Eyes Like Laura Mars featuring Wolford
There's something slippery about Chris Han's Fall 2008 collection.
It's not really evening wear, and its not really day wear; to blur the categorical lines even further, Han gives floor-length skirts industrial details. She turns tulle gothic.
Feminine fabrics with blood red lips and black nail polish stir up memories of Laura Mars portrayed by Faye Dunaway. Like the film and its characters, the collection uses devices of femininity to portray darkness. It's a sexy darkness, but it's still dark. Matched with short leather gloves, and Transylvanian makeup (as Han chose to during the collection's unveiling at New York Fashion Week), the collection in its highly stylized context brings out the beauty... and the beast.more...

Geek Chic featuring Wolford
Carmen Marc Valvo, a New York-raised designer, dipped his toe into nerd-chic in his Fall 2008 runway show when he sent 'BUtterfield 8' inspired dual-satin gowns down the runway with 'Revenge of the Nerds' glasses. And boy did we notice. The juxtaposition of Buddy Holly specs with his red carpet classic Hollywood design fused fashion classicism with the look of unorthodox intellectualism. more...

'Scuse Me While I kiss the Sky featuring Wolford
Enjoy the wonder of spring fashions flowing linens, billowing chiffon and sheer layers in your own isolated windy city. Whether you're watching moments of uncanny chaos or the strange way the city grid eventually finds its own fluid motion, there's no better place to sit and have a think (or an afternoon drink.) more...

The Blue Angel featuring Wolford
During the Jazz Age, European cafe society retreated onto darkened stages and cellars to be entertained in the cabaret style. Worn on the body of Marlene Dietrich (who witnessed the blossoming of the dark, gender-challenging culture of postwar Berlin's hedonism), the lingerie-inspired costuming of Jean Louis was later to chisel a place in fashion iconoclasm in both Europe and America. more...

Water Water Everywhere featuring Wolford
Water is ubiquitous. Its distinct forms provide a myriad of qualities to inspire fashion. Ice is clean and structured. Vapor is sheer and ever-changing. And in its liquid state, water's waves and undulations exhibit both predictable patterns and mysterious rogue waves. For its mystery, familiarity and constant change, the movement and structure of water inspires and mirrors the static nature of fashion. Here are some refreshing fashions to quench your thirst. more...

Posh & Gloss featuring Wolford
The Twenties have often been cited as the era of inception of today's popular culture. Perhaps it is why we stubbornly continue to reference the style of the times. Or perhaps it's our identification with the roaring age that was "...anxious to enjoy itself, anxious to forget the past, anxious to ignore the future."* No matter, the reason, Gilded romanticism never seems to fade, and today's fashion designers continue to modernize its essence with garments that allow us to reflect our own light in big or small ways. more...
