Fall 2009 New York

Fall 2009 London

Why is Fall 09 on Repeat? Let’s Do the Math…

Hypothesis: Fall 09 is mostly a season of repeats. Proof: 1. Balmainia. 2. The entire decade of the 80′s turning up… everywhere. 3. Marni loving Prada perhaps a bit too much. 4.

Trendspotting: There’s a Ribbon on the Runway For Our Love

Curiously, amid knee-high boots, neon, cut-outs, and body-con dresses, some designers were thinking of present packaging for their Fall 09 designs.

Narciso Was as the Oscars

When the last look came out at the Narciso show on Raquel last Wednesday night, everyone kind of oohed and we wondered who would be the first lucky girl to rock his sequined ballerina look (because we knew this one practically came with a sign that would read,”Photograph me, you know you want to”). And [...]

Trendspotting: Peplums

The New York Fall 09 runways saw a curious mishmash of trends – More “downtown” ideas like neon, cut-outs, and what could only be referred to as hooker boots, alongside more “uptown” looks like fur, cascading ribbons, and peplums. Behnaz Sarafpour, Chris Benz and J Mendel all worked in that last one, which makes us [...]

First Time Fur at NYFW Fall 09

Of all the trends that popped up last week during New York Fashion Week (so much more on that later), the one that took us by surprise most was the use of fur by designers who’d never designed with animal skins in the past. First, we saw it at Ohne Titel, then at Alexander Wang [...]

Fall 09 Beauty: DIY

Looks like the r-word hit the runways harder than we thought. I heard the term “DIY” batted around backstage so much it had me wondering if next season we might see models backstage with lash curlers and cans of Elnett in hand. The smoky makeup at Chris Benz and Anna Sui along with the hair [...]
