Grey Ant and Teva Collaborate

Grey Ant has paired up with outdoor footwear brand Teva to create what they're calling the most comfortable performance high heel on the planet. Basically, it's Teva's Hurricane sport "mandal" redone on a four-inch stacked stiletto. There are two styles, $330 each: the "Worlds Unite" in black and white with Velcro closure, and the "Natural" in tan with a buckle. It's an interesting collaboration, Read more

Grey Antics Fall 2010

Grey Ant's diffusion line Grey Antics has finished its Fall '10 look book and we took a peruse to bring you the best shots.

One highlight is the movement in the models' poses — it's always nice to see the clothes in action. Urban Outfitters Read more

Trend Alert: Far from Lame Lamé

Let's face it: Lamé got a bad rap. The world experienced too much of a good thing in the excessive '80s. I think we've finally recovered from the overdose. Here we are, far from lame lamé. Mad Men's January Jones shows us how to have fun in lamé in her one shoulder belted frock. She slices the sheen up with a black banded belt but dares to wear metallic sandals to keep the fluidity. Does she Read more

Backstage Beauty: Grey Ant

Last night's Grey Ant show definitely pulled out all of the over-the-top, you-can't-wear-this-every-day stops. The hair was either a controlled mess of super-tight curls or and a punky updo that make Flock of Seagulls look staid in comparison. While the hair looked back a few decades, the makeup looked toward the future. Designed by MAC makeup artist Tiffany Johnston, the idea was plastic skin. Read more

Trend Alert: High-Waisted Jeans

The 70s are back! What with wide legged jeans in full force and now high-waisted jeans, it is clear the skinny and low rise have competition. I am elated - you all know by now I have a thing for the carefree styles of the dazed & confused decade. While the high waist was around long before the 70s, try the 50s, it was given sex appeal in the decade of disco. I prefer this look worn with a Read more
