Madewell Fall 2011: Schoolboy Clothes For Grown-up Girls

Posted: 07 Apr 2011 07:00 AM PDT

For fall Madewell wants its young ladies to take a tip from roughhousing English schoolboys and wear suspenders with slouchy printed pants or well worn denim paired with checked work shirts layered (in that perfectly disheveled Madewell way), under chunky cardigans. But she’s not all tomboy. There are lust-worthy printed maxi skirts to be belted and worn with ankle boots with bright red laces. As always, there was a lot to lust after–from the soft slouchy striped sweatshirt tops to the camera bags to bold geometric jewelry to sturdy outerwear that included a blanket/poncho hybrid I wanted to crawl into right then and there. Unfortunately it didn’t seem appropriate in the meticulously assembled old-time-y school room office hybrid Madewell had assembled for their fall presentation.

Reiss Founder David Reiss on the Kate Middleton Effect, Plus Kate’s Latest Reiss Purchase

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 02:52 PM PDT

Reiss, the British-based contemporary clothing label, has been around for a while. In fact, the brand just celebrated their 40th anniversary last night over cocktails at the Crosby Street hotel. But many folks, especially Americans (Reiss only has outposts in NYC, LA, DC, Boston and Florida), only became aware of the brand when Kate Middleton wore a cream colored Reiss dress when she was photographed by Mario Testino for her official engagement portraits with Prince William. It wasn’t new–it was from her closet. Nevertheless, a frenzy for the frock followed and Reiss rereleased the fall/winter style for this current spring season in a lighter material.

“It was the most bizarre thing–I was flying to Moscow that day to open our new store there and as we land I turn my phone on and I was absolutely inundated–journalists, requests for TV–and I had no idea what it was all about,” founder David Reiss told us. “And then the whole thing snowballed from there. I was getting calls from Hong Kong, Germany, Spain, the US–pretty much all the key American programs wanted me to do TV–it was phenomenal. I knew the Americans loved royalty, but to that extent I didn’t realize.”

And as for what Kate has done for the brand?

Hassle-Free Hosiery Shopping at Hoseanna

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 02:11 PM PDT

Shopping for tights and hose has to be one of the least rewarding shopping trips ever. (Well, maybe tampon shopping is worse.) My own personal hell is trying to find black opaque DKNY tights every fall that always seem to be sold out everywhere in my size.

Two longtime friends and frequent business travelers–and presumably hosiery wearers–got together and started an online hosiery shopping service, Hoseanna. The site gives you several options for shopping.

Pat Field On Her Partnership With Kotex, and What a Tampon Would Look Like If She Designed It

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 12:36 PM PDT

Ladies, are you put off because your feminine hygiene products are too boring? Does your pad or tampon not reflect the kind of girl you really are? Well, as you might have heard by now, Kotex and Pat Field have teamed up to make your pads and tampons less clinical and more colorful.

Yesterday Kotex hosted an event with Pat Field to kick off the launch of their new campaign “Ban the Bland” which is all about inciting girls to take a stand against the “bland” institutional, boring, and plain white look of feminine care products. Field has partnered with Kotex to oversee a design competition which invites women to design their own pad on www.BantheBland.com. You can design one right now–the contest runs through June 29. Then three finalists, voted on by the masses, get the chance to meet with Field who will mentor them and help them hone their designs for a new U by Kotex pad that will make it to market in some incarnation (I say “some incarnation” because some design elements–glitter for example–are just impracticable or impossible to incorporate and have the product still function). Plus, the winner gets to attend a show at New York Fashion Week.

And while Field will only serve as a pad-design mentor and not design one herself, she has designed a set of tins to carry said pads in. But, the ever unfiltered Field added, the colorful tins are also good for carrying anything–she said she’d store her pills and cigarettes in them.

We sat down with the legendary Sex and the City costume designer to ask just how on earth this strangest of collaborations came about, and if she could design “femme care” (as we learned it’s called in the biz), what would it look like.

Of a Kind Debuts the Perfect Stripey Shirt By Thomas Sires

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 11:30 AM PDT

Of a Kind is truly a one-of-a-kind e-commerce site. Launched by two fashion insiders via Tumblr, each product is made in limited quantities for something extra special. Today marks the launch of Thomas Sires’ Evelyne Shirt. There are only 22 of the stripey French terry tops available, and each retails for $175. (It’s the perfect beach cover-up, but well-made enough to wear with a khaki skirt to work on Fridays.)

Suno Launches E-commerce With a Personal Touch

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 11:00 AM PDT

Everyone wants some Suno prints in their closet come summer, and now you can get them without having to leave the couch. Suno launched an e-commerce site yesterday where you can shop the brand’s spring and resort collections.

The site itself is meticulously designed to match the label’s print-tastic aesthetic. There’s no Adobe Flash here, as, according to a press release, “great strides were made to push the boundaries of a brave new Flash-less world.”

From tie-front skirts to Suno‘s floor-skimming maxi dresses, there’s enough merchandise on the site to do serious harm to any girl’s wallet, no matter how deep her pockets. Plus, Suno’s to-die-for wedges, born out of a collaboration with Loeffler Randall, are available on the site, and as of now they have every size (we can’t imagine they’ll last long though).

It’s hard to make online shopping a personal, thoughtful experience, but Suno’s making the effort.
