Perhaps it was telling that we were blasting The Cranberries’ “Zombie” on our way to Nicholas K’s 9 a.m. show this morning. True to their trademark downtown-meets-military aesthetic, brother/sister duo Nicole and Christopher Kunz sent out a collection that My So-Called Life’s Angela Chase would flip for. A mix of goat hair-trimmed leather toppers, cocoon-like parkas (a Nicholas K signature piece), and plenty of velvet separates in autumnal evergreens and burgundies--the looks seemed straight out the 90s grunge-glam movement. And since those endless layers of leather and wool can swallow a person whole, the designers cinched the silhouettes with plaid button-ups tied offhandedly around the models’ waists. We especially love the skirts (cut in both flannel and leather) that riffed off the same vibe with their built-in “belts” fashioned from actual sleeves. Each look was shown with either combat boots or creepers (the indisputable shoe of the moment). Unfortunately, comfy and cool as they might be, stacked-sole flats aren’t always the best for strutting—one model took not one, but two tumbles in her chunky lace-ups.

Turns out Lindsay Lohan can move product--just not her own. When Lohan showed up to court (again) this past Wednesday, this time to plead not guilty to grand theft charges that she stole a $2,500 necklace, she did so in a Kimberly Ovitz skin-tight white mini dress. We never thought we'd be comparing Lindsay Lohan to Michelle Obama, but just as Mrs. O has proven she can move merch (at J.Crew or White House Black Market or H&M), the Kimberly Ovitz "Glavis Albino" dress Lohan wore, which retails for $575, is selling like hot cakes (and is sold out most places). According to ABC News, the dress has sold out everywhere online, and the NY Post is reporting that Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus have sold out as well. And despite a release we just got from Starworks' VIP placement trumpeting Amy Adams wearing Kimberly Ovitz, an Ovitz rep told the Post that "Kimberly had no role in Lindsay Lohan wearing the dress." Starworks told us Amy Adams was their first placement for Ovitz. Despite the insta-success Lohan has brought Ovitz, she doesn't seem to have had the same effect with her own line of leggings and apparel.

Backstage before the show, designer Kimberly Ovitz warned us this collection would be "a lot darker" than past seasons, and indeed it was: The collection was almost entirely all-black, with a few grey, olive and brown looks thrown in for good measure. Ovitz told us she was inspired by the figure of "the warrior," and that the collection was all about embodying the warrior's attributes: "Perseverance, vitality, vigor," she said. It's hard to say whether or not the clothing conveyed such intangible attributes, but we will say that the belts and necklaces made out of what looked like human hair did seem to send the message: "Don't fuck with me or I'll scalp you."
