80’s

Quick summer styling note: The 80s twisted head scarf is back, thank you Fendi!

Head scarves from the Fendi Resort 2014 collection
I don't know about you, well I do when I look back at those retro photos, but many a day/night in the 80's was spent wearing a twisted head scarf. Or pretty schmatta, if you will. Well, the cute little scarf continues to make a runway comeback. This time, thank you Silvia Venturini Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld for including the heady styling in the Fendi resort 2014 collection, pictured above.  It's an easy look to try. My favorite twist is: Hold the ends together and twist the scarf around Shorter scarves can be tied off to the side or behind the nape of your neck Longer scarves are best when twisted at the forehead for a take on a turban and

Stylist Advice- How to wear an unstructured maxi skirt

How should I wear this Pins and Needles Chiffon Maxi Skirt from Urban Outfitters? I love it, but I don't know what top would go well with it...? -- A.L. via fashion advice Well, first off, I have to admit that chiffon, or any unstructured, maxi skirt is pretty darn tricky to pull off without looking like you're wearing a sack. There's an 80's unstructured retro vibe, which is only fresh if you have not lived through the 80's and seen photos of yourself and friends in droopy, saggy clothes. Or, just look at all the girls on the street today trasping around in what looks like a milkmaid's nightgown rather than a maxi dress. A maxi can be a

The iconic New Wave wardrobe of Aimee Mann is a vintage fashion score

80's New Wave cool is decidedly timeless in its avante-garde fashion way I'll try not to count how many times that I got dressed to go out to a club with MTV playing in the background. 1985 YOHJI YAMAMOTO Asym Sarong Skirt w Suspender Str But I will tell you that one of my favorite 80's groups was 'Til Tuesday. What I really loved was how real and downtown the the lead singer Aimee Mann looked in in the videos in comparison to some other pop stars at the time who looked like they were styled and ready to go to spring break in Daytona.

Fashion’s Night Out from Giorgio Armani to Brad Boles

The fabulousness never ends… Dear Diary: Fashion’s Night Out started out as a must-see stop for me at the Giorgio Armani boutique to hear a special reading by Rosie O’Donnell from “Love, Loss, and What I Wore,” a new play by Nora Ephron and Della Ephron, based on the book by Ilene Beckerman. The evening instead turned into my own version of loving, loss, and what I wore! I have to admit that unless it’s embedded in my brain from some cosmic cryptoid, there is a very good chance that I will end up at the wrong address on the wrong date. Starting my evening out with all good intentions downtown, I found myself weighing through the gang of girls

So 80s…

A bright look at the creatures who ruled the night I paid for this book! Never paid to get into a club. If I paid for a drink it was to make a point. Knew who had the drink tickets. Knew who had the party favors. If only it was just to know. Oh, it as was so 80s. Should money be spent for a NYC 80s party, it best go into the pockets of Patrick McMullan. Right next to the tiny camera that he chronicled every party worth partying in a decade where the party was it. From outlaw parties to ones where real royalty held court-- not just the drag queens, Patrick and his itsy-bitsy camera were there.
