How Workwear Jackets Became a Symbol of the Petite Bourgeoisie
Before I start a shift at my retail job, I have to put on a company-issued navy-blue “shacket.” Like the portmanteau suggests, my uniform is a combination of a “shirt” and a “jacket.” But despite the linguistic front, it isn’t a new garment; it’s a rebranded version of the French workman jacket (the same sheath […]

See the entire Fall fashion 2014 trend report »
From the food aisles to a galaxy far, far away, Fall 2014’s fashion narrative is just as varied as the many women who’ll likely fall for its manifold charms.
Call it the Lorde effect (or blame it fashion’s ever-growing obsession with Game of Thrones), but designers across all four major fashion cities seemed to fall under the dark spell of moody heroines. At Dolce & Gabbana, dresses were made to scrape that forest floor. At Valentino, capes shrouded the wicked and at Rodarte and Preen, Star Wars prints were made for the modern day Princess Leia.

There were fur muffs at Tory Burch, crystal-incrusted snoods at Alexander McQueen and knee-highs á la Vivian Ward at Versace and sneakers once again staking their claim at Chanel.
If there ever were a time to pick your poison, it would be now.
