We are extremely sad to report that Alexander McQueen has commited suicide.  The genius couture designer always thought outside the box and never ceased to surpise us.   Our thoughts go to his friends and family.

So. Here are NYDS our Editor has been seriously craving some Stella McCartney style lace leggings.  SO...being the crafty fashionista, she got right to work!! Here's the end product.  She used Alternative Apparel Leggings ($24.99 and totally worth it!) and White Stretch Lace (only $0.99/Yard) ...et Voila!!

New York Design Shop would like to wish all of our friends a Happy Winter! It's getting cold here in NYC so we decided to put together a HOT PINK Tree to get us all in the Holiday mood!

The ladies of BLEACHBLACK teamed up with Urban Outfitters for a destroyed jewelry collaboration that's sure to bring you some D.I.Y. inspiration. . . the mini-collection is comprised of rhinestones, studs, suede, and antique jewelry left-overs. The items retail for $28.00 and $38.00.

It has been confirmed that Jean Paul Gaultier is designing a line for Target to launch next spring. It will be available in more than 250 stores and Target.com on March 7. The collection will be on sale through April 11, so get it while it's hot!

Gaultier will be the third prominent designer to do a collection for the mass retailer. Each designer prior had chosen an influence for their line. Alexander McQueen chose Leila Moss, and Anna Sui reflected the style of the characters of Gossip Girl in her collection.

We are super excited to even be considered, and love how our customers and fans support us!  Thanks Juli B!!

A Chanel logo puts stars in the eyes of every fashion-lover, so its no surprise the impending release of 31 Rue Cambon is creating all kinds of buzz.

From the Blair headband to the punk chicness of Little J, Gossip Girl inspired trends are popping up everywhere. So it comes as no surprise that the stylist behind these looks, Eric Daman, has compiled his professional thoughts and ideas in a book tantalizingly entitled ‘You Know You Want It’. Now we can all dress to impress with Daman’s helpful tips…watch out Upper East Side. xoxo.

I think we all might have seen this coming. Taylor Jacobson has finally spread her wings and flown the Rachel Zoe coop. After constant complaints this season about her role at Rachel Zoe, Taylor recently sent an email out to colleagues shadowing her feelings we have seen on-camera. “I am saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure. After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap and go off and style on my own.”

My Fellow Fashionistas,

Welcome Welcome Welcome!!

I am proud to present the official launch of the New York Design Shop.  We have been working for months to provide the DIY Fashion world with a home, and here it is!
