Presenting Fashionista’s First-Ever Fashion Oscars: The Industry’s Big Winners

We couldn’t wait a whole year to get re-excited about the Academy Awards! (Honestly, how did we make it last time?) So we had an idea.

“Lo!” we thought (in so many words), “Why not host our own Oscars… for fashion! We’ll save costs by forgoing that whole ‘red carpet’ tomfoolery–who cares about that part anyway! We’ll gather an elite team of the finest online editors in the industry–we won’t disclose their identities, so as to protect their privacy and keep the suspense–and we’ll announce the winners via our fair website! By jove, I think we’ve DONE IT!”

And done it, we did.

Behold, the winners (and almost winners–seriously, Karl, it’s a huge honor that you’re even included in this post) of the first annual Fashionista Fashion Oscars.

Proceed.

Rachel Antonoff Spring 2012: Sweetly Spooky

Rachel Antonoff’s quirky-cool presentations are always a refreshing respite from the sometimes monotonous drone of Fashion Week–In a week where shows and presentations often follow the same formula, Antonoff’s are completely different, unusual and, best of all, pretty fun.

This year, Antonoff took her presentation to darker levels than ever before, looking to unusual sources for inspiration: “It’s sort of Minnie-Mouse-meets-Wednesday-Addams,” she told us. “But for the set we obviously went more Wednesday Addams.” The set, designed by Aux Armes in collaboration with Antonoff, was made to look like the inside of a black and white cartoon, no doubt inspired by the original Addams Family show, complete with spooky tombstones and gothic looking furniture. The models’ slightly undone braids, “a modern take on Wednesday,” Antonoff said, completed the effect–while pal Tennessee Thomas’ tunes made sure the presentation kept a modern flavor.
