Black Fleece
I think what Brooks Brothers is doing with their Black Fleece line is spot on, I visited the shop on Bleecker Street, the staff was super helpful and the vibe at the store was relaxed and unpretentious.
everybody is doing it..
It is all about collaboration, even Hermes is working with Colette on a bunch of hip new scarves to appeal to a different target market. The scarves will be in the Shop for Fall 2010.
Lovely Bones
I love Riccardo Tisci’s collection for Givenchy, it’s not very Audrey, but then again there will never be another Audrey.

Martina Sorbara of Dragonette is hot
I recently shot the captivating and intelligent Martina Sorbara of Dragonette, check it out in the current issue of Dress to Kill magazine.
heaven is a place on earth
I’m often asked where is my favorite place to shoot, I have been to some great location, some stunning ones here in Canada, but one that rates amongst my top five would have to be the secluded gem that is Cape Santa Maria,Long Island Bahamas….
The beach is pristine and I mean PRISTINE, one can wade for hours in the ankle deep water, it’s paradise.

The Fashion Jungle
Animal print was out in full force in the crush that led up to the eagerly anticipated Dolce and Gabbana show.
The devotes were out in full force, including Rachel Zoe and Bryan Boy. The Gentlemen did not disappoint, many a fashion editor was almost moved to tears, widely considered to be one of the top shows of Milan Fashion week,the show was presented online and watched all over the world. Kirk Pickersgill from Greta Constantine was full of emotion after the show and revealed that it reminded him why he “wanted to be a designer”
Prada kink
I had the pleasure of viewing the Prada collection for fall 2010 in the spectacular Prada show space. The Prada collection is one that must be seen up-close to appreciate, it is a world that “Fast Fashion” can not compete in.
The whole feeling I get from the Prada collection is subversive sexuality. Only Prada can make p.v.c. Lady like.
I’ve believe you have more sexual power when you leave something to the imagination, Mrs. Prada seems to agree with me. I’ve always had a weakness for fashion from the late 50′s early 60′s when so much was happening behind the doors of the perfect lady’s home… I feel this collection reflects the power of such masterful directors like Wong Kar Wai, The sexual tension in movies such as In The Mood for Love is exaggerated by the emotion repression the characters are engulfed in.
The only shoes that felt new this season were the ones presented by Prada, all those stacked platforms one sees on the streets and in other collections just seem tired and old. The Fall 2010 Prada colection is the perfect wardrobe for Eva Marie Saint to seduce Cary Grant in a modern North by Northwest.
Anna at Marni
Marni is the first show this Sunday … Bright eyed and bushy tailed…not !!! Try getting a coffee in Milan on a Sunday morning.
Anna is in the front talking with Robin Gihvan… All the Marni faithful are here.. It’s like church for the fashion crowd
Ferretti’s magical forest
The Fall 2010 Ferretti Collection was presented in the beautiful Palazzo Del Senato on Via Senato Milan to a jam packed crowd. The presentation was full of beautiful details that have become synonymous with the house of Ferretti.
If you are a celebrity looking for an evening gown to wear at the Oscars you need look no further than Alberta Ferretti. the gowns on the runway were an ode to feminine beauty.
There was something vaguely grecian yet modern about them. They were slinky without looking common, though if you have size dd implants (you know who you are… take them out right away)
The models looked ravishing, elegant and current.
Anna Wintour was in the front row and sat graciously for her photo’s
