>> INSIDER WIRE — Do Kate Moss and Karl Lagerfeld have something behind-the-scenes going on?  Kate only hit up the Chanel show, the Chanel party, and the Fendi party out of all the Fashion Week events while in town — and she even went shopping yesterday at Fendi.  Maybe it's just one big coincidence, but it is the beginning of campaign season — Tao Okamoto already landed Akris Fall 2009 — is Kate sitting for one of Karl's Fall 2009 campaigns?  Or did they just work out an appearance contract?

Keep The Light, Cut The Sweet

Suzy Menkes, ever the astute fashion observer, notes that as a new generation of fashion consumers ages out of girlish styles they looking for clothes that keep the lightness but cut the sweetness. Thankfully there are many lines to grow into as designers as diverse as Akris, Anne Valerie Hash, Issey Miyake, and yes even Chloé help us ease into our older years with light feminine clothing that is refreshingly free of cloying adolescence.

Akris Resort And Record-Breaking Trunk Show

Last week the Akris trunk show at Bergdorf produced over one million dollars in sales.
by coutorture

Last week the Akris trunk show at Bergdorf produced over one million dollars in sales. On the first of three days it broke the record for the highest sales by one designer in the same day. Apparently the recession isn't stopping Akris fans from snatching up Fall 08 in multiples. And aint' that just the beauty of a trunk show. While a constant point of debate in the fashion industry is that knock-offs are available six months before the originals are shipped, along comes a one million dollar turnaround of the real, live thing. No, this doesn't override the fact that the H&M's of the world will be selling one hundred times that much, in styles that are similar, before the next collections are shipped. But it helps, no? As for Resort, Akris kept with it's signature architectural shapes in pale, palatable colors. Akris, a decades old Swiss company with a loyal following of refined fashionistas, is making waves and sellin' tons of clothes at Bergdorf, in spite of our Target for Barneys for Target consumer culture.

Ever felt the need to wear post-its, but in an elegant fashion? Akris is your designer. Tier after tier of sheer rectangular fabric melts from gray into a pool of yellow at the hem. The dress is pretty, abstract, and very unique...but it begs the question: is it wearable?

To post your selections go to the Love It or Hate It? group. And if you want to learn how to do a blog post click here.

Fab favorite SJP has been making promotional rounds for her latest perfume, Covet. Here, at Macy's in NYC, the actress looks sophisticated and a bit funky in her strapless Akris dress and strappy sandals. Though the overall mood of the look is rather Fall, she brightens it up with some layered bolt bracelets. Do we expect any less from the gal who embodied Carrie Bradshaw? I didn't think so!

How to Wear Winter White

Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day?
by

Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day? This lusciously stark color is actually just right for frigid temperatures, since it's so evocative of snow and Winter solitude. To wear Winter white, just be sure to choose textures—like leather, wool, and bouclé—that are undoubtedly wintery, rather than something like eyelet or linen that looks better suited to springtime. Also, don't be afraid to pair your whites with darker, high-contrast duds. Here are some of my picks for great white pieces you can wear this Winter.

Oscar de la Renta Bouclé Dress, $2,350, available here.

Steve Madden Musicall in White, $94.98, available here.

Akris Double-Faced Jacket and Skirt, $3,500 and $1,590, available here.
