That's Chic Shoutout: Spring Trend Overdose

coutorture — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:33:11 -0700

Our network partner, That's Chic, gave Spring the ol' collage technique. Presenting the trends on a splurge versus steal basis, and driving the point home with fashionistas in the periphery, we think, is a nice way to present what's up-and-coming. Here's our contribution to her acute sense of style, a 5-garment spread of our take on the trends. Now, put on some Sly and The Family Stone and pay close attention to that leather skirt by Marni, Cheap Monday V-trench Coat, and Ksubi Super Skinny Zip Jeans in Uzi Blue Vein.

College Fashion Shoutout: Sheer Insanity

Sometimes a shoutout needs to be a call out. We love College Fashion so we feel a tad bad but we are totally nutters confused by their incorporation of sheer dressing into their spring dressing round ups. Now plenty of people can go for sheer and we admit its totally a trend but we think this might just be one for the college crowd to sit out no matter how good the College Fashion advice. Beer, late night pizza, and frazzled nerves do not lend themselves to the careful dressing required with sheer fabrics. And as much as College Fashion helps young women look more stylish while in their campus years we think this trend may be beyond the reach of anyone that still has to cope with midterms. Not that we are advocating the usage of sweat pants per say, we are just saying your time might be spent elsewhere like preparing resumes for instance so you can enjoy a nice career in which you can play dress up! But feel free to tell us to bugger off. Read Other Shoutouts Here

The Emerald Isles

The full blooms of Spring are right around the corner, so we couldn't help falling in love with Vincent Longo's Wet Diamond Eyeshadow in Verite. The Wet Diamond Eyeshadows are designed to range from a buildable sheer when applied dry to a dazzling rich hue when applied wet. Verite, a vibrant emerald, is the perfect choice for celebrating nature's return.

To use Wet Diamond Eyeshadow for maximum color payoff, simply dampen your eyeshadow brush and apply. If using another brand, be sure the shadow you're using is approved for wet use.

A/W 08: Pre-Fashion Week Studio Visit With Sue Stemp

Last week, we met with English designer Sue Stemp for a pre-fashion week interview and tour of her studio. This will be the sixth collection for Sue Stemp, who is known for her English boheme sensibilities and New York know-how. This season, Stemp draws inspiration from the famous restaurant, Maxim's, for its art nouveau interior and its social scene in the 1970's.
