As we’re now onto Milan fashion week - it gets just a little harder to keep up with the same enthusiasm that comes with the first showings in New York. While Style.com is the bible - that means there’s a lot of info to take in and it isn’t always a quick recap unless you want to be biased from the reviews. So - I definitely recommend the NY Times for catching up with Milan, because the chances of me catching the cute props (coffee) used at Fall 09 DSquared would have been slim until at least a month from now.

Happy to see a feature in the January Harper’s about jumpsuits, I knew it! See post “You Jump, I Jump: Who Knew, Jumpsuits.“  I almost interned at Harper’s right after Teen Vogue - I interviewed and was good to go until FIT wouldn’t give me credit (credit crunch, those mags don’t pay) - so it would be slavery, but I sooo wanted it. Definitely a lot of red tape at SUNY.  Regardless, I feel a bit better now as there’s a typo in the January issue’s linguistics regarding jumpsuits - Sportmax is one word, not two!

Luckily for the other alma mater of sorts, Vogue’s Style.com has an easy search engine that leads you directly to a compilation of all Spring 09 jumpsuit looks from a bevy of different designers (click here to view).  I would have never been lead in the direction of London designer Danielle Scutt without it (far right), so - Vogue 1 Harper’s 0.
