For the second week in a row, we are amazed that any celebrities found clothes to wear outside of Cannes, but they did! Events for Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney and Coach drew particularly well-heeled crowds. From Agyness Deyn to Zooey Deschanel to new Mad Men star Alexis Bledel, click through to see our picks for Read more →
Before and after Fashion’s Night Out: The Show, I made my way to the night’s two biggest events: The launch of Jessica Simpson’s denim collection and the Kate Spade/Elizabeth Arden-hosted dinner to celebrate the launch of the brand’s new fragrance, Twirl.
Simpson’s soiree was a lively party in her apparel label’s showroom, DJed by brother-in-law Pete Wentz and featuring Simpson and friends show off the jeans, as well as some Spring 2011 offerings. The snacks were good–mini everything, from grilled cheese to hamburgers to BLTs–and the atmosphere was bright and buzzy. Simpson’s friends, including CaCee Cobb (who we’re particularly fond of because she’s married to Donald Faison, aka Murray from Clueless) scooted around the room in their new clothes. In reality, there were few actually examining at the wares–most onlookers seemed to want to get a good view of Simpson’s bod rather than her jeans. But I’ll say that there were some lovely shoes in the mix–particularly a pair of brown heeled hiking boots. Simpson’s shoe collection–when she’s not knocking off other labels–is really great. There–I’m admitting it!
I soon moved on to FNO: The Show, which you can read about here. Then it was time to head down to Tribeca, where the Kate Spade gals were clinking champagne at the Smyth Hotel’s Plein Sud in honor of Twirl, a new fragrance produced in conjunction with Elizabeth Arden.
We will forgive these three for wearing sunglasses inside, just this once. Last night, at the Sunglass Hut Flagship store on Fifth Avenue, we watched Jessica Szohr, Alexis Bledel and Emmy Rossum try on some pretty cute shades in celebration of the new Vogue Eyewear/CFDA Capsule Collection. We thought this was a pretty random choice of celeb guests and were wondering where Rachel Bilson was, until we realized each pair of sunglasses was pretty well-suited to these three girls. By the way, Alexis Bledel is GORGEOUS in person.
CFDA members Devi Kroell, Matt Murphy and Kara Ross were each selected to design a pair of sunglasses for a special capsule collection to be sold under the Vogue Eyewear brand.
This week, two unlikely girls were dressed in BCBG–Leigh Lezark and Harley Viera Newton at the Whitney Art Party–while Emmy Rossum and Alexis Bledel kept it classy in Marchesa (Kenneth Cole accessories) and Behnaz Sarafpour, respectively. Hana Soukupova also shines in Marchesa.
I’ve been thinking about this picture of Alexis Bledel from WWD since I saw it earlier today. While I appreciate the Gilmore memories that any picture of Rory brings to mind, I’m less enthusiastic about the 80s era flashbacks to hair I’d rather forget. And I loved the genius that went into creating all those Read more →
Modeling behemoth IMG (home of Kate, Gisele, Daria, the Lilys, and oh-so many more of our favorite girls) has just signed former Gilmore Girl Alexis Bledel to the agency to handle her commercial endorsements – so now she and Little J can hang out at the office? And we’re excited to see what they’ve got Read more →
