Once I had nothing to wear to a white party so I made one white T-shirt into an off-the shoulder top, and another into a skirt by cutting off the sleeves and sewing up the armholes. It was fine, for one night, in a pinch. Alas, wearing long-sleeved shirts as skirts? Terribly unflattering, but a real thing, apparently. More »

"I haven't seen anyone come out sobbing, but some were definitely devastated." So says Jennifer Althouse, the buyer at American Rag, a store in L.A. which has just installed an "ass cam." A dressing room camera offering a rear view. More »

Supré is a family-owned and operated clothing company founded in 1984, with stores in Australia and New Zealand. Similar to what Americans can find at Forever 21 (though perhaps not quite as inexpensive), Supré shoppers are offered tees, knitwear, jackets, cardigans, party dresses, accessories… and, now, jeggings. The campaign to promote said jeggings involves a young, topless model -- photographed with her hair covering her breasts -- and the tagline "get jegged." Uh-oh. More »

If you read tabloids or ladymags, pay attention to advertising campaigns, or happen to live on planet Earth, you know that the one thing women are supposed to strive for — more than a functioning body, a healthy body, or a strong body — is a bikini body. More »

The news that O.G. socialite-turned-HSN costume jewelry designer Iris Apfel's creations are less than original should — to anyone who pays attention to the celebrity clothing line industrial complex — be less than surprising. The story here is that Apfel, whose taste in jewelry is deservedly famous, was approached to do a line for HSN. Apfel apparently did what most celebrity "designers" do: she turned over some of her own favorite pieces to be knocked off. And when it comes celebrity designers, this is far from the first time that's happened.

The news that Patrick Robinson was fired last week from the Gap was not that shocking. The Gap has had a few cute moments since Patrick arrived on the scene, but consistency was lacking. You don't need me to ramble on and on about what did not work during his reign, but I am happy to suggest a few key bits that should be taken under serious consideration if they really want to revitalize the brand. First things first let us identify the key times that we "fall into the Gap" with full intention, because Lord knows, when you are just browsing, the Gap is not the first stop. More »

To be fair, the Mary Jane boots by Prada also come in blue suede and python. Guess brown-skinned women who love this quirky trompe l'oeil look will have to buy those! Because the "flesh"-colored ones definitely don't represent the fleshtones of black people. Not a big deal, really, but definitely interesting. Since the brand is notorious for not casting any black models. Not just one season. For years and years. More than a decade, actually. Not one black model on their runways for more than ten years.

Trying on clothes recently, I found that the sizes of the garments varied. Widely. One shirt was a Large; another an XL, another an XXL. Pants ranged from 14 to 16 to 18 to 20. An informal poll of coworkers revealed that we all have a minimum of three different sizes in our wardrobes. What the hell? More »
