Jason Wu's Guerrilla Ad Campaign

If you happen to see some photos of seriously refined, flawlessly groomed women in ladylike ’50s-style dresses thrown up on buildings and street signs around Manhattan, don’t be alarmed — it’s just Jason Wu’s latest ad campaign. The designer will forgo the traditional direction in favor of going guerrilla with his spring 2012 collection. Photographed by Willy Vanderperre, “wild postings” of ads like the one shown above are set to occur in our fair city. I love the idea of an artsier, more spontaneous take on marketing, and it’s a foolproof way to grab everyone’s attention. It reminds me of Alexander Wang’s similar guerrilla campaign back in July — I suppose great minds, and great designers, think alike. [Racked NY]

What’s Your Seasonal Wardrobe Change Routine?

Julie GersteinMarch 14, 2011 //

As it begins to slowly inch from winter to spring, we’ve begun to reexamine our wardrobes, pulling out some of the light coats and spring dresses that have been shoved in the back for so long. The savviest fashionistas among us have a dedicated plan for switching from winter to spring. One thing I like to do — I do an end-of-season boot/shoe examination. Any shoes with busted soles or worn-down heels get taken to the cobbler ASAP. That’s because there’s nothing worse than waiting until the first cold day of fall to realize all of your boots have busted heels.

So tell us: how do you make the transition? What are your seasonal switch tips? Keep reading »

Let’s Talk Spring Fever!

Wendy AtterberryMarch 19, 2010 //

For those of us on the Northern Hemisphere, tomorrow marks the first day of spring, and I don’t know about you guys, but it’s pretty much all I can think about right now. Here in NYC, we’ve been blessed with spring-like temps most of the week and the forecast for the weekend shows more of the same. All I want to do is hit the park, pass out on the grass and soak up as much of the sweet, sweet sun as I possibly can. And then I want to have a cook-out! And maybe fly a kite! And go to a flea market, and dine al fresco, and walk around town without a jacket or anything covering my legs! Surely I can’t be the only one with a wicked case of spring fever, so let’s hear it. What are you most excited about doing now that old man winter has finally quit pestering us? Keep reading »

After a traumatizing, rain-soaked weekend, today the sun is shining and we’re feeling like maybe warmer days could really be on the way after all. Since nothing says spring like a baby lamb, please take a few seconds to watch Hide and Seek lovin’ “Bea,” who’s as playful as a puppy. ARGH. [Have You Seen This?!] Keep reading »

Black Is Back For Spring (Not That It Went Anywhere, Really)

Nina CarboneSeptember 16, 2009 //

We all just dodged a fashion bullet—black is the new black for spring 2010. Deep breath. OK, yeah, you would have worn black whether it was anointed “in” or not. But if you think about it, this declaration is really going to save us all a bundle of cash. Picture any fashionable chick—she wants to look even a little bit with it; so what does she do? She buys a few pieces that are in the color everyone is talking about. But not this year, oh no, she doesn’t have to buy a thing (well, ideally, anyway!) because she’s most likely got 40 percent of her closet devoted to black pants, dresses, tops, you name it. Rejoice! However, not that we’re pushing you into the stores, if you are looking to drop some dough on a black something, here’s what to look for. Keep reading »

Crave: Shiny V-Back Sweater Dress

Annika HarrisMarch 9, 2009 //

The first real day of spring — not the official start of spring, but the first day you notice the leaves are green, the birds are singing, and you feel warmth on your skin — will arrive in no time, so it’s time to get your wardrobe ready. This sweater dress oozes sex appeal and sophistication, but it’s also a perfect transition piece, since it’s made of a lightweight fabric. We think it’ll look best with a belt, heels, and simple jewelry. [$140, BananaRepublic.com] Keep reading »

Fashion Slideshow: Spring & Summer Dresses

Amelia McDonell-ParryMay 2, 2008 //

Catherine and I wear dresses about four out of five work days, and not because we’re trying to dress up, be fancy pants, and impress anyone. We just like them. A lot. After the jump, some summer dresses we really like. Now if only our office building would turn the damned air-conditioning down. We’re freezing.
