In the wake of Cathy Horyn’s proclamation, Style.com chooses their top shows for Spring ’08, including Marc and also Lanvin, Rodarte, Prada, and Marios Schwab (yeah!). And while we debate whether to list our own favorites – do you really want to know? – we’ve noticed something fun about the Marc show itself: The zaniest [...]
Read more »They’ve played Mellow Yellow on almost every runway in Paris, to the point where it now belongs with memories of Rykiel, not Gap commercials from the ’90s. In fact, if it weren’t for M.I.A. and her relentless hit, Boyz, Mellow Yellow might be the top show song this season. It also might be Spring’s top [...]
Read more »The last ten years, paradoxically, have seen both the shuttering of the couture divisions at more and more houses, and the resurrection of some of the most venerable maisons as ready-to-wear labels. Lanvin, Balenciaga, and Nina Ricci are once again some of the most important names in fashion, and Balmain, Azzaro, Guy Laroche, and Vionnet [...]
Read more »Leave it to Colette to burn the scene at both ends. The “hypercool” french boutique threw a two-in-one bash last night that merged the high fashion pack with the street kids, the same way their store sells Chanel next to Hello Kitty. Bringing the richly heeled was Delfina Fendi, the 19 year old daughter of [...]
Read more »Doubtless, you’ve heard the craziness at Van Cleef & Arpels’ party last night: Despite their massive venue, the fire department deemed the building “too crowded,” and multiple VIPs – basically anyone arriving after 8 – were turned away at the door. So while Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz showed Demi Moore through the packed room, the rest [...]
Read more »Some scoff at the frenzied shopping experience that is the Barney’s Warehouse Sale, but we really love it. Where else can you see Prada sheaths mopping the floor and Louboutins piled up like recycling? If you can deal with the sacrilege, and live in New York, you might want to visit before the sale concludes [...]
Read more »In fashion math, $200 will get you 1 pair of Lanvin flats on sale at Barneys, 10 Tarte lipglosses, or half the sleeve of the Chanel penguin sweater. It could also get you into the Carolina Herrera show. American Express recently announced a deal with IMG – the company producing New York Fashion Week – [...]
Read more »Pretty much everything is going to look cute with some nice big buttons. This concept, plus bows, has been keeping Marc by Marc afloat for years. But for fall, we’re getting more into zippers – and not just on hoodies. Dresses with a big zipper running up the front look fresh and vaguely punk rock, [...]
Read more »If Shakespeare were here, he’d write a coke-fueled comedy about the supposed love triangle between Pete Doherty, Kate Moss, and our favorite model Irina Lazareanu. Instead, we’ve got The Daily Mail, which calls their comedy “Betrayed!” and gives it two pages in today’s paper. Their story: Irina and Pete are back together. Kate Moss is [...]
Read more »Previously on Fashionista, we marveled at W‘s use of Lara Stone. First, the Dutch model writhed on a cracked ice floor, naked and cozy with a giant fur Fendi (it was bright orange, like a traffic cone). Next, Lara posed for Juergen Teller, naked and spread-eagle, and splayed on another giant fur (this one was [...]
Read more »I’ve had terrible things happen to my favorite clothes. I’ve splashed gingerbread batter on a Calvin Klein cashmere sweater. I’ve sent a YSL ankle boot’s heel straight through a subway grate. Once, I got pen on the patent leather toe of a Lanvin pump. In all those instances, though, I knew that I was at [...]
Read more »Usually, when we can’t afford a favorite designer, we wait for their diffusion line. But Alber Elbaz has a different alternative for budget-conscious Lanvin lovers: He’s made them miniature, hand-painted porcelain dolls wearing the collection’s signature looks.
