Oct 30, 2012  |   Contributor: Nicolle Keogh

The latest from reality TV’s most popular sister trio is anything but fabulous according to the co-owner of a luxury beauty store called Chroma Makeup.

Fashion Mogul at Center of Legal Battle

Oct 25, 2012  |   Contributor: Nicolle Keogh

Tory Burch is a name that has become a pillar in the world of luxury fashion, but even though the designer is experiencing a great deal of success now, she had to start somewhere. That "somewhere" was with the help of her ex-husband, Chris Burch, who helped her raise $10 million through investors after initially co-investing their own $2 million to get the label launched. Six years later, the Burches are divorced and Tory's label is estimated to be worth upward of $2 billion— it's also at the center of a lawsuit filed by Chris Burch.... Read More

She Does WHAT to Her Louboutins?!

Oct 24, 2012  |   Contributor: Nicolle Keogh

Last season saw budget-savvy women getting creative to get the kind luxury fashion look that only Christian Louboutins can achieve. While several ladies painted the soles of their stilettos red, one well-known celebrity did just the opposite. Martha Stewart alters her designer shoes by painting the soles black, and she’s not discreet about her personal fashion taste. While we’re glad that Stewart at least asked Louboutin’s permission before committing the ultimate fashion sacrilege, we can’t really find anything classy about the way she walked the red carpet openly expressing her distaste of the designer’s trademark to reporters....

As if we don’t see him everywhere already, Justin Bieber’s face will now be plastered to billboards everywhere— with a big-name luxury fashion brand attached to it.

Oct 10, 2012  |   Contributor: Nicolle Keogh

Arguably some of the most intriguing aspects of luxury fashion house Chanel is the history behind the brand, which those of us born in the post-CoCo era did not get to experience first-hand.
