I interviewed Gwen Stefani backstage before LAMB yesterday. I wanted to gush, and tell her that “Tragic Kingdom’s” one of the only albums I can listen to all the way through, and have been for fifteen years now (woah), but I controlled myself, maybe blushed a bit, and asked Fashion Week appropriate questions. Like, “You [...]

Lutz and Patmos Takes Flight
Who knew birds could be such great inspiration for a wearable FW collection? Tina Lutz and Marcia Patmos did their ornithology research by reading antique bird books and took inspiration from the colors of birds and the concept of wings. This meant that their FW10 collection was filled with dusty rose, grays of all shades, [...]

Between Cushnie and Jen Kao I got the bright idea to run up to Barneys for Olivier Theyskens’ book launch. Kate and I got to Barneys early and killed time drooling over PS1s until Celine Dion walked in (as if yesterday could have gotten any weirder). We swept through the 4th floor, stopped in our [...]

Designers Steven Cox and Daniel Silver sent a subdued but stunning collection down the runway for Duckie Brown, a label admired (and sometimes jeered) for its avant-garde tendencies. Gone are the rubber trenches and hyper-extended turtlenecks of last year; in their place, masculine wool melton blazers, barracuda jackets and long officer overcoats in solid colors we [...]

Rachel Comey’s Happy Winter
Fall/Winter shows can get a bit drab after you’ve seen your hundredth black coat walk a runway, but Rachel Comey does not suffer one bit from seasonal gloom.

Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs’ young label Cushnie et Ochs has certainly evolved. While the looks at yesterday’s show were still heavily body-con, it was refreshing to see separates thrown in with a very different and larger silhouette. It was these boxier outerwear pieces that were most appealing, specifically a stone colored knit jacket with [...]

Getting dressed for the first day of New York Fashion Week would’ve been ten times easier if we’d already had John Patrick’s Organic collection in our closet. We loved the tailored pink hotpants, and the fitted coats, and the leather t-shirt dresses. We’ve already attempted the retro hair and coveted the equally vintage color palette. [...]

1. How is this THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE EVER if it just consists of PR judges promoting themselves? Shouldn’t the biggest challenge involve something that would take a little more effort to orchestrate? Like a collaboration with a non-PR related designer/publication/model? 2. Who knew there were so many rules for picking a cover outfit? (And we’re [...]
