Vera Wang
New York Fashion Week Spring 2009: Vera Wang
What: Vera Wang Runway Show, Tent at Bryant Park, New York City Fashion Week Spring 09
The Lowdown: We’re not sure why Vera Wang wants us in shapeless sack dresses and giant chain necklaces, but it appears that she does. This Spring 09 collection couldn’t be more somber, featuring black, gray, brown and a very drab dark olive, and a smattering of silver, gold, and orange that just couldn’t quite cheer things up. We did like some of the 20s vibe we felt with certain pieces, and we’ll give Wang credit for doing something other than all the cinched waists we’ve seen on other runways. The only problem? Well, we were kinda liking those cinched waists . . .
Budget Solution: If you happen to like a tunic or shift dress, or if it just suits your body type best, then this is a silouette you can make work for Spring. Hit Old Navy for this Sleeveless Satin Shift Dress in Stainless Steel, $25 or try Twelve by Twelve come Spring.

Vera Wang at Kohl’s Department Stores?
Read the latest about the Simply Vera by Vera Wang line at Kohls
Yep, you heard right. Vera Wang and crew are in deep talks with the folks at Kohls department stores to produce a mass market clothing line for the department store. Kohls is hoping that a partnership with Wang will do for their stores, what Isaac Mizrahi did for Target stores—made couture accessible to the masses and bring some extra dough into the stores.
Excerpt from the New York Times Article regarding the potential partnership:
Ms. Wang and executives from her company have been in talks for several months to develop such a collection, conceptually similar to what Isaac Mizrahi now designs for Target and Martha Stewart pioneered with Kmart. Ms. Wang’s most serious discussions, about clothing and home collections, have been with Kohl’s, the value-oriented chain based in Wisconsin that has been building a stable of exclusive brands for its 732 stores, including Candie’s, Daisy Fuentes, Chaps and Laura Ashley, and a new Tony Hawk product line for spring.
Based upon a quick trip to my local Kohls, the department store chain needs to do everything in their power to lure Wang to design a line. There were more Christmas sweaters and elastic waist band pants per square foot at the store than at a convention of Kindergarten teachers.
