Lately, it seems as though designers with a niche in either womenswear or menswear are now expanding their business and designing for both sexes. With the economy being so bleak and fashion companies being so hard up for cash these days, do you really blame them? CDFA nominated menswear designer Tim Hamilton recently announced that he would try his hand at designing for women. Rick Owens and wonderboy Gareth Pugh just showed their first menswear collections to rave reviews at Fashion Week in Paris last week. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen plan to add menswear to their high-end label, The Row. And, just today, Style.com is reporting that Alexander Wang (who just came into some extra cash as a CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund award recipient) is planning to show a men's collection this Fall. Wang even says that he will be wearing the men's pieces himself, so keep your eyes peeled for a little preview. While I'm not usually a tee shirt kind of guy, best believe that I'll be breaking my neck to get my hands on one of his new pieces!

SUPER EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!!!
Hey guys! This been in the works for some time now, but I didn't want to write about it until I was 100%, absolutely sure that it was truly happening...and it is! So, are you ready for my huge announcement (drumroll please....)? I'M GOING TO NEW YORK FASHION WEEK THIS FALL!!! Yes, I will be in NYC from September 4-7th and will DEFINATELY be working at the Patrik Ervell (whose menswear designs are pictured above) and Tim Hamilton shows on Saturday 9/6! They're TBA, but I might also be working some other shows too (in between camping out in front of the tents at Bryant Park all day looooong to maybe get a glimpse of Blake Lively at the Miss Sixty show, Kanye at Rock & Republic, or L.C and Whitney at Sass & Bide again??? Who knows!) All I can say is that I'm super excited and I'm really hoping to take all of you along with me for the ride! Here are some photos from these the two designers' previous shows:
