Truth be told, I wasn't planning to make this post. But after seeing the totally adorable, stunning, and hilarious J-Pop duo Yanakiku on Saturday, July 19 during J-Pop Summit 2014, falling in love with them is utterly unavoidable. So this is me confessing my love...
The charity fashion show Fashion On The Square has started last weekend, but the celebration is far from over. 2014 marks the 10th anniversary of Fashion on The Square, and it's a week-long celebration you don't want to miss. Having covered the event for the past two years, we saw beloved local designers Joseph Domingo and Colleen Quen (pictured above) honored during the event. This year, the pinnacle of the week-long celebration on July 27th will honor Wilkes Bashford and feature Cindy Quach, Rachel Riot, Christina Morgan Cree, Candice Cuoco, and many more.

I have been a fan of NBC's Fashion Star. I think the premise is brilliant and progressive; not only it gives the featured designers a great dose of exposure, it also builds immediate shopping impulse for the featured retailers.
Tonight on NBC's Fashion Star (Season 2, Episode 8), my favorite Silvia Arguello was shockingly eliminated*. A Milanese fashion designer and Vogue Italia favorite, Silvia has made her mark on this season as the highest seller on the show ($905K record sales for NBC's Fashion Star Season 1 and 2, successfully selling to all three retailers: Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Express). Here, she discusses her shocking elimination, experience thus far, and positive outlook to launch her prestigious Paris-based clothing line Rosa Clandestino in the US market through the upcoming launch of her global e-commerce store.
When I first stumbled upon Ruti Boutiqueseveral months ago at 2119 Fillmore St. and came out with a pair of Alembika pants with oversized pockets near the bottom sides, I knew that I'm going to love this boutique so much. Finally on Sunday, November 11, the plan was realized. Thanks to Camila Casanas (Ruti Boutique's brand ambassador), I got to chat with the owner Ruti Zisser one day after she touched down from her latest trip to Israel.
After watching A Man's Story screening at Academy of Art University on Friday, November 2, 2012, there is no doubt in my mind that Ozwald Boateng is a very accomplished British menswear designer armed with impeccable sense of style, masterful classic tailoring...
Chatting briefly with Emily Dang over the lively crowd at Fashion+Tech Expo & Social Media Panel during San Francisco Fashion Week was a pleasant experience. She's very smart, charming, and passionate about her business SNOBSWAP, the new online marketplace for luxury consignment bartering and purchasing. SNOBSWAP invites fashionistas to swap, sell, send counter offers, or purchase its listed items in order to "refresh" their wardrobe without continuously piling out stuff.
