(Please note mini-Olivier Theyskens, at left.) This is 10 times better than that Simpsons fashion spread, which was itself pretty freaking inspired, and may force us to reevaluate our position on the whole magazine, which is a lot to handle right now.

So I finally got myself to a Kohl's in Virginia...

Moe — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 10:45:54 EDT

So I finally got myself to a Kohl's in Virginia over the weekend and my assessment of "Simply Vera" is, um, they were mostly out of my size, and I really loathe those women who are always whining that all the sizes carried in stores anymore are too big (seriously, women who do this: stop) but like, seriously; a lot of things seemed to be only available in sizes larger than 16 and it made me wonder whether Kohl's shouldn't have adjusted its size run of the collection. Because not for nothing did Simply Vera get so much press; a few pieces were really nice. This blouse — now on sale for $42.99 — was perfect and this coat thing looks really good on, not that it probably ever occurred to you that you would need a short-sleeved coat but whatevs. The fabrics were really nice and the craftsmanship seemed superb, though the netting adorning some of the tops was a little tacky and some of the bottoms seemed to have a hem problem. Kohl's itself was empty, Yankee candle-scented, and already selling faux pink and white Christmas trees. Ah, retail. [Simply Vera] More »

And girlfriend says get thee to Kohl's ASAP to snatch the shit up because it's really good and OMGoutinstoresalreadysoifyouwaittilltheactualrelasedateyou'llbeSCREWED. Of course.

Simply Vera Leaves Us Simply, Um, Excited? About Fashion?

Moe — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 15:30:19 EDT

This we'll say for wedding dresses: they're predictable, monochromatic garments you buy more on the basis of quality and craftsmanship than fads and brand names — all traits we look for on the rare occasion we buy clothes. Maybe that's why we keep marveling every time we catch a glimpse of one of the hundreds of September magazine pages devoted to Vera Wang's cheapo collection for Kohl's. Or maybe it's because her philosophy, as she told O Magazine, can be summed up thusly: "Let's not kid around —dark colors always take off ten pounds." Or maybe it's because we have never seen, like, texture in one of these big-designer-for-crap-discount-chain lines. Anyway, we have never been to Kohl's, but we totally checked out its store locator today — and that's a step for us! After the jump, some pretty pictures from the O spread. More »
