Feb 12, 2016  |   Contributor: Marissa Stempien

The hot topic of the season has been the idea of restructuring the classic Fashion Week model, and today Wes Gordon joined the ranks of designers forgoing the traditional runway.

Marissa Webb’s Everyday Runway Packs a Punch

Feb 12, 2016  |   Contributor: Marissa Stempien

At previous stages in her career, Marissa Webb has designed for J Crew and Banana Republic, so she has a talent for understanding what the everyday woman is looking for in a wardrobe. This was visible in her Fall 2016 collection, a line of simplistic separates that were created for practicality rather than flair. This isn’t to say the collection lacked appeal. On the contrary, most of the collection felt beautiful and stylish, but the streamlined, floor-length coats, windowpane plaid suits and chunky knit turtlenecks were intended for a more sophisticated palette.

Feb 2, 2016  |   Contributor: Marissa Stempien

Jan 29, 2016  |   Contributor: Marissa Stempien

Jean Paul Gaultier is good at putting on a show.
