Absolut Friends

I went out with my Swedish friend last night, who happens to be a rep for Absolut Vodka... which means it's always an insane time. The last time I was out with her, I slept in and was two hours late to work. She's so much fun.

We got to talking about the differences in dating culture between Swedes and Americans. In Sweden, you go home with someone and then decide if you should see each other again. If you go out again, it's assumed you're exclusive. There's never really a discussion about it. There's no dating-multiple-people thing; although I do have some girlfriends that are the same way: one person at a time. I said to my friend, "But then how do you know what type of person he is? Isn't that just setting yourself up to get really hurt?" She looked at me, and laughed. I knew about her last breakup with a high profile club promoter friend of mine (the way she & I became friends). "YES! Of course!"
To each their own.

It's Showtime

Michael Kors celebrated his 30th Anniversary with some of his updated classics in an elegant palette for all women! He actually may convince me to wear real fur with his cropped fox jackets.

I will let you check out the collection on style.com or watch the entire show on michaelkors.com. Here are some behind the scenes shots for your enjoyment ;-)






Backstage was not even funny......

I felt like a salmon trying to swim upstream while celebs and photogs were the water rushing down at me. The floor was an organized chaos, which my quick Blackberry shots show well.

Herve Leger

Herve Leger is our most well known, high profile brand. We were featured in Mercedes Benz fashion week, images above














Runway images above show that we're evolving as a brand, adding in knitwear, seperates, and lots of hardware. It's definitely a more defined girl. When watching the show, though, I couldn't help but be distracted by the incredibly thin models. For a brand like Herve, which is for the confident girl with a banging body and killer curves, it felt wrong to have the flat chested, thin hipped models trying to strutt in our stuff. Lubov is partial to the tall Russian or Swedish blondes, and I think it works beautifully for Max Azria, and well enough for BCBG MAX AZRIA, but for Herve, we need someone like Lara Stone, and some dark haired black or Puerto Rican girls... someone who can rock it.




Celebs love Herve Leger. For an analysis on who's doing it well and who looks overdone, check out StyleBakery

The Row

And of course, I love the gothic glamour. Though it's been done before, I've never seen it with this kind of weight, tailoring, and complexity. Brava, Olsons.

Beauty & the Beast

Four of my favorite furriers this season: The Row, Prabal Gurung, Dennis Brasso and Chado Ralph Rucci.

The Row especially is redefining the way we use fur. They created incredible volume and mood, with a decidedly disheveled edge- a fully realized version of the nascent vision we saw Mary Kate displaying at NYU all those years ago.
