He Doesn’t Even Look Like a “Garth”

gareth pugh is not garth pugh.jpgYo Fashionista,

I’m sure you guys have already heard and formed opinions about Perez Hilton’s new fashion blog, CocoPerez.com.

I’m offended that he even thinks he can legitimately comment on fashion - especially when he spells Gaultier Gautier and thinks someone in London makes clothes under the name Garth Pugh. I’m just wondering if you guys plan to comment on it or not? I understand that commenting on it would only reinforce his perceived legitimacy, but I simply cannot stand that he’s doing this. I mean the stories so far are ripped straight from your headlines! He’s clearly stealing content from Jezebel and WWD, too without crediting anyone and more importantly without bringing anything new to the discussion. It sucks. Especially after fashion bloggers have been working hard for so long to be taken seriously.

Just wondering what your take will be….

Are Designers The New Celebrities?

proenzaschoulerboys.jpgThanks to Hollywood’s recent penchant for all things fashion - The Devil Wears Prada, Sex and the City, Confessions of a Shopaholic - names like Vivienne Westwood and Anna Wintour have made their way into the general public.

They’re in our tabloids, in Time magazine, on TV - with their own shows! - on 60 Minutes, and in Target gaining celebrity-level attention.

And now, thanks to Kiefer Sutherland’s violent head butting of one of the sweetest men we’ve ever met in fashion, and with the most delicate face to boot, everyone from TMZ to Perez Hilton to Taxi TV is learning how to pronounce Proenza Schouler.

And while the whole thing might be the most tragically ridiculous moment we’ve ever written about, it’s also going to push Jack and Lazaro over the ledge of hip beloved New York designers to international celebrities and that’s just weird.

Do you want to read about people like Chris Benz or the Vena Cava girls in US Weekly? Because we don’t.

First Look: Charlotte Ronson

Charlotte Ronson Fall 09 11.jpgIt’s really hard to concentrate on a show when Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are in the DJ booth and Mark Ronson and his new girlfriend are sitting across the aisle and you feel like you’re living in Perez Hilton.

But we finally peeled our eyes away and focused them on the runway for Charlotte’s Fall show.

Dark lipstick, again! Tight ponytails and some very serious Pretty Woman leather lace-up boots. There were lots of little dresses - it’s Charlotte Ronson, after all - jumpsuits, bolero jackets, tight tight pants and some of the western flair we saw this morning at Yigal (more on him soon).

There were cut out shoulders - which we saw later at Shipley & Halmos - and shearling vests and jackets belted over ruffled dresses.

It was a lot, it was fun, it was a little scarier than expected.

And please, excuse Lindsay in the corner of nearly all our photos.

Valley of Wu Dolls

jason wu and amanda lepore.jpgSo everyone’s talking about Jason Wu.

The lucky kid’s dress landed on Michelle Obama for last night’s host of inaugural balls. As of last night we knew he was young, Teen Vogue-beloved, only three seasons deep, and in the running for an inaugural coup.

This morning, we found out that he, like many a young fashion thing, has a day job. For the past nine years, since the age of seventeen, he’s been the creative director of Integrity Toys, a luxury doll company that makes over-priced dolls donning runway inspired duds.

It kind of makes sense though. We think Michelle’s dress was more suited to a doll than a first lady.
