Companies with any sort of history are trying to capitalize on the current nostalgic heritage craze that shows no signs of dying down. Even though it’s only been around since the 1970s, Jordache jeans is trying to grab some of that nostalgia. And we fully support them, if these stills from an upcoming commercial–due out Read more →
Snowflakes and slushy streets didn’t put a damper on festivities as Rebecca Taylor welcomed party goers to her newest boutique on Wednesday night. While the plummeting temperatures called for snow boots and parkas, Taylor fans opted to don their favorite spring looks at the designer’s Meatpacking District outpost. Selita Ebanks chose a polka dot skirt paired with a floral tank, 30 Rock‘s Katrina Bowden wore a floral jumper, and we even spotted a certain Gossip Girl in a floppy sunhat. (Tika Sumpter, to be exact.)
The space reflects Taylor’s flirty ensembles. From the ornate ceiling moldings to the cast-resin furniture complete with a touch of burnished gold, it’s easy to see that the designer played a big role bringing the store to fruition. “I’ve been 100% hands on with this project,” said Taylor as she took a break from greeting guests. “I’ve been here all day working on everything including the flower arrangements! I’m a little bit of a freak like that,” she admitted. Of course, she did have the help of APALondon, a design firm that has also worked with the likes of Stella McCartney and Adidas to create unique store layouts.
The tents were abuzz on this crisp first morning of New York Fashion Week. Guests filing into the BCBG show looked fresh faced and energized, flitting around the rows to greet friends and old co-workers during the show’s 30 minute delay.
The paps swarmed the front row of B-list celebs that included a very bronzed Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kelly Rowland in cute coral cocktail dress, and Katrina Bowden of 30 Rock.
On the runway, a parade of models in sleek ponytails donned delicate silk crepe dresses that were belted and layered over white turtleneck body suits for an overall ’70s vibe. Overall, the collection was clean and simple with a neutral palette and structured silhouettes, but sheer fabric, splashes of color, and varying neck lines kept the collection interesting.
Rachel Antonoff’s SS11 lookbook hit our inboxes last night to our great delight. Featuring 30 Rock actress Katrina Bowden, new model Ruby Jean, and the most adorable kitten we’ve seen since Antonoff’s last lookbook (for Bass Hearts Rachel Antonoff), the lookbook captures all the charm of childhood while showcasing Antonoff’s very adult and wearable pieces.
It’s hard to say what we want more, the adorable clothes or the cute kitten. In the ideal world, we’d get both!
