Between sinking sales and mounting legal fees, you might wonder how American Apparel
has enough money to operate an international business. On Monday, the
company provided a response to that question: it might not.

Uniqlo Had a Sluggish Spring in the U.S.
With its fleet of stores now numbering 814 in Japan and 767 more internationally, the low-priced basics brand Uniqlo
led parent company Fast Retailing's revenue to grow 24 percent in the
first nine months of the year. Although unusually cold weather put a
damper on sales during June, Uniqlo Japan saw same store sales rise
nearly 10 percent in the third quarter, which ran from March to May 31 —
and the brand was even stronger in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan
and South Korea, which all beat their sales estimates.
Did Michael Kors Knock Off Shrimps's Recognizable Striped Coat?
It's
often said that there's no such thing as an original idea anymore — in
fashion or otherwise — and some weeks, that rings especially true. On
Tuesday, for instance, Skechers filed a lawsuit against Steve Madden that claims the latter footwear brand knocked off Skechers's patented "Go Walk" sneakers.
Meet the New Multi-Step Mascara Regimen
It's
no secret that makeup has become very specialized lately, and with
specialization comes multiple steps. People think nothing of using six
products to contour or slathering on 12 products in a Korean-inspired skin care regimen. Now this "more is more" philosophy is moving up to the eyes, and more specifically, to lashes.
16 Must-See Beauty Looks from the Fall 2015 Couture Shows
Couture is the best. After seasons of tasteful, subtle hair and
makeup at ready-to-wear runway shows, it's a relief to see completely
over-the-top looks for a change, if for no other reason than I don't
have to think of synonyms for "glowy" and "natural" to describe them.
Designers went all the way with hair and makeup for the fall 2015
couture shows, and it was dreamy and thought-provoking.
Madewell to Reprise Its Collaboration With Sézane Just in Time for Bastille Day
Last
fall, perennial cool-girl retail chain Madewell partnered up with
French label Sézane — which has a similarly hip cult following — on a
14-piece collaboration that perfectly captured the particular brand of
French insouciance that so many fashion lovers are fond of.
Bright Colors and Bold Patterns Spotted Outside the Paris Couture Shows
There was a motley crew of colors and patterns outside the haute couture shows in Paris this week, and we aren't just talking about the anti-fur protestors. Of the many fashion weeks that have already happened this year — from women's ready-to-wear to men's — couture is undeniably the fanciest, and as such, fashion's insiders dressed to the nines.
Alyssa's Chic, Convertible Shirt Dress
Often
times, it seems that no one can style a piece of clothing quite like
the man or woman who designed it. Case in point: when I dropped by Carin
Rodebjer's resort preview last month — where the native Swede walked
editors through her collection — I couldn't help but obsess over the
shirtdress she was wearing. More specifically, how she was wearing it.

Uniqlo outfits 'stylish' hijabs, dresses for the modern and modest women
Clothing retailer Uniqlo has teamed up with a UK-based fashion designer to launch a new “modest wear” collection, including a range of hijabs.
The range, designed by Hana Tajima, features stylish hijabs in a variety of colours and prints, headbands, long dresses and rayon blouses which aims to “cater to ladies who embrace modest fashion” as well as being “carefully designed to suit contemporary tastes”. The items will go on sale on Friday from the store’s website and outlet in Singapore.
Amazon has completely changed its fashion strategy
Amazon has changed its mind about being a luxury retailer.
The massive e-commerce company is saying it no longer is focusing on courting luxury brands, Jennie Perry, chief marketing officer of Amazon's fashion division, told Business of Fashion.
"There has been lot of speculation on us entering the luxury market and that is just not something that we’re focused on right now," Perry said.
Kiernan Shipka Shows Us There's More to Summer Than White Dresses
In my fantasy future for Sally Draper, the character Kiernan Shipka played on "Mad Men"
until the show wrapped forever last month, she goes to interesting
parties and always looks like the coolest girl in the room. Which pretty
much describes Shipka's life currently.

Up-and-Coming American Models to Watch
While
the models you see in ad campaigns and runway shows come from all
corners of the globe, some of the most famous supermodels in the world
were born and raised in the USA. Women like Cindy Crawford, Stephanie
Seymour, Christy Turlington Burns and Carolyn Murphy were discovered as
young women growing up in relatively small towns, and although they've
reached the pinnacle of industry success over the years, they had humble
beginnings (and less-than-ideal bookings), just like many other models trying to break into the business.
4 'New' Beauty Trends That Are Actually Old Techniques With Different Names
Certain trends in fashion and beauty are recycled every generation or so, like A-line miniskirts, flared jeans and the cat eye. Movie remakes are common, too. (And I would argue sometimes completely unnecessary.
