Dunbrooke—Lady Savannah: Waists had a big moment at Fall Fashion Week—here at Promo Marketing, puns about waists are also having their moment in the sun. Haste makes waist, you know. It high time you all start working on your waist management, because as everyone's grandmother can attest, waist not, want not. Am I right? Anyway, this coat embodies the trend while still giving end-users a choice. They can cinch the drawcord for an on-trend hourglass shape, or they can just leave it for a go-anywhere, chic raincoat.

May 19, 2009

Despite the tendency to “go big or go home” on the runways of New York’s Fall Fashion Week, it’s important to keep things in perspective. At least designers weren’t insisting we accessorize with a live snake or a headdress made out of bubble wrap. This time.

From the Ground Up
February 1, 2009

SOME MAY HAVE bad memories of buying that first car. For others, recollections of purchasing a bum computer, house or even a bottle of weight-loss pills could be what’s causing all those late-night anxiety attacks.

A Coat for All Seasons
September 1, 2008

What does Sir Thomas More have to do with coats? Nothing, actually. But, to get literary for a second, “A Man for All Seasons” was the title of a play about him, written in 1954 by Robert Bolt, and naturally, brought to film in 1966. Neither one of these have anything to do with coats, though, either. The phraseology surrounding him, however? Well, that’s another story.
