Michael Kors Fall 08 Collection

Always classy. Always chic. Always Michael Kors.

Favorite Backstage Quotes:

“I can’t look at a person in a babydoll dress one more time, I think I’ll scream!”

“I think the most eco-fashion thing you can do in fashion, is to not by cheap clothes that you wear once. No insults to the H&M’s of the world but if you by a dress and you wear it once and toss it, that’s not exactly eco-fashion.”

“I’m craving sophisticated glamour.”

Tracy Reese Works Her Magic

Ranking as one of the fashion industry's most successful African-American women, Tracy Reese flaunted her latest fall collections at Fashion Week with figure-flattering strapless dresses with nipped waists, pleats with built-in crinoline and 1950’s dresses modernized with metallics and black and white floral printed fabrics.

According to the UK edition of Vogue, Tracy stated: "We're moved by the elements, our emotions, the weather. You know, if the sun's out I'm happy; if it's rainy I feel stormy inside. So it just seemed appropriate and was a nice emotional connection to the collection."

Colors included kelly greens, pastels and an assortment of beautiful lilacs.

Yay Tracy!

Old Navy Gets New

Rumor has it, Old Navy is making serious moves to launch a new line this summer that not only appeals to the 20 something crowd, but will be priced a bit cheaper than its competitors.

As it stands, the safari-inspired clothing (entitled Urban Explorer line) will include pull-over safari mini-dresses, and a black and white, African-inspired striped wrap.

And, in a push to move away from performance fleeces/preppy plaid tops, Old Navy is coming up with a brand new logo that will hopefully freshen up their new look.

So look out H&M, Todd Oldham is giving ya a run for your money!
