Sweetie Advice

Cat is out today, working on a photo shoot for Westword’s annual Summer Guide, which comes out on June 7. The entire guide features fashions by local designers and from local shops. You won’t want to miss it. In the meantime, here’s a sage piece of advice from one of…

In Search of the Perfect Pair of Jeans

The perfect pair of jeans, the ones that make your bum look pert and thighs slim, are elusive. A mythical creature, almost. Like a fashion-industry unicorn. Sure, there’s always the promise that if you just pay the three figures for the Sevens or the Paper Denim & Cloth they’ll take…

CDOT Reconsidering Trains Along I-70?

Last week, Colorado Department of Transportation head Russell George announced that the agency would be reexamining its stance that highway widening is the “preferred alternative” for addressing gridlock along the I-70 mountain corridor…

Denver Style Makes the New York Times. Yawn.

Some of Denver’s favorite local boutiques made the New York Times Travel section on Sunday. There was a great deal of buzz and excitement when the photographer and reporter were out here a few months ago, and after all the waiting for our fifteen minutes of fame, here’s what the…

Picture Perfect Fashions

While Cat’s on the Vogue kick, here are a few of the ads that just popped. I mean, seriously, don’t we all read fashion mags for the ads, anyway? The words are sort of incidental. (Although, Cat always flips immediately and directly to Vogue’s “Nostalgia” column. The pieces are always…

Paul Poiret is en Vogue

Cat spent a good portion of last night sitting in a hospital room, waiting for her friend Dominique to pop out her first sprog. Let’s just say it wasn’t easy going, so Cat had plenty of time to finally read the May Vogue. And by read, Cat means flip through…

Jaslene is America’s Next Top Model

The other big shocker of Wednesday night was Jaslene taking home the America’s Next Top Model contract. Cat didn’t really have any opinion either way — she was pretty meh on this cycle all together — but odds makers were not favoring the lovely Latina lady. So yay for her!…

Rick Owens, the Original Jeffrey Sebelia?

Scenes from Rick Owens’s Spring 2007 collection. (Photos by First Look.) Last night’s National Design Awards were a shocker, at least in the fashion category: Rick Owens beat out both Narciso Rodriguez and Phillip Lim for the ten-year-old honor bestowed by the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. (More photos after…

The Week in Fashion: May 16 to May 20

Wednesday, May 16 JSG Designer Showhouse The only thing Cat likes as much as clothes porn is real estate porn, and right now there’s some serious flesh on display over at 2900 Inca Street. For the 32nd year, the Junior Symphony Guild has teamed up with some of the best…

Denver is Fly(paper)

CU-Denver student Sophie T. made Flypaper, the Bluefly.com blog, today. Apparently she was spotted at the Auraria Campus Spring Fling, and the editors there liked her personal style. Glad that Denver’s hotties are getting some props, but Cat could have done without this bit of snark (though it’s not as…

5 Degrees Warmer Fashion Show

Babylon Floral spiced up the evening with its wearable floral arrangements. Slideshow Cat crawled out from under her dive-bar rock on Saturday night to check out the 5 Degrees Warmer fashion show at, you guessed it, 5 Degrees. Now, this is the first time Cat has been out in LoDo…

Kate Moss Flops for Topshop

This is the capstone of Kate’s collection. Collective disappointment ensues. Cat’s apparently been napping this week, as she missed the big launch of Kate Moss’s new line for British Topshop. Yep, the girl who defines heroin chic – even after rehab for coke – now has her own collection. She…

Farewell, Isabella Blow

Greg Kessler, from Style.com This was a sad, sad week for fashion. On Monday, May 8, Isabella Blow died from a drug overdose, and with her passed one of the most interesting, eccentric, fabulous personalities in all of fashion. Her hats alone were cause for celebration. She discovered Alexander McQueen…

Skull boots, skull belt buckles, skull hoodies, skull camis, skull skirts, skulls, skulls, skulls. Welcome to the Day of the Dead, Denver – if only a few years late…
