"Street style has ruined EVERYTHING," a friend of mine exclaimed on GChat after spending an extensive amount of time—which is like, five minutes in GChat world—trying to think of industry eccentrics whose outfits are cooler than the typical street style fodder. What she meant, I think, was that while more people look really good during the shows, less people look really weird. And that's too bad, because the odd ones are what make fashion week—and fashion in general—so great. Click through for seven unorthodox street style stars you should look out for at the tents.
Lynn Yaeger, who's always been a pretty straight shooter, set out on a "thrifting spree" inspired by Hedi Slimane's "California grunge"-inspired fall 2013 Saint Laurent collection--which she chronicled for Vogue.com. What resulted is an article that, without explicitly stating anything negative about the collection, definitely calls it into question more than we would ever expect from an outlet like Vogue.
The light at the end of the tunnel is near as we power through day seven of New York Fashion Week. Or maybe we're just still thinking about the fluorescent lights at Rodarte's show this afternoon? Either way, fashion week is almost over, so we've been snap-happy trying to take in all of its goodness before it's too late. Here's what we saw today.
After 300-plus shows, it's no wonder we're still reeling. But while the calendar may have been jam-packed, there are only a few collections that really make headlines--which is why we've compiled the ultimate crib sheet of the season's most important shows and what all the major critics had to say about them. We've poured through every review (we mean that literally) for qualifying adjectives and other bon mots from The New York Times' Cathy Horyn, Eric Wilson, and the International Herald Tribune's Suzy Menkes; Style.com's Nicole Phelps and Meenal Mistry; Vogue.com's Sarah Mower, Hamish Bowles, and Mark Holgate; Samantha Critchell for the Associated Press; Lynn Yaeger for New York, and a host of other friends and bloggers. The result is a comprehensive guide to the season's most well-reviewed shows--from Jason Wu to Marc Jacobs. Which designers came out on top? Flash back with us now. You don't have to take our word for it.

Reasons why Nicki Minaj might’ve felt more at home at Betsey Johnson yesterday than she did at Carolina Herrera: - Her seatmate, the fabulously unconventional Lynn Yaeger (instead of buttoned-up Anna Wintour). - Her blue afro, sure to get the stamp of approval from Johnson, who stocked the gift bags with scented fuchsia hair extensions. - Her song “Fly”, which played as the opening music, and drew a humble laugh from the singer. - And, of course, the clothes. If there’s a designer for Minaj other than, say, The Blonds, it’s Betsey Johnson. Last night, the hip-hop star’s outrageous rainbow ensemble helped her stand out from the audience, but the models? Not so much. Which is kinda great, because as much as we love surprising celebrity show choices, it’s also nice to see fashion week pairings that just make sense.

ISTANBUL--Istanbul Fashion Week may be new, but it's not lacking for bold faced names in the front row. Pat Field is a fixture, which makes sense, since Istanbul Fashion Week's press kit says she "aims to introduce the Turkish brands and designers to the world and to turn Istanbul into an effective fashion center." It's a tall order, but if anyone can make Istanbul happen, it's Pat Field. The vibrant colors and energy of Istanbul are right up her alley. In addition to Field, fashion stars abound. Anna Piaggi is here, and she gets a deserved applause when she enters the venue. So is ELLE's Kate Lanphear, Lynn Yaeger, Alexandra Richards and Olivier Zahm (with daughter in tow). Alek Wek has also been spotted. And according to twitter, LOVE covergirl Alessandra Ambrosio just touched down at Ataturk Airport hours ago, where she was surprised to find paps waiting for her at immigration. We're looking forward to seeing her walk tomorrow.
