Fall Into These Western-Inspired Styles From Carhartt
WWMW? It's the day after her birthday and we're wondering "What Would Madonna Wear?" After looking through the pieces Carhartt sent over from their women's fall collection, we think we have an idea. The pieces, while warm and comfortable, give off a "Don't Tell Me" sartorial vibe and channel the sporty gym clothes the paparazzi often snap [...]
Working Girls In Workwear: Catching Up With Carhartt
Last Saturday we were working. We broke out our toolkit and hammered away all day. The only times we weren't hammering were when we were lifting wooden beams or wielding the screwdriver like a pro. It doesn't matter that we were just assembling Ikea furniture in our apartment, what matters is that we rolled up our sleeves and proved that [...]
A.P.C. x Carhartt: 2012
We've written about the secret life of Carhartt in Europe before. The first time we caught a whiff was in Dubrovnik where, we kid you not, all the cool kids were wearing it and it was stocked next to brands like Roxy and Vans.

A DGAT in the NYT: Anna Sui
Check out our other favorite Detroit-born fashion designer, Anna Sui, in this week's Asked & Answered in the New York Times. What does the Pewabic-loving Miss. Sui say? Since the beginning I loved the idea of prêt-a-porter and maintaining an accessible price point. I am not into simply using precious fabrics. I would much rather put all the [...]
Do you have STYLE?
Style and fashion. We hear those words and instantly look for the nearest runway. Detroit may not be the fashion capital of the world (yet), but we definitely know how to work it. We went to STYLE!, an event hosted by WDET and B.L.A.C. Magazine at the Historic Gem Theatre on November 2 that brought together high profile fashion journalists and [...]
