Rather than having the clear focus and boldface movements we used to see on the runways, the past few seasons have given us a deluge of eclectic "micro-trends"—from floral prints to ethnic detailing, from architectural tailoring to body-conscious silhouettes.

The fashion industry has always been driven by experimentation and creativity. Until recently, however, everyone who lived outside the major style hubs never saw it—their only exposure to fashion came from shopping malls and the pages of Glamour.  read more »

    Since living back in New York, I’ve spent the last two Christmas and New Years in the City. It was never an option to stay home during this period when I lived in Paris.
