Band of Outsiders Spring 2012: Solange Knowles and Glee's Ryan Murphy Attend Scott Sternberg's Victorian Picnic
Since
Then came Girl, which I fall more in love with each season. Girl, less structured and girlier than boy, has always had a ‘70s/Virgin Suicides vibe, which could be seen in this season’s offerings, but not in a literal way. Everything was super pretty, from silk georgette fuzzy floral dresses to lace patchwork tops and dip-dyed shorts. I wanted everything.
You can always count on at least one or two cool celebrity attendees at a Band of Outsiders show and this season drew Solange Knowles, who we had seen just an hour earlier at Honor, Glee creator Ryan Murphy and Kevin Mchale, who plays Artie on the show. Although it was his first fashion week, he's not a total newbie. He told us, "I’m newly obsessed with fashion, the past like two years I’ve been getting into it." Favorite brands besides Band? "I went to Loden Dager, I love Loden Dager, they’re amazing. I like to mix and match all kinds of shit. I like Marc Jacobs...but I’m like miniature so it’s hard to find things that actually fit me."

Kevin, along with his Glee castmates, starred in that major Fashion's Night Out promo, which we had to ask him about. "It was awesome, it was so fun to do. We did it in Manchester, England, which was really random but Jake Nava was amazing and it was just so nice that Anna asked us to do that and I’ve never said yes quicker." Sadly, due to Glee's busy work schedule, he didn't get to meet Anna or attend any Fashion's Night Out events. However, he did appear to be super friendly with Bee Shaffer, who attended the show without mom. Other notables included Solange Knowles, Tavi Gevinson, Grace Coddington, and the CFDA's Steven Kolb. It's been a while since Sternberg's been nominated for a CFDA award and we wouldn't be surprised if this collection put him back on their radar.
