Attend New York Fashion Week From Your Couch: A Complete List of Shows Livestreaming This Week
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. We wrangled 89 shows (89!) and presentations to tune into over the course of the next week…with even more coming in! The best part? You won’t be judged for taking in these shows in your pjs over some popcorn or pizza or half a bottle of wine…
See any shows we missed? Let us know!

The Fashion Crowd Weighs in On the ‘Made in America’ Debate–Can Anyone Really Afford to Produce Domestically?
The controversy over Ralph Lauren’s Chinese-produced Team USA uniforms has raised a bigger question in the fashion community: Is making affordable clothing in America a feasible option for any designer? That was the hot issue for some of the designers and fashion personalities who attended the Project Runway 10th Anniversary Party held in Chelsea last night–and while most agreed that the Team USA uni production ideally should’ve happened domestically, the empathetic laments about the cost (and feasibility) of producing locally proved to be a common thread.
Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet touched on Lauren (whom she called “pretty friggin’ awesome”) being unfairly singled out for this “misshap”

Furor Over Chinese-Made Ralph Lauren-Designed US Olympic Uniforms Reaches Boiling Point as Senator Harry Reid Calls for Uniforms To Be ‘Burned’
In this contentious election year, Democrats and Republicans have found an issue to bond over in shared outrage: the Ralph Lauren Olympic athlete uniforms. When the Opening Ceremony outfits were revealed earlier this week, the commentary was limited to the aesthetics (those berets proved to be highly divisive) but now it’s become a little darker. Turns out the entire uniform was manufactured in China, and Americans–from designers to Congress–are chafing.

10 Questions for Project Runway All Stars
1. Do you think Angela Lindvall is going to be happy when the season is finally over?
2. Where else on television could you witness two people fighting over their individual sketching abilities?
3. Did Prada pay to have their storefront in one of those NYC skyline montages?
4. Kenley, didn’t peacocks have their moment three years ago?
5. I’m sorry Michael, but since when are Nanette Lepore’s clothes beachy and ready for the cabana?

Nanette’s Shoes
We love seeing expansion in the fashion business anywhere we can find it these days. This sunny August morning it comes from Nanette Lepore who will be adding more shoes to her pretty party dresses come spring. The designer launched a capsule collection a couple years ago, but this new range (via a license with Read more →

Adventures in Copyright: NSFW
Forever 21′s over Marc. They’ve moved on from Diane. Like department stores promoting young designers mid-recession, they’re focusing on copying smaller names. OK, so it’s probably not such a conscious downgrade to lesser known designers, but they’re ripping off Nanette Lepore and she seems like the kind of designer you guys would get behind. We’re Read more →

Have Celebs Deserted Fashion Week?
Memo to celebrity publicists: If you have a cute client who needs a little push, RSVP her to a fashion show. We’ve been hearing from PR Blackberries around the city that so far, there are way less celeb confirmations than in the past – in part because MTV’s Video Music Awards happen at the exact Read more →

Natalie Goes to Nanette Lepore
If you’re patient enough to wait in a 40-person line at the Nanette Lepore sample sale, you might as well carry some bags full of cheap but fabulous goodies back down in the elevator – and did we mention the elevator line is just as long? That said, the Nanette Lepore sample sale does have Read more →

Straw to Gold
We are in love with these raffia flats from the newer Spring/Summer installment of Keds by Nanette Lepore, which are made from the leaves of palm trees in Madagascar. It’s all about the contrast of the natural color of the raffia with the green piping on the bows and the leopard print lining. Of all Read more →
