There’s no doubt Gwen Stefani has a thing for Jamaica. With a son named Kingston, another son whose middle name, Nesta, is the same as Bob Marley’s, and frequent trips to the tropical isle, she clearly uses Caribbean culture as a muse. She set L.A.M.B’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection to a dancehall beat, but this time Continue Reading
Frenetic energy filled the Gramercy Room of the Peninsula Hotel as editors and buyers waited for wunderkind LaQuan Smith’s Spring/Summer 2011 show, entitled “A Storybook Path,” to begin.

Still traditional pretty Tracy, but more refined–grown Continue Reading
“I don’t want to sit next to you, it’s bad for my image!” snapped Kimora to Russell Simmons, realizing she’d been placed next to her former flame for Zac Posen’s Z Spoke Spring 2011 show.
