The party raised nearly $4 million dollars.  Now that’s partying for a cause.
There is nobility in helping others, and the stars came out [...]

In The Spring…

Spring is almost here, and there should be a song in all of our hearts.  The winter months have been unkind, and should be treated as an uninvited guest who has out-stayed his welcome.
It is cold outside and the darkness of the winter months has done little to improve one’s mood.  The dark colors of the [...]

‘Tis The Season

Ladies, it’s that time of year again.  No, not tax season, it’s swimsuit season.  Okay the season is not quite here yet, but it is slowly approaching.  For some this is welcomed news.  For the rest of us it is as exciting as going to the dentist, but it does not have to be that [...]

Chopard For The Win

If there is a better combination than white diamonds and Oscar gold, these winners are not interested.  Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz sparkled onto victory in brilliant cut Chopard diamond gems at the 81st Annual Academy Awards.
The diamonds were well-behaved Sunday night; they glistened, shined and dazzled the paparazzi and viewers.  Winning is sexy, and [...]

The Supermodel Era

Was the supermodel a genetically engineered wonder or a manufactured creation right off the assembly line?  It does not matter where you fall on this issue, the consensus is that she was and is a stunning creature.
We knew all the supermodels by their first names and they were indeed super.  The models that arrived after [...]

The Shows Are Almost Over

Bryant Park will be less crowded and slightly less stylish after today.  The glitz and glamour is leaving, but now the hard work begins. 
New collections are being conceived, numerous pieces are being requested and orders are being placed.  Every time a cash register rings a sales manager gets his wings. 
There were plenty of dark colors [...]

The Belt: The Under-Rated Accessory

The belt has returned to the runway for fall 2009 and not a moment too soon.  That’s exciting news.  It may be the most under-rated accessory.  Everyone celebrates the ‘It Bag’ and must have shoes, and rightly so, but there is no such adoration for the belt. Why not?
The belt cinches the waist, creates a silhouette, [...]
