Runway Trend: Hitchcock Housewives

This week, we're covering a trend we're calling Hitchcock Housewives. These looks are heavily influenced by 50s silhouettes, but with a slightly dark or sinister vibe. Think Dior's New Look in lots of black leather, and dark colors, with classy ladylike gloves that make us wonder if you're fashionable or  just trying to not leave fingerprints behind.

(L to R: A Degree Fahrenheit, ALC, Antonio Marras, APC, Aquilano, Band of Outsiders, Billy Reid, Carolina Herrera, Chado Ralph Rucci, Christian Dior, Co, Collette Dinnigan, Lanvin, Oscar de la Renta, Prada, Rachel Comey, Rochas)

Remember a Simpler Time With This Brooklyn Rocker



The days of James Dean and Marlon Brando may be long gone, but that doesn't mean the infectious, willful rock'n'roll music that made those rough exteriors and leather jackets that became the stuff of girls' dreams has to go away too.

Brooklyn singer Devin, previously Devin Therriault, has been performing in the city for years, and released a record through Frenchkiss Records last year. Romancing is a fun, energetic freshman debut for this slicked-back, nostalgic rocker.
