The name smacks of a Tanquery Gin Ad and something about Alice Temperley throws you into the sense of aristocratic elegance…and its not just the London that accents her legendary line’s name. Temperley’s Fall ’08 collection carries just the right combination of voluptuousness, or what Glamwire Junior Reporter Zac Time eagerly refers to as “sluttiness,” […]

Anna Sui Fall ’08
This collection marked for Anna Sui a progression. Last fall saw a lot of faux fur eskimo jackets and gloves…and this fall Sui went Psychadelic Eskimo–Native American–Pan Asian to push her own glorious style to the limit. To me this was the collection that was truest to Anna Sui herself, rooted in color, hippie splendour, […]

There is a young very basic hippy vibe to some of it, and the long white evening wear was […]
