Trendspotting: You Say Gaga, We Say Stella

Stella McCartney sent pants-less looks down her runway as early as her Spring 2008 collection (September of 2007, when Gaga was still just a noise babies made). She carried the look through to last spring’s line-up of pants-less suits and rompers, but this season almost every designer jumped on the bandwagon. Charles Anastase showed a [...]

We Really Hope You Like Sequins…

…Because they were all over the New York runways for Spring. They came huge (Threeasfour, Jenni Kayne), they came small (DVF, Alexandre Herchcovitch, Phillip Lim), they even came minuscule and in body art-like swirls on sheer tops and leggings (Ohne Titel). We fully expect to see them in every store come February, but the bigger [...]

First Look: Jenni Kayne

Jenni Kayne is from Hollywood, and accordingly, her collection was too: Giant glasses perfect for deflecting glares, grins, or paparazzi. Shredded furs and tumbling gowns to get caught in the door of a valet car. Slouches to hide secret pregnancies; jackets to wear to a power lunch where you have a crush on the neighboring [...]

Flavorless Pretty at Jenni Kayne

The first few seasons that Jenni Kayne hit the scene, we weren’t so excited. The designer herself was lovely, and her collection of celebrity fans like Mary Kate and Cameron was impressive – sometimes more impressive than her actual collection of slouched LA sportswear that leaned hip but also looked droopy. Last season, though, we [...]

Have Celebs Deserted Fashion Week?

Memo to celebrity publicists: If you have a cute client who needs a little push, RSVP her to a fashion show. We’ve been hearing from PR Blackberries around the city that so far, there are way less celeb confirmations than in the past – in part because MTV’s Video Music Awards happen at the exact [...]

I Wish They All Could Be…

There are many talented designers in Los Angeles, but the one we’re most excited about is Tara Subkoff for Imitation of Christ. Even if we don’t always “get’ IOC, the decision to show the line in LA is important. Why? Each season, amazing LA talent liquidates to New York. Libertine brings their vintage shredded style [...]
