Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Videos, Men, Women
From Derek Lam and Alexander Wang to Max Azria and Jason Wu (and many more!), a quick recap of New York Fashion Week is covered in this 5-minute clip, spliced with interview clips from designers and celebrity fans.
Designer Phillip Lim had quite a tongue-twisting way of describing his collection: “It is about the mystery woman. Us as voyeurs, us being curious as who this woman is and how she goes on about her life, from day to night, weekend to weekday. And it starts with the idea of deconstructing construction to reconstructed.”
And you should hear what Michael Kors had to say about a certain pet peeve…

Janet Jackson Gets Cozy at Ralph Lauren
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Women, Dresses, Tops, Jeans, Skirts
Janet Jackson attended the Ralph Lauren fashion show last Friday.
The 43-year-old singer sat in the front row of the New York Fashion Week show alongside the legendary designer’s family. When asked what her favorite look was, Janet replied, “I love them all!”
Ralph’s Spring/Summer ‘10 collection saw models embracing the “resilient spirit” of the nation and its work ethic. Among the looks featured were silver-sequined slashed jeans, work shirts, and metallic blue lame gowns with details of a workman’s coverall.
The designer, who’s known for his classic sportswear brand, said that he wanted his blue-hued collection to reflect the nation’s drive during the recent economic problems: “Hard times seem to sharpen our capacity for idealism and our optimism that tomorrow will be a better day. I am inspired by the character of the worker, the farmer, the cowboy, the pioneer women of the prairies living authentically through challenging times.”
His collection also featured 30s-inspired delicate floral-print dresses and contrasting, tailored denim styles.
Pastels Abound at Michael Kors

Project Runway judge Michael Kors took some time out of his television gig to get back to his day job, where he chose a completely new color palette for his Spring/Summer ‘10 collection.
The American designer showed his latest line at New York Fashion Week yesterday and amazed onlookers by opting for pastel fabrics.
“I’ve never done pastels before—I always felt they were a bit too saccharine. But they seem right for spring. That’s what it’s all about.”
The line featured sharp angles and dresses with panels cut away, all sewn in pale blues, lilacs and soft green shades. Also shown were loose-fitting jumpers, Grecian dresses with cowl necks, shift and cocktail dresses. Sitting front row was actor Michael Douglas, who revealed that he loves attending fashion shows.
“Michael is a friend, and I like to go to at least one show a season, to keep in touch and catch a bit of theater,” Douglas said.
Rachel Zoe Obsesses Over Shoes

Rachel Zoe has “too many shoes.”
The celebrity stylist, who has worked with Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, and Anne Hathaway, is obsessed with footwear and can’t help splashing out on new pairs.
“I love them, I have way too many shoes.”
Rachel wore a pair of Louis Vuitton Cancan boots, which are thigh-high with laces and a four-inch heel, to the Marc Jacobs show at New York Fashion Week on Monday and revealed that they are her current must-have item.
“These boots, I’ve got to have these frickin’ boots. I love them. And I’m obsessed with them. They take a while to get on, but they’re definitely my favorite boots. Clearly they were not meant for me—on the runway they were on a six-foot model—but I don’t care. I think that’s the whole fun of fashion. You should wear it because you feel like it.”
Rachel is a firm believer in experimenting with different looks and adapting your style to suit the season, but admits that she is always inspired by the ‘60s and ‘70s: “Some of my favorite things are vintage scarves, vintage sunglasses, and great cocktail rings. You find them all over the world at flea markets!”
Rodarte Presents Inspiring Collection
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Women
Actress Kirsten Dunst has praised Rodarte’s “inspiring” Spring/Summer ‘10 collection.
The actress was seated in the front row, alongside Elijah Wood and Jason Schwartzman, for the New York Fashion Week show, which was themed around darkness and survival.
On a smoke-filled, pebble-strewn catwalk, models showcased a series of garments featuring cobweb-like leather, ribbon and lace detailing and crystal and feather adornments.
Speaking afterwards, Kirsten said, “They’re incredibly inspiring, and their clothes are always inspiring.”
Who ever knew that Kirsten Dunst was inspired by anything!
Perez Hilton Follows Lady Gaga Pantsless Trend
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows, Men, Tops
While we all dearly love Lady Gaga and her fashionable decisions, most of us aren’t willing to go there—and rightfully shouldn’t. Case in point: Perez Hilton.
Making a pantsless appearance at a DSquared2 party during New York Fashion Week, the gossip blogger flaunted his not-so-nice-looking legs in a Mickey Mouse… dress? The shoes didn’t help too much, either.
What have you done, Lady Gaga!

Designers, Celebs Flock to Coco Avant Chanel
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Women
Despite the fact that Karl Lagerfeld didn’t have a show lined up for New York Fashion Week, celebrities and designers alike got their Chanel fix with the New York premiere of the biopic Coco Avant Chanel.
The film’s stars, Audrey Tautou and Alessandro Nivola, joined director Anne Fontaine for a night away from the fashion week craze. Rachel Bilson, Ciara, Estelle, Adriana Lima, Jason Wu, and Candace Bergen were among the other guests in attendance.
Tautou felt a strong connection and conviction with her subject, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel: “I really don’t see any other designer who has had such a destiny as Chanel. A movie [about a different designer] shouldn’t be made.”
The film makes its way across the US in limited theaters next Friday, September 25.

Whether it was to sharpen her artistic eye or merely to relieve stress due to her new job at Ungaro, Lindsay Lohan showed up at G Star’s Spring/Summer ‘10 show for New York Fashion Week today. The now-blonde starlet was not alone—Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen was in toe.
What’s Lohan’s angle? Is she vying for a spot on the coveted Gossip Girl, or is she merely guiding Momsen down the partying pathway to career death?

Christian Siriano Unveils Spring Payless Collection
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Women, Footwear
Project Runway graduate Christian Siriano debuted his Spring/Summer ‘10 shoe line during New York Fashion Week yesterday, just as his initial collection hit Payless stores last week.
From what can only be described as “talon-heeled” pumps, dare I say that the line looks fiercer than his last collection? Then again, Payless will most likely water down the designs somewhat so as to avoid customer injuries (one of the models during the show almost fell on the runway).
I have to admit that my eyes are thoroughly enjoying the booty/Mary Jane hybrids and eccentric prints.

Mark Ronson Turns Posen Show Into Nightclub
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Women, Accessories, Dresses, Jewelry, Skirts
Zac Posen’s New York Fashion Week show was accompanied by music from Mark Ronson.
The fashion designer showed his Spring/Summer ‘10 collection at The Altman Building at 9am, after being forced to move his showcase from its usual evening slot. Undeterred by the early hour, Zac had the building transformed into a nightclub, complete with curving runway, low lights, and music from the renowned super-producer.
The clothes were created from an eye-popping pallet of pink, orange, lime, fuschia and cobalt, often mixed and matched to form clashing combinations. Off-the-shoulder dresses with pleated skirts, ‘60s-style macs, sweater dresses, and knitted maxi-dresses all made an appearance. Jackets with structured shoulders were also a big look, along with draped trousers which emphasized hips.
The finale, witnessed by celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, included a series of beautifully-made evening gowns in black, cobalt, and silver mesh, with some boasting sequins.
