Looks online

So you're living the digital life, and you want to look good doing it? While the fashion set hasn't exactly seized the web, a few designers are working the online world in style.

Designers you know and love

The Scarf Booklet from Nicole Miller demonstrates maneuvres you never knew you could make with a scarf, including "hiding from your old boyfriend in the frozen food department." Plus, wearable bridesmaids' dresses -- how novel!

Donna Karan's site is a little less practical, to say the least. Her quarterly Woman to Woman mini-magazine reveals tidbits like this: "Nature has this amazing way of spontaneously blending colors and textures together. Just pick up a handful of stones and you can see the perfect tweed." For Donna lovers only.

The super-graphical Kenar site features new photos of spokesmodel Linda Evangelista each month. The audio-enabled can "hear Linda talk about Kenar" if they so desire.

The bold and the beautiful

My avant-garde fave is German designer Walt Van Beerendonck's spring/summer '97 collections at W & LT, a.k.a. Wild & Lethal Trash. There's tons of interactive stuff, backstage photos and very little explanation of where this nutty fashion comes from.

New York designer Sylvia Heisel's clean, classic resort collection is available to order online now at the NY Style site.

You'll applaud -- and maybe buy -- the sleek, wearable designs from Product, the collection of L.A.-based Elaine Kim. You can also register there to win a free outfit.
