I’ve always liked the “runway to red carpet/editorial/music video” posts — with side-by-side comparisons of a dress on the runway and real life — that beauteous blogger Fashion Critic does at Red Carpet Fashion Awards. Last month’s “runway to red carpet” post on Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman jumped out at me.A Fashion Critic wrote: “Many…

Good Samaritan in a Subway Map Dress*
I like to help people out, so last weekend I threw on my Francis by Christian Francis Roth subway map dress and went to the subway station in order to help lost travelers. Eventually, a nice lady with a yen for peach sangria came by. She needed to go downtown. Luckily, I was there to…

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Jean from Ghost Tailor ch-ch-ch-changed the neckline of my favorite Francis graffiti dress. (Don’t worry! Christian approves.) Here’s the new look, paired with my Nuit ring in the ugly hallway. Here’s the old look in sunny Paris. Here’s David Bowie. Speaking of rock stars, I wore the updated dress (get yours at Bloomie’s!) to dinner…
Outfit Post: Vintage Ungaro Dress From Frock

There was a different color scheme though, so if even if you…

Leader of the Pack, Part II
Seeing gorgeous blogger Delmy looking sharp in a white blazer reminded me of last month’s post on white suits by Red Carpet Fashion Awards. And that post, in turn, reminded me of the white suit I posted here in 2007. I got that suit in 2003 and it’s still going strong. For my first Leader…
Come Out to Pla-a-ay!
The movie The Warriors was a major inspiration for my designing friend Christian Francis Roth’s “Gangs of New York†Spring ’09 collection. In the movie, all the New York City gangs declare a truce and meet to discuss forming a super-gang to take over the city. When the gang leader who called the summit is…
