The Edgy South

The Edgy South | Charlie: "It’s a library of vintage goods and impeccable design – tooled leather purses line one wall, while another is occupied by a very striking black feather-like coat retailing for under $100. Across the room, items from the Fall 2011 collection hang perfectly above chain and gemstone harnesses. We’ll go ahead and note now: Don’t be afraid of the phrase “chain and gemstone harness.” It goes quite well over a classic black shift. Or, over nothing…if you’re that kind of daring. When asked if she thinks her style is too brassy for what was once a quaint southern town, Snider’s quick to retort, “ I definitely do not think it’s too edgy. I’ve always thought Charleston is a very open-minded and fashion-forward city. I am constantly inspired by it’s residents and hope I can do the same.” . . ."

The Kooples

The Kooples, a new label, is the latest entrant to the United States market from a family of fashion entrepreneurs. . . . Alexandre, 37, designs the men’s wear, while Lauren, 36, creates the women’s. Raphael, 26, handles branding and imagery. Raised in Toulouse, France, the trio now lives on the same Right Bank street in Paris (Alexandre and Lauren on the same floor of one building), and bear a striking resemblance to one another, favoring an androgynous silhouette, buttons embossed with skulls and crossbones and Savile Row tailoring. Their ad campaign, ubiquitous in Europe and soon to blanket the United States, features real-life couples (some same-sex) ages 20 to 65 and photographed on Paris’s Rue Saint-Honoré and London’s Brick Lane and in the meatpacking district of New York. Last fall, there was “Devendra and Ana” — the Venezuelan-American musician Devendra Banhart and the Serbian photographer and designer Ana Kras, now his fiancée — flirting, kissing and holding hands. . . . read more at NYTimes link above

Executive editor of Women’s Wear Daily Bridget Foley

Bridget Foley, the executive editor of Women’s Wear Daily, is little known outside the fashion world, but she wields enormous clout within it.

Bridget Foley Lives in the Seat of Power - NYTimes.com: " . . . WWD, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010, has hung on to its niche as the organ that is to fashion what Variety is to entertainment or Billboard is to the music world — the garment trade’s paper of record. It is “the go-to source,” said Robert Burke, a former executive at Bergdorf Goodman and now a consultant on luxury brands, “one that today can still make an enormous impact, positively or negatively, in its coverage.” Yet Ms. Foley, who arrived at the paper in the mid-1980s, when she was in her early 20s, wears her authority lightly, having over the years mostly deflected the kind of attention that comes with the turf. In a climate that rewards ambition and strenuous self-promotion, she chooses, perversely, to keep her personal life under wraps, remaining to all but a handful of insiders elusive, eccentric, even mysterious — perhaps the most powerful voice in fashion without a public face. . .

Carven Fall/Winter 2013-14 FIRST LOOK - Paris Fashion Week video



Carven Fall/Winter 2013-14 FIRST LOOK - Paris Fashion Week video - "We wanted this woman to be vulnerable but attractive at the same time," says GUillaume Henry of his Fall 2013 collection for Carven at Paris Fashion Week. Makeup is plain and fresh, with hair held back by a headband. There a lot of girly details, pinks, and more but they are juxtaposed with an aggressive side, which is also being pushed through latex, zebra prints and heavy shoes. Others compare it to a cozy blanket or a plush toy. Above all, everything is wearable.  Appearances: Samantha Gradoville, Elsa Sylvan, Nina Haverkamp, Yumi Lambert, Tilda Lindstam, Kel Markey, Marine Deleeuw, Katlin Aas, Linda Fargo (Bergdorf Goodman), Ines de la Fressange, Manon Leloup, Magda Laguinge
