First off, I want to applaud Prada for showcasing a variety of body types during their runway show. And this model is more shapely than your average stick thin, teenage runway model, but if this is what the fashion industry considers curvy, we’re all in trouble.
Since Sloane was born, I feel like I am constantly reordering my priorities. What gets my attention today? How much time do I have? Is there extra energy for something more than the basics?
A girlfriend texted me Saturday with a question that was uniquely D.C. Her office is no longer suits and sheath dresses, but it’s not jeans and athleisure either. “Can an office be ‘semi-formal’?,” she pondered. “What do I wear for that?!” Enter the shirtdress, the solution for summer.
Welcome to the warm weather months. Outside, you will roast. Inside, you will freeze. The air conditioning will be your constant nemesis, as it “conditions” the air to a temperature that is primarily suitable for men. Luckily, this cardigan can keep you warm even when your fiery resentment wanes.

Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]
I think those clothes look just as good on those models as they do on the negative zero models. I don’t buy the "clothes hang better on a thinner body" BS at all. YOU wear the clothes, not vise versa.
WOW! Kudos to Prada- but I agree- size 8 is curvy? I guess it could be worse if Prada would have used the "plus size" in lieu of curvy.
Prada rocks! Finally, we average-sized ladies can get a sense of how runway fashions would REALLY look! Brilliant, just brilliant!

Scary, indeed, especially as that pic is of Doutzen Kroes, who is a size 4-6! For better or worse, the average American is a size 14. Even for myself, as a busty size 10-12, I find it hard to find good quality, well made, stylish and affordable clothing. It’s difficult to visualize "a look" when all the examples one sees are of size 0-2.
