Did that model fall down? Is that the deal?

PS Ophelia killed herself over a MAN. Is that the message we're supposed to get, O Designers?

Those Calvin Klein looks are making me think of Brave New World, and not in a good way.

Let me repeat myself: What have I learned from Fashion week? Sheer black tights are all I need and Calvin Klein is dressing all their models in the exact same thing. The end. SO BORED.

fucking christ. at first i thought, from that intro pic of her on the ground, that she was posing, and crawling up the runway. what a terrifying dress, face, woman. vampire. thing.

diddy. yummy.

Love that Karen Elson kept a smile on her face despite the fall.

I don't know what the hell happened to Zac Posen. He's been doing craptacular designs lately.

I love Karen Elson though, I was so psyched to see her in the runway!

I would fall down so diddy, excuse me, sean combs, would help me up. that'd be a great story!

...espeically because when i fall people just laugh.

I have an insane love of crinolines. I don't even care if these outfits are crazy, I need more crinolines in my life.

I love that Diddy was a gentleman and stood up to help, instead of her being tossed aside like the proverbial fashion roadkill.

is that caroline t and p diddy?

@blondegrlz:

Don't we all?! :)

@katatwork: very, very Interview-esque. Correct.

@blondegrlz: my favorite pageant dress was a big poofy princess dress with a full crinoline skirt- we called it the cupcake dress because when i squatted down it poofed up all around me and i felt like one of those cupcake dolls that would change from cupcake to fabulously dressed girl. mmm... princess dresses.

I am completely confused by the hairy dress in Blass's collection, and yet I find it strangely, utterly compelling. The whole collection is just yum, and that pantsuit is totally bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, nevah nevah let you forget you're a man, 'cause ahm a WOMAN!

(Sorry, had a seventies moment there.)

Okay, not completely on topic, but I just wanna say, I LOVE fashion week, if only for the entertainment value of getting high and watching Channel 25 (NYCTV?) alll niiiight lonnnng, baby. Seriously, look in to it.

I'm a total maximalist too. That's why, despite being generally against wedding fever, I was totally psyched about being able to wear a big, puffy ballgown. I am a thrifty, eco-friendly, non-profiteer, and I am always fighting the urge to overdress.

@leMaldeTete: hear hear! here here! heeer heeer!

Um... obvy as my avatar is the fabulous Mr. Bowie circa 1977, any fashions that cause me to channel him are a-ok by me. Love.

Also, look at Caroline's redurk shoes. I can only assume that Karen was wearing a similar pair, and therefore, it is no wonder that she fell. Who the hell makes people walk in those things (I'm looking at you, Zac Posen)??!

@dosido: As a teen, bringing bacon home, frying, and manhood reminders seemed to fab. Sigh. It's actually a lot of work. En-Jo-Leeee!

@katastic: The drama nerd in me (okay, that's a lie - the drama nerd that *is* me) requires me to point out that Ophelia didn't necessarily kill herself over a man. It's debatable whether she even "killed herself" or just fell in the water and died. She did, however, go insane over a man. But he killed her dad, so I don't blame her.

Also, if there's a look that you can describe with the word "Ophelia," chances are I'm going to at least get a kick out of it.

Also also, David Bowie is welcome in my channel anytime.

@Kataroo_Kangaroo @treecut: My wedding dress had a crinoline. I have tons of pictures of me sitting in the middle of my dress like I'm floating on a cloud. It was fabulous and super princessy. And I can say that now since this isn't a wedding thread.

I got married in an a-line because I'm not coordinated enough to handle a full length crinoline in and out of cars after a bottle of champagne :-(

The whole floating on a cloud thing sounds nice.

Good post guys! I <3 Zac Posen. That is all!

It's official: all I want to do in life is wear that grey-blue Zac Posen skinny suit every day.

I know what I'll dream about tonight: the grey/red Zac Posen dress and/or the red/bedazzled Reem Acra dress.

Love the Zac clothes, but the mouseketeer ears are stupid.

I can haz Derek Lam and Reem Acra?

Aww poor Karen! Good to see she totally didn't give a shit and laughed it off, though.

Also, surprised David Bowie didn't tell Zac Posen to incorporate eye patches.

I can't belive Diddy broke the forth wall! Good for him.

@leMaldeTete: I do this but with cocktails instead of weed.

Christ, that last girl in the Klein collection in the black jumper dress thing looks like she'd snap in half in a strong wind. Her arms look like toothpicks and her neck and head look glued on. It's creeping me the fuck out. Can I give her a few sammiches??

@hatepaperdoll: Yeah, he earned a few points in my book.

And, as I am a minimalist, I loooooved everything at Calvin Klein (and Bill Blass, but that's for when I'm older). It just reminded me of how sad I've been for the last week because I went to the CK 70% off sale and there wasn't anything left in my size. Because I totally would have worn that extra-long cardigan today. Or the sequinned tank dress.

That's what Ms. Elson gets for marrying my man! Yes, Jack While will be mine, someday...

This has made me like P Diddy a little, to my dismay--but seriously, that whole "sit there impassively as a model breaks her ankle" thing creeps me out; good for him for being a good fashion citizen.

@katastic: I don't know. I think Ophelia killed herself because she was crazy, and she was crazy because her dad used her for all of his hairbrained schemes. But that's just my opinion. I fucking hate Polonius.

@katastic: But yeah, she's deff not a role model.
