Fashion Is Fun

Take It Off

Models take off their clothes all the time, obviously. And the fashion industry is no stranger to the “green” movement. But in this video, the two come together in a totally cute way. And we likey.

Cameron, Hanne Gaby, Heidi, Crystal, et al really couldn’t look more adorable getting down to their skivvies for a good cause, 350.org—which is all about taking action for climate change. Go, girls!

But, we ask, can you name all the pieces they discard?

Trendspotting: Paint it Black

PULLTrendTattoo.jpgTired of doodling on paper or the soles of your Converse? How about your arm? Your thigh? Your chest?

Rodarte kicked off the body art trend in New York, covering their models with Sharpied tribal shapes to complement their primitive, deconstructed collection. James Kaliardos pulled from a variety of inspirations to come up with the black curvilinear designs that ended up the perfect armor for Rodarte’s futuristic warrior girls.

Making Out at Chanel

chanel ss10 .jpgThe recession might not be over, but Chanel couldn’t care less.

While last season’s show remained elegant and subdued, this season Karl went all out with Halloween worthy decorations, live music and a spectacular collection.

The designer’s time in Vermont has turned him positively country. Hay covered the aisles and floors and even the benches were covered with sleeves of distressed brown jute, stamped with double ‘C’s naturally.

Heidi Mount opened, at the sound of a rooster’s crow, and the rest of the girls popped out of a haystack in the middle of the Grand Palais. Eventually, Lily Allen popped out, too - she’s probably the only face of Chanel to perform her talent mid-show - and gave the collection an upbeat soundtrack.

The clothes however, were almost Victorian with swathes of gauze and big collars; Karl’s rocker edge came through with skinny pants, chain belts and tough boots. Though there were clogs, too, paired with tiny party dresses. It was classic Chanel, which means everyone loved it.

But no one loved as much as Freja and Lara, who jumped Karl’s new favorite Baptiste in the haystack and then enjoyed their own kiss, sans boy. For a show that’s always in the same place at the same time, you really never know what’s going to happen.

Not So Fast: Gen Art, the nonprofit organization known for supporting emerging designers (including at points Zac Posen, Sari Gueron and Phillip Lim) is having serious financial trouble. This tipster says, “Gen Art deserves to die.” {Gawker}

Biba-licious: Biba’s up there with Halston as one of the brands we can’t quite keep track of. It’s just been announced that online retailer Marisot will launch Biba for fall using inspiration from past collection. Um, okay. {VogueUK}

Made Over & Under: Trinny and Susannah, the British makeover artists extraordinaire, are coming to America. Actually, they’re already here, taking Eric Wilson shopping and plucking poor souls out of Times Square and into Zara, including one woman who’d never heard of Elle MacPherson. {NYTimes}

Leather Bound

angelinajolieinmichaelkorsbasterdspremiere.jpgI have a complete fascination with Angelina Jolie. While I realize I am far from alone in this space, I know that there still exist many haters. Now aside from the striking beauty, the children, BRAD!, and the devotion to humanitarian issues, I’m a huge fan of the simplicity of her style.

The lady likes what she likes. What she likes is often black. And lately, she’s been doing the more goddess-y gown thing. So I for one was pretty psyched to see her going more old-school tough girl in this A/W Michael Kors black leather dress last night at the Inglourious Basterds premiere in LA.

I dare say she is one of very few actresses in Hollywood that could pull this off with the same badass attitude that Heidi Mount did on the runway.

Michael Kors must be pretty psyched right now as basicially the two most famous (and photographed) women in the country are choosing his clothes. While Michelle Obama has been spotted regularly at public appearances in Kors, Angelina, not so much. Though we hear that she wears lots in “real life” and that the designer has even created capsule collections for her.

So do you think Diane Kruger’s pissed?

Chanel’s Cruisin’ for a Bruisin’

chanel cruise 10.jpgWe’ve started to think of Chanel as a little family.

A royal one of course, with Karl and Lady Amanda Harlech holding court as king and queen, Sebastian playing court jester, and a circle of courtesans, some of whom are in for life (Karen) and some (Irina, Heidi, Lara) who move in and out of favor.

Anyway, the family gathered in Venice yesterday for Chanel’s Cruise ‘10 (ah!) show and while it didn’t go off without a hitch, the clothes held their own in front of the Venetian sunset. The king was late and the queen suffered a mosquito-stung eye, but after the audience took to their wooden deck chairs the girls - Freja, Ikeliene, Siri, Tanya, Liu, Jourdan - strutted down the beach in stripes, tweeds, florals, pajama-like silks and even harlequin prints. There were loads of jewels, strappy sandals, plastic booties and even lace-trimmed biker shorts that make all our thirteen-year-old style dreams come true.

We hope someone packed up the Marchesa Casati-inspired wigs for this weekend’s Life Ball in Vienna while we imagine a dress or two is already headed to Cannes.

Chanel and Marc by Marc Spring 09, Revealed

heidi mount fakes freakiness for chanel spring 09.jpgYou may already know that two of the most anticipated ads for Spring 09 have finally been revealed - Chanel’s, with mystery girl Heidi Mount posing in Karl’s Vermont home, and Daisy Lowe on a white bed for Marc by Marc.

And what do these two things have in common?

A certain austerity we think we might start seeing in other campaigns, too…

Missing Persons Report: Gemma?

img revamps their site.jpgIMG’s changed their website.

We’re kind of indifferent to colors and fonts, but we’re enthralled with their new “Welcome to the World of Beautiful People” video.

Before, one was greeted with an almost perfect trifecta - Kate Moss, Daria Werbowy and Gemma Ward - now you get more, but one less.

The black and white slideshow gives screen time to Naomi, Hilary Rhoda, Stephanie Seymour (in that ridiculous POP come-back shoot), Heidi Mount, Lara Stone and Angela Lindvall, but where oh where did Gemma go?

Just because she’s disappeared from life and runways and campaigns and everything but The Black Balloon doesn’t mean she’s lost her modeling spot.

Does it?

Fashion Week

Girls of the Moment

sonia girls.jpg

Sonia Rykiel beat Luella Bartley and Chloe as our favorite collection of the season. Why? Because she somehow chucked both Tinlsey Mortimer and Courtney Love on the runway, as incarnated by Siri T. and Heidi Mount.

Close and shocking second place: Chanel.

Heidi Mount for Bill Blass

1339956825_19f774043e_b.jpg
IMG’s Heidi Mount has a speared stare and a yellow mane.

She’s also got some unseen images from Bill Blass’ latest presentation, which were taken weeks before the show by Cyril Guyot on Coney Island.

Now, we have them too.

Check out Heidi below, and answer this:

Is there room for another blonde at New York Fashion Week?

Or among Lily, Snejana, Agyness, Sasha, Tanya, Raquel, and Caroline, are we ready for another redhead?

Okay, maybe that’s just me…

We Want Lily!

mac and cheese, seriously.jpg IMG’s show package is up online, and it includes some of our favorite VIPs:

There’s Freja, Jessica Stam, and Tanya D. all looking gorgeous.

There’s also some incredible new “talent” - and by “talent,” we mean “gene pools” - and our hearts actually stopped when we saw Heidi Mount, a blonde who looks like Tommy Hilfiger built her specifically. And though The Casting Director picked some gorgeous girls for ELLE, we also wouldn’t discount IMG’s Hannah Davis, the beachy beauty who booked some Ralph Lauren ads last year, and now is here to stay.

Meanwhile, Gemma is not in the New York package, and neither is Lily Cole.

BUT.

We hear from a casting assistant that Lily is being quietly allowed as an option for a few select designers.

We hope it’s true -

We love Lily!
