"In the year since Ms. Waight Keller, formerly the designer of Pringle of Scotland, became the creative director at Chloé, many visitors have noted the remarkable calmness that radiates from her studio. That, and the fact that roughly 80 percent of the hundreds of employees at the company are women, which is a point of pride at a house that has projected an aura of femininity for 60 years."

"'I'm the perfect target client,' he says. 'I always like clothing and being fashionable and looking good, but I just never had the time to go and search for the right things.'Mr. Song now has proof that he's not alone. Men like him have propelled the Montreal-based online clothing brand he co-founded, Frank & Oak, to overnight success."

Vanessa Friedman Wore One Bag All Fashion Month (The Cut)
"After years spent working as fashion features director for InStyle U.K.and as the European editor of Elle, before decamping to newspaper-land.
