Just when John Galliano thought it was safe to go back in the (fashion) water, rather get out from drowning under water, comes The Galliano Conundrum - Part Deux. The Galliano Conundrum started that fateful day two years ago when John was drowning his sorrows in a pub...

Rachel Zoe or Snooki? Who'd you rather?

The Rachel Zoe vs. Snooki competition is on, but the question is, "Is it fierce?" It just so happens that both Rachel Zoe and Snooki have been featured in assorted publications styling photo shoots. One begs the question, now that The Rachel Zoe...

Let's get ready to rumble! 'Cause, now the competition is going to get really fierce between Harper's Bazaar and Vogue. The war of the fashion glossies is on. And, although Anna Wintour is sure to act like it's business as usual, "No big whoop," I am sure the backroom arm...

Black is the new black again. Black is everywhere this season. After years of being assaulted by color and prints, finally, everyone has come to their senses and once again we can safely say, "Black is the new black." Since 2009, editors and buyers had been screaming for...

The title of the film My Brilliant Career applies to "fashion wunderkind" Esteban Cortazar. I have been following and rooting for Esteban since he debuted his first ready-to-wear line in 2002 at the tender age of 18 to great acclaim. In 2007,...

Something strange is happening in the denim business that's affecting my desire to even wear jeans. Denim is so overexposed that it's begun to lose its fresh, fashionable appeal. A tight-fitting pair of jeans has -- and always will -- look very sexy on the right butt. But lately, more...

Here's my question. Not, why did they get married in the first place? Rather, will Kim rake in more money from the divorce than what she netted from the wedding? And if so, which ding-dong companies are lining up to sponsor the divorce? Will Range Rover provide cars to get...

What do Pink, Kylie, Gwen Stefani and Roxy Hart have in common? Kara DioGuardi.

On Tuesday, September 6, Kara DioGuardi opened on Broadway in Chicago, playing Roxy Hart. Perhaps best known as a judge on American Idol, Kara is a prolific songwriter with such hits as Sober (Pink), Spinning Around...

Don't get me wrong, I have been a cheerleader for Fashion's Night Out since the day it was first announced over three years ago. In fact, we rallied retailers that first year as there were plenty of skeptics. Naturally, Anna Wintour prevailed. The 3rd Annual Fashion's Night Out was a...

No one really celebrates Labor Day. Sure, we take off that Monday, but since Labor Day represents the end of summer and the return to school, who is celebrating? Mourning is more like it. Since kindergarten, the "End of Summer Stomach Ache" began on the Sunday afternoon, before...

Politicians are like an "IT" bag, and each season, there is a new "must-have." This Presidential season is going to be the Chanel of wind bags. You find me one candidate for President of the United States, present company and President included, that is not prone to hypocrisy, and I...

Who didn't love the first season of Jersey Shore? MTV hit pay dirt with their updated Big Brother starring Goombas and Goombettes--a peek into the lives of those Bridge and Tunnel types that you otherwise turned your nose up at. The show was a hoot. Snooki,...

Something wonderful happened in the aftermath of writing that story, "What The Gap Needs Now Is Love Sweet Love." The next day -- after my article had gone viral, having first submitted...

Couple of weeks ago, with an itch to see a summer film, though the offering so far seems lackluster, we were this close to seeing Super 8 when a review in The New York Times by Manohla Dargis led us to, of all places, Bad Teacher. According to Ms....

Do you promise to have the most excellent adventure? Well, isn't that how Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure would end if it was made now with the passing of the Marriage Act? So much is about to change in our culture to accommodate the legalization of gays getting married. Forget...

When the Galliano Debacle first happened, I was quick NOT to judge the man while he was drowning in his addictions and subsequent sorrows. After all, the teachings of Jesus Christ or is it Bill W. from Alcoholics Anonymous say that "forgiveness is the key". It...

Once again, photographer Rankin brings his iconic portrait photography to life with the Rankin Live spectacle currently under way in New York City. Rankin and his team have taken up residence at Milk Studios, where they are shooting a marathon series of portraits over the course...

What's with the teary goodbyes to Oprah? OK, so her afternoon chat show is going dark after 25 years, but surely Oprah is not about to pull a Greta Garbo and veer off into obscurity. Trust me, she does not want to be alone. On the contrary. Be...

The news that Patrick Robinson was fired last week from the Gap was not that shocking. The Gap has had a few cute moments since Patrick arrived on the scene, but consistency was lacking. You don't need me to ramble on and on about what did not work...
