THE DOOM

It's that time of summer… You know, when we’ve all forgotten about this past winter’s bone-chilling temperatures and start complaining about the heat. If you’ve hit the point where you’re excited to pile into a crowded subway car just to feel the AC, you’re officially allowed a lil' guilt-free bitching. By no means should this be confused with January nostalgia, but with new fall styles tempting us every day, a little leather weather would be nice. 

DO “IT COLORS” REALLY EXIST?

The fashion world is always looking for the next “it color.”

KENZO PRE-FALL 2017

Ever since Kenzo Takada opened the first Kenzo Paris location back in 1970, the global brand’s follower has always been an individual who speaks her own language and marches to the beat of her own drum. For Pre-Fall 2015, Carol and Humberto embraced this rebellious and close-knit community with a nostalgic collection inspired by tribal culture from around the world.

DON’T SWEAT IT...

When it comes to fashion, August is a strange month. Why? Because no one actually wants summer to end, but everyone is ready for a wardrobe change.

DISPATCH: KENZO SPRING/SUMMER 2016

BUNDLE UP, BUTTERCUP

They say it’s what’s underneath that counts, but with this season’s range of outerwear, we say it’s what’s on the outside that really matters. With a wardrobe staple worn as consistently as your winter coat, investing in one that you truly love is perhaps the smartest move a gal can make.
