Chloe shows Fall 2011 collection in Miami, fashionista scratches head
During my required reading (a lady has to stay up on her fashion news) this week, it came to my attention that not every runway show in Miami last week showcased swimwear. Chloè, the chic brand that’s popular in consignment shops at prices that still seem near-retail, showed its fall line for the first time [...]

The Wintour Of Our Discontent

Only One Day Left!
You’re down to 36 hours, dear readers, to “Show Us Your Denim!” That’s right, the submissions are flying in fast and furious, but there’s always room for more.
