Shop The Runway

Here is the Bluefly accessory wall filled with men's accessories! Will we ever see this again? I have to say that I am appreciating the accessories much more this season. I can not remember even a single pair of shoes from any previous season's wall, but I probably will never forget the blue boots that Elisa chose for the first challenge....

The Recap of the Manolo!

For those of you who felt last night's challenge was unfair, The Manolo agrees:Menswear does not fall under the purview of the fashion designer. It belongs properly and only to the tailor, to men who have devoted their lives to the arcana of button holes and pick-stitched lapels and French facings, and who know that what matters most in menswear is material, cut, fit and detail.You cannot really learn this at the fashion college....

The concept you pitched to Sarah Jessica Parker was strong enough to earn the role of team leader.
