If you haven’t had your fill of Fashion TV, haven’t been satisfied with copious model interviews and backstage videos of Fall 09 Fashion Month and the return of Blair Waldorf’s Monday night headbands wasn’t enough for you, don’t worry, the TV gods are on the lookout.
This morning marked Carine Roitfeld’s television debut, but since no one seems to know exactly when the CNN International profile will be airing, times are listed all over the place, and not everyone gets CNN International, we’d suggest watching it on-line.
But save it for Saturday and devote your entire day to fashion. Start with the premiere of House of Style at 3pm. According to Erin Fetherston’s Facebook page she’ll be rounding out the Chanel Iman/ Bar Rafaeli trifecta. Then watch Carine’s profile. Take a break before heading over to Film Forum on Houston to catchValentino: The Last Emperor at 8pm.
And if that doesn’t satiate your fashion appetite, we suggest Barneys.
We can’t imagine how she’s had the time between walking back-to-back shows in New York, London, Milan, and probably now Paris. (We bet Coco’s been giving her tips.)
Unless, of course, the first House of Style episodes revolve exclusively around backstage shots of Fashion Week - in which case, how does Bar figure into it?
Chanel Iman’s on the sure-to-be-mind-blowing episode of Gossip Girl - the one where Serena throws an amazing party and everyone shows up.
It’s the same episode in which Patrick McMullan takes pictures, the Misshapes look miserable and this guy got in trouble with the producers for trying to drink booze in Dan’s fake room.
So now we’re wondering, will there be other models present? Other fashion people? Between Leigh (who we hope hope hope gets to make eyes at Chuck) and Chanel, the show’s obviously on a mission to up its high fashion cred.
Also, this means Chanel’s at least sort of into the idea of being on TV, which makes the rumor that she’s set to co-host House of Style with Bar Rafaeli a bit more believable.
That’s a lot to think about - and it’s only Tuesday.
Bar Rafaeli just got the cover of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, and she gushes to Time.com all about it.
But more importantly, when asked about her future plans near the end of the interview, she says this:
“I’m shooting a show for MTV; we’re starting right after all the parties for Sports Illustrated. And then I have work, work, work, work. The show is called House of Style. They used to do it before and now they’re bringing it back. So it’s very exciting.”
There you have it. Now if someone can corner Chanel later this week (we’re on it), then we can all know for sure just exactly who’s taking Cindy’s spot.
The 90’s television revivals aren’t stopping at 90210 and Absolutely Fabulous. No, House of Style’s jumping on the trend, too.
The Post reports that the MTV show that made Cindy Crawford America’s sweetheart is back for a second try, and the producers already have their sights set on Chanel Iman and Bar Rafaeli (who already has some experience with camera crews) as hosts.
Assuming the show will be the same format of fashion and design information brought to Americans via cute girls, we’re betting it’ll be a hit, especially with those that want to further understand the decade they were born in, which is pretty much MTV’s target audience these days anyway.
In the meantime, please enjoy Cindy and Niki, at left.
That rumor we spread about Mark Fast doing a line for Topshop? It's true. And it's in last week's Sunday Telegraph magazine which means it was true before we even said anything and we've had it in our lap since... Read More
