Rodarte Fall '08

Rodarte's Fall 2008/09 show was definitely fantastic, and leads us to believe that they are one of the best American labels around today. From the towering spiked shoes to the spider-web knits and major soundtrack, the statement was loud and clear, but worth the shout indeed.

YSL Fall 2008: Our Favorite Collection

Stefano Pillati once again had us craving as much YSL as we can possibly get our hands on with this super-chic, refined collection set to a fantastic song by LCD Soundsystem.

V love the austerity and starkness paired with a keen focus on dramatic tailoring and admire the absence of trend & reference, and of femininity & romance. This is a collection full of uniform essentials for a woman who likes to quietly prove how good of a dresser she really is.

Our Picks from the Fall/Winter 2008 Shows

From top: YSL, LOUISE GOLDEN, PRADA, GIVENCHY & MIU MIU.

We wanted to take a moment and point out our favorite shows for Fall 2008 so you can get an idea of what key looks we'll be hunting for on our up-coming buys. And it looks safe to say it's all about the age/reference-less urban warrior, albeit this time suited in lace and satins.
