    Nicole Smith is an editor at CraftStylish, a site dedicated to fashionable how-tos and do-it-yourself crafts. Below she introduces a fun project in which you can embellish clothing yourself with exposed zippers.

    Zippers have come a long way over the years; they're used in everything from garments and shoes to accessories and home decor. You may install a zipper simply to let you in and out of a garment, but why not make it stylish at the same time? In the Spring '09 issue of SewStylish, couture sewer Anna Mazur showed you how to insert zippers four ways. Here is one of the techniques inspired by many designers including Marni. When installing an exposed zipper, you can throw all the zipper-insertion rules out the window. Turn the seam allowances to the right side, topstitch the zipper over them to conceal the fabric edges, and let the zipper tape show on the outside of the garment. You can choose a matching or contrasting zipper for even more stand-out style. Click on over to the CraftStylish blog for the full step-by-step instructions... then get sewing!

With a pedigree from Parsons School of Design, Tory Burch, Polo Ralph Lauren and The Gap, the 29-year-old designer is now striking it hot with her own namesake collection of handbags.

    NYFW Round-Up: Fashion Is All in the Details

    Chris K. on Feb 7, 2008 3:16 PM PST
    After seeing scores of fashion shows over seven days, I'll be honest, all of the clothes start looking the same. Betsey Johnson and Philip Lim looking the same? What am I smoking, right? Unfortunately, nothing. So sometimes its good to take a step back, and then take two steps forward, to see the intricacies that drew you to the designs in the first place. Sometimes its the place where two divergent patterns meet. Sometimes its the intricate interplay of 4-5 separates. Sometimes its a simple shape used in a new way. Sometimes its just indefinably cool. Here then are some of my favorite details from the New York Fashion Week runways.
