From working with legendary Harper's Bazaar editor in chief Liz Tilberis to editing hundreds of "Who Wore It Best" columns for Us Weekly, fashion editor Sasha Charnin Morrison is one of the industry's most interesting stars.
The Clothes: This season, Nanette Lepore disproved the adage "It isn't easy being green." Not only is it easy being green, but it's pretty darn cool,
It’s not Ryan Lochte or even Lauren Conrad who’s been turning the most heads this New York Fashion Week. The sartorially-blessed mother and daughter duo, celeb stylist June Ambrose and seven-year-old daughter Summer Chamblain, have been everywhere this season. It's been hard to miss the fabulously styled twosome; the grade schooler alone has a headwear collection to rival Anna Dello Russo’s. We caught a second with June and Summer before the hot mess of a Custo Barcelona show for a majorly heartwarming and fashion frenzy palate-cleansing moment.
The Clothes: Roland certainly wasn't afraid to serve up some drama this season. The color palette may have been almost exclusively black and white (wi
For the past year or so, Marissa Cooper Mischa Barton has been making more of an effort than ever to stage a successful comeback. She emerged from
The Limited and White House|Black Market to Roll Out Some Serious Spring Campaigns: The two retailers aren't playing games this season in the ad department. The Limited has tapped Karolina Kurkova to front their spring ad campaign, and it's costing them a pretty penny; "in the $10 million range," dished an insider. Meanwhile, White House|Black Market is also making moves, hiring Coco Rocha to star in a TV spot, which will air on Monday. You know what they say, gotta spend money to make money! {WWD subscription required} June Ambrose is Working on A Clothing Line: Far be it from the famed stylist to leave the masses without clothes to go with their June Ambrose brand turbans and sunglasses. The stylist to the stars told the YBF that she is releasing a contemporary women's clothing line, which she hopes will be out this fall. {The YBF} Hanneli Mustaparta is Tweeting for Calvin Klein Today: The model-turned-blogger will be giving Calvin Klein's Twitter followers an inside look at what's popping backstage, and the show's star-studded front row. (What, no coverage on the pending OWS protest?) Mustaparta is also going to be the woman behind the brand's soon-to-launch Tumblr. {WWD subscription required}
June Ambrose is Getting a VH1 Show: The stylist to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys will get her own show in early 2012, but don't expect a Rachel Zoe copy; she'll dress her big clients but also give style and brand advice to emerging talents. {Stylelist} Your Exclusive Prada Bag Is Actually Made in India: Prada used to source their materials from India and ship them to Italy, but now they're cutting out the shipping costs by making them at the source and then charging more for the cheaper-made piece. They're reasoning? The "Made In India" label is exclusive. {Racked} Lady Gaga Sued Her Own Fan Site: Gaga's team sued the operators of LadyGaga.org (est: 2008) claiming they “intentionally registered the domain name to capitalize on Lady Gaga’s fame." But the site doesn't actually make any money, only gives love to their Queen, so the courts ruled against it. Odd for someone who claims to love her fans so much, don't you think? {Styleite}
This week's party highlights were for two very different brands, but both drew a similarly fabulous crowd (especially stylish Brits) and memorable music performances. Hayley danced the night away and drank margs with Alexa Chung Monday, while Dhani took in an amazing performance by Karen Elson and chatted with Mischa Barton Tuesday. Read on for deets and pics! On Monday, Mulberry celebrated their 40th birthday in only the way that the quirky-cool English brand could pull off: With an all-out rager atop the Skylight Studios and all of fashion's cool crowd in attendance.
Between heightened security, including a row of cop cars lining Columbus Street in front of Lincoln Center, and moments of silence to remember lives lost, the 10 year anniversary of September 11 was clearly at the forefront of everyone’s mind today. The shows still went on, so we caught up with fashion insiders and show-goers to find out how they were commemorating and coping with the fated day. Here's how the fashion community and celebrities are responding to the tragedy: Fern Mallis: “The first year we moved shows to London because nobody could cope with it. I canceled everything after Liz Lange’s show and was running around the tents telling people they had to clear the venue and stop what they were doing and tell people what happened. After the first season or two, we realized you can’t not go on. They win if we all stop doing everything that we do." Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Lincoln Center’s Director of Fashion: “There was a moment of silence for each time the planes hit here at Lincoln Center and many designers have donated to the 9/11 fund. But it’s a big business for NYC so the show has to go on, but with vigilance and remembrance."
Tracy Reese was feeling nostalgic Wednesday night as she celebrated her flagship’s five year anniversary. “I remember when we had our opening party,” Reese said. “I was trying to put things to bed at the office to get down here for the party but I got here 15 minutes late. Then it turned out that Anna Wintour got here 15 minutes earlier and totally was leaving as I walked in the door! I just still can’t believe I wasn’t there when she got here,” she confessed. Clearly, Reese has come a long way since her self-described fashion faux pas, with a client list including celebs from Alicia Keys to Michelle Obama. “I still have a total freak out when I see Michelle wearing my clothes,” she said.
