I recently told you that Rock & Republic would be launching at Kohl’s, and the time is here! Now you can shop key Rock & Republic pieces at Kohl’s online (the full collection launches in stores Feb. 15). And there’s something for everyone. The line features both men’s and women’s premium denim, apparel and shoes. I’m personally excited about the skinny jeans,... 

Even though this February will mark my 11th season attending New York Fashion Week, the excitement never ends! I’m looking forward to seven days of complete chaos and craziness – fashion shows, afterparties, celebrity sightings, presentations, fashion and beauty suites and many treks back and forth across the city. And I love it all. This season I’m excited to have been selected as...

CELEBRITIES: Rihanna has some choice words for the magazine who called her “De N*ggab*tch,” (they later apologized). The chanteuse called the editor and the magazine “a poor representation of the evolution of human rights.” She continued with: “u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That’s your contribution to this world! To encourage segregation, to mislead...

For Spring 2012, Cynthia Rowley debuted a collection of contrasting sporty and sweet looks. Her funky sportswear consisted of ‘mixed media’, like multiple iterations of perforated stretch fabrics (seen in tops, short-sleeved dresses and sleeves alone), gilded gold touches (overlaid on dresses, a ‘liquid’ gold skirt, shoes and handbags) plus an explosion of multicolored floral... 

There’s only one thing as bad as showing up on the red carpet dressed in the same outfit as someone else. And that thing is showing up to a fashion show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, dressed in the same designer’s dress as another celeb at the show! But supermodel Veronica Webb and singer Corinne Bailey Rae played it off nicely. The two posed together at the Sophie Theallet Spring 2012... 

Yesterday I attended the Hervé Léger by Max Azria Spring 2012 runway show. Known for its line of iconic bandage dresses, naturally the front row was packed to the brim with celebrities, (including singers & actresses Taraji P. Henson, Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Szohr and Michael Michele, plus models Selita Ebanks and Jessica White), who wear them. Those who say the bandage dress moment is over... 

For spring 2012, fashion house Timo Weiland took us on a trip to the beaches of Hawaii with Weiland and Alan Eckstein‘s surfer girl and guy inspired looks. “It’s Basquiat goes to Hawaii, goes surfing, and invites all his cool downtown city girls as guests,” Weiland said. Backstage, Ouidad created free-spirited, relaxed and natural hairstyles with a “surfers-gone-wild”...

Rachel Roy is a master at fashion experimentation. She’s not afraid to mix layers, prints and materials, and that was pretty evident in her 2011 Fall ready-to-wear collection. The looks were all about mixing. More casual top looks consisted of Roy’s signature trench coats sitting atop earth-toned sweaters, or neutral colored statement pieces like chunky fur vests and thick fur scarves.... 

St. John always exudes the aesthetic of a classic and carefree woman who lives for vacationing in, well, St. John, or some other fabulously chic Caribbean isle. But since this was the Fall collection, it was a touch more appropriate for perhaps Vail. We previewed the Fall 2011 collection which was full of belted coats (in leopard print and snow white), chubby fur jackets and fur stoles, cognac-colored...
