The world’s taken notice that consumers need to be stimulated in order to revive the economy. With Vogue gathering all of fashion super powers, deciding to launch Fashion’s Night Out and everyone that is anyone coming into town for Fashion Week, we’re wondering just one question: How can New York follow up such big events to massage the consumers shopping woes?
Designer Rad Hourani presented his new collection for his RAD line at Soho Grand Hotel. Here are some exclusive pictures of the collection. Head over to our sister site ModernGlossy.com for a rundown of the 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 with 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!
