The Rules of Engagement: End of Season Deals“. If you haven’t read it, you should. I dished lots of tasty morsels on how to snag great end of season buys.
In the article I featured a white hot little acquisition by Loeffler Randall. It was practically a [...]
