Best Of: Now that Fashion Month is actually and officially over (too many forgot about Giles yesterday), the best of the month’s fashion’s been rounded up for your viewing pleasure and consequent envy. {Style}
Watch Out: Just in case you were trying to ignore her, two days after Becka Diamond was named NylonTV’s newest host, the actress is Who What Wear’s Girl of the Month - a coveted title that means she’s not going anywhere. {WWW}
Real or Rubbish: There’ve been a few whispers suggesting that once Condé Nast finishes their 25% cuts, they’ll bring Elle on board from Hachette. In that case, does Condé own every mainstream fashion magazine? And imagine a holiday party at which Katie Grand, Anna Wintour and Joe Zee all answer to the same boss. {FWD}
Say What Alber: Remember when Alber told The New Yorker he’d never do a diffusion line? And then when he did do a diffusion line? Someone did and someone asked and he just couldn’t handle it. {ElleUK}
On McQueen: Try to break up your Sarah Mower with other important critics. Like Hilary Alexander’s Alexander McQueen review; it’s twice as long and has a video of the show (since Lady Gaga killed the initial live stream for most of us). {The Telegraph}
The Fat Lady Is Not Singing Yet: It’s still unclear how many more names will be added to the 180 that already lost their jobs this week at Condé Nast. How un-fun are those flights back from Paris going to be? {NY Observer}
They All Fall Down: We’re rather partial to the “Drop It Like You’re Hot” but what’s your favorite Falling Model dance? What would have happened to me if I ever tried to put on those McQueen shoes defies all known categories. {The Frisky}
Live at 7:45: Twenty8Twelve is streaming their show from London on their site. That would be 2:45 this afternoon if you’re here in NYC and you guys elsewhere can take it from there. Enjoy. {Twenty8Twelve}
Ambassador Bundchen: Gisele has been named a UN Goodwill Ambassador, focusing on environmental issues, clean water, and all around saving the planet. Her powers did not enable her to score a win in NY against the Jets for the hubby yesterday, however. {Modelinia}
Sitting Down With Yoko: Cory Kennedy talks to Ms. Ono (and Sean) about ThreeAsFour, her new album, and why she wouldn’t co-write with John. {NylonTV}
When everyone in fashion gathers in one place, people talk. Here’s what they said today.
1. Becka Diamond for Nylon TV? The latest New York it girl’s been sitting front row at all the best (and by best I mean most fun) shows - Wang, Altuzzara, Ronson - and now we hear she’ll start hosting segments for Nylon TV. Phillip Lim, up first.
2. The Daily’s not-so-blind items. On day one they published an entire page of awful things done by fashion people and most of them couldn’t have been less subtle.
3. White girls and skinny girls. After a summer of talking about race and weight, the girls on this season’s runways couldn’t possibly be any skinnier. And aside from a couple of Chanel Iman and Sessilee Lopez sightings, we can honestly say they’ve never looked whiter.
4. Tonight’s Gareth Pugh ‘experience’ is sensorial. Apparently, it’ll be really hot inside, but you only have to stay for five minutes.
5. Sex and the City’s filming all over West Broadway tomorrow. So if the tents aren’t packed enough for you, head below Houston for increased fashion mayhem.
Riccardo Redux: Come October you’ll be able to buy pieces from Tisci’s new Redux capsule collection. And yes, there will be many white blouses. {Vogue UK}
Non, Non: Seems yesterday’s Keith Kelly musings about Hearst taking over a piece of Elle are just that. {Observer}
Matte-ify It: We’re partial to the matte shades from KO. The beauty department at Nylon tries on some other options too. {NYLON TV}
Baby Brady: Yesterday London Fog announced that they airbrushed Gisele’s pregnant belly to “respect her privacy” which, you know, didn’t. Now People’s got the shot that can put all the speculation to rest. via {The Cut}
POP This: Here’s your first peek at Dasha Zhukova’s POP. Looks good so far, and love anything that pairs “Margiela with Westwood, McQueen against Watanabe’s padded extravagance,” though she should stop defending herself. {Fashionologie & Interview}
Fall, For Serious: Candy & her team at Style just released their fall trend report. We’ll avoid Party Like It’s 1983 since we just barely missed that the first time around, but fully embrace Boudoir Crossing and Biker Brigade. {Style}
Rad Rad: If you’re not yet familiar with Rad Hourani, get thee to a lookbook. The dude’s going to be major. {Jak&Jil}
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie: Just how many of these bracelets on one arm would be too many? We can’t make it past the jewelry counter at J.Crew lately. Seriously, someone is doing their job very, very well. {J.Crew}
Model Citizen: Meet Damaris Lewis. She’s from Brooklyn, she’s eighteen, she’s the face of YSL and after watching this, you’ll want to eat pizza with her. {NylonTV}
Oh Hello: Ed Westwick’s celebrity crush is Scarlett Johansson. He also likes low-top sneakers and laments the fact that Chuck Bass has a billion dollars and he doesn’t. {NylonTV}
Drama Feed: Dolce & Gabanna’s AW09 campaign features lots of models, lots of Marilyn dresses, lots of fur and lots of dresses that we’d really love to have (especially if they come with one of the male models.) {Models}
Strap This: According to Garance, because according to the Italians, everyone needs a little strapless dress this summer, worn with flats during the day. This, we love. {Garance}
So What?: There’s a dude from Kentucky who diets so that he can walk for Cavalli and Co. He only eats twice a day. Mon dieu! {NYTimes}
“The people with the best style, for me, are the people that are the poorest. Like, when I go down to like Venice Beach and I see the homeless, I’m like, oh my god, you’re pulling out like crazy looks. They pulled shit out of like garbage bags.” - Erin Wasson to NylonTV.
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.
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
Meet Blue Logan, if you haven't already. A couple of years ago a friend dragged the soft-spoken Brit to a show at London Fashion Week, Aquascutum he thinks, and he started to draw the models as they walked down the... Read More
