Since we’re on a fashion kick…
Since we’re on a fashion kick right now, how about sharing some of your favorites from the fashion world?
Who are your favorite designers/brands?
Where do you like to shop for them?
Do you prefer to shop online or in the store?
Where do you find the best deals?
What are you predictions for upcoming fall trends?
Have any underground sites that you’re willing to share?

hey danny,
love the fashion kick.
fave designers- phillip lim, alexander wang, jane mayle- but she’s giving up the fashion game
boo!, ghesquiere, alber elbaz
sample sales all the way. i <3 nyc.
gilt’s great but yes very annoying as they sell out in 5 mins.
savvynyc.com is a great ny based sample sale company. they’re starting this new thing where they have a simultaneous in store and online sample sale.

*fashion kick kicks ass*
my fave designers/brands
Comme des Garçons, Maison Martin Margiela, Viktor & Rolf, Final Home, Alexander McQueen, Undercover, Raf Simons, Number (N)ine, Ann Demeulemeester, Bless, John Varvatos, Vivian Westwood shoes, Vanessa Bruno, Cholé, A.P.C
I usually can’t offer to buy designer’s brand. I sometimes go in to stores to do research and just “look and touch”.
I do love to shop tho. Shopping is fun. ( For whoever are interested, I am available at your demand if you need a personal shopper/style consulting. Drop me a line! )
Shop on line? sure! but when it comes to shoes. I gotta try a pair on in a real store.
Best deals- hmm. Vintage shops, Salvation Army stores, Thief stores are always good.

For girls- Forget about the skinny jeans already! Skirts! Pencil Skirts, A-line Skirts, mini skirts. Accessories are the key to go with your outfit. Scarfs, hats, statement jewelry. (but not everything all at once!!) Remix the past with the present. Wear what you most comfortable with, feel fabulous and look hot
For boys - no more shorts please! Try a pair of classic slim/straight leg cut pants. Cardigans, trench coats, pea coats, fitted sports jacket.
