GENEVA — A high percentage of U.S. consumers are expected to convert to eco-friendly products across many industries, including 59 percent in apparel and 74 percent in health and beauty, according to a report by consultancy group Grail Research.

However, the report, called “The Green Revolution,” concludes [...]

Something I’ve been noticing on many style blogs and shopping sites (not so much around campus or on actual people in general) is the emergence of new and unique shapes in pants and trousers.

Talk about fashion influence! Among their stylish accomplishments, Levi Strauss & Co. created the first pair of women’s jeans 75 years ago.

Back in the fall of 1934, the all-American company took a gamble by producing the first jeans made exclusively for women called “Lady Levi’s jeans.” The line was originally made for “Western women” on [...]

We all know the big names : Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Prada, Galliano…the list
goes on and on.  However, during my constant surfing of some recent fashion shows I came across a designer I was not familiar with: Collette Dinnigan.  After browsing some of her shows, I fell in love with her style and the detail she [...]

Many of the looks coming off the runway for Spring
2010 RTW see a play on proportion and especially volume on either the top or bottom half. A trend I saw (and LOVE) is voluminous, high-waisted shorts. Great for showing off those long legs and emphasizing a small waist, I can definitely see these [...]

Recently, one of my friends told me about a website service called ShoeDazzle.  It is a completely new concept where you’re essentially a part of a monthly shoe club and can receive a brand new pair of shoes each month for $39 (shipping included).  You fill out a short survey about your fashion preferences, and [...]
