I was skimming over some spring dresses, and stumbled upon this interesting piece by Alexander McQueen. This draped silk dress is just a little weird to me. I understand that designers are always looking for new ways to express themselves, and create exciting sillouhettes, but this is just not flattering. It looks like her backside is literally frowning at me in this picture- maybe it wants out of this dress! But perhaps there is something I don’t see here, this dress is going for $2,280.00 at Bergdorf Goodman.
The news was broken today that Isaac Mizrahi will be leaving Target to become the creative director for Liz Claiborne. This new line will be revealed in Spring 2009, and will be a much anticipated collection. I’ll miss browsing the racks at Target, and seeing the Isaac Mizrahi label on the surprising, and stylish garments, but will look foward to seeing the new line. The customer base is different, but I have a feeling that Mizrahi’s flare will show through and be recognizable to the loyal Target shoppers (like myself). Read more about Mizrahi’s Major Move.
