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!
1. Holy hell, what kind of crazy is Tyra on this episode… and where can I get some?
2. Was this episode originally meant to coincide with Halloween or something?
3. Does this mean that none of the eliminated girls (except, tear… Victoria?) actually returned to their island home and packed their bags to leave Jamaica immediately after being eliminated? And the girls who never even made it to Jamaica got a free trip anyway?
Hurricane Sandy is upon us–but the fashion industry isn’t letting this Frankenstorm bring them down.
We checked in with some of our favorite people in the industry–from The Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine to Kelly Cutrone to DKNY PR Girl Aliza Licht–to find out how they prepped for tonight’s storm. For an industry that’s supposed to shun carbs we are collectively loaded up on them–as well as candy, nail polish, and fashion mags to read by scented candle light.
Click through to see how everyone is getting ready.
And above all, everybody stay safe!!
1. Forget about Leila’s walk and Kiara’s photos–does Kristin not realize that everyone watching ANTM can see her awful personality?
2. Did Kiara actually just ask the Jamaican male models if they’ve ever heard of Las Vegas? Cringe.
3. Is Tyra too godly to take the same flight as the girls?
4. Was Tyra’s impromptu lesson on smizing and tooching far more valuable to real life than anything I ever learned during all four years of earning my college degree?
5. Is anyone surprised that Victoria once participated in a Siamese ballet?
A Look Back at Gossip Girl’s Finest Fashion Moments: We’re eleven episodes from the finale of Gossip Girl, and the mourning process has begun. A moment of silence for these amazing fashion moments, please.
Top Trends from the Spring 2013 Runways: If, like us, you’re still trying to process all of the beautious clothing paraded down runways around the world we hope this break down of the top trends for Spring 2013 will help.
Guide to Find the Perfect Black Bootie: Boot season is upon us and everybody knows the staple of any good Fall wardrobe is the black bootie. For those who haven’t tracked down that perfect pair yet, we have some suggestions.
When Kelly Cutrone likes you, she is your biggest advocate and will chop down forests for you. If you piss her off, however, beware her wrath and facility with social media. Just ask that ex-assistant who allegedly stole her credit cards.
Anyway, the outspoken ANTM judge and publicist took to Twitter last night to vent about a frustrating experience she had while shopping with her daughter at the Urban Outfitters on Sixth and 14th Street in NYC. We reached out to Cutrone to get the scoop, and here’s what went down.
My life consists of exactly two time periods: B.T. and A.T. (Before and After Tyra). B.T. was a pretty dark time for me. For twenty-five long, wasted years, I thought I didn’t love Tyra Banks. But things are different now: Enter A.T. Last night, I attended a preview screening of America’s Next Top Model‘s season Read more →
Is it just us, or has anyone else noticed that a lot of legitimate editorials have been looking a little America’s Next Top Model-esque lately? Sure, those ANTM challenges have reined in some pretty big names in the biz over the past 18 seasons (Patrick Demarchelier, Russell James, Francesco Carrozzini, and of course the most Read more →
Ah, prom. The memories, the dresses, the awkward dances, and… Kelly Cutrone? Yep, if you attend Newburgh Free Academy in Newburgh, NY, Cutrone will be a part of your prom memories, too.
We headed out to Newburgh Wednesday to meet high school senior Rachel, the winner of Nine West’s Prom Crashers with Kelly Cutrone contest, which gave high school students the chance to win full prom makeovers (including hair and makeup, Nine West custom-made dresses and shoes, and prom and style tips from the publicist-cum-reality TV star).
“I was just sitting with my assistant principal talking about college, and all of a sudden Kelly Cutrone pops in and says ‘You’ve been Prom’d!’” Rachel said. “I was crying. I never thought this would happen to me, and this was the best way to end senior year.” [Ed. note: She presumably was not told to go outside.]
If there is one person in the industry no one wants to piss off, it’s Kelly Cutrone. [Ed. note: OK, really it's Anna Wintour, but she won't put your shit on blast like Cutrone.] The lifestyle guru, America’s Next Top Model judge, and PR maven is known for telling it exactly how it is, no matter who it is. The most recent victim of her acid tongue? Janice Dickinson.
Dickinson, who seems to enjoy running her mouth about anything in order to stir the pot, recently mouthed off about her former employer, Tyra Banks, calling her “soulless, heartless, and cold.”
We hung out with Cutrone recently (more on that later) and she told us she’s “gotten really close with Tyra.” So what did she think about the choice words Dickinson had for her Top Model boss?
Dressing Up Zuckerberg: Zuckerberg may be disgustingly rich now, but even ringing the NASDAQ bell to celebrate taking Facebook public wasn’t enough to get the Zuckster out of that damn hoodie. We got some of our favorite stylish dudes to play dress up with the Face of Facebook.
Delivery.com-Addicted Assistant Steals from Kelly Cutrone: We would never steal a seat from PR powerhouse Kelly Cutrone, let alone money, but that’s just what one crazypants assistant did. We talked to Cutrone, and she shared more unbelievable details about the situation. Good luck finding a fashion job now, kiddo.
Carrie Bradshaw’s Life Changing Accessory: According to Sarah Jessica Parker and Patricia Fields, our beloved Carrie Bradshaw may never have become the fashion plate we know her as without the Fendi Baguette.
Kim K Will Be in Vogue: It’s happening whether Anna Wintour likes it or not: Kim Kardashian will appear in L’Uomo Vogue. Kim Kardashian! In a Vogue!
After all the buzz about bloggers replacing America’s Next Top Model long-standing cast members (who were let go a month ago), the show has finally announced the new additions to the team, and there’s not a blogger in sight.
