The Donna Karan wisdom continues. After listening to her and Ken Downing at the Neiman Marcus event in San Francisco, I have a newfound interest in draping and defining luxury. Donna also mentioned Michelle Obama ("Michelle Obama is an icon") and emphasized the importance of jewelry when she spoke of her years collaborating with Robert Lee Morris: "Jewelry is important. Accessories are extremely Read more
Stella McCartney and now Donna Karan — looks like San Francisco is emerging as a fashion center. When I think of Donna Karan, here's what comes to mind: draping, bodysuits, DKNY, womanly, classic, zen. When I met Donna Karan at a recent event at Neiman Marcus in SF, all those thoughts flooded me. But it wasn't overwhelming because Donna calmed me down with a (zen) fashion mantra: "Fashion is Read more

The Campbell comeuppance isn't the only twist: there's also an awkward kiss that takes place within the Read more

Rudd and Aniston play New York-based couple George and Linda, who are forced to relocate to Atlanta when George loses his job. When the pair stumbles across a Read more
Thor hits theaters this Friday, and one of my most memorable moments from last year's Comic-Con was when I had a chance to sit down with the cast to talk about the blockbuster comic book adaptation. Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings talked about what it was like to work with each other, along with Chris Hemsworth and director Kenneth Branagh. Then, Hemsworth talked about taking on — and bulking Read more
