Lipcolor at Proenza Schouler?

lip color at proenza spring 09.jpgI am obsessing over the lipcolor at this week’s Proenza Schouler show!

It is the perfect orangy-red.

Has anyone read who did the makeup?

Thanks!

XOXO

That was a huge mistake on Gap's part!

I live in Dallas Tx and I love the sart! My 62 yr old father in rural Mississippi loves him too...so that rules out the "he's not known outside of NYC" theory.......

I saw him in NYC one time and still kick myself for not going up to him!

Julie Gilhart and Jessica Stam wore my two favorite looks from Fall 08, but I don't think they were appropriate for the theme.
Anna was the best, but they will never list her.
Chanel Iman, Christina Ricci, Zac/Kate and Naomi Watts would win the "costume contest"! They put out the most effort.

Arden B buys a lot of their stuff from branded clothing companies, and then switch out the labels. They've even bought denim from a company I represent and switched the labels to their own.

I saw Priceless a few weeks ago at the Angelika here in Dallas (I'm a huge Tautou fan, I've seen all her movies!) and it was so great! I thought it was more like a modern day Breakfast at Tiffany's though......
The clothes were amazing.....

I think the difference here is that Parish Nation is going into "troubled schools" as opposed to private schools or schools with a higher graduation success rate. One of the lines I represent is "urban" and we've done similar things. I think that the fashion shows in the troubled schools are great, it's something that inspires these kids and gives them (realistic) goals and dreams. The ones I've been involved in usually invite as many kids to join in to participate as possible.

I think it's great what he's doing, and he's probably getting kids involved who would normally see learning "teamwork, responsibility, business skills, creativity, and risk taking" as nerdy or uncool, but since it's fashion, something that they are interested in, they participate.

Good one, Fashionista!

The whole green trend is annoying (not the act of being green itself, just the fact that it's a "trend")

I also find short shorts with boots annoying! ;-)

Fresh Jive is the brand who made it. Did they make a public apology?

I drive past the catepillar building on my way from Dallas to Austin ;-)
The Starship building is about 30 miles later, the same exit as Dairy Queen!

well, it's over 100 here in Dallas, but we are fortunate to have cars to commute in. NYC in July/Augusr is waaaayyyy more miserable than here in Dallas!
That being said, my office is so frikking cold that I have to wear skinny jeans to keep my legs warm. Then I sweat to death when I go to happy hour after work!

You guys always have the best fashion week coverage! I was up late last night stalking all the fashion sites, and of course Fashionista was first with MJ!

I have to say that I loved the second half of the show much more than the first.

I actually just ordered a pair from Proenza Schouler on sale at shopbop. They come in tomorrow, so we will see!
I think they are so much fresher than the wayfarer/oversized looks out there. The Proenza's are still pretty big, but I think the glasses will be more flattering if they are a slight bit bigger.

Does anyone know what the Rachel Roy scarf is made of? I really want to order it, but the website doesn't say what it's made out of????

That is such a great story! I am so jealous you got a pic with her!
You need to spread that story all around. She was just as sweet to me when I met her a couple years ago in a restaurant, and I wish more stories like this would surface!

I'm from Dallas, and I have amazing style and taste, so maybe little Miss Tricky needs to head on down here for a visit.

ewwwwwwwwww I bet it's a Rodarte knock-off from Bebe or something.
No way the Mulleavy's would loan her a dress. No way Britney even knows what Rodarte is.........

The Olsens and Roy Orbison (Weird choice, but his style was fascinating!)
I'm also obsessed with Lou Doillon too.... and sometimes Liv Tyler.
