Proenza Schouler Fall 2013: An Exercise in Restraint

Top editors, buyers and celebrities (like Liv Tyler and Elizabeth Olsen) are willing to schlep anywhere for Proenza Schouler–even to a decrepit (albeit gorgeous) building by City Hall with no heating in the middle of the winter (it was the setting for the label’s fall 2013 show). That’s because designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez consistently put out one of the best collections every New York fashion week. And last night was no exception.

This was a more refined, restrained collection from McCollough and Hernandez.

Sex and the City Perfume Exists: And it is the fragrance most confiscated by customs officers. Of 138 commercial perfume shipments the Customs and Border Protection’s Intellectual Property Rights “National Targeting and Analysis Group” monitored in Los Angeles, 52 were busted for the phony SATC scent. Who knew? {WWD subscription required}

Andrej Pejic Was on a Roof in New York: The gorgeous model was spotted shooting with photographer Sebastien Micke for an unknown project. One of the outfits is a very skimpy bandage-style bathing suit. So stunning that it makes us want to stop complaining about having small boobs. {Telegraph UK}

Let Liv Tyler Serenade You, Compliments of Givenchy: The actress is set to make her singing debut to promote the fragrance, Very Irresistable Givenchy. We’re tempted to be wary of a corporate-sponsored jam, but Steven Tyler is her dad. {WWD subscription required }

Mario Lopez Launches Underwear Line: This holiday season, your man deserves underwear with the A.C. Slater stamp of approval. Mario Lopez’s new underwear line RatedM is available on freshpair.com, and will be in Bloomingdale’s stores starting February.

Lindsay Lohan Playboy Cover Leaks: Seven days before it’s set to hit newsstands, Lindsay Lohan’s Playboy cover has been leaked on the interwebs. Not that it needed to be. It’s typical Lindsay: blonde hair, fresh lip injections, big hair. And we kinda love that Playboy bunny chair. {Buzzfeed}

The latest rumors in the post-Galliano Dior saga say that LVMH is definitely interested in Alexander Wang, but, according to Vogue UK, for “other reasons”– i.e. not as the designer for Dior. {Vogue UK}

Karl Lagerfeld’s NY Apt on the Market: No one’s really sure whether Karl ever actually stayed in this 3-bedroom Gramercy Park pad, but for a cool (recently reduced!) $5.2 mil you can get a taste of what it’s like to live like the Kaiser. {Curbed NY}

Anna Wintour Invited Nicki Minaj to NYFW: Turns out those hilarious photo ops were more deliberate than we thought. Minaj told radio station Z100 that Wintour had personally invited her to the Carolina Herrera show, and later sent the rapper a framed photo of the odd pairing, inscribed “We match!” {NY Daily News}

Why Liv Tyler Has Been Looking Amazing Lately: She’s Been Working With Annabel Tollman

Why Liv Tyler Has Been Looking Amazing Lately: She’s Been Working With Annabel Tollman

We’ve loved Liv Tyler since the “Crazy” video and Empire Records, but, save for her amazing ’90s style in both, we’ve always found her sartorial choices a little…safe. However, she has been seriously stepping it up lately. From the amazing Proenza fall 2011 dress she wore to the CFDAs to the sleek Stella McCartney number she just showed up to a premiere in, the actress has been making some pretty exceptional outfit choices. No wonder–we hear she’s been having a little help from stylist Annabel Tollman, who has worked with Jessica Simpson and Scarlett Johansson and other celebs.

In the past, Liv has claimed that she doesn’t typically use a stylist. She has worked a bit with Rachel Zoe–she even made a guest appearance on an episode of The Rachel Zoe Project, where she had Zoe help her shop for every day clothes. Ironically, Tollman is set to star in her own Bravo reality show this fall.

All we know is Liv doesn’t seem to have made one red carpet mistake over the past few months, plus, is it just us or has she been looking unusually svelte? Here’s a look at Liv’s best recent looks.

Runway Vs. the Celeb Way: A Look At How Celebrities Have Altered Runway Looks for the Red Carpet

It’s good to be a celebrity. One of the many perks that comes along with the job, if you’re a hot young A-lister, is the opportunity to wear just about any runway or couture look that you or your stylist likes. And when you’re celebrity of that caliber, the world’s top designers will do just about anything to dress you–including altering their runway creations to your liking. Recall, if you will, that episode of the Rachel Zoe Project when the stylist musters up the courage to ask the Kaiser himself to alter one of his couture creations for Cameron Diaz to make it appeal more to the American masses.

With Cannes, the Met Ball, and the Oscars in recent memory, we’ve compiled a slideshow of starlets who wore looks right off the runway, with some minor changes made. The question is, which do you like better: The original runway versions more or the alterations made to please the stars?
