Secrets to Buying—and Styling—the Best Distressed Leather Jacket

ON AN OCTOBER AFTERNOON during Paris fashion week, model Gigi Hadid was spotted in a beat-up leather jacket. Did she pull it from the mother lode of vintage clothes in her famous-model mom’s closet? Mais non! The pre-distressed bomber (above) came from reliable chain store Mango and can be yours for $600, according to the brand’s website.“It’s funny. When that happened, people said the leather moto jacket is ‘back,’” mused Elaine Mellis, a San Francisco art advisor and a fan of well-worn hide. Indeed, the jackets never went anywhere—they’ve just re-entered the spotlight thanks to brands such as Saint Laurent and Prada, which showed faded versions on their fall and spring runways, respectively. “People love to make them look ‘vintage.’ But good ones are vintage,” argued Mellis. “Some of mi...

How Young Is Too Young for a Crop Top?

For mini Swifties and Alabama sorority girls-to-be, the Dallas boutique Dear Hannah Prep is a pink-and-green, balloon-filled wonderland. The store, a little sister to adult shop Dear Hannah down the street, is chock-full of everything a tween girl might want to wear for home games, slumber parties, screenings of the “Barbie” movie, or a school dance. Arranged in rainbow-colored stacks are: gear emblazoned with “St. Tropez,” “Montauk” and “Slay,” stackable bracelets, tie-dye sweats, mini shorts. And crop tops. Lots and lots of crop tops. For many tweens—and their parents—crop tops are a cute, innocent way to express their burgeoning interest in fashion, and their body positivity. For others, they are inappropriate. Many schools have explicitly cracked down on them in recent years. Despite,...

‘It Hurt My Feelings’: Whoopi Goldberg Talks Backlash To 1993 Oscars Outfit

Whoopi Goldberg is still baffled by the colossal backlash to her choice of dress in 1993.The EGOT winner famously arrived at the Oscars red carpet that year in a purple and lime green jumpsuit with a bolero-style jacket and an open-front skirt. Goldberg was universally panned by publications at the time and plastered on “worst dressed” lists.The “View” host recalled as much at Tuesday’s Fashion Group International Night of Style.“It hurt my feelings, I’m not going to lie,” she told Page Six at the gala. “It hurt my feelings. It kept me from dressing up for a very long time. You have to remember, in those days, they would say things and you’d think, ‘Do I really look that ridiculous?’”Goldberg was already a huge star at that point.The actor was nominated in 1985 for Best Actress for her ro...

‘Ann Lowe: American Couturier’ Review: Anonymously Dressing the Daughters of High Society

Winterthur, Del.In 1964, the Saturday Evening Post called the couturier Ann Lowe “society’s best-kept secret.” At that point she’d been dressing women of the Social Register for decades—first designing their white debutante gowns, then their white wedding gowns, then their seasonal ballgowns, then their daughters’ debutante gowns, and so on. Just as the Grace Church wedding was de rigueur for the gilded marriages of New York’s 400, the Ann Lowe wedding dress was a midcentury must. How much of a secret was she? Lowe created the most loved wedding dress in American history: the simple in silhouette yet intricately detailed gown that Jacqueline Bouvier wore, in 1953, when she married the young Sen. John F. Kennedy. In all the press describing that day in Newport, R.I., and for years afterwar...

Retail cos expected to witness muted growth in Q3 after weak demand in Q2

Retail companies are expected to experience muted top-line growth in the quarter, as demand continued to remain soft during the July-September period. Additionally, the delay in the festival season this year compared to the previous year has shifted demand into the third quarter. “The moderation in raw material pricing should alleviate pressure on gross margins. However, decreased same-store sales growth could negatively impact store productivity and lead to operating deleverage,” said Motilal Oswal in its preview report on the sector. Nevertheless, jewellery and watchmaker Titan Company is expected to buck the trend, thanks to robust sales growth driven by studded activations, according to brokerage reports. It also said that the overall revenue growth of 18.8...

The long and short of skirts

The long and short of skirts - CBS News Watch CBS News While skirts have hemmed women into traditional notions of femininity, a skirt's length, style and fabric – dangling from the waist with few restrictions – can also connote freedom, wealth and agency. Correspondent Faith Salie talks with fashion designer Christian Siriano, and with Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell, author of "Skirts: Fashioning Modern Femininity in the Twentieth Century," to discuss what skirts tell us about our culture – and how women think of themselves.
