This Fall, We Are Dressing With More Personality
This Fall fashion prediction is anything but boring. We are skipping the safe, predictable looks and reaching for pieces that feel bold, personal, and a little unexpected. Trust us, you don’t need a whole new wardrobe. A few good pieces can completely refresh what you already own. Maximalism is on repeat, think rich purple, burgundy, and gold tones along with jacquard and baroque-inspired prints.

Why Fashion Designers Are Buying Back Their Own Vintage Pieces

Fashion Expert Dawn Del Russo explains that archives allow designers to study original tailoring, stitching, fabrics, hardware, and finishin


Influencers, Retailers & the Right to Say “No”: Is the Creator Economy Growing Up?

It is really about something much more complicated: who gets to shape the modern retail experience and who gets to set the rules? On ON NJ Mornings on Wednesday, July 29, I shared my perspective on the conversation everyone seems to be watching: the growing tension between traditional retailers and the creators. And as so

Are Designer Shoes Getting Too Weird? The Wild Footwear Trend Taking Over Fashion
After seeing the Saint Laurent Men's runway show this week, I have one question: Are shoes becoming fashion's biggest attention seekers? Because if you've been scrolling through fashion week photos lately, you've probably noticed that shoes are looking less like something you'd actually wear and more like something you'd find in an art gallery. Saint Laurent recently sent men's transparent PVC shoes down the runway, creating the illusion that models were walking barefoot. The


Is Getting Dressed Up Becoming a Lost Art?
Somewhere between working from home, living in leggings, and wearing sneakers with literally everything, we quietly stopped getting dressed up. I recently talked about this on ON NJ Mornings, inspired by a thought-provoking New York Times piece by fashion critic Vanessa Friedman asking a simple but surprisingly complicated question: What does dressing up mean today? There was a time when getting ready felt like part of the experience. Dinner reservations meant pulling out you

The Future of Fashion Is Here And Honestly, It's Kind of Wild

From handbags made with mushrooms to dresses that literally come to life, fashion is entering an era that feels straight out of the future. One of the biggest shifts happening behind the scenes is the rise of next-generation sustainable materials. Designers are looking far beyond recycled fabrics and crea
