Remember when Italian Vogue labeled hoop earrings slave earrings? As if that wasn’t bad enough, now Dolce & Gabbana have taken it one step further by paying homage to offensive caricatures of black women in their Spring 2013 collection with questionable images that hark back to the colonial and minstrel show era : dark skinned woman with prominent bright red lips with a fruit basket on her head.

This post isn’t about the return of the white shirt (since it’s never really gone anywhere…). But after seeing the crisp white staple on the DKNY Spring 2013 runway, I’ve realized that I may have been ignoring this classic top as of late and favoring more eclectic choices.
DKNY has totally inspired me to reach for my white shirts again.

The pencil skirt has long earned a reputation as a mainstay in the working women’s 9 to 5 wardrobe. A far cry from the revealing mini and boho maxi, the safe pencil has been deemed the more conservative of the skirt silhouettes, but judging from the recent NYFW and LFW street-style shots (and even as far last year’s shows), the pencil is now – dare we say – very hip.

This season the signature outerwear has gone bright and seductive making for a glam riff on the original.

It’s nearly impossible for model, Lemlem sustainable-clothing designer and humanitarian, Liya Kebede to ever look bad. What with that stunning face and model frame, Ethiopian-born Kebede could rock a questionable Jersey Shore-esque velour sweat-suit and still look great. But the chances of catching her dressed liked Snookie are slim to none.
When it comes to style, the mother of two and three-time US Vogue cover girl favors an unfussy look to take her through her busy day.

The Spring 2013 runways were full of an array of attention-grabbing shoes. High-impact heels, haute gladiator straps, cone heels, ornate wedges and the perennial staple, the stiletto heel, all came stomping down the runways. Designers’ new-season take on shoes involved re-imagining them in new silhouettes and dressing them up in special details. For instance, straps were an accent I was very excited to see many designers turn to for spring.
