Undrcrwn Spring Lookbook Vol. 2
Lookin’ good there, chap.
ABC Bans Plus-Sized Lingerie Commercial
It looks like we’ve been getting our fair share of body image controversy. Plus-size women’s designer Lane Bryant is claiming that ABC is refusing to play their lingerie commercial for plus sized women. You can’t photoshop those loblollies. But Lane Bryant has a point. If you’re going to let women wear triangle bikini tops that barely cover their areolas in their commercials, then you should let plus sized women have theirs too. As the saying goes, “Big women need lovin’ too.” And that’s the last time I’m going to quote an avid Tyler Perry audience member.

Boy. Named Sue
WORDS BY J. CLAIBORNE BOWDON
Band of Outsiders, one of those brands that’s so on point and now that it’s ubiquitous in the style clique, but completely unknown in the mainstream, has managed to deploy no less than three seasons (that I can confirm) of a women’s wear line that goes by the name of Boy., and yeah it’s a tricky punctuation proposition, but it’s worth the risk. The way they’ve gone about designing the line makes it seem like such a logical extension of themselves that it almost betrays its brash achievement. The feet of Boy. may be wearing high heels, but those feet are firmly rooted in Classic American sports clothing and menswear.
Women have been making menswear their own since before Marlene Dietrich put everyone else that ever donned a top hat and tails to shame, so why not have a menswear line make the menswear for them? A few tweaks in the tailoring and a shift of proportion in the length and the job’s done. Boy. almost looks as effortless as that. In fact, Boy. looks like your girlfriend raided your closet and took some of your best stuff to a very gifted tailor, and there’s very little in the world more endearing and alluring than the sight, or recognition (some girls can be downright occult in their appropriation,) of your clothes on an attractive woman.
People Pay You That Much to Sit Down?
WORDS BY PETITE ANGLAISE
For those connected enough to attend New York Fashion week, be well advised. Front row is now the new red carpet with many celebrities, socialites, and wannabees skipping the cameras of the front entrance to sit calmly and most importantly to be seen, front row. At my first New York Fashion Week 2 years ago, I was honored to even sit down, let alone sit about 4 rows behind Nicole Richie. But alas, some of the more infamous (or famous) personalities feel well…”obligated” to make an appearance, for a cost, of course.
Here is an interesting look at prices and names that may be seen Feb 11-18.
Fast backward in time
