Kim Kardashian admits her ill-fitting yellow jacket was a major fashion faux pas–but let’s get real, there’s no way color-hating Kanye even approved of that disastah in the first place. {HuffPo}

A Look Back at Gossip Girl‘s Finest Fashion Moments

A Look Back at Gossip Girl‘s Finest Fashion Moments

by

It’s official: The series finale of Gossip Girl is a mere eleven episodes away. While many a cynic may argue that the show actually ended sometime during the second season, for us die-hard Upper East Side wannabes, this news is harder hitting than a Nairtini to the head.

Of course, what we’ll miss most of all is the fashion. Gossip Girl has been on top of the fashion game since its first “XOXO” way back in early 2007, and as the series progressed, the characters’ signature styles arguably surpassed the plot development in terms of critical praise.

Between Blair’s preppy headbands, Chuck’s dandy suits, and Serena’s gravity-defying cleavage, the influence the kids of Constance have had on street style and fashion spreads alike is undeniable. So, as a tearful ode to our favorite CW soap, here’s a look back at some of the style stand-outs that have made the last five years of impossible-to-follow plot lines a little more bearable.

Last Night’s Party: Fashion Week Comes to a Bizarre Close With Guns N’ Roses, Justin Timberlake, Sienna Miller and More

Never saw this one coming but it really happened: Axl Rose and his recreated Guns N’ Roses sounded the closing bell of New York Fashion Week. Needless to say, the hodgepodge of ridiculousness that ensued surpassed all of our prior expectations, and it’s worth noting that the original bar was set rather high. Though when Read more →

Marchesa Fall 2012: Coming to a Red Carpet (and Taylor Momsen Video) Near You

Marchesa Fall 2012: Coming to a Red Carpet (and Taylor Momsen Video) Near You

by

It doesn’t really get any more glamorous than Marchesa‘s Fall 2012 show.

Set at the Plaza Hotel, guests first had to make their way through the clump of paparazzi waiting on the red carpet for a peek at Taylor Momsen, Stacy Keibler and Olivia Palermo. It felt more like an A-list awards show than a fashion show–which makes sense since we’re betting more than a few of Marchesa’s gorgeous and dramatic gowns will make their way onto the red carpet soon.

Once everyone was seated in the gold dinner chairs in one of the Plaza’s most luxurious event spaces, the show began. Models entered through a gold-and-mirrored doorway, helped down the small set of steps by a pair of dapper gentlemen, like debutantes from an era passed.

Gossip Girl-Inspired Clothing Line to Hit Stores This Fall

Gossip Girl-Inspired Clothing Line to Hit Stores This Fall

by

Well, this is about five years late: The CW is finally cashing in on Gossip Girl‘s fashion cred with a clothing line inspired by the show, produced in partnership with LA-based contemporary label Romeo & Juliet Couture, WWD, is reporting.

The collection will include embellished tops, bottoms, novelty sweaters, outerwear and draped chiffon dresses with touches of leather, pleats and prints–all of it inspired by one of the characters on the salacious show. So we’re guessing there’ll be a lot of bows (Blair), plunging necklines (Serena) and “funky” colorful separates (Vanessa). Let’s just hope they don’t take inspiration form Taylor Momsen‘s written-off character Jenny, who was a fan of sporting pink tutus from time to time.

The line will retail for $80-$200 and will be sold in stores like Kitson, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue for fall, which is actually kind of high-end for a line inspired by a teens’ show (and past it’s prime, no less).

Taylor Momsen Quits Acting, Will Continue to Perform Pants-less in Band
Gratuitous Taylor Momsen Post of the Day

Taylor Momsen Quits Acting, Will Continue to Perform Pants-less in Band

by

The world really is coming to an end. Between the economy tanking and London burning we have more sad news to report: Taylor Momsen has quit acting.

The 18-year-old told Elle in an interview, “I quit acting, actually. I quit Gossip Girl and now tour and am in a band and that’s pretty much all I want to do. Hopefully I’ll be able to only do that for the rest of my life.”

Now I know for many of you this comes as a shock, what with all the acting Taylor‘s been doing lately–and all the rumors flying that Gossip Girl cancelled their contract with her–but be strong.

In Honor of Tonight’s Season Premiere of Project Runway, Here Are Tim Gunn’s Ten Best Quotes

by

We will admit it: we still love Project Runway. From Heidi’s short skirts and occasional whacked-out hairstyles to the ever-entertaining Michael Kors, it sucks us in every season (even though we pretend to be too cool for it.) But the main reason we keep coming back? Tim Gunn. We can listen to that man and his spectacular vocabulary forever. We think he is a nice person generally, but he can definitely have a sharp tongue and often has no filter when he speaks. We support this wholeheartedly.

To mark the beginning of Project Runway‘s ninth season, we bring you a round-up of Tim‘s best quotes ever, in no particular order (And no, we did not include, “Make it work.”)

The Fate of Galliano’s Perfume (Plus Fragrance News from Beyonce, Heidi Klum, and Mariah Carey)

by

It’s a very juicy day for fragrance today. From Galliano to Mariah Carey, everyone has some scent news to report.

Will Galliano’s Perfume Survive?: First up, it seems that Galliano’s fragrance, whose sales took a nosedive after the scandal hit this past winter, is rebounding. While Galliano’s second fragrance, Parlez-Moi d’Amour, launched in Europe last fall, the company has held off on its US launch, which was supposed to happen this spring. In obvious markets like Israel, WWD reports that the scent took a hit. Certain retailers in Germany and the UK were also reluctant to stock it. But now it seems that the industry has a short memory and retailers, who point to the quality of the fragrance and popularity with consumers, are willing to sell it again.

Lizzy Jagger Photographed for Playboy: The 27-year-old model is taking up mom Jerry Hall’s torch, er, bunny ears, and appears nearly-nude on the June cover. Will sister Georgia May of that enviable Hudson Jeans derriere follow in the family footsteps? {Vogue UK}

Taylor Momsen and Jessica Szohr to Leave Gossip Girl: Fans of the show may be sad, but can hardly feign surprise. Momsen has been a fractional presence this season, and Szohr’s Vanessa only shows up every couple episodes to aid other characters’ dramatics. Vanessa also let it drop on last week’s episode that she will be leaving to”‘study abroad”–TV code for “I’m leaving the show and this is the best way to slip that into the plot.” {JustJared}

Topshop to Open in Chicago: Windy City fans of the UK import will soon be graced with their very own location. The 35,000 square foot plan makes it just slightly larger than ours here in NYC, and will be located on the busy corner at 830 North Michigan Avenue. {WWD subscription required}

Kelly Osborne Replaces Taylor Momsen as the Face of Material Girl

by

After Taylor Momsen was dropped from IMG, it was no surprise to learn her reign as the face of Madonna and Lourdes’ Material Girl line for Macy’s was coming to an end. The homepage of the Material Girl website still says that they are “desperately seeking” a new Material Girl to be the face of the brand, and has been asking readers to write in who they think should be the next Material Girl since January 11.

But the search is over. Material Girl has just announced on their twitter and then on their blog that they’ve selected Kelly Osbourne as the new face of Material Girl for 2011. “We’ve had a long time crush on Kelly and featured her as one of our “cool peeps” over the summer,” the blog reads, “We are so thrilled.”

Apparently the crush is mutual. After being featured as one of Material Girl’s “cool peeps” last summer, Kelly responded by writing, “to be thought of as an inspiration in that way is brilliant… I hope little girls look up to Lourdes because she doesn’t dress too grown up and she always looks so stylish,” Grazia is reporting.

Osbourne is a great (read: safer) choice to be the face of Material Girl.

by

Cathy Horyn Laments a Dull Moment In Fashion: Horyn’s point here is that designers and photographers are using sexuality and gender crossovers to be shocking rather than push themselves creatively. She calls out restrictions placed on designers and publications by advertisers, as well as American society’s prudish hangups about sex. {NYT}

Dave Matthews Is The New Face Of John Varvatos: The campaign, shot by David Clinch, was inspired by Matthews’ love of vintage instruments and his fascination with carnies. {WWD subscription required}

More Details on the Royal Wedding Wear–Prince William’s That Is: In the latest royal wedding news, Prince William’s Italian tailor describes the groom-to-be’s royal marriage shirt as “classic yet innovative” and says it will feature a high wing collar and embellished button holes.

Taylor Momsen No Longer A Material Girl: We’re not surprised to hear that Lourdes and Madonna are “desperately seeking” a new face for their Material Girl clothing line. They are asking fans to decide which trendy young starlet should replace Momsen as spokesperson. Thoughts? Suggestions? {Styleite}
