Current Neiman Marcus Homepage

If you weren’t convinced that the concept, function and future of Fashion Week was metamorphosing, Neiman Marcus is removing the barriers of access and location by allowing at customers to view and then immediately purchase looks as they go down the runway. So much for that theoretical buyer/fashion editor-driven trend cycle yes?

Starting today, Neiman Marcus will showcase daily videos from 11 AM CST to 8:00 PM CST. Show looks available for sale will be shown on the site in each designer’s boutique. During the airing of the runway show, the looks available for sale will be available for viewing at the same time. Additionally, Fashion Director Ken Downing will call out highlights of each day’s line-up and Roopal Patel, Senior Market Editor, Fashion Accessories, will also be calling out shoes and handbags that were seen on the runways or were inspired by what was seen on the runway.

What do you think about Neiman Marcus’ approach? Will you be watching? What are the implications for the industry as a whole when runway looks are so closely and quickly tied to sales? This is a first for A large retailer to experiment with Shopping via the internet and why not? I think this is a fantastic way to view designers, and brands. As a society we live in a fast-paced world with little or no time. This is an added convenience for the consumer, and another way to view what is hot right off the runway.

Celebrity best dressed list 2010

There are plenty of celebrities that made the "best dressed" list for 2010. And still more that made the worst. Let's start with the best: always polished and never out of style is the fabulous Halle berry.
  For years she has been at the top of her game. Academy award winner, style icon,  and mother. She is like a classic mosaic of femininity.  She makes women half her age look well.. not as good as she.

And then there is Jennifer Lopez. Aka JLO She is to put it mildly Huge. in every sense of the word. Is there anything about this woman that isn't well big?  No pun intended. I have to give her her props. A true pioneer in the name of branding. Or should I say Celebrity fashion Imaging? She was the first celebrity to make waves putting her image with the JLO brand. She is a true star. she always looks fabulous, even though she hasn't been as much in the spotlight. As in earlier years.
 I think it wise that Kim Kardashian follow in her footsteps after all when it comes to putting her best "assets' forth. She is definitely has all the right moves. And the business sense to boot. who knew?

 Let's not forget Jennifer Aniston She always gets it right. I just love extremely cute american actresses that take on the Angelia Joli's of the world and make it look effortless.

Up and comers are blake lively, newly engaged Natalie Portman and Kristen Stewart.

The worst were Cher you would think after so many years in tinseltown she would know! Wrong
Mariah Carey still one "hot mess"didn't anyone ever tell her there is more to fashion then just black?
Brittany Spears I'm happy she made a comeback but her clothes sure didn't.
Lindsay Lohan With all that is going on with her at the moment it's no wonder,  She clearly has lost it I mean literally. Someone should tell her that making millions in movies is way better then being hung over all the time.
