Over the past year, we’ve covered quite a few trends for you. Recapping a stylish year in pictures, one can’t help but hope the more timely trends will stick around and morph in the new year while a few flaky others fade away. Here’s our top 10 standout picks that we hope you dabbled with […]

Feral Childe, a bi-coastal collaboration of Oakland, CA, based designer Alice Wu and Brooklynite Moriah Carlson, has sped to the forefront of sustainable design labels, most notably for their refreshing prints and inventive styling details.

Before Pendleton met Opening Ceremony and made heritage as seemingly cool as it is, mid-70s moms with feathered hair – including bombshell Farrah Fawcett – were becoming inspired by Navajo prints and ethnic designs. Seems like a reasonable trend for winter, right? I mean, I love the idea of hipsters parading around city streets trying […]

The wonderful thing about pretty lingerie is that even though most people don’t see it, we know it’s there. Underneath our daily suits of armor there’s a softness that can’t help but make us feel sexy. Boss undermining us? Sexy. Car needs $1200 in repairs? Sexy. Ex boyfriend just walked into the coffee shop with […]

Depending on which camp you belong to, vegan or eco (and they are two completely different ones), your views on wearing animals will differ greatly. If you are vegan, they will not only differ, they will absolutely mean you never wear another piece of clothing or accessory made from an animal again. The eco establishment […]

Under the Roller Derby t-shirt, beside the over sized psychedelic pigs tee and just south of the creepy shirt with the drawing of a girl everyone thinks is a PCP enhanced, melting Michael Jackson – I see it, the one I want to mail to Hello Rewind. It’s the somewhat faded out (but still cool) […]

Victoria Klein is a green mover and shaker who knows just about all there is to know about going green – and in her new book 48 Things To Know About Sustainable Living, she proves that.

Every once in awhile, a piece of clothing grabs me in its attractive talons and whisks me away to want land. Capes are very on trend so at least I don’t feel like a freak regressing back to my mother’s fashion heyday. I was seven when they were in so I never got to fully, […]

Beware copying, bored designers of the cloth. This isn’t grade school anymore and a trip to the office will cost more than detention or a phone call to mom. That’s because according to Reuters, The Senate Judiciary Committee has just passed the Innovative Design Protection and Piracy Prohibition Act (IDPPPA) granting limited copyright protection to […]

Guess what? Jeans aren’t really green. The most sustainable pair you’ll slip on are the blue jeans that feel like cardboard boxes on your legs or the pair you find at the thrift shop; otherwise it’s a crapshoot as to how they get distressed like you want them to be. Sustainable? To a degree, depending […]

It’s easy to rush around department stores with our girlfriends, feasting our eyes on sale items while rarely consciously connecting with the items we’re buying. After all, we’re Americans and we just want the most we can get with our money, right? Conscious choices require conscious shoppers and new online shopping venue FashionStake intends to […]

Whether it’s the Maid Cafes in the nerds’ electronic hive of Akihabara, the Hysteric Glamour fashions around Harajuku, the leather jacketed Shibuya Gals, or the more couture looks coming from the likes of Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto,  Japanese fashion is pretty intense and diverse. By adopting a mixture of current and traditional trends, Japanese […]
