Clogs And Khaki At Banana Republic

As the man who made Brooks Brothers cool again several years ago, Simon Kneen knows a thing or two about freshening up classic American brands. In his role as creative director for Banana Republic, he’s aiming to bridge the company’s original incarnation as a travel-themed retailer (remember when its stores used to feature Jeeps and tropical foliage alongside screen-printed tees?) with its current mix of sophisticated, well-priced sportswear.

Megan Fox gets top dollar in Armani endorsement (AP)

LOS ANGELES – Confirming that endorsement deals still have cachet in a recession, "Transformers" star Megan Fox is pulling down a seven-figure payday to model Armani underwear and jeans.

The 23-year-old will be the new face of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans in 2010, the Milan-based fashion house announced Wednesday.

Living In The Stone Age

Jewelry, jewelry, jewelry. Giles and Sophia did it for Spring. So did Alber. In fact, he went positively over-the-top with it. All of my anecdotal evidence (culled from serious chats with retailers) indicates that jewelry is an increasingly hot commodity. (And why shouldn’t it be? A great necklace easily has a much higher CPW, that’s Cost Per Wear, than a blouse or dress.) It also seems as if there’s more jewelry-related news than ever. Tonight at Henri Bendel, vintage

It seems to be a very good year for that sector of the population that aims to dress well but doesn’t care to spend even what we in the fashion world deem to be lower prices. A couple of weeks ago, the first round of Jil Sander’s new line +J bowed at Uniqlo—a collection with a not-obvious fashion component.

Few countries take their autumn harvests as seriously as Italy.

Sagre sometimes last all weekend and often culminate on Sunday with a celebratory feast. I recently visited
