Pippa's Fashion Don't
Here at the SUCCARRA office we’ve had several conversations about Pippa Middleton and we’ve talked ourselves to the same conclusion multiple times: we don’t get it. Certainly, she’s an attractive girl and she’s got a great behind (butt padding rumors aside) but to us, she does not register as a fashion icon. Or as one of my coworkers put it: “Pippa: not...

Hope Is Not A Strategy
Some helpful tips from our CEO for aspiring fashion and accessories designers -

At the SUCCARRA office we often speak in awe of Leandra Medine’s constant fearlessness and splendid Man Repelling.

Yesterday on her site, she featured some gorgeous tribal inspired bangles (and a to-die-for crossbody.)

1 Piece, 5 Ways
High fashion has historically eschewed times of economic hardship and strain: during the great depression, one of the only companies to increase profits was Hermes, maker of the iconic (and expensive) Birkin bag. During World War II, women would paint stocking lines down the backs of their legs as nylon was no longer available, and today in 2011 The Row’s $39,000 alligator backpack has...
