• Discount Store Is New York Beachhead for Nordstrom
  FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY – After more than a century, Nordstrom, the upscale department store chain from Seattle, will make its Manhattan debut on Tuesday. But don’t expect $4,000 dresses. Expect 25,000 pairs of discounted shoes, and an automated checkout line more at home in a supermarket than a purveyor of luxury goods. While retailers of [...]
• Off-Kilter and British (Is That Redundant?)
  FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY – THEY buried Malcolm McLaren in a suit, a new one. At least, that’s what he’d asked for. Mr. McLaren, who died last month at 64, spearheaded punk music and style in London in the 1970s by cutting the Sex Pistols, jaggedly, more or less from whole cloth and by [...]
• Welcome to the Club
  THE live 35-foot birch trees were shipped in from Aspen. The couture dresses were brought by couriers from Italy and France. The English movie people flew commercial from London. The American stars hitched rides on private aircraft with friends from Los Angeles. Somehow or other, heeding advice from the evening’s hostess to be prompt at [...]
• Prospecting in Manhattan’s Richest Vintage Veins
  FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY – IT happened only once, but once was enough to fan a flame of desire that has burned ever since. As I ambled past a pile of crumpled clothes at a used clothing sale — a crushed blouse, a wrinkled pashmina, faded “mom jeans” configured in that terrifying ’80s silhouette that [...]
• My Mannequin, Myself: What Talking Heads Say
  FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY – IN 1936, a glamour girl named Cynthia became a minor toast of the town. She went around with a guy named Lester, who took her to all the showoff places — the opera, El Morocco — and the next year she made the cover of Life. Cynthia would get fan [...]
• The Fountain of Reinvention
  FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY – I’D never been to a boomer conference and figured it was time to try one. So, recently I joined 250 mainly boomer-age business people who had paid $195 each for a day’s worth of speeches, seminars and networking opportunities here at the second annual Florida Boomer Lifestyle [...]
• Appreciating Your Value as You Age
  FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY – AGING is an indiscriminate leveler. You might have been a shapely bombshell who made heads turn. You might have honed your intellect and résumé and let looks take a backseat. Still, most of us will pass a mirror one day and wonder who is that stranger with the droopy eyelids. It would be [...]
• I Need to Vent. Hello, Facebook.
  FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY – WHAT is the sound of an awkward silence on Facebook? If you have to ask, then you probably don’t have friends like James Gower and Ashley Andrews, high school sweethearts from Spring, Tex., who are both 22 and engaged to be married this May. Mr. Gower, a master of the passive-aggressive status update, [...]
• Don’t Blame the Iceberg for the Lack of Warmth
  FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY – The berg was not, as it appeared, a solid block of ice. It was many, a total of 240 tons of “snice,” or snow-ice, purportedly hacked from a glacier in Sweden, hauled to France in 15 tractor-trailers and installed in a specially built waterproof box at the Grand Palais. There 35 artisans spent [...]
• A Shift Away From Linear Thinking
  FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY – Many fashion designers, you may have noticed, are squeamish about breasts. They prefer boyish waif bodies or a tolerable B-cup — largely on the grounds that the clothes hang better. With obvious exceptions like the body-conscious designs of Azzedine Alaïa, their clothes almost seek to neutralize the female form. Meanwhile, the demand for [...]
