Fashion Show: Badgley Mischka
Suddenly, Disney Bridal Doesn't Look So Bad
The latest season of bridal shows began on Friday, and already we are mildly concerned with what we see. While really big name Badgley Mischka is, um, one of the really biggest names in this market, I found the whole collection to be 1) ugly 2) dated and 3) kitschy. Seriously, the Disney bridal dresses looked better…
Fashion Show
Mark Badgley and James Mischka started their eponymous line in 1988, and they've been together (personally and professionally) ever since. Badgley Mischka designs are known for being unapologetically girly, glamorous, red-carpet friendly and plain-old pretty. Not every Fall 2008 look this morning was a winner, but if…
The (Boozy) Bride Wore White: Planning Jenna Bush's Wedding
So, Jenna Bush is getting married this spring (which is a totally gross, opportunistic way to distract the American public from the war, btw) and her mama, Laura, has commissioned the biggest names in American fashion to submit sketches for her darling daughter's big day. (Think Jenna will get sauced at the…
Karl Lagerfeld: Now Pocket Sized
- Karl Lagerfeld has designed a lead figurine of himself, to be sold as a limited edition (1,000 units only) for $300 at Paris boutique Colette. Perfect for teaching etiquette, nutrition, and brand-expansion strategy to your Homies! [WWD, 3rd item]
- Agyness Deyn has replaced Drew Barrymore as the face of English designer…
Bridesmaids Dresses Will Always Be Bad
Though most don't know costume designer Catherine Thomas by name, they are no doubt familiar some of the iconographic cinematic looks she has created (Uma Thurman's yellow leather jumpsuit in Kill Bill; Meryl Streep's Little House-goes-Dolly Parton garb in A Prairie Home Companion). But now Thomas created a number of…
Nothing Comes Between Kate Bosworth And Her Calvins
- Kate Bosworth is the new face of Calvin Klein jeans. Looks good enough to make us forget another girl named Kate who once was the face of CK jeans. [Vogue UK]
- In case you forgot, here's what Brooke Shields looked like in her Calvins. [Sassybella])
- With nary a girl to dress for red carpet season, Badgley Mischka has…
Vivienne Westwood: Yup, Still Nuts
- Designer Vivienne Westwood is switching party allegiances from the (liberal) Labour to the (conservative) Tory, and will even be the keynote speaker at her new political party's Christmas party. Warns Westwood: "I'm going to take the opportunity to put them right on a few things. They're not going to get what they…
Badgley Mischka just showed its bridal line. And frankly, it was a little meh! At least BM ready-to-wear, though monotonous, has, well, color. But the old-school white frocks on display on the latest BM runway weren't anything millions of soon-to-be-marrieds haven't seen in cheap bridal mags over the past decade.…
Horrible Hagyness (Finally) Gets Her Own Clothing Line
- The inevitable happened and TopShop gave model Agyness Deyn her own clothing line, because she dresses totally '80s and that is so edgy! [Vogue UK]
- Designer Yves Saint Laurent is very sick. Pray for him. [NY Post]
- No one can pronounce Badgley Mischka correctly, which would give us pause about the future of American…
Christina Ricci Not Aware Of The Difference Between A Suitcase And An Evening Gown
- Christina Ricci, the face of the re-launched Samsonite Fashionaire collection, gave some bullshit answer at the line's launch party about how fashion is art, blah blah blah. At this point we would like to remind Christina that she's not shilling fashion. She's shilling luggage. [Vogue UK]
- In the words of Yogurt from …
Teri Hatcher: The Annoying New Face Of Badgley Mischka
- Teri Hatcher replaces the Olsens as the chief endorser of scary-big overwrought dresses. Can she go back to selling phone service or whatever? She was so convincing in that role. [WWD, sub req'd]
- Siouxsie Sioux is "collaborating" (so sick of this word) on a limited edition T-shirt line. With Urban Outfitters.…
