Androgyny in fashion is not a new thing. 

Hellooooo, David Bowie…

Throughout the years androgyny has found a place on fashion's "it" list.  But recently it seems that wearing clothing made for the opposite sex is becoming more mainstream.   

When a major rapper can rock a woman's shirt and no one bats and eye, you know that he's onto something…

Coach has gone retro


 

Remember when Coach made simple leather bags that didn't have sequins on them?

Let me jog your memory…

 

  Coach heritage for Netaporter

 

But these bags aren't from the 80's and 90's.  They will be for sale soon at Netaporter.com!

 

From the site:

COACH

Founded as an artisanal leather workshop in 1941, Coach has grown to represent quintessential all-American style. Today, under creative director Reed Krakoff, the focus continues to be on exquisite workmanship, quality and durability. NET-A-PORTER is pleased to be the exclusive launch partner of the 'Coach Classics' collection, comprising five iconic bags originally introduced in the '70s by designer and American sportswear pioneer Bonnie Cashin, and notable for their timelessness and craftsmanship.

 

 

Click above to get on the waiting list.  OR if you want to be hip and retro just hop on EBAY and buy one of these bags for $20 instead of $400+ I'm sure Netaporter will be charging.

Delicious Spreads – Jane Eyre edition

 

 

W continues to redeem itself.

After putting a certain member of the Kardashian clan on their cover, I was shaken to the core.  How could my favorite art/fashion magazine sink to the depths of a tabloid and put boobs mcgee on the cover??

But I have ignored their error and we have moved on.  We all make mistakes and my relationship with W continues to blossom.  

Please enjoy actor Mia Wasikowska in this week's Delicious Spread.
