Nautica, founded in 1983, took its name from the Latin word “Nauticus” for ship. So what better place to hold an exclusive preview of their Fall 2009 Menswear Collection, than the Intrepid Museum. The museum made for a nice backdrop to the collection featuring thirty looks. The ensembles featured classic naval outerwear, cotton peacoats in navy and charcoal wool, double faced rain jackets, orange coast guard parka, 3/4 length Captain’s coat, a nylon puffer jacket with faux fur trim collar, and cotton/wool pants.
During the presentation, a short film played on the huge screen (pictured above) showing planes landing and taking off on the Essex class carrier. Tons of pictures when you read the rest. Read more

Stacie J. and Patrick Wellington
Wellington Hair Spa specializes in custom tailored consultations and hair analysis for all hair types. If you seek natural hair care, colors, trims, cuts, and conditioning treatments, Wellington Hair Spa should be on your short list of hair spas. To celebrate 25 years of exceptional hair service, the spa held an exclusive bash at the salon located in the heart of Chelsea (NYC). Founder Patrick Wellington greeted the crowd and NBC’s The Apprentice season two contestant/entrepreneur Stacie J hosted the event along side hair care brand Mizani (Swahili for balance). Mizani consists of professional relaxers, shampoos, treatments, and hair colors. Chef Jesse Jones provided the Hors D’oeuvres, which were delicious and went quite well with the Bouké wine.
Guests did not leave empty handed. More details and HQ pictures when you read the rest.

On Location: Tibi Fall 2009 Fashion Show

A few weeks ago we brought you an exclusive interview with Tibi designer and creator Amy Smilovic. This fashion week season we were invited to the runway presentation of the Fall 2009 line.
The quote by Amy Smilovic at the top of the Tibi itinerary read “Fall is about a light hearted moodiness influenced by the Russian fairytale “The Tale Of The Firebird.” Okay, so we’ll see some Russian influenced clothes this evening! This should be interesting. Based on her previous fall line, which I LOVED, I was excited to see what she had to present.
I was a bit disappointed at the overall fall line. There were a few stand out pieces, but the rest of the line was a bit simple-dull. The Russian influence translated in the ever-present black pieces and fur hats and gloves. There were ruffles, boxy pieces and she brought back paisley, which has to be colored a certain way for me to like it and this was not the case- damn those Russians! My favorite out of the simpler designs though was the Yelena Bustier Jumpsuit- a dark purple bustier, high-waisted black, loose, ankle tight pants. Simple, chic, nice! Read more
