 I’ve always been impressed by Vena Cava‘s ability to turn potentially unforgiving materials a la satin, silk and chiffon into figure flattering gems. I assume the process of doing so isn’t exactly cost-effective – what with the $300 – $700 price range and all – but . . . → GO ON… Vena Cava + Aqua: Good Idea, Bad Execution

 Mmkay, so, Mulberry bags are EFFING GORGEOUS. This is precisely why the line’s attempt at a fast fashion collection is so ludicrous: Target-produced pleather, canvas, velvet, PVC, et. al. can’t hold a candle to buttery leather bags in the $750 – $1,150 range.

 It appears even my stellar brand knowledge is susceptible to trickery. In spite of similar name/logo styling, the Sevens Jean Shorts on which I previously posted are NOT 7 for All Mankind. The real deal also goes for around $17.00 at Buff Ex, so I’m guessing . . . → GO ON… Sevens Retraction, Mulberry for Target

 The fact that the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund capsule collections are exclusive to GAP’s 5th Avenue ‘Concept Store’ (pretension alert) is no accident. It’s good business. Limiting the collections to NYC does two things:
(1) Targets a market obsessed with fashion enough to get ripped off at the GAP
(2) Makes it (and New York) seem special, because *exclusive* implies dwindling supply and excess demand (neither of which actually exist). . . . → GO ON… Gap CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Collection Strategically Exclusive

 Fashionista released the first images of Zac Posen for Target last week. Here’s my knee-jerk reaction to a selection of the JPEGs.
The Raincoat – dig the color, cut looks reasonably flattering.
The Ruched Skirt – meh overall, demerits for an in-between length that makes 90% of . . . → GO ON… Zac Posen for Target All Kinds of Ick

 Yesterday afternoon, I checked out the second installment of Jil Sander x Uniqlo (a.k.a. +J). It did not disappoint. The Spring collection proved more varied than its Winter counterpart, but still managed to maintain Sander’s sleek, minimalist chic.
Egads! I just sounded like a fashion writer there. . . . → GO ON… Dressing Room Shots: Uniqlo + J Spring 2010

 Mmkay, it’s been weeks since the launch of Commes des Garcons x The Beatles, so maybe this isn’t the most timely of reactions. Whatever. I’m not throwing in my nine cents now to bitch about Commes des PouPou’s elitist perversion of the best band ever.

 Target announced an upcoming collabs with Zac Posen today, and everyone’s flipping their respective nuts. This bean-spillage on behalf of the big box is a highly strategic move: It’s almost enough to distract me from the ‘collection’ slated to launch in a few weeks. Almost.

 Before discussing the individual offerings of Jimmy Choo for H&M, I’m going to attempt to rationalize the pricing scheme behind the line. The designer from whence said line comes is Tamara Mellon, the brand’s founder and president. Her Wikipedia page bears the cautionary warning: This article . . . → GO ON… Jimmy Choo Gives H&M Shoppers Chance to Experience Monetary Guilt
