I'm just not sure how I feel about the Pan Am/Marc Jacobs bags. One the one hand, the retro bags, a nod to the vintage blue classic bags from the 50s and 60s, are sort of cute. On the other hand, the fact that they have Pan Am on one side and Jacobs signature on the other just makes them a bit flashy, and not in a good way. I might buy ...

Aygness used to be Laura Hollins, a teenage girl with a job at the local chip shop in Stubbins, Lancashire England. The article also includes some pictures of little Laura growing up and tells how she got her distinct name which ...

For years I've enjoyed the shoe-centered bloggy stylings of Manolo the Shoeblogger. Now his inspiration, the one-and-only Manolo Blahnik has launched his own website and promises to update it with his thoughts and information on the latest designs. The site also includes a bio of the designer, a news section and a listing of boutiques. If Manolo blogs with half as much wit and flair the web will be a ...

As I mentioned last year, the formerly austere brand is looking to pep up their look. The last campaign featured ...

The Wall Street Journal has an interesting piece on the rise, and perhaps fall, of limited edition sneakers. Even those of us who might not be fans of limited edition kicks have been aware of the frenzy (if only by watching Turtle's quest for rare sneakers on Entourage).
But the days of frenzy may be on the wane due to oversaturation of the market. Vans, for example, is releasing 70 kinds of limited-edition ...
