LVHRD’s The 2nd Annual Master-Disaster Fashion Duel was nothing short of sartorial glory. For all the sleek stylishness of the personalities that showed up at Rock Candy on Monday, November 21, the thematic apparel produced by dueling designers Rebecca Turbow and Corey Pak captivated and impressed the event’s attendees. It was, in short, a fashion spectacular.

Given a limited set of tools, a curious set of fabrics, a scantily clad model, and one hour’s time, fashion designers Rebecca Turbow of Safe Clothes and Corey Pak of American Eagle Outfitters were challenged to create high-speed couture that spoke to the theme of “Villainy.” Judges Robert E. Lee of Kenneth Cole, Piera Gelardi of Refinery29, and Maya Singer (formerly of Fashion Week Daily) took the bench to share their expert opinions and determine the winner.

After a nail-biting match, Corey Pak received the nod from the judges, making her this year’s LVHRD Champion of Fashion. Stay tuned for more from this designer when her upcoming line, Middleburgh, debuts next fall.

Gobble gobble no more. Happy Thanksgiving from thehappycorp! We’d invite you all to feast with us, but all we’ve got is an assortment of unhealthy and/or unnatural edibles (i.e. caffeine & sugar). We did want to share the death of this turkey with you, though, as it is so symbolic of the Thanksgiving tradition. To our vegetarian and vegan friends: we mean no offense. Just keeping it real.

So, safe

J3tlag: What does your city mean to you?
Dooker: New York. Filled with survivors. Tall, dark, handsome and humble. Has a gravity all its own. No matter how high you climb, there's still further to go. It remembers history and acknowledges destiny. Skyscraper images aglow in the dark.

Gravitas, yes. Superiority, after all, is a serious thing. This Dooker.com design by Doug Jaeger wants to prove something. It wants to show that New York stands alone in strong feeling, deep meaning, and bold design.

You can help by casting your VOTE.

So… want to see Doug in nylons?
