Miami Herald’s Karl Lagerfeld interview
15 05 2008The Miami Herald’s Kathryn Wexler interviewed Karl Lagerfeld at the Raleigh Hotel where he will be debuting Chanel Cruise Collection later today. The best lines from the interview were:
- “Nothing can be brought back. But you can take an inspiration and make something different of today out of it.” ~ Karl Lagerfeld
- “My favorite line from Spinoza is: Every decision is refusal.” ~ Karl Lagerfeld
Lagerfeld was chosen as one of this year’s TIME 100 under the Builders and Titans category. Zaha Hadid wrote his feature and as many fashion followers are aware Chanel has an Mobile Art Museum designed by Hadid.

Super Fashion
12 05 2008Come on you remember your little brother wearing his cape (a blue towel) and running around the house and yes the first Halloween costume you chose for yourself was Wonder Woman, including gold truth-telling lasso and all. (yes, she has some lame accessories but still better than Barbie)
From an early age we are fascinated with superheroes’ costumes their personally well-crafted merging of function, fashion, and fit. And actually fashionistas and superheroes have some things in common such as:
- the power of transformation
- knowing that clothes can help make or unmake a person’s identity, secret or not
- fashion as armor
- their appreciation and understanding for the perfect outfit
- embracing the power of good accessories
- shooting fire our of their eyes ….. ok only fashion editors can do that but still
There also exists an evolution in superheroes costumes, especially heroines’ costumes.

Global Fashion Trend Report
30 04 2008PSFK reported on Vice Magazine’s 2008 Global Trend Report and provided readers with a brief comparison to last year’s report.
Vice Magazine’s annual report covers fashion trends in 15 upcoming cities among them:
Some differences you expect such as the contrast between NY and LA
NY: ” New York girls these days don’t want to look cutesy and innocent”
LA: ” For girls, the younger and cuter you can make yourself look, the better.”
Miami, didn’t make it into the report but we’ll try to work on a local trend report for you.

Miami goes Inside In Style
15 04 2008In Style magazine is bringing the Inside In Style event to the sands of South Beach on 11th and Ocean for the fourth year in a row. Last year over 2,000 of Miami’s chicest residents attended the two day event and this year’s event promises to be even better.
The event is held in collaboration with Miami’s Junior League chapter. For over 80 years the Junior League of Miami has led the way in giving back to the community in a variety of ways from fundraisers to community projects. In Style is donating 100% of the profits to the Junior League of Miami.
This year’s In Side In Style event will once again bring the glamour and style of In Style magazine to Miami with two full days of goodies, fun, and fashion.
Katrina Szish, InStyle’s national correspondent will be on site at the In Style cabana where she will be discussing getting ready for your summer style.
Katrina says now more than ever and especially in Miami the trend is bright colors, especially in accessories. And as far as how to wear this summer’s styles Katrina mentioned this summer is going to be more sophisticated and will have a natural feel think globally inspired, tribal patterns and safari chic.
Katrina mentioned that Miami has always welcomed bright colors and now everyone else is catching on. Local fashionistas should already be out on the hunt for those bright accessories paired with sophisticated neutrals.
For more style tips and to see the latest information on designers check out Katrina’s blog Style Spy.
And of course catch her this weekend at the InStyle Miami event with fashion shows, makeover, performances, spa treatments and so much more.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $25 on site.

Mind the Gap
18 02 2008It’s fashion week in Milan. And recently it was fashion week in London, fashion week in Madrid, and of course in NYC. Ok so you get the point it’s the usual fabulous fashion time of the year which happens twice a year in all it’s jet setting, celebrity first rows, one millions fashion shows, half of which no one knows……… glory
And many ladies are scanning the usual style.com and elle.com but perhaps one of the best sites to visit is Off the Runway with Robin Givhan. Robin Givhan, is the Pulitzer prize winning, fashion editor at the Washington Post. She recently blogged about the Gap’s Patrick Robinson so I went over to the Gap’s site and was pleasantly surprised to find new slightly different layouts and content. I like the color aspect especially the yellow converse and easter egg pastel khakis. Should be worth a quick stop at the closest Gap.

Don’t call it a comeback
2 02 2008

Earlier this week PSFK’s Orly Sharaby wrote about Levis new Laser Etched Jeans released in Japan. The advertisementsshow heavily tattooed models wearing tattooed jeans. BBH Tokyo created the campaign and is smart to focus on the popularity of tattoos (Miami Ink) and consumers’ growing desire for individual, personal touches.
Levis is definitely hip to the youth market. A good example is their collaboration with Bravo’s Project Runway. Their limited edition dress sold out in less than 24 hours and can now be found selling for more than twice the cost on eBay.
Riding the wave of popularity from their partnership with Project Runway. Levis developed the Project 501 Design Challenge. A design challenge in which anyone can submit designs online, the public votes online, and the winner’s design will be produced and sold online.
It’s great to see Levis, an iconic company doing such a great job of understanding the consumer, I just hope they bring those Laser Etched Jeans to Miami.
