It’s graduation season, and in fashion-obsessed NYC, that means it’s time for student fashion shows. Wednesday night, it was FIT’s turn to present the best of its students’ work at the Future of Fashion Runway Show.
Each year, the Fashion Institute of Technology here in New York puts on a fashion show featuring looks from the graduating design students. For the first time, they’ve opened up their judging process to press. And while there’s no question these kids have talent–can they find jobs?
We love gawking at street style , but the front rows were also filled with well-heeled celebs whose outfits were equally worthy of our attention this past New York Fashion Week.
From Sofia Coppola (so. perfect.) to Olivia Wilde to Bryanboy, click through for New York fashion week’s 20 (famous) best dressed.
It started out as a big idea: We’d have Fashionista contributor and Haute Cuisine host David Yi dress up exactly like Bryanboy (we’re talking head-to-toe) and then attend a New York Fashion Week show along with him. And then, with cameras rolling, we’d see what happened.
People already mistook Yi as the renowned fashion blogger. “I remember one year an editor sitting next to me at Peter Som noticed my then-bleach blonde hair and said, verbatim, ‘Bryanboy, your fans are going to go crazy because of your new hair.’” Yi said. To which he replied, “Uh, racist.”
Anyway, we thought we’d have a little fun with that. Watch what happened!
We’re approaching the home stretch of New York Fashion Week, which means many of our attitudes have shifted from excited and energetic to when-will-this-be-over? So, we asked some of fashion’s busiest bees to tell us what they do to stay sane (and no we don’t mean pharmaceuticals–though those certainly aren’t off-limits). From Jenna Lyons’ many coats, to BryanBoy’s cathartic Instagramming, click through for their (and our) tips and tricks!
Today we hit the midway point in the New York fashion week madness, with shows from Derek Lam, Victoria Beckham, DVF, Zac Posen, and many more.
We got a pretty good seat behind Anna and Grace at Thakoon and spied Bryanboy and Fashionista contributor David Yi rocking matching looks at DKNY. We also caught dreamgirls Crystal Renn and Coco Rocha being beautified backstage as Zac Posen (as if they needed it), and models vogueing backstage at Derek Lam.
Check out everything we saw and snapped from day five of New York fashion week!
Much like last season’s surprise Lochte lockdown, the crowd at Rebecca Minkoff’s Fall 2013 show seemed just as enthralled by the celeb-filled front row as it was the clothes themselves.
We chatted up a bunch of fashion industry people today to see how they’re prepping for the storm, how they’ll dress, and whether or not they’re worried. From Tim Blanks’ plans to buy Timberlands to Cara Delevingne‘s concern that it will turn into “fashion Lord of the Flies,” here’s what the industry thinks of Nemo:
The amount of fried food involved may surprise you.
It’s not such a stretch to imagine some fashion people as cartoon characters, is it? Here are the Disney versions of all your favorites in the industry, straight from the Barneys/Disney holiday collab.
Between Anna Wintour’s epic fundraising efforts and several celeb-filled PSA-style videos, there’s no doubt that the fashion industry is becoming an increasingly powerful presence in politics today.
And now that election day is almost upon us, all of the industry’s best and brightest are taking to Twitter to remind us how very important it is that everyone votes tomorrow.
Like Andre Leaon Talley for example, who tweeted, “Make an effort to talk about nothing but getting out to vote for the next 72 hours. Vote Obama. Tell everyone you meet. It’s Obama.”
