From a Neiman Marcus Insider

Sometimes magazines are the only places you have real access to fashion "insiders" and "experts." But this go-around, one of my fave fashion sites, Fashionista, sat down with Neiman Marcus' creative director to see what he's thinking will be big for this season, next, etc. I love how they have a totally different view of what goes on the store floors and listening to them talk about the process could cue you in on what's going to be "hot" next. It can also help you stay one step ahead of the trends so you'll always be totally yourself--and totally stylish. Take a read, I love what a character he is, and I feel totally informed after hearing him explain what's up.
