We were front row at Calvin Klein today, so we’ll let the pictures do the talking. But before you start clicking, hear us out for just one moment, please: More exciting than cameos by Ryan Phillipe and Mr. Crawford was creative director Italo Zucchelli’s return to the palette he knows best: Black, brown and white.

Good Things at Bad Shows
Andy and Debb: The design team behind this label got their start by creating uniforms for McDonald’s in Korea. It’s hard not to let this muddy your judgment, but I went in with an open mind. At worst this show was boring and didn’t have much originality. Steff spotted a black fringe dress that was [...]

VPL’s Victoria Bartlett Puts Human Hair In Sweaters And Actually Makes It Look Good
Five Reasons to Love the Latest VPL by Victoria Bartlett Collection: 1. Bartlett does underwear inspired outwear, not lingerie-inspired outerwear. (We mean that it looks strong, not delicate.) 2. Olive and forest-colored scarves and sweaters confirmed that yes, green really is a big trend for fall. 3. Lizzy Fortunato and Jaclyn Mayer’s dream catcher necklaces [...]

Futurism at Michael Angel
There was a lot going on at the Michael Angel show, good, bad, and terrifying. Overall the vibe was futuristic with supernova-like prints and skin tight dresses. The Good: The laminated lace! It looked tough and beautiful simultaneously. The slinky printed jersey dresses. The various peplum dresses and jackets. The plum lace up shoes. The [...]

Simon Spurr’s Spiffy New Look
Simon Spurr debuted an eponymous spin-off collection alongside his fall line for SPURR today at the Altman Building, showing us almost 40 looks in total. It was the designer’s first fashion week appearance since Tommy Fazio–former men’s fashion director for Neiman’s and Bergdorf’s–took the reins as company president in October 2009. Anna’s presence confirmed that [...]

The Karen Walker show is always a delight. Settled in the cozy Altman Building, far from the hustle and bustle of Milk or Bryant Park, it’s a chilled-out, fun, dare I say groovy experience. After jumping backstage to sneak a peek at the hair and make-up (voluminous ponytails and red lips!) and catch up with Nylon‘s–née [...]

Herve Leger’s Max Azria gifted Godiva chocolates to his front row Valentines. There were young TV starlets like Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr in a sexy black number, seated next to a coiffed Sophia Bush in a short, sparkly Leger cocktail dress. The photogs went crazy for Tinsley, who flipped her blond locks and posed in [...]

CFDA winner Scott Sternberg was a filmmaker before he was a designer. You can tell by his fashion week presentations, which look like a mini-movie set season-upon-season. This year, the LA-based designer’s scene moved from the classroom–with desks and vintage typewriters galore–to the parking lot–where models reclined on a vintage Mercedes–to the deep woods, where [...]

While United Bamboo and Peter Som have uniquely different audiences–the former courts Brooklyn’s arty set, while the latter appeals to Upper East Side ice blonds–both labels did yesterday what isn’t always the most important thing in high fashion: They made pretty clothes. At Bamboo, the look was very 1940s, with lots of bows and high-waisted [...]

Scene: Saturday night. Alice+Olivia at the Gansevoort’s Provocateur. Leafy trees everywhere, and swings covered with sheepskin and models–more spring than fall. Seen: Kellys Rutherford, Osbourne, and Killoren-Bensimon. The latter wearing a short pink sequined dress with a matching pink microphone for Us Weekly. Also, Mena Suvari, Matthew Settle (aka Rufus Humphrey), SNL’s Fred Armisen and Elisabeth Moss, [...]

On Joseph Altuzarra
Lauren: I heard Altuzarra was eh. Britt: What?! No. It was amazing. Lauren: But someone said it was sub-par. And I heard someone else say the last four looks could have been in Heart Truth. Britt: They were red, yes. And they were velvet. (Have I told you I hate velvet?) But somehow it worked. [...]

Alexander Wang Takes Wall Street Seriously
Someone said of Alexander Wang, “Yikes when compared to his last collection, but leaps and bounds better than when he made t-shirts.” I just didn’t like it. I don’t love velvet, but I also don’t love pinstripe bra tops with low slung slacks and bits of black lace, and I hate chenille. It got off [...]
