Oscar the Pretty

karlie kloss oscar resort 09.jpgOscar De La Renta showed his resort collection this morning.

On Park Avenue, naturally, in a pretty small, light room with an organ at the end of the runway and a balcony wrapping around. Vogue took up three rows - Andre Leon Talley wore a dusty pink alligator trench, at least two girls rocked Ann Demeulemeester’s brown lace-up sandals, one lounged in Alex Wang’s grey sweatpants and when Anna tried to sit down Bee squealed, “Mom, that’s my seat!” to which Anna laughed and promptly switched to her proper seat beside Grace Coddington.

The first half of the collection - white and navy boucle tweed suits, shifts, newsboy - screamed Chanel, especially when set to French tunes. The fantastical cocktail dresses built from lace, jewels and what looked like a fabric interpretation of chocolate shavings are exactly what we’d wear if we decided to be a lady who lunched for Halloween (if the costume came with a check).

Karlie opened and closed the show while Aminata, Daiane, Kasia, Hanne, Arlenis, Liu and Ubah also walked. I couldn’t help but think of all the nasty comments Oscar’s made regarding the First Lady’s fashion choices and wonder if this was him desperately trying to land in her closet.

Meanwhile, we just heard Vogue has swine flu. Great. My morning just got significantly less glamorous.

Campaign Roundup: Lily and Natasha Swap Styles!

181.jpg You may have noticed that Whole Foods is (once again) crammed with lithe spirits named Irina, Anabela, and Kinga.


There’s a reason for that and it’s simple: Campaign season is officially here!

If you don’t have time to camp out at Milk Studios all day to watch the girls, here’s a little cheat sheet of what’s happening so far:

Fanorexics will be psyched to hear that Lily Donaldson is now Gucci’s main girl. She’s pairing up with a few backup dancers - including Abbey Lee, the Aussie upstart who got the Gucci exclusive in Milan - for their next big campaign, which is something of a Gypsy-Chic explosion.

But what happened to Gucci’s main face, Natasha Poly?

Funny you should ask - she’s taking the reigns at the Dolce & Gabbana campaign, which Lily D. ruled last season with Gemma and Jessica Stam. Now it’s Natasha, plus Kasia Strauss and maybe Jessica Stam again as the fearsome threesome.

And remember the cute new blonde, Agnete? She’s bumping Kate Bosworth out of her CK Jeans billboard this Fall. Steven Meisel is shooting the full campaign this week, but he’s got a little bit of trouble: They’re trying to book 8 boys and about 16 girls for the ads, but so many girls aren’t in town that the number might have to go down.
