So how is retail and fashion editors mixing at this point? I’ve noticed a pattern among well known fashion editors jumping ship to the retail side of the industry. One major notable was former Harper's Bazaar Accessories Director, Ana Maria Pimentel joining the ranks of Neiman Marcus Group as Fashion Director for Women’s Accessories.
Ana Maria Pimentel exclusively told Chic Inspector, "In this day and age where magazines are exploring retail opportunities, retailers have on-line components and websites are becoming more and more editorialized, it was a natural evolution for my career path to join the Neiman Marcus group after almost 15 years of editorial experience."
Let’s see which other fashion editors are now working in retail:

Chic Inspector's Earth Day 2012 Picks |
It's that time of the year again when we all stop and think about the environment, the materials we recycle and Mother Earth in general. It's Earth Day! Sometimes there's a misconception that eco-friendly clothes and sustainable fabrics are dowdy and fugly. It's 2012 and technology and other processes make it easier for designers to join the eco-movement.
The T by Alexander Wang taupe playsuit is a tencel and linen-blend, if you didn't know, tencel is an eco-friendly sustansible fabric. Stella McCartney is a designer that believes in eco-fashion and excudes her vegan lifestyle into some of her pieces. AG Adriano Goldschmied The Stilt Jeans are eco-friendly not only are they made in the USA (thumbs for in-house production) but they are made with less water and chemicals and natural and bio-degradable fibers. Nissa Pyrite Bracelet is made from recycled metal chains and is organically handcrafted.

Robert Rodriguez FW '12 Preview |
For Robert Rodriguez Fall '12 collection it was an infusion of sportswear and evening wear. There were combinations of knit sweaters with leather piping, structured leather dresses and a lace embroidered peplum blazer, which I loved. Speaking of peplum, the collection didn't fear this trend, there were skirts, blouses and even trousers that gave a subtle nod to the hip expanding silhouette. The most evident hybrid of sporty and evening-wear were the neoprene (the fabric popular for scuba-wear) structured tops, skirts and dresses. One of Robert's signature is to experiment with different textiles and make it just as wearable like any other.
