I’d like to call it the Downton Abbey effect: It seems like in every high-end boutique and fast-fashion mecca alike, there’s a ruffled silk blouse or flowy Gunne Sax copycat maxi dress in the window. Like when I stopped by Zimmerman’s new brick-and-mortar in Las … Read moreMODERN VICTORIAN

It’s hard to believe that after months of conference calls, meetings, research and planning, the Japanese fashion gala at Newfields is in the past. Like a wedding, it was glamorous and fun — and over in a flash, it seems. Thankfully, that’s what photos are … Read moreMatsuri: Japanese fashion festival
Another spring, another Midwest Fashion Week show. After eight years of sitting runway-side for (almost) every MWFW finale show since my college days, you’d think it would become routine.
