What happens when a Princeton architecture grad turns to fashion? Perfectly tailored, strong and intelligent clothing that is classic and wearable with a twist. Christine Rhee started her line CRHEE with a desire to create something new and innovative, fusing practical with the unconventional. She succeeds with innovative shapes in a muted color palette. WWD raved that "if 007 were a woman she would go to former architect Christine Rhee's body-conscious suiting in her fierce-yet-feminine line CRHEE." In the fall "Isolator" collection, her architecture background is especially apparent in the 'Slowdive' dress with stunning cutouts that€™s anything but boring. My favorite? The color-blocked wool gabardine 'Pris' pant. They€™re a perfect union of traditional and unorthodox! Prices range from $200- $800 and the fall collection is available at crhee.com!

In the world of fashion there aren't many styles as effortlessly chic and timeless as the shift dress. This fall, these classic dresses take on a modern and more versatile role, shifting from weekdays in the office to weekends out on the town. Since the style seems to make an appearance down every season's runways in some form or another, there are plenty of styles, colors, lengths, and fabrics to choose from. Stylehive is, of course, full of chic yet totally unique and versatile shifts. Like this cheeky election-themed vintage shift dress- it was made in 1968, but it's perfect for 2008. Marc Jacobs' bold kelly green shift is a modern and fun take on classic houndstooth. And this rich brocade-print linen shift is 3/4-sleeved, and perfect for fall settings.
