Russian Fashion

Olga Barsky — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:29:41 -0700

Written by a Russian Quick - hide your liquor and pickles, Russians are invading the world, of fashion that is. Designers from Donna Karan to Lanvin have embraced early-twentieth-Century Russia for this fall. You can play any part – a top secret spy with shapelessly sexy jacket and military inspired boots, lady of leisure draped in luxurious furs and Cossack hat, or even a babushka sporting a geriatric-chic head scarf. So what do you say SDTC, are you ready to embrace the Russian style revolution?

Rompers

by LQ Confession: I just bought a pair of Romper Culottes (from brilliant Canadian designer dace). I effin LOVE them - to me they are comfy and stylish and sexy. BUT...each time I put them on, a little voice in the back of mind asks if I have fallen into the trend pit of comfort disguised as trend which is in reality misguided fug. Did you follow me? Anyway, let me know She Does the City - what do you think of one piece shorts?

Acid Washed High Waisted Jean Shorts

Statement Shoe

by Olga Barsky There’s a new trend sweeping the nation – the statement shoe – and it’s a pricey one. In this post-SATC world of ours, long gone are the days of simple black go-with-EVERYTHING heels and non-descript flip flops. Every outfit requires a killer pair of shoes. Shoes which must stand out enough to be noticed, and then retired until they are forgotten (just in time for the economic crisis).

Absurd Sunglasses

Walking through Kensington Market, these weirdo shades caught my eye. Although I smirked I do have to question the sanity of hipsters who have taken to sacrilegiously wearing Kippa’s as a fashion forward statement, or sunglasses that shine the light in lines .Yes, I like funky and do not shy away from bright lights and nonsensical fun, but really now – where’s the pleasure in burnt eyelids? Or am I just a prude who likes to cover up and hide under my giant locust eye shields to avoid contact with the common people?

Pleated Shorts

LQ — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:18:27 -0700

by LQ I'm not old, but I'm not 21 anymore. Every once in a while, there's a trend that reminds me of my age. The pleated pant/short is one such trend. They look great on Rihanna and Nicole Richie, but when I tried them on, I had a horrid flashback to my Girl Guide counselor's summer uniform. Totally unflattering and totally out of touch. Does the pleasted short trend make you long for the days of tight-ass short shorts?

Bright Over Dyed Jeans

LQ — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:11:25 -0700

by LQ I grew up with Kriss Kross and TLC. My teenage style was bodysuits and big gold earrings. My best friend's fashion trademark (aside from small strands of hair gelled to her cheeks) was wearing a complete outfit in a single colour. Bright over dyed denims were a staple. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I am LOVING this bright jean trend - it makes me feel hot like Rosie Perez dancing her ass off in the opening of Do The Right Thing. Get your vote on, She Does the City - are bright over dyed jeans hot or not?

ANTI-STYLE

Olga Barsky — Mon, 9 Jun 2008 13:35:11 -0700

As of late, we’ve had our eye on Samantha Ronson, the rumoured lady friend of Lindsey Lohan, celebrity DJ, and Young Hollywood equivalent of THE L WORD’S Shane. Rad sneakers – check. Cool tee – check. Fedora – fo sure! And of course, big ass headphones around the neck are a must. Her style is effortless, edgy, and very authentic, which makes her the object of our bi-weekly girl crush. So tell us ladies who do the city, are you digging Sam’s Boy Meets Boy chic, or should this look be reserved for those with a dick?

Big Ass Accessories

by LQ Unless you have been living under an estrogen devoid rock, you may know that your legal secretaries, your publicist and even your mother are all going to this Sex and the City Movie. It's 2004 all over again - especially with Big Ass fashion trends (remember the massive flower broaches we all wore 5 years ago?) SJP kicked off the premieres in London with a Big Ass hat, the trailer is ram packed with Big Ass Fabric Prints and all I hear about from the film is how Amazing the Big Ass Belts are. Tell me She Does the City, what Big Ass Accessory do you rock?
