Suzy Menkes wrote an interesting article about this "Computerphobia" that characterizes many fashion designers. In many ways it's surprising, but at the same time it's also understandable. I have a friend who just told me that she received her new...

I almost didn't talk about Oscar fashion since just about everyone and their mama (literally) is blogging about it. My thoughts would simply just lost in the sea of noise out there...Who was the worst dressed? Best dressed? All I...
