The stars of New York Fashion Week? Jessica Biel. Kate Bosworth. Kim Kardashian. Elisabeth…Hasselbeck??? A weak showing, considering just a few seasons ago Anne Hathaway, Chloë Sevigny, Ashley Olsen, and Milla Jovovich graced a single front row. When I wrote that story on how much celebs get paid to sit in the front row at Read more →

“Kate! Kate! Kate! Over here! Kate!†There was a mob of photographers—unlike any I’ve seen all week—surrounding the sidewalk at Calvin Klein yesterday, and they were screaming my name. Of course they weren’t shouting for me; they were shouting for Kate Bosworth. We both happened to arrive at the exact same time, and when I Read more →
The Scene: When I walked into the Tent, I was dumbstruck by the absolutely massive show Anna puts on; it was like walking into a football stadium. There were a staggering 20 rows, and by the time the lights went down, every seat was filled. In fact, some people were even double-booked for seats. The Read more →
Dresses used to be the best thing about Phillip Lim; between those and the flouncy skirts he made for 3.1 we knew which silhouettes we’d be sporting next season. This time around, the closing dresses fell flat. Instead, Lim’s coats were the highlight of his AW10 show. A shearling jacket stood out (we’re still bummed Read more →
At yesterday’s Oscar de la Renta show I decided that: 1. I will never be a lady who lunches. 2. I wish the WhoWhatWear girls lived in New York. 3. I need big hair, and a fur. 4. Jessica Biel is stunning in real life. Maybe it’s the overwhelming amount of CW stars I’ve run Read more →
Coach’s Reed Krakoff debuted his new eponymous collection in New York yesterday, and yes, it was inspired by Celine. But without actually copying Phoebe Philo, he invoked the same casual luxury that she’s made cool again. Slouchy, comfortable looking trousers came in leather, so did mini dresses and shorts. Shearling vests and jackets were layered Read more →
Ever wonder how those guys who shoot thousands of backstage and runway looks for the wires wind up there? Getty photog Bryan Bedder gave up some precious spare time at Milk Studios to explain how he landed at the beautiful mess that is New York Fashion Week. Fashionista: So, how’d you get this gig? Bryan Read more →
There’s no way threeASFOUR is a profitable business. But in this case, I don’t really care. The clothes are art. If the threesome only sells ten dresses a year it’s worth a runway show in my mind. While the twisted rope dresses encased in a perfumed Milk Studios didn’t wow when compared to that seashell Read more →
I don’t want to rain on Sophia Theallet’s parade. The CFDA-winner might be the brightest star in women’s fashion. Her clothes are exquisitely-made and possess an effervescence that is rarely seen on the runway today. I mean that Theallet’s clothes shine: Not just in the literally sense with sparkle and satin, but with character. On Read more →
Sophia Kokosalaki might be renown for her ability to drape a dress, but few knew what to expect when it was announced she would take over as lead designer at Diesel Black Gold, Renzo Rosso’s attempt at bringing high design to his denim brand. (Rosso is also an investor in Kokosalaki’s namesake label.) Good news: Read more →
It was a mad rush to Jill Stuart. I ditched my Valentine for fashion week, but then was delayed in the subway until 12:25pm for a 12pm show. By the time I sprinted in 4 inch wedges from the subway up the stairs of the New York Public Library, I was soaked in cold sweat. Read more →
