Runway Walks / Current Talks

Futuristic meets fetishism, Thierry Mugler’s designs have always stood out among his peers. His ability to craft garments that feel all at once relevant and yet still futuristic almost 30 years after their creation is impressive to say the least. This week, we take a look back on his career and most memorable shows - and there were a lot to choose from. We also take a look at what he’s been up to lately, #Muglarized. Plus in Style ...

Luxury conglomerates are commonplace now, but back in the 1980’s the idea was laughable. Why would you amass so many brands under one umbrella? What benefit could that possibly serve? Well if you’re Bernard Arnault or Francois Pinault, I’d say the benefits (or profits rather) have been sizeable to say the least. This week we take a look at what you should do when you buy (or relaunch) a brand and the luxury powerhouses behind some ...

What does your favorite piece of clothing mean to you? What memories does it invoke? Has it become more than just clothing? Netflix’s new series Worn Stories, based on the book by Emily Spivack, explores just that. Organized by themes, the show takes a look at people’s deep connection to what they wear. This week we reflect on the series and our own Worn Stories. Listen in to hear what we consider to be the most meaningful piece in...

Hey Upper East Siders, we’re calling all Gossip Girl fans to join us this week as we take a look back at some of the show’s most memorable looks and the lasting impact of the now iconic show. Few other shows have captured a character’s essence as well as this show did. I mean, you say Blair Waldorf and you immediately think headband. Chuck Bass? Velvet blazer and cravat. Serena van der Woodsen? Boho chic jetsetter. We also muse on ...

It’s our birthday episode! After a year of lockdown, we tentatively decided to venture out into the real world for some in person shopping. Of course, we made sure to do so in a responsible manner complete with double masks and an appointment to avoid overcrowding. Our first (and only) stop was Mod + Jo, a boutique jewelry company with their only brick and motor store in Dallas’s Bishop Arts District. Listen in to hear our experien...

With another busy fashion month behind us, we wanted to take a minute to catch up on some Style Snacks. First, we reflect on the incredible career and loss of Elsa Peretti, legendary Tiffany jewelry designer. We also discuss the controversial hiring and eventual firing of Alexi McCammond at Teen Vogue. In more positive news, Anouck Duranteau-Loeper was named the head of the Chambre Syndicale de la Mode Féminine, the governing body ...

Hello ski vibes! A seemingly unlikely combo, we saw a ton of ski lodge, parka vibes coming out of Paris this Fall. But luckily it was balanced with the city’s usual level of aloof chicness, so thank goodness for that. Listen in to hear how our brackets shaped up with our final six pics, Each x Other, Elie Saab, Louis Vuitton, Dawei Studio, Courreges and Miu Miu. We also discuss Thom Browne, Dior, Chanel, Schiaparelli  and Givenchy....

Why is it that Milan is always where things fall apart? This season was no different with our first no score show of the season. It wasn’t all rough going though. Listen in to hear the winners and losers for our picks: Drome, Alabama Muse, Marco Rambaldi, MSGM, OOF Wear and mooRER. And we’re finally able to round out New York with Alejandra Alonso Rojas. Plus in Style Snacks, we dissect the Andre Leon Talley house drama, talk all t...

London was probably our biggest wildcard this season as both our brackets were stacked with unfamiliar designers. Lucky for us, our picks served up some surprisingly fun, quirky and want to wear now looks. Listen in to hear our reviews for JORDANLUCA, Jamie Wei Huang, A.W.A.K.E Mode, Edward Crutchley and 16Arlington. And we have to give a special callout to Lupe Gajardo for serving up the funniest digital presentation we’ve ever se...

Not even a country wide winter storm could stop the kickoff of Fashion Month! And thank goodness because we all needed something good. New York didn’t disappoint with Proenza Schouler acting as a particularly bright spot and Jason Wu giving us some covet worthy coats. Rebecca Minkoff was consistent offering her usual easy to wear dresses and bags, but this time with vegan leather options. This week’s Style Snacks is entertainment j...

The gang’s all here! Mike and Nick join Whitney and Liz this week to help pick designers for the next Game of Clothes. This season will be completely random and up to fate as Nick and Mike draw designers at random for the brackets. Listen in to see who Liz and Whitney will have for each city! Plus in Style Snacks, the SATC Samantha debate continues (and Nick is surprisingly invested in the outcome) and LVMH and Rihanna hit the paus...

More than 15 years after the last episode’s air date, SATC is making a return to the small screen. Is it necessary? How will the characters deal with a drastically different New York? What will they be discussing now? Fashion? Sustainability? Social media? Social distancing? And just what are they going to do with the whole Samantha situation? So many questions… and so much fun to speculate. This week we jump into some of the bigge...

It’s HC week again! And while we’re still missing in person shows, designers found ways to wow us all the same. This week we take a look at the highlights from the HC Masters - Chanel, Dior, Fendi and Giambattista Valli. And while those shows were consistently good, it was really the new wave that impressed us this week. Exciting looks from Schiaparelli’s Daniel Roseberry stole the week, along with Alber Elbaz’s debut of AZ Factory...

Stylish, elegant and glamourous – three words that immediately come to mind when thinking of Carolina Herrera. Also synonymous with Herrera, crisp white shirts. Lots and lots of them. This week, we take a look at the incredibly fashionable life and career of a woman who redefined American elegance. We also explore the exciting new chapter of the brand under Wes Gordon and why the pairing works so well. Plus in Style Snacks, inaugur...

We’ve all come to terms with the fact that things are going to be digital for a while longer. And I think we can all agree that we’re over sweatpants and in need of a little glamour. So this week we’re taking a look at virtual red carpets and online styling. Celebrities and stylists are capitalizing on this moment to break out of traditional styling expectations, instead opting for some surprising choices for film premieres and awa...

Well, this was not how 2021 was supposed to start. Riots at the Capitol have cast a dark shadow on the new year and their impact will last long into the future. Not dissimilarly is the matter of this week’s main story, John Galliano and his complicated legacy. Galliano quickly rose to fame first through his own label, Givenchy and finally Dior. During his tenure at Dior, the company became a billion-dollar success and he was at the...

Welcome to 2021! And while we may have taken off a couple of weeks for the holidays, fashion news did not. This week we catch up on everything that happened during break and in true 2020 fashion it was anything but dull. First up, we remember Pierre Cardin and Stella Tennant who both passed prior to the new year. Next, Conde Nast is making moves with Anna Wintour’s promotion to Chief Content Officer and Vogue’s announcement of a ne...

While this year might look a little different in terms of holiday parties, that doesn’t mean that holiday styling is any less important. This week we review potential options for everything from Holiday Work Parties to Christmas Eve to New Year’s. And the most important rule this season? Dress to bring yourself joy. Dress up, dress down, just make sure you have fun with it! Then in Style Snacks, Louis Vuitton has a last minute gift...

Like everyone else, we’ve binged Season 4 of The Crown and our interest in Princess Diana’s style has been reignited. From her early countryside looks to the sexy post-divorce dresses, Princess Diana developed a distinct style and often used her clothes to speak for her when she could not otherwise. This week we take a look back at her rise to royalty, style evolution and most famous looks. It’s no surprise that we’re still taking ...
