The Streets: Through Garance Dore’s Eyes
Feb 18.11 / Lindsay
Fashion Week has always been full of the hyper-professional and hyper-ambitious, most of whom have worked their asses off to get tickets to their favorite show. In the last decade, with the rise of blogging, digital media and the creativity that resulted – this dynamic has changed. Now everyone from the mid-western girl who’s read [...]
L’Wren Scott
Feb 17.11 / Jennifer Nicole
I’ve had a day or so away from fashion week, being dumb and migrainey, and the first collection I saw this afternoon was lackluster. (Sorry, Isaac Mizrahi, but the concept…and the poodles…didn’t make up for it what I consider a “meh” line.) But then – then! – I saw L’Wren Scott’s Fall 2011 Ready to [...]
Alice + Olivia: The Hair
Feb 17.11 / Jennifer Nicole
As I was looking through the Fall 2011 line for Alice + Olivia, there’s one thing I noticed but didn’t mention: the hair. Each model had her hair styled by the Sebastian hair team, headed by lead stylist Thomas Dunkin, and they all received a relaxed, sometimes messy twist on the classic chignon. We were [...]
Marc Jacobs’ Unique Layering
Feb 15.11 / Lindsay
Marc Jacobs sent layers and layers of dots down the runway – also layers and layers of… socks? As for the shoes – I can’t believe I love Marc Jacobs shoes. Never once have I liked MJ shoes. He’s funky, and sometimes a little funky for me. But these? I think I spied some velvet [...]
Quick Look: The Row
Feb 15.11 / Lindsay
Classic tailoring, a dusty color palette, and a whole lot of mystery to be had at The Row’s presentation. While I didn’t love all of it… Some looks were quite captivating. It was all about classic glamour – perfect tailoring included. The coats were absolutely wonderful! I have a soft spot for leopard dusters, as [...]
Alice + Olivia: Separate Eccentricities
Feb 15.11 / Jennifer Nicole
The twenties were in full roaring fashion during the presentation of Alice + Olivia’s Fall 2011 collection. As much as I love the twenties – in fact, I’m a sucker for them – I couldn’t help but cringe at some of the more…direct interpretations, of both the roaring twenties and the colorful, suede-boot-filled seventies. (Click [...]
Zero + Maria Cornejo Get Bookish
Feb 14.11 / Lindsay
I love it when things work out in ways you never would expect. Sometimes, you think that making a print of a bookshelf would be so cool! Then you think… Wow, no. That would look ridiculous. How could that possibly work? So you shelf your brilliant idea, until Zero + Maria Cornejo have the same [...]
Erin Fetherston: In Sheep’s Clothing
Feb 14.11 / Lindsay
I’m never shocked my Erin Fetherston’s approach to her collections. Ethereal? Check. Airy? Check. Proper? Oh, yes. Mischievous? Oh, hell yeah. This isn’t actually Erin Fetherston. This is Erin’s new line appropriately named Erin. After stepping down as the CD of Juicy Couture, she started up this new, lower priced line to take the next [...]
Cynthia Steffe: Shaun Kearney’s Three Bears
Feb 14.11 / Jennifer Nicole
In my (admittedly limited) experience, there are three sides to every designer’s collection: the looks you love, the looks you hate, and the looks that left you bored out of your skull. In viewing Sean Kearney’s Fall 2011 collection for Cynthia Steffe, these three sides resembled the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears: while [...]
Bensoni: Nineties Nostalgia
Feb 14.11 / Jennifer Nicole
Sonia Yoon, one half of the design team behind Bensoni, is getting married in May, and when asked about her and Benjamin Channing Clyburn’s inspiration for their Fall 2011 line, they referenced nostalgia, and a passage into adulthood. Since both are still in their twenties, “nostalgia” meant the nineties. Being a nineties girl myself, I’ve [...]
