It’s been a big year for Creatures of the Wind designers Shane Gabier and Chris Peters. The Chicao-based pair, who, if you’ve been watching the addictive Hulu series “The Fashion Fund,” you’ll know are a couple, were recently named runners up for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, which, in terms of exposure and validation, is basically Read more →
The British Fashion Council has just announced the nominees for the 2011 British Fashion Awards, which are essentially the U.K.’s answer to our prestigious CFDA’s. The ceremony, which is scheduled for November 28, is meant to recognize the most influential people in fashion today and also promote the growth of British fashion.
With all the attention the U.K. has been getting lately for that stylish princess of theirs and being dubbed the “new fashion capital,” British fashion is definitely more relevant than ever this year. That may be why the BFC has decided to re-introduce the Red Carpet award, which “gives recognition to a British designer who is creating global awareness of their designs in the media.”
From Kim Jones to Stella McCartney to Erdem, here are all the nominees:
She’s only been in Canada for three days–and it’s still early on the west coast–but Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton has already managed to wear six outfits, with more on the way.
Not Following In Her Mom’s Footsteps: Bee Shaffer, Anna Wintour’s 23-year-old daughter, is headed to LA to work for Glee creator Ryan Murphy’s production company. {Gatecrasher}
Kim Kardashian Keeps Getting Richer: Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz has invested $40 million in Kim Kardashian’s shoe and accessory site ShoeDazzle.com. Yes, that’s the same site that lets Kirsten Cavillari design shoes. {WWD subscription required}
Ivanka Trump Is a Preggers Playboy Bunny for Bazaar: So, Harper’s Bazaar got Ivanka Trump to dress like a Playboy bunny whilst pregnant and then photographed her. As Chris Rovzar said over on Daily Intel, “What the hell?” {Daily Intel}
Does the fashion world Love Justin Bieber? A source inside Conde Nast has confirmed to us that the Biebs is being shot for the British fashion mag and Tabitha Simmons is styling. We’re not sure in what capacity he is being shot–we’d be surprised if it’s the cover, but it’s a possibility. Tabitha Simmons is really big, and Justin Bieber is obviously a huge star, though his fan base is presumably younger than most Love readers.
Plus, he’s no stranger to fashion glossies. He was in Elle‘s September issue with Kim Kardashian, and has had spreads in Interview and V Man.
Last night, I got a taste of what New York Fashion Week would be like if it was produced by Anna Wintour. Every show would begin on time. Only the best of the best designers would be invited to participate. And the music would be very, very good.
That pretty much sums up Fashion’s Night Out: The Show, which took place last night at the courtyard in Lincoln Center. Over a 1,000 looks–styled by Tabitha Simmons and Edward Enninful–stomped down a twisting runway that must have been a quarter of a mile long in total. Everyone–from Alex Wang to Balenciaga–was featured. Simmons and Enninful chose to style the models as they were originally styled, meaning Prada‘s girls got boufants, and Balenciaga’s wore pastel eyebrows. It was unoriginal, but with so many looks, understandable. Pretty much every model working today walked, including favorites of mine like Dree Hemingway and Ashley Smith. Gisele even made an appearance near the end, shortly after NERD performed in the center of the venue.
The paper program was masterful, save for a weirdly photo-shopped Lara Stone on the cover. (A friend said that her waist “looked tinier than Karly’s–creepy.”) Every single clothing credit was included, which is a two day-long job on its own.
All in all, it was a successful event. Especially for those who hadn’t seen these looks come down the runway last February.
