André Leon Talley Declares Death to High Heels
From New York Magazine:
After spring 2009, it seemed heels couldn’t get any taller. But then came the fall 2009 shows and with them, heels of twelve inches or higher. Well, André Leon Talley has had enough. He’s tired of watching his Vogue colleagues suffer for fashion in the torture chambers designers call shoes. He says only one Vogue staffer wears flats regularly: style director...

Are Irony and Maturity Mutually Exclusive?
From The New York Times:
First go the knees, then goes irony. Sometime around age 50, women start to let go of certain ideas about themselves and fashion. Up till then you can wear lots of silly or brash things, and if you are reasonably fit and attractive or consistently daring, it doesn’t really matter. You’re still with the tide.

Not only is she set for life with the Harry Potter series, but Emma Watson has been on a serious fashion roll: first as the face of Chanel, and more recently, as a Burberry model. As this month’s Teen Vogue covergirl in an Anglomania themed photoshoot, Watson has no doubt further cemented her It status.
The spread is beautifully, yet youthfully, high fashion. It’s a refreshing change...
