L-R: Rachel Roy, Timo Weiland, Kate Ermilio
Click over to our fashion week page to catch reviews of Timo Weiland‘s New York-artist-on-a-surf-trip collection, Rachel Roy‘s masculine/feminine vibe (complete with a Kim Kardashian sighting), and Katie Ermilio‘s pretty perfection.
The clothes at Rachel Roy’s Spring 2012 presentation were strong and beautiful, but it was almost difficult to focus on the collection as tons of A-listers—including the likes of Molly Sims, Margherita Missoni, Veronica Webb, and longtime friend Kim Kardashian—packed the outdoor balcony at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall to support their stylish pal. “She just loves what she does and I love that about her,” Kardashian told us. “We have so many fun dinners where we talk about clothes all day long, and she just knows how to dress a woman, you know?” Yes, we do, and Kim’s skin-tight, muted khaki knit dress was a perfect example of that.

There is something about Katie Ermilio’s clothes that we can’t help but love. They’re somehow the perfect balance of minimalism, glamour, girlyness and sophistication. Last night, in a gallery space on Central Park West, she showed an ultra-feminine spring collection of perfectly tailored cocktail attire, which she gave us a little preview of on her Fashionista Mad Libs a couple days ago.
The colors were lovely and made the clothes pop that much more. A pair of mint green trousers instantly caught my eye as I walked in, as did an insanely chic pastel pink ankle-length pencil dress with a dramatic bow at the bottom. There were many cool little details like that–especially on the backs of dresses, an area that not all designers pay attention to.

The Carolina Herrera show got a lot of attention yesterday because of a random Nicki Minaj sighting and subsequent hilarious pictures that surfaced of her and Anna Wintour as seat mates. But there was another show going on, let’s not forget. Carolina Herrera worked her usual ladylike sophistication with a few twists thrown in for spring. (And I wore a signature white button down a la Herrera in her honor.)
All shades of garden green were woven into plaid and adorable sparrow prints on dresses and separates. Decidedly more graphic than her usual outings, with flourishes of deco and modern art, it was well suited to her buttoned-up gallery hopping clientele that keep up with the times by speaking highly of Koons while secretly preferring Winterhalter.

Last night punky pop singer Avril Lavigne showed her Abbey Dawn collection of “Music is My BF” tees, “Hell Yeah” wedge booties, and “Heartcore” dresses at the Metropolitan Pavilion as part of Style 360′s collection of shows during New York fashion week.
But the show wasn’t about the mall-rat-ready clothes. It was about the Kardashian’s. Kylie Jenner, 14, one of the youngest members of the Kardashian crew walked in the show (despite the CFDA’s guidelines suggesting models be at least 16), and most of her famous family came out to support her. Kourtney, Kim, and Kim’s new husband Kris Humphries were all there. So was Kylie’ half-brother Brody Jenner, who also happens to date the “designer.” (I guess music isn’t Avril’s BF?).
Once the paparazzi scrum receded and the flashbulbs stopped popping, the Kardashian’s cheered their sister on like any normal family as she walked the runway. They screamed, took photos, and when she closed the show, threw a bouquet at her. And when the show was over, their security swooped in, and the family was escorted backstage, trailed by paparazzi–a not-normal family once again.
Check out more photos of Kylie on the catwalk and her famous family.

Well, we could have seen this coming: The excitement around the 400-piece Missoni for Target collection–and the millions of eager shoppers–have crashed the retailer’s website.
At 6:04 am, Target tweeted that the online exclusives were now available for purchase on their site; by 6:46 am, the entire collection was up on their site–But a mere hour later, tweeters were reporting issues with the site, and by 10:00 am the retailer began responding to complaints and acknowledged the site was down. At 10:30 am, the retailer confirmed that “the overwhelming demand for #MissoniforTarget ended up taking our site down.”

This latest batch of shows are perfect for your feminine side. Go to our Fashion Week page to read the full reviews from DKNY, who served up some piping hot patriotism, Tracy Reese, who has the girly-girl totally covered with flirty romantic frocks, and Lela Rose, who paid homage to Sin City’s neon signage.
It’s really happening. Kanye West will show a spring 2012 womenswear collection in Paris at 9:30pm on October 1, directly after Jean Paul Gauliter and Loewe, on a runway, Harper’s Bazaar Australia reports. (They have a bit of an inside source: HB Australia fashion editor Christine Centenera (who is also a freelance stylist) had reportedly been traveling to Paris twice monthly and consulting West on his clothing line since March.)
We were getting more inclined to believe the rumors that a Kanye West fashion show was set to take place in Paris. One indicator has been the fact that he’s been totally absent from the New York shows.
The rumors started in June, got a little confusing as to where West would show, and then became a bit more firm via a confident-sounding tweet from Models.com’s Wayne Sterling last week: ”Hiss hiss. Which ultra-power stylist is now playing in Kayne’s [sic] camp for his blue chip Paris showing. And it IS a Paris showing kids!”
That’s the other component people keep buzzing about: who exactly is helping Kanye, who has no design training or real experience (unless you count those scarves for M/M), pull this off?

Marc by Marc Jacobs’ SS12 show felt especially poignant yesterday. As the crowd built up inside the Lexington Armory, whispers about Dior could be heard in every section and every row. The minimal set of a plain white runway and backdrop were especially stark compared to Marc’s famously elaborate sets and antics. From 7:30 to 8pm all guests were ushered in and seated, without any ruckus occurring when Elle Fanning, Carine Roitfeld, and Robert Duffy took their seats in the front row. Everyone and everything was quite calm. It was as though everyone knew that come this time next season, Marc Jacobs would be married to his deadlines at Dior, and thus less likely to be as attached design-wise and presentation-wise to MxMJ’s flounced peplums and plastic visors.

Timo Weiland and Alan Eckstein are those hot young designers that everyone is falling in love with. At this point, they’re starting to amass a cult following–everywhere I looked at the designers’ first-ever runway show Sunday night, I saw one of Timo and Alan‘s unmistakeable prints–on ladies from all walks of life, from Timo’s mom to upper east side socialites to cool kids like Annabelle Dexter-Jones.
In addition to girls about town, Timo and Alan have also been garnering respect from fashion industry heavyweights. They were recently chosen to participate in the exclusive CFDA Fashion Incubator program and CFDA CEO Steven Kolb was sitting in the front row, along with major editors and stylists and even Bill Cunningham.
There’s a lot of excitement surrounding Timo and Alan and that showed in the clothes, which truly came alive on the runway.

Lela Rose’s spring collection featured pieces that are a bit bolder than her usual ladylike frocks, in a good way. The designer drew inspiration from sin city’s Neon Museum—also known as the Neon Graveyard—a spot that houses unrestored, neon signs that used to dot Coney Island and Las Vegas. “The inspiration is definitely a different vibe and feel,” the designer told us backstage. “We did all of these faded neon colors which I think is definitely a departure of what we normally do with the color palette.”
Rose was a little more playful this season, and matched bright mosaic patterns aptly named “carnival prints” with neon yellow and orange lace knits. Of course, she offered plenty of shifts and sheaths, but this time around they were punched up with bright floral patterns and deep orange and yellow hues that recalled a sunset. The structured silhouettes mixed with wilder prints created a balanced and polished looked for day or night. As for the shoes, Rose paired up with Payless again to offer fabulous and wallet friendly footwear. We spotted plenty of vibrant wedges that will be sure to update any spring wardrobe.
