Lindsay Lohan’s 6126 Fall Collection

May. 23rd 2010 by Mariana Davelaar (editor)

It doesn’t make sense, nor should it work, but it does.

Lindsay Lohan’s 6126 collection started as a leggings-only company, which was a bit questionable, but it seemed to capture the moment when leggings were hot, but hadn’t yet gone mass.

Now that practically every woman in American has multiple pairs of leggings and wears them under everything, what can this company do? Smartly, expand into ready-to-wear.

This is not fashion for every woman by any stretch of the imagination. Leggings (and jeggings) are the base for just about every outfit in this collection, which isn’t a bad thing. There are fuller, slouchy blouses, oversized cowl neck pullovers all in slick fabrics and most decorated with sequins or beading.

There are also sleek little form-fitting numbers that most would consider to be camisoles or perhaps even bustiers. Big mistake, these were La Lohan’s versions of dresses. The outerwear pieces were some of the best in the collection, a great motorcycle jacket with chain detail on the lapels and chic puffer coats with horizontal quilting.

For spring 2011 Lindsay is coming with a collection of 6126 handbags.

Talbots has long been synonymous with classic and conservative clothes your mom would wear.

Or rather, your mom used to wear, but even she’s evolved. And the good news is that Talbots recently woke up and realized that it  needed to evolve.

The company, that just closed an ambitious warrant exchange offer which will allow it to emerge in a much better financial position, is in year two of a three-year turnaround plan.

And this phase includes a repositioning to a place of style, and, dare we say, fashion?

NYFW trends fall 2010

Mar. 5th 2010 by Mariana Davelaar (editor)

During the New York Fashion Week we saw a lot of trends from conservative glamour till urban warriors we are getting excited for the fall.

Urban Warrior

Designers have always been fascinated with the idea of the strong woman. She usually appears after seasons of ultra-femme runways, but fall 2010 saw her evolve out of the tough, downtown chic that has dominated for a while. She appreciates a finely tailored coat, who prefers minimal to more, and who definitely loves a little luxury.
But just because she’s working the severe side of sexy doesn’t mean she’s immune to the fluffy stuff.
