Attend New York Fashion Week From Your Couch: A Complete List of Shows Livestreaming This Week

by

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!

More on the DVF X HP Fashion’s Night Out Event

by

A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned that Diane Von Furstenberg is collaborating with HP on a Fashion’s Night Out event to be held at her Meatpacking District studio. Guests will be able to play with fancy new HP technology as well as a photo booth where participants can pose in DVF looks and print the images on wireless printers.

We’ve already touched on the trend of tech companies trying to target girls and this isn’t the first step HP has taken to build a presence within the fashion world. Last year, the computer makers collaborated on a laptop with Vivienne Tam, which debuted in her Spring 2010 runway show. In March, Project Runway contestants were challenged to create fabric patterns on HP computers and turn them into actual garments. Tam guest judged. HP also did a collaboration with Sex and the City 2.

Furstenberg isn’t typically big on collaborations, but we think it would be interesting and not so surprising if a DVF-designed HP laptop came out of this event.

Do You Want Your Gadgets to Be Girly?

by

So, my new iPhone is scheduled to arrive in the mail today. And I’m really excited. I’ve owned my original iPhone for two years now, and I’m ready for a change. The iPhone was the first phone I ever spent more than $30 on–mostly because in the past, I’ve found most hand held devices available in the US to be downright ugly.

Which brings me to my next point: Today I received a pitch about Sony’s new designs for its VAIO EA-Series Signature Collection. The laptops, with an etched pattern called “Arabesque,” are available in pink, black, and gold.

Let me be clear. These aren’t horrible looking. But they aren’t amazing, either.

The issue? The suits running Sony–and companies like Sony–don’t get what women want.

At the Rachel Roy presentation last season, we plopped ourselves down on a bench in the lobby of the of IAC building and posted about the show as it was still going on. Some people figured we were blogging, some people probably figured we were on Facebook, and Sessilee Lopez just smiled because she overheard Read more →
