Why Classic Style Endures

To quote the famous Heidi Klum, “as you know in fashion one day you’re in, and the next day you’re out.” This is very true BUT sometimes an exception comes around and you find certain styles and designers that stick around for a while.

CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Winner

If you don’t know what I mean, you’re just going to have to make a little visit this week to see for yourself.
