2009 Fashion Week
Lindsay, Taylor and Jessica Spread Their Fashion Love
Jessica Alba, Taylor Momsen and Lindsay Lohan made up the starlet contingent out at Fashion Week events in NYC last night. Jessica shined in her sexy black dress at the Narciso Rodriguez show in Bryant Park while Lindsay and Taylor were matching blondes in the front row at G-Star's Hammerstein Ballroom presentation. Taylor's edgy look works well when she's rocking out on stage with her band, but on Gossip Girl Jenny Humphrey's already over her first rebellious phase.
Guess Who Designed the Fall Runway Look!
Even though it's hot out, I can't seem to keep my hands — or wallet — away from the Fall goodies in stores. Perhaps it's a consequence of those Fall glimpses. In the past two days, I purchased a semisheer black sweater, a thin dolman-sleeve cardi, and a nubby funnel neck scarf.
2010 Cruise: Chanel
Yesterday the fashion pack flew out to Venice where Karl Lagerfeld staged the Chanel Cruise show on the beach. Of course there was a reason for the Italian location as Karl was inspired by classic Venetian glamour of the '30s with rich Renaissance fabrics and Fortuny's prints. He commented on the location explaining, “Venice has a genuine dark and mysterious side to it that fascinated me.
Cutting Edge Designs From Japan Fashion Week
Japan, known for its fashion-forward thinking and avant garde designs, is a mecca for the fearless. It should come as no surprise that its Fall Fashion Week shouldn't be any different. So far, we've spotted a ton of talent on the runway ranging from rock star frocks from G.V.G.V.
Trend Alert: Sheer Bright Lips For Spring
Sometimes runway looks are really extreme, and don't always translate well into the mainstream — as evidenced by this hits and misses slideshow. Now that it is officially springtime, have you started to think about how you'll amp up your makeup bag, taking looks straight from the fashion shows as inspiration? Buh-bye to the black lip gloss trend that never really made it anyway, and hello brighter, sheerer shades.
Melbourne Fashion Week, A/W 2009: Alice McCall
Alice McCall is one of my favourite Australian designers. Her quirky yet feminine designs have already been a big hit at Topshop where she created a popular diffusion range. This weekend she showed off her Autumn designs down under as part of Melbourne Fashion Week.
Fab Flash: Fur Companies Fund Designers
You might have noticed an increased amount of fur on the catwalks last month as designers attempt to break fashion's biggest taboo. Well, it seems its appearance might not be as innocent as you think as an investigation by The Times discovered that some designers are being funded by major fur companies. Danish fur giants Saga Fur and Kopenhagen fur are involved in this scheme to encourage use of the animal fabric in catwalk collections in return for thousands of pounds of sponsorship.
Funky Fashions at LA Fashion Week
LA Fashion Week is a lot smaller than say New York or Paris, but don't be fooled by its diminutive size. We spotted some fabulous collections overflowing with cutting-edge design and artistry. From Grecian gowns to Rick Owens-inspired jackets, LA had lots.
Trend Alert: Orange Cheeks For Spring
When you imagine orange on the face you might cringe a little, thinking of unflattering Oompa-Loompa-like effects. But you might be surprised that orange blush can give a flattering sun-kissed look that's fresh, not gaudy. Seeing that many designers featured the shade during 2009 Spring New York Fashion Week, I predicted that orange blush would be a trend during the upcoming warmer months.
Paris Fashion Week, A/W 2009: Miu Miu
Paris Fashion Week closed with a bang on Thursday with presentations by Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu. The younger sister of Prada seemed to come of age this season with an exotic themed collection. There was a very glamorous feel to the Autumn line with sleek silhouettes, pencil skirts and sparkly embellishment.
