Day four of NYFW was basically heaven on earth. In the past 12 hours, we saw Chloe Sevigny modeling her own collection for Opening Ceremony, Alexander Wang prove that he’s got the skills for Wanglenciaga Balenciaga, and went backstage at all the shows including Wang, Prabal Gurung, Louise Goldin, and more.

New York is unreasonably cold right now. Like impending-blizzard-freeze-your-Rag & Bone-covered-butt-off cold. This is exactly why we, and fashionistas nowhere near New York, are praising the fashion gods (more like IMG & various PR people) for the glorious amount of New York fashion week shows livestreaming this week.

You won’t be judged for taking in these shows in your pjs over some popcorn or pizza or half a bottle of wine…

London Spring 2011 was hands down my favorite fashion week ever. Shocked, are you? Once you feel the energy, see the masterful technique, and find yourself wide-eyed by the innovation, you’ll understand where I’m coming from. Here are my ten favorites.
Additionally, I must send out a big thanks to Swarvoski, not only because they sponsored my trip to the UK, but also because they underwrote almost all of the very best shows at LFW. If not for them, some of these collection mightn’t have happened.
Swarovski just released the list of shows it’ll be sponsoring for Spring 2011. The roster is long, but distinguished:
Prabal Gurung
Juan Carlos Obando
Erdem
GILES
Marios Schwab
Richard Nicoll
Mark Fast
JW Anderson
Holly Fulton
Henry Holland
Michael van der Ham
Louise Goldin
What does a Swarovski sponsorship afford designers?
FW09 was the season of the Bad Girl, epitomized by Balmain’s super-short mini dresses and edgy shoulders. Nowadays, the masses are sporting studs, metal hardware, chunky black boots, etc. It’s an overall hardcore look that’s available to purchase everywhere from Barneys to Forever 21. So naturally it’s time for a black backlash. Technically the backlash Read more →
We already mentioned five things we need from London, here’s ten more pieces we want now–not next fall.
The Brit’s are taking a cue from our successful CFDA/Vogue Fashion fund; Vogue UK and the British Fashion Council have teamed up for the sake of their country’s flourishing young design talent and formed the BFC Vogue Designer Fashion Fund.

Wearing socks with sandals is usually listed near the top of any fashion don’t list. Last fall, everyone welcomed tights with open toes.

WHICH group of fashion show go-ers rolled up to Louise Goldin an hour after the show had finished? They just couldn’t understand how she dare put her models on the runway without their particular presence.
