At MFW:...
The way that New Yorkers are infamous for their love of black, the Milanese could be similarly considered synonymous with the opposite: color.http://www.ladylux.com/style/site/article/milan-fashion-week-trend-colorblock/ Posted via email from ladylux’s posterous | Comment »
Atelier Minyon designer discusses new collections
Growing up in Turkey, Alp Sagnak realized that his personal tastes didn’t always coincide with his strict Muslim upbringing. With an appreciation for rock ‘n’ roll and tattoos, Sagnak doesn’t necessarily sound like a shoe-in for the traditional family business, Atelier Minyon, an ornate, Turkish jewelry...
At MFW: Boho Bliss
“Bohemian beachcomber done luxe” was how Emilio Pucci designer Peter Dundas reportedly introduced his new Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Back in the day, Pucci was associated with hypnotic, neon, eye-popping graphics that were fun, fashionable and great with a pair of white boots. Nowadays, Dundas is mellowing the Italian brand out with muted jewel tones and delicate, ruffled cuts. Trading the...
Q&A: Mickey Drexler of J.Crew
J.Crew just keeps getting better and better. The company, in business now for almost three decades, opened another great men’s store at the beginning of this month, this time uptown, on Madison Avenue and 79th Street. With a cool new very offbeat American look-antique shaving utensils adorn the shelves, along with great vintage books and even better new unique magazines-and a very woody...

At Milan Fashion Week: White
Although New York Fashion Week saw quite a bit of color during their first days on the catwalk, there was one predominant hue in Milan’s opening shows, or lack thereof: white. Fendi, Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s new label No. 21 and Francesco Scognamiglio all had head-to-toe white ensembles for their first looks.http://www.ladylux.com/style/site/article/milan-fashion-week-white/ Posted via email...

LUX Style Files: Leopard Obsession
For Fall 2010, leopard is all the rage and expressing your inner courturious feline is in!

All that matters in this season’s trend is you finding your perfect animal inspired style statement and wearing it with...
Jeffrey Monteiro Continues Legacy at Bill Blass
This New York Fashion Week saw the second collection of Jeffrey Monteiro for Bill Blass, the fifth designer to take over the storied fashion house in 11 years. The collection was shown the morning of the last day, strategically perhaps the best day for one’s collection to be seen, since we always remember what we’ve seen last. It’s no wonder that fellow big names were on view that day too, such...
