Fashion Week Takes Trends from Vintage Fashion

The Comeback of Vintage


The schedule for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, which began yesterday and runs through Feb. 16, is jampacked with runway shows, parties, and events. But given Catherine Malandrino’s recent Flea visit (not to mention Maggie Gyllenhaal, Padma Lakshmi, Ethan Hawke, and Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend making the rounds), don’t be surprised if a few fashionistas steal away this weekend to see what’s showing at Skylight One Hanson. And those who do will probably like what they see since many of the vintage looks offered at the Flea last weekend looked remarkably similar to those shown on the Spring 2012 Fashion Week runways last fall.

Kirsten Dunst on Vintage Shopping

Kirsten Dunst on VintageIn a recent interview for Lucky Magazine, Kirsten Dunst said “If I am going to invest in a piece, I want it to last.  My motto is shop $10 vintage and save for that special piece you’ll have forever”.  Now isn’t that refreshing; a girl who can afford to buy anything she wants, and who is known for her great sense of style, still prefers to shop affordable vintage.  Now if we could just get her to shop at Back In Style…

Fashion Tips: Finding the Right Coat

Street Style: Proof That A Cute Coat Matters

By Shani Silver, Photo by Amy

Who she is: Dani
Where we spotted her: In Lincoln Park.
Why we love her: Dani is demonstrating the importance of finding (and buying!) a coat you love this winter. Her coat isn’t covering up her style, it’s joining the team. She’ll never feel like she’s pulled together a gorgeous outfit, only to bury it under some oversized, sleeping-bag like monster. This neutral-toned wonder will ensure she makes a great first impression all winter.

Fall in love with winter coats!!

Color blocking…..love it or hate it?

Color blocking…..love it or hate it?

from Tog + Porter by Whitney

Tog + Porter stylist, Tracie, gives you a guide to one of spring’s boldest trends, color blocking!

First of all, some of you might be wondering what color blocking is? Color blocking is the idea of wearing solid colored garments together or wearing one garment that has large blocks of solid colors. This is one of the biggest trends for Spring 2011. However, it is probably one that people are most fearful to wear because we tend to shy away from mixing too many colors for fear that they will clash.
