Could this be the world's cheapest dress? Possibly! It's a product of Sarah Jessica Parker's foray into fashion design. This fantastic blue dress is from her line, Bitten, available in Steve and Barry's for $8.98. Steve and Barry's also carries "Dear" by Amanda Bynes and "Eleven" by Venus Williams. Guess what else? Everything in Steve and Barry's is less than $10.00! Who says you can't shop during a recession?
“For a lot of people — young women, middle-age women, regular women — there is this idea about wanting fashion in an affordable way. They are living in a less rarefied world.” - Sarah Jessica Parker


Wondering why everyone was at the Met Costume Institute Gala (see slideshow of notable, outfits, ahem, celebs in the post below)--besides looking at each others outfits? Why, viewing the “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy” exhibit of course! Read more about the exhibit here. You too can see the exhibit through September 1. Call (212) 535-7710 or visit metmuseum.org for tickets.
"Designers liberate themselves from the banal just as superheroes do. They do remarkable things with materials and craft." - New York Times
