“The shoes are named after models — Lara, Hanne, Racquel — but the bags are named after TV show characters. We have the Brenda and Kelly [90210], the Dorothy shopper [The Golden Girls] and the Trudy [Miami Vice]. They’re all the shows that used to be on TV when I was growing up.” —Alexander Wang to W on his most excellent pop culture influences.

Someone besides Carine is majorly crushing on Chrisophe Decarnin’s designs for Balmain.
Mr. Azria paid tribute to the cult designer with peaked shoulder and slivers of sparkles on very rock star dresses. This was a much harder side of Herve Leger and the best of it belonged on the crowd that spends its nights partying in Paris, not the crowd sitting in the front row.
The Herve show always brings out an eceletic collection of television ‘starlets’. This year offered Sophia Bush, Michelle Trachtenberg, Lucy Liu, one of the new 90210 chicks, Joy Bryant and much to my Mad Men obsessive delight, a glowing January Jones.
They may not be the A-list, but they were a good group of girls to have around when taking a tumble on the runway. Not one, but two models spilled in their spiked platforms. They laughed, the crowd cheered and all was well in the land of commercial fashion.
As for the clothes? Lots and lots of sparkles, rough textures, bandaged dresses, of course, and cut-outs which are apparently the new sheer.
First girl to wear the one-shouldered disco ball get up gets a star in our book.
Apparently, 90210 is the zip that keeps on giving.
Because believe it or not, there’s not one, not two, but four separate nail polishes dedicated to the city of ostentatious wealth. Kind of ironic in these times of financial strife, no?
OPI’s three-piece 90210 collection is based, unfortunately, on the new craptastic CW show. Props to the brand for the idea, but where were you when the original and far superior show was a weekly ritual? I would have been all over a Brenda nail polish like, well, Brenda on Dylan.
Alas, the three polishes are themed on lackluster Annie, Silver and Naomi. Though unlike their namesakes, all three shades are versatile and complementary, with the crimson and shimmery purple at $8.50 each and available now.
Not to be outdone, Essie’s teamed up with the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitor’s Bureau to create Love, Beverly Hills xx. The shade, available this month, is a racy red (at left) with a golden shimmer courtesy of actual 24 karat pure gold. Of course.
So in case you were wondering (and we totally know you were), the official color of Beverly Hills isn’t black (as in AmEx or Lauren Conrad’s shade of choice) or platinum (as in wedding band) - it’s rich and shiny red.
—MEGAN MCINTYRE (our new weekly beauty columnist!)
When we heard British style icon Peaches Geldof married that guy who sings that song about Jimmy Choos, our first though was “Woah”.
Then we wondered what she’d do when she got here. She could just spend her days looking pretty until she’s as famous here as she is in London, but she’s kind of too cool for that. We thought she might get a reality show, pen a gossip column in the vein of Lydia Hearst, or maybe design a line for Urban. But we can’t believe we never guessed she’d be the new host of Nylon TV.
She’s partnered with Cory Kennedy to host the 90210 feature in honor of the Nylon’s first ever TV issue. You get to see the cover shoot full of ridiculously lacy outfits and a sneak peek of that much anticipated Tilly and the Wall appearance. We’re still not convinced it’ll be as good as Gossip Girl, but we’re willing to give it a shot because of those sequined leggings we spotted.
Oh, and we learn how Peaches really feels about Tori Spelling.
Clearly, everyone’s secretly excited, or at least secretly curious, for the new 90210.
Will they bring back floral minis?
Will Donna wear a choker?
Is Cory Kennedy really in it? (Yes, she is.)
So when a reader sent in a tip that you can still buy 90210 tees on the CBS site, we knew we had to share it with the rest of you.
Insanely, the tee at left would totally work on Jenny Humphrey, wouldn’t it?
