Many of the forecasts for Spring 2013 color claimed Orange to be the “IT” color of the season. This Pantone hue, Tangerine, has since gotten much competition from Lemon Zest as well, and I prefer to think of this duet as one idea….Citrus.

Spring’s other Citrus that is literally popping up on the fashion scene as we speak is a color that has always said Easter to me. That color is Yellow, known this season by its Pantone ID of Lemon Zest. The runways were full of this bold hue, which I personally love primarily as a pop […]

Seeing Barbara Tfank’s Fall 2013 Collection was, as always, a beautiful experience. She can always be counted on to show her dresses in a lovely off-site setting, away from the madness of Lincoln Center, this time it was at Chelsea Leila Heller Gallery.

No one does sexy, body hugging apparel better than Donna Karan, and when she showed her newest collection in New York Fashion Week she definitely returned to what she does best. She first, admittedly, stepped back to the concept that she began her business on in the 80’s……what she has always referred to as seven […]

Could it really be happening that Donna Karan’s DKNY is turning 25 next year? I didn’t make it to this show during NY Fashion Week as I was not out of Houston yet, thank you Nemo! However, I was there, back when in the late ’80’s, at Foley’s when the first deliveries hit the floor […]

Finally, a report on NY Fashion Week from The Chic Sheet……I really was there, granted less time than usual, but did get to see some great shows in my 3 days. Mother Nature put a wrench in my travel plans and into my Internet usage once I arrived. However, one of my favorite shows that […]
