Latest Fashion Scoop For You!

— Bad news for Anna Wintour again. She has topped Time magazine’s list of the biggest fashion faux pas of 2008. The Vogue editor wore a Sci-Fi silver dress to the Met Costume Gala that reportedly, “makes her look like she’s encrusted with ammonoid fossils.” Not good press for someone whose fashion job is in danger!
— New York’s February Fashion Week is getting smaller and smaller. The cost of these extravagant fashion shows combined with hard economic times makes it difficult for labels to justify the expense. The following have all bowed out of Fashion Week: Monique Llhuillier, Naeem Khan, Vera Wang, Betsey Johnson, Temperley London and Carmen Marc Valvo!
— Talk about thinking outside the box in our tight job market. A Texas woman, Julie Sarpy rented a billboard to advertise herself to potential future employers. Sarpy rented the billboard for three days, at a price of $1,200 which reads, “Savvy Chic Stylopolitan Fashion Guru for Employ. 972-533-0308. Stylopolitan@hotmail.com.”
— The winners of the, Ecco Domani Annual Fashion Foundation awards have been announced. The recipients are Lyn Devon, Matthew Ames, Cushnie et Ochs by Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs, and Ohne Titel by Alexa Adams and Flora Gill in the women’s design category. Corpus, by Jerrod Cornish and Keith Richardson, was honored for men’s design, and jeweler Monique Péan won for accessories. Each new designer received a $25,000 grant to help show at New York Fashion Week in February. Great support but what about the other $75k needed to show?
— Goody’s Family Clothing is going out of business, yet another victim of the economic downturn. The southeast chain, Goody’s had almost 300 stores and is a discount retailer. Their poor sales may predicts tough times ahead for similar regional chains, as retail giants like Wal-mart and Target drive them out of the market!

Too bad that Goody’s is going out of business. I liked them. Much more than that snobinista Anna Wintour.
