About Harveynichols.com
Harvey Nichols history goes back to 1813 when Mr Benjamin Harvey opened a lined shop on the corner of Knightsbridge and Sloane street in London. Later on the business started selling oriental carpets, silks and luxury goods alongside the linens. In 1919 Harvey Nichols was bought by Debenhams, and, arriving to our days, the store embarked on a major refurbishment in food market, restaurant, bar and caffé. Other stores are available in Manchester, Leeds, Dublin, Edinburgh and Birmingham. At present, with the online store, you have a very good chance to shop among big brands such as Prada, Fendi, YSL, and indulge yourself in a fantastic beauty section where it’s so easy to get in and so hard to get out without a full basket…

New York Spring/Summer 2009 Fashion: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Yay! The Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S09 collection is bright in a tasteful and fun way -just like it was a few collections back. After a few seasons of dark and murky colours, it’s good to see lighter colours. It’s just so much easier to buy the light-coloured pieces when they hit stores.
Marc’s signature cute, girly dresses! Loves them! Look at the layers -this collection’s dresses seem to have another layer under the skirt. And I’m so glad the dresses aren’t long because maybe I’ve been corupted by The Hills, but shorter (-not indecently short of course,) dresses seem so much easier to wear and buy now!
Simple layering. The styling is great as usual. There are so many young, stylish pieces in these outfits. Don’t they make you just wish it would be spring again?

Proenza Schouler
The designers of all those super pretty and cute dresses last season (and that of the model silhouette of this blog’s FW08 banner!) did a 180 this season and went hardcore on us, and maybe a little bit punk.
The one thing that stood out from this collection though was the silhouette. It is definitely unique and edgy. It is not an immediately ew. But it sort of looks like the models are pinned onto a wall with by their sleeves. Or like those flying chipmunks (or whatever they are) we see in cartoons. The model in the cream suit jacket looks like her left arm is disjointed. I highly doubt this unique silhouette will be as well received as the pretty dresses last season (or I hope not!).
Cynthia Steffe
The Cynthia Steffe collection on the other hand is very wearable and pretty (as usual). I’ve always had a liking for them ever since I picked up something from this brand during Thanksgiving sale at Neiman Marcus.
Two things I love about this collection. First, it is very put together and neat, like this very chic dress here (left). This black/white circular print is is interesting and very versatile (it was used very prominently on the runway). Second, I love how wearable every piece is. Not only is this all white outfit (right) gorgeous in it’s own right, but individually these pieces are incredibly versatile. Besides the neat and the structured, they also offered the flowy and the floral. Ok, I probably wouldn’t pair the blue floral outfit (right) as it is, but I’d definitely wear those two pieces seperately. And I’m simply LOVING those genie capris!
Jill Stuart
The Jill Stuart collection is not exactly the most original or fashion forward show on the runway this season. Admittedly certain looks even reminds one of the Marc by Marc Jacobs runway a few years back (remember the long sleeved ribbed thermals layered with a very colorful array of other ballerina-esque items?). But this collection has its charm.Mostly because I am a sucker for flowy, flirty, girly ballerina-esque looks, which this collection is the epitome of. That simple white dress is gorgeous. And I love those genie pants. They are like the pant version of a pretty flowy skirt.
