CFDA Awards Hit New York City In High Style

Sadie Stein — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 10:30:00 EDT

The CFDA Awards have become fashion's biggest night. Which means the clothes are better, badder, and uglier than anything you can possibly imagine. Obviously, to mark last night's 2009 Lincoln-Center-extravaganza, we needed a super-sized GBU do do it justice! More »

Imagine how pissed ALT would have been if Simon commented on his floor-length velvet cape. • Developers say "The Audrey" a "kitchen computer for women" flopped because of the economy, but we think its failure had more to do with the fact that women don't need "lady computers." • International pop sensation George Michael announces his "final two" big concerts, and he might retire from touring all together! • Is there an ice cream connection between female pop stars and mental breakdowns? • OMG you guyzzz, Miley and Mandy finally released their comeback video to AC/DC dance crew! And it features all of the hit stars of the late '90s? • Sorry: HPV in the throat contracted through oral sex can cause throat cancer more easily than tobacco or alcohol. • A NY state rep pushes for foreign models to be reclassified to a different visa category for entertainers and athletes. • The girls at Fashion Meets Finance disappoint people with brains.

One Last Lesson From Last Night's CFDA Awards: You Should Never, Ever Bedazzle Your Boobs

Jennifer — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 17:45:47 EDT

This should have been DVF's night to shine: She's the president of the CFDA, after all! And we suppose she did shine, in a way. The wrong way, that is. Working a color palette that was reminiscent of an acid-tripping carton of sherbet (go with us on this one!) and then throwing big ol' stones all over her breasts, von Furstenberg just isn't doing herself any favors, and is the only CFDA "Uglie" we could find from last night's sartorial soiree. If this is what happens when DVF veers outside of the safe world of the wrap dress, well then we think she needs to stay inside under lock and key. More »

When We Grow Up, We Hope We Look Like Helena Christensen

Jennifer — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 17:05:02 EDT

She was always our favorite of the supermodels from the era of the supermodels. And now, at the age of 39, Helena Christensen is hotter than ever. And we don't mean "hot" as in "Isn't it nice that she's still buzzed about and people still want to take her picture and she has that little store in NYC's West Village." We mean "hot" as in "Yeah, we'd do her." More »

CFDA Awards: The Winners, Losers, And Marc Jacobs

Jennifer — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 13:58:54 EDT

As you probably know by now, "The Oscars of Fashion", also known as the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards, were held last night. What you may not know is that the CFDA ceremony is an extra-special event that the fashion industry's major players spend weeks and weeks obsessing over, only to arrive on awards night and find that no one wants to take their picture unless they happen to serendipitously find themselves next to an Olsen while walking the red carpet. Anyway, last night's awards featured wins and losses that inspired both shock and awe in our little fashion hearts. Our analysis of those in the winner's circle, after the jump. [Spoiler: Things might be over for Marc Jacobs!] More »
