Joining past designers Behnaz Sarafpour, Proenza Schouler, and most recently Libertine, Erin Fetherston has been announced by Target as the next designer for their Go International collection. Fetherston is known for her girly dresses and cute accents like ruffles and bows, and she brings these trademarks to her Target collection. The clothing is very ‘little Parisian girl’ with Peter Pan collars, ruffle accents, and an oversize heart handbag. The American-born, Parsons Paris-educated designer’s collection won’t debut until November (Alice Temperley’s Target line comes first), so for now we’ll just have to ooh and aah over the pictures from the Target pressroom.

Designer Fashions, How to Wear
By Andrea Thatcher on July 31st, 2007

It’s not officially fall, yet, so keep those strappy heels handy—you still have time to get some good wear out of this gorgeous Shoshanna silk shift dress. A welcome light fabric and breezy, non-clingy design for those last remaining hot summer days, shift dresses can also be worn into fall by adding a cardigan, a funky pair of tights, and knee-high boots, which would look incredibly hot with this dress. The black & white print is perfect for summer and fall, and I just love the gathered button neckline. Plus, it’s comfy and easy for any woman to wear. It’s a chic look that can be worn to the office, a nice dinner, and struttin’ your stuff at the club. Shift dresses in all styles and patterns were spotted across the fall fashion scene, featured in runway collections by Prada, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, and other top designers. Get in on the trend—find this beau for $319.

She’s certainly got the legs for it! California beauty Carolyn Murphy is set to star in the first print campaign for denim favorites 7 For All Mankind. The ads were shot at LA’s Roosevelt Hotel by Patrick Demarchelier, and costar Tyson Ballou. A company rep says the fall-winter collection is infused with sophistication and all-American glamour. The campaign will also be our first look at 7 For All Mankind shoes and accessories, which Carolyn is surely already enjoying, lucky!

This truly is the year of the dress! And oh-how-excited I am that the trend is continuing into fall. One of my favorites is this taffeta trench dress from OC by Oleg. Accented with puff sleeves, exaggerated split-lapel collar, and belt, this irridescent beauty is just asking to be the center of a picturesque scene in the park with a gentle breeze ruffling your hair and brightly speckled leaves swirling around you. Ok, so maybe I’m fantasizing about cooler days while cooped up in my new, un-airconditioned NYC apartment… But the dress is great for both work and dinner & drinks. Wear it with killer brown or even black power pumps to complete the look. The color is so rich and shimmering, that it’s perfectly fine to pair brown with black shoes (just this once). If you, too, crave this fab trench dress, it’s available for only $128.

Check out the new fall fashions from MARC by Marc Jacobs on NeimanMarcus.com and you can enter to win a $1,500 shopping spree. Don’t be fooled, no purchase is necessary, click on the fine print at the bottom of the page to enter the contest. Also check out their exclusive video. It’s basically a moving catalog with a few attempts at arty touches, but it’s definitely worth while to see how a garment – like the multi-print jersey dress above, $328 - moves and looks “in person” rather than just a still photograph.
