Attend New York Fashion Week From Your Couch: A Complete List of Shows Livestreaming This Week

Attend New York Fashion Week From Your Couch: A Complete List of Shows Livestreaming This Week

by

New York is unreasonably cold right now. Like impending-blizzard-freeze-your-Rag & Bone-covered-butt-off cold. This is exactly why we, and fashionistas nowhere near New York, are praising the fashion gods (more like IMG & various PR people) for the glorious amount of New York fashion week shows livestreaming this week. We wrangled 89 shows (89!) and presentations to tune into over the course of the next week…with even more coming in! The best part? You won’t be judged for taking in these shows in your pjs over some popcorn or pizza or half a bottle of wine…

See any shows we missed? Let us know!

J. Mendel Fall 2012: Dressed Down But Moving Up

by

Last season marked Gilles Mendel’s notable move towards a more dressed-down design aesthetic for J.Mendel. Yes there was still plenty of fur and glitz, but his penchant for a Swan Lake princess had taken a 180 in favor of a more modern lady who enjoys a night out on the town. Well, that plan seems to have worked, judging from the designer’s upgrade in show venues. While last season Mendel sent Karlie Kloss down the runway of Lincoln Center’s smallest tent, this season he plucked Arizona Muse and Lindsey Wixson to sashay through its largest—fashion’s mega-arena only used for blockbuster shows. (And the Olsen twins sat front and center, in their first documented New York fashion week front row appearance.)

Fall 2009 New York

Trendspotting: Peplums

by

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 Read more →

Donna Karan Cuts Back, Again

by

When the economy started its downward spiral, we guessed Fashion Week would pass with a few less tote bags and water bottles. Which was fine, as long as there were still macaroons. Now WWD reports a surge in planned presentations, instead of runways, which we’d actually love. Both Vera Wang and J. Mendel are allegedly Read more →

PETA Slightly Accomplishes Mission

by

In case you haven’t heard, Liz Hurley’s the new face of Blackglama, the (in)famous line of furs. The ad itself is kind of silly. She crouches, she pouts, she wears nothing but her mink, but it’s her presence in general that’s worth discussing. In the past, women like Catherine Deneuve, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland and Read more →
