ProPublica — the nonprofit journalism organization where MrB is editor-in-chief — partnered with Selfless Tee to produce a t-shirt last month. The shirt featured a design by Ryan Grossman that said “Journalism With Moral Force.” Selfless Tee creates cause-inspired T-shirts that help support a range of non-profits, and ProPublica got $7 from every $22 t-shirt [...]

The best way to predict the next big fashion trend is to remember my catchphrase: “Never is the next new thing™.” The styles that are most hated at first — the ones that make people say, “Never!” — are the ones that are hottest once our eyes adjust. Since I figured this out, whenever I [...]

I like to watch music videos while I’m at the gym. Isn’t that quaint? MTV doesn’t play many music videos these days. I remember when it did. The first video the network aired when it debuted right after midnight on August 1, 1981, was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles. The Buggles need [...]

My “Never Is the Next New Thing™” fashion theory states that the most provocative/grating/startling looks — the ones that make you say, “I would NEVER wear that!” — are the ones most likely to become trends, big or small. I had my own “Never Is the Next New Thing™ fashion moment in July when, three [...]

Demure is back for fall and spring, declared Christina Binkley in “The Real Housewives,” the lead story in the Off Duty section of the weekend’s Wall Street Journal. “The most startling thing about women’s fashion right right now is how perfectly not-startling it is,” Binkley wrote. “June Cleaver would approve: skirts swish about the shins, [...]

A couple of years ago, I bought a 1980s Patrick Kelly dress on eBay. When it arrived, I was surprised that it was a knit. A big, formless knit. I brought the dress to Jean at Ghost Tailor for alterations, then stuck it in my closet until I felt I could cope with a disappointing [...]

This is a big week for my Never Is the Next New Thing™ fashion theory: I’ve posted on high/low hemlines (aka mullets), gold teeth, and now toe shoes. In 2008, I looked askance at “cameltoe” shoes by Martin Margiela. I thought that I’d never wear anything so ugly. Within a couple of weeks, I felt [...]

Be warned! If you tell me that you’re wearing a style that’s on my radar, I’m going to demand pictures, as I did with two gorgeous friends recently. Former blogger ENC read my Huffington Post piece on high/low hemlines, aka mullets, and volunteered that she had a mullet sweater. I was very excited to see [...]

Before stylists and goddess gowns took over, there were a lot of eye-popping fashions at the Oscars. One dress that regularly turns up on everyone’s all-time worst-dressed list is Geena Davis’s 1992 short-in-the-front, long-in-the-back “mullet” dress. After that, mullet dresses were stamped with a big “NEVER!” in my mind, and if you’ve been reading my [...]
