Models Just Wanna Have Fun
Don't say models don't know how to fun, they can stick out their tongues with the best of us! Here's some charming backstage photos from Nicole Miller's fashion week show. [via photographer Lauren Naefe.]
Nicole Miller, For The Black-On-Black Former Goth In You
Nicole Miller's fall 2013 runway presentation at this year's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York answered the time-honored question: What's a one-time Hot Topic-clad 15-year-old to wear now that she's all grown up? Vintage-inspired boxy menswear in shades of black and plaid, obviously. Plus some granny brocade and…
A Heavily Photoshopped Khloe Kardashian Does Most Random, Bondage-y, Fashion Cover Ever
- Khloe Kardashian, her late, lamented red hair, and a mask apparently made of plastic packing straps and a packet of studs from the nearest Michaels star on the cover of NY skate shop Yellow Rat Bastard's in-store mag, YRB. [Racked]
In Defense of Cathy Horyn
Cathy Horyn is not sorry for what she wrote about Snooki. Nor does she feel particularly bad for Tommy Hilfiger, Alexander Wang, Giorgio Armani, or any of the other people whose collections and/or fashion sense she has publicly critiqued.
Nicole Miller Goes With The Flow
Nicole Miller's Spring 2011 collection is a dreamy mix of sheers and straps, blending flowing fabrics with sharp lines to create a pretty, layered look with a bit of an edge.
The Dress Code Was Confusing At The Tribeca Ball
I'd always associated the word "ball" with, y'know, gowns. But what do I know? At the 2010 Tribeca Ball, held at the NY Academy of Art, Parker Posey and Jennifer Connolly and everybody else looked, instead, ready for rooftop cocktails.
Fewer Models Of Color Work New York's Fashion Runways
After tracking diversity on the runways for several seasons, we took off last September because we thought the fashion industry was finally coming to its senses. Models of color were getting booked! How disappointing, then, to tally this season's numbers.
Amy Winehouse Gets Own Inspires Someone Else's Clothing Line
- Funny, this picture of Amy Winehouse looking "healthy and stylish" still looks off. British label PPQ is bringing the troubled singer's long-rumored fashion line to fruition — if you count PPQ "providing all materials and doing the design," as anything like having your own collection. [This is London]
Runway's In, Britney's Glam, And Topshop, Topshop, Topshop!!!!
- The good news: Runway is safe. The bad news: yup, it's on Lifetime. [AdAge]
- Britney Spears cuts a revealing figure in her new Candie's ad. Candie's: the last refuge of a scoundrel. [NYDN]
Dear David: Everyone Knows You Can't Work with More Than One Rapper!
- Sean Combs wants to work on a fashion line with David Beckham. But he can't. Because Becks is already working on a sneaker line with Snoop Dogg! [Fashionista]
- Diddy also harasses mom-and-pop cufflink site "Cuff Daddy" for name infringement. Busy man! [TMZ]
- Memories of fashion icon YSL. [NY Times]
- Console yourself by…
Uma & Eva Look Great Even Though Their Movie Looks Awful
In the new film The Life Before Her Eyes, Uma Thurman, left, plays a woman who, as a child, witnessed a "Columbine-like" event which fucked her up for life. But want to know what's really fucked up? The fact Evan Rachel Wood plays Thurman's character's younger self. To quote Cher Horowitz: As if. Susan Sarandon's…
LOLSocialites: Money Just Can't Buy Taste
One of the reasons New York is really funny — and annoying — is because the city has "socialites": Self-important, wealthy women with ridiculous names (Byrdie Bell, Tinsley Mortimer, Susan Shin, Carrie Cloud, Valesca Guerrand-Hermes) who like to go to parties where they buy "tables" so that they can wear expensive…
Even Fashionistas Rock The Vote
While it might be easy enough to assume that the fashion industry has too much on its mind today — what with the opening of the new Gucci flagship on 5th Avenue and the fashion shows of Badgley Mischka, Rodarte, J. Mendel, Matthew Williamson, Behnaz Sarafpour, Tory Burch, and Narcisco Rodriguez — the truth is that…
Heidi Klum Makes It Work; Designs For Jordache Jeans
- The facts speak for themselves: Heidi Klum is designing a capsule collection for Jordache, for which she has been modeling over the past year. Think she'll offer hair extensions to cover nipples as well? [WWD, sub req'd]
- Kathy Hilton just released her own perfume. It's called "My Secret." We don't really want to think…
This Fall, We'll All Be Flappers On Acid In French Boarding Schools
New York Fashion Week kicked off on Friday at the tents in Bryant Park, and in the ensuing three days, plenty of big-name designers have given us their vision of what women can look forward to, sartorially that is, once winter passes, summer swelters, and the chill sets in again. Designers as disparate as Diane von…
