Fashion Brings Back the Radio Star

kelly white ready.jpgWe never listen to the radio, not even during those rare times we’re in a car, but we think we’ll have to at least start listening to online radio come Fashion Week -

Kelly Mills (right), of Black % White PR, has started her own hour-long fashion/comedy radio show called Fashionably Yours.

Each Monday night, starting September 8th, she and Mari J. Brooklyn (left) will broadcast live from DUMBO, when their show will be available for download on PNC Radio.

The shows will include great guests in fashion, the lineup filled with fashion figures like Andre J and apparently Martin Margiela is mentioned more times than we mention F21 - in fact, we think they should try super, super hard to get him on the show. Maybe they could give him his own slot, like Fireside Chats.

What else can we call this but the perfect nightcap to Gossip Girl?

Form Sale!

We like their clothes, too.

So as if we need another excuse to shop, we’ll be heading over to their pop-up sample sale tomorrow. It’s conveniently located just blocks from our office at 170 Elizabeth St. between Kenmare and Spring.

The sale starts tomorrow and goes until August 10th from 12 to 7 pm and the clothes will be marked down by 80%.

We can’t promise Andre J will be there, but we can promise cute dresses you can wear to this fashion week, or to make your local dive bar fancier this weekend.

We’ll see you there - say hi!

Quote of the Day

“I lip-synch, but I’m more of an example, an icon in my own right, a muse. I want people to look at me and feel inspired, to feel hope, to smile. I want to surge positive energy in your body.” - Andre J, in New York Look Book, a Gallery of Street Fashion.

Saturday Morning with Andre (J!)

Form 11.jpgThis morning we got stuck in the elevator at the New Museum.

We were claustrophobic and a little panicked, but admiring Andre J’s sequined turban. Thankfully, Carine’s covergirl took charge and rang the alarm.


Once in the Sky Room on the museum’s eighth floor, we were greeted with a sea of Wayfarers, a handful of bowler hats and Niki Taylor filming Make Me A Supermodel. But even with the celebrities and well-knowns in the room, it was Tyson Beckford whose entrance brought the noise level down to about a 2, and elicited an “Oh my god,” from Andre who was sitting to our right.

Oh, right. The clothes: Form’s A/W ‘08 collection was sculpted, “architecture inspired” and almost every hem was asymettrical; there were bias seams, one sleeved dresses and tights pulled over stockings (which were sort of awkward at the beginning but we sort of loved it by the end). And more of the hot pink we’ve been loving through this season’s runway swirl (even on lips!)

The clothes were eye-catching - but maybe a little hard to wear without a runway, pulsing techno and a 5’11” body to drape it onto.

Other runway sightings: Snoods, muffs and a cross between a ponytail and a pompadour with a single, super long purplish-black extension stuck in the middle.

Leven Ramblin loved it, and we love her. But when the elevator got stuck again after the show ended, she yelled, “All the fatties have to get off!”

We hope she was joking…
