Bishop Sleeves at Catherine Malandrino, Carolina Herrera, and Verrier.


Style tip?  We love the 3/4 bishop sleeve as seen at Verrier–much easier to wear than the full-length traditional bishop sleeve.  Wear with long gloves for maximum drama.

What do you think?  Would you wear bishop sleeves?  And if so, with what?  Share your thoughts in the comments!

The Color Grey at Yigal Azrouel, Preen, and Philip Lim.


Style tip?  Grey dominated Fall 2007, and it’s back for Fall 2008.  Pair grey with bright jewel tones for the most vivacious look.  Or, if you want to play it safe, wear it with black or white.  Bonus points for wearing gunmetal grey.

Style tip?  For the most sophisticated look, keep the ombre shading in the same color family.  But for a more playful look, mix colors (a la Baby Phat).

Style tip?  Balance the skinny pant silhouette with a more voluminous top for a classic big-over-small look.  And wear the tallest shoes you can bear to visually elongate your legs.
