The first time I saw one of these was on Lourdes Leon–I was putting together a Style File slideshow of her best looks, and I spotted this photo of Lola sporting one to a Kabbalah session. It’s that thin elastic headband stretched around her forehead. Then I started spotting it on hip girls all over […]

The collection for men and women will consist of jeans, tanks and t-shirts (click here to check out all the styles). Guess isn’t the only denim line […]

Hello Ladies! Friday was the kick-off of New York Fashion Week, and I began with a seat at the Perry Ellis Menswear show. There, I was treated to a top-notch showing of men’s attire.
