Kate Spade and Company said that it would be shutting its Kate Spade Saturday and Jack Spade stores as it seeks to focus on the long-term growth of its flagship Kate Spade New York brand. After just two years on the market, Kate Spade Saturday, the lower-priced, more casual offshoot of the main Kate Spade brand, is to close all of its 19 stores gradually over the first half of 2015, while the “key elements” of its success will be incorporated into the main Kate Spade line. In addition, t

The online store, found at phoebeenglish.com/

Sure, it's still freezing in most of the country, but let's talk about transitioning from the winter bundle-up to spring (yes, it's coming—we promise!). What better way to transition than with one of my favorite tops—the sweatshirt. The thick waistband and cuffs, matched with that stylistic triangle at the base of the neck? It’s the perfect amount of sporty for me. As much as I love the simplicity of a classic grey terry pullover, I’m currently more excited by the more interesting fabrics and

As a study in disconnect, Paris's haute couture fashion week -- which came to a close on Thursday -- is hard to beat. The outside world might be suffering economic austerity, or the fear of Islamist attacks, or simply a winter to chill the bones. But inside the warm, gilded bubble offered to the jet set designer crowd, a springtime fantasy was stage-managed to the smallest detail that banished anything resembling real-world woes. Women with perfect noses and similar-though-exclusive

Georgia May Jagger replaces Cara Delevingne as the face of Mulberry’s spring-summer 2015 advertisements.

H&M has crowned Chinese designer Ximon Lee the winner of it's 2015 Design Award, as the young designer becomes the first men's wear designer to win the award. Not only has the 24 year old Parsons graduate won a cash prize of 50,000 euros, but in addition he will also receive guidance from a H&M mentor and has been given the opportunity to further develop pieces from his winning collection to be sold in selected H&M stores. Lee was revealed as the winner after he presented his col

The maxi skirt. Though most often appreciated during the summer months, in bohemian prints and bright colors, it is equally as fitting for the cold weather. In fact, we would argue its full-coverage silhouette may be just the thing to remind you of sunnier days, while keeping your (now pasty-white) legs protected from the freezing winds of winter. For morning, noon, and night, we draw our maxi skirt styling inspiration from the lovely ladies below. For any time of day, tuck a thin ribbed

Military jackets, elongated blazers and high waisted trousers were just some of the looks at Lanvin's AW15 presentation. It was as utilitarian as it was rock & roll, like a Prince of Wales check versus tailored joggers. Layered knits over shirts were a 70s reference, as has been seen at several shows.
