The Cyber Monday numbers are in and it has been reported that they've exceeded last year's numbers by 15 percent. Online purchases came to $846 million this year, from a period of Black Friday through Cyber Monday.
We want to let this story die...but we just can't. NY Mag posted their own round-up of rumors and analysis regarding Anna Wintour's supposed departure from American Vogue. The plot thickens...
A Rugby pop-up in a weak economy is like an American flag being raised on election day. Or..well, polos! You can afford one, kaaaaamawwwwn. This one's online only, grab your classics at Refinery 29 all month long.
Live coverage of Art Basel in Miami is another thing that just might stimulate some small part of the economy. Well, we can hope. Get your art fix with The Moment.
If discretion is the better part of valour then the fashion industry is valiantly staying away from its red state friends and their new crusading new Queen, this isn't because we are uninformed princesses without a care for reality despite what we have said this past week and Guy Trebay has now reiterated, no we really just have no comment. Well OK, we like her up do even if we don't condone highlights. We bet Hilary wishes she had been left alone like this too.
Fred Segal has a new pop-up shop called 15 Minutes. It will be run like an art gallery, where the shop’s structure is permanent but the theme, decor and wares on display change regularly
Want to see a picture of Martin Margiela? Eric Wilson has one of the last invisible man. Really, because designers have gotten to be such little publicity hounds (and not for the reasons they should be like say their work) this quiet relative anonymity is considered quite shocking.
If you are concerned with what is or is not wearable on the catwalks, which we think is rather relative to your own comforts, then we suppose its nice that someone is keeping score.
Do you read seating charts like tea leaves? Well Givenchy has much fodder for the divination set as the front row was packed with LVMH executives. What does it all mean!
Perfumer Sarah Horowitz's fragrance brand is going mainstream by repackaging her premiere line of scents in a more accessible form and launching it in Anthropologie. We had no idea that even the perfumers had to go for down market markets and collaborations. Not that we are saying Anthropologie is down market per say.
Colette, the French boutique that seems only a faraway mirage to New Yorkers without vacation time, is opening a pop-up at the beginning of Fall. For a month starting on September 5th, Colette will 'pop up' on 54th street much to the chagrin of it's new neighbor, The Gap. We're curious what will come of the temporary destination du jour, that is, it's not as if
Colette as an aesthetic concept, isn't at least somewhat represented by way of other boutiques in New York. At the very least New Yorkers have learned to find the brands elsewhere and so we're just slightly curious whether having it all in one place will really bring chicsters to its doors, especially when it's only open for a month. As New Yorkers know, after all, it's common to stay below fourteenth street (or above 34th, or on the other side of the bridge, etc.) in the span of four short weeks. New Yorkers are busy, and,
with the exception of Trader Joe's, we don't like lines. Call us skeptics but something about the location, its short opening, and the customer base, is keeping us curious of the results. Or perhaps it's just the significance that has us concerned.
