Last week Sophie Theallet’s collection for The Limited launched. The CFDA award-winning designer, whose work is often featured in Vogue, came to Chicago to promote the collection. She told me in her beautiful French accent that The Limited had approached her to design a collection for them earlier this year. She said was honored because “The Limited has so much respect for a woman’s body and the way a woman lives and moves in her clothing.” After meeting Isabel Toledo and hearing her speak about her design process at the Art Institute last month, Sophie’s perspective on fashion was similar in the sense that both women celebrate, rather than oppress or reshape, the female figure. It was an absolute pleasure meeting her and to see the designs in person.

I never realized how well black and gold look together. Here on Kirsten, the gold jewelry balances out the darkness of her all-black clothing, creating a striking sense of visual power. Now I have all sorts of ideas about how to rock my Alexander Wang maxidress this season…
Have I ever told you how much I love old school Chicago sports gear? Like vintage jerseys, caps, etc… damn do I have a soft spot for these shiny button-down jackets with a varsity feel like this one on Mike. They’re just too cool. I much prefer a simple embroidered design at the chest to the heavy all-over graphics on a lot of sports fan clothing.
Mike’s Blackhawks gear made me sad that we’re on the verge of losing an entire NHL season due to the lockout. Come on guys, pull it together! If nothing else, you’ve gotta play for your fans.
