American designer has relocated his Dallas, Texas boutique from North Park to Highland Village Park to keep with the times. As the brand continues to grow, so does the need for more space. The CFDA award-winning designer continues to infuse his southern hospitality and modern aesthete to his retail shops with this one and the other five flagships nationwide are no different.

One of Gainesvilles newest boutique, Three-Thirty Couture, makes its mark at its first fashion show tonight. A fog machine blasted smoke in bursts at the beginning and in the middle of the show, but the clothes and attitude had more than enough drama. The collection featured dresses and lingerie in sexy, luxe fabrics. The line was very feminine and screamed it with lace, leather, straps and feathers, plus the models curve-hugging confidence captured the audiences attention. Models strutted their stuff while stopping to blow the camera kisses. Stay tuned for the special announcement Three-Thirty will make at the end of the show.

NEW YORK — Marc Jacobs is the guy who can change the direction of a fashion juggernaut with a single silhouette. If other designers are doing sleek and slim, he’ll do big and poufy. If everyone else is doing neutral colors, he’ll go bold.
There have been the grunge collections, the granny collections, harem pants, punk prom dresses and ultra-chic skirt suits. If they seem out of step with trends seen elsewhere on runways during a particular season, the others come around in the weeks and months that follow, just when Jacobs is ready to move on again.
Yet, while he swaps out the details in rapid fire, there is almost unparalleled consistency, too: He likes surprises, takes risks, embraces showmanship, pairs patterns and textures, finds balance between artistry and commercialism, and sees the importance in a visual statement.

At the Pringle of Scotland A/W 11-12 show during London Fashion Week as I was exiting, I quickly glanced over the Central Saint Martins x Pringle Archive Project that was laid out at the entrance to the venue and knew instantly that it had to be blogged about. Then I was stopped by the all-too-familiar Press Embargo warning from the PR. Boo.

Good things come to those who wait though, as at Pitti Uomo in Florence last week, the project was formally presented complete with the second stage of the project, aptly timed to usher in the new with the old, seeing as Alistair Carr has just begun his creative directorship at Pringle, replacing Claire Waight Keller.
