First, we headed to midtown for a cocktail reception and screening of Sex and the City 2 at the Paris Theatre. Sponsor HP did a great job at attracting plenty of bold names–and the after party at Bergdorf Goodman, featuring tons of scrumptious Mediterranean snacks, impressed–but it didn’t distract from the fact that the movie disappointed on pretty much every level. To quote Jezebel quoting film critics, it was “insipid,” “condescending,” and “blatantly anti-Muslim,” not to mention anti-woman, anti-love, and in its own way, anti-fashion. We were seriously depressed after the two and a half hour nightmare. (There will be more thoughts from us on the clothes tomorrow, following Steff and Cheryl’s screening of the film tonight.) After a kebab and a cocktail, it was time to move on. Unfortunately, it was too late to stop by Mulberry at Milk, which drew the crowds with Kelis, who performed one of our favorite songs, “Milkshake.” (Man, we can’t believe we missed this!) Those who were able to make it told us that the show was stellar, as was the preview of photographer Venetia Dearden's new book Glastonbury – Another Stage. (The British leather goods house sponsored its publication.) But on a night like this, there can be no regrets, so we trudged along, stopping off at Good Units under the Hudson Hotel, where VMan hosted a fabulous runway show of Scandinavian fashions. Brand featured included Bruuns Bazaar, Cheap Monday, Day Birger et Mikkelsen, and Henrik Vibskov. However, the real story of the evening was the stellar cast of models, including Maggie Rizer, Crystal Renn, Pat Cleveland, and her daughter Anna Van Ravenstein. So, despite the particularly disappointing beginning, our night ended on a particularly high note.

| Gaultier Out at Hermes, Lemaire In Posted: 26 May 2010 01:31 PM PDT
With Gaultier out and Lemaire in, it’s undeniable that Hermes is finally taking a more commercial approach to its ready-to-wear collection. Under the command of Gaultier, and earlier Martin Margiela, Hermes prêt-à-porter gained an avant-garde reputation which, while popular in editorials, was not popular in stores. We’re expecting Lemaire’s first collection, due in March 2011, to be sportswear heavy, helping to transform Hermes’ ready-to-wear collection into a viable business. Hermes, however, still owns nearly half of Gaultier’s own label. While the company says it’s not planning to sell its stock in Jean Paul Gaultier, there are indications that it probably will. Hermes does not own Gaultier’s main money maker, his fragrance license. Beauté Prestige International does, meaning that Hermes only reaps the benefits of Gaultier’s collection, couture, and accessories lines whose sales are not very high. (Sure, it makes some money form the license, but not as much as Beauté Prestige.) If Hermes sells, we’re hoping that a larger conglomerate, like LVMH or PPR, will invest in Jean Paul Gaultier, or else it might be au revoir Jean. Christian Lacroix suffered a similar fate, when after leaving Pucci in 2005, LVMH sold its stake in his label, which was bought by the Falic Group, only to file for bankruptcy four years later.

| Dana Lorenz, Prabal Gurung, Joseph Altuzarra and Simon Spurr Celebrate Swarovski Posted: 26 May 2010 12:06 PM PDT
This morning’s breakfast at Swarovski’s Creative Service Center–which is kind of like a candy store for designers who love crystals instead of kids who love sweets–celebrated the new shine-heavy capsule collection created by the foursome, along with Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, Eddie Borgo, Richard Chai and Patrick Ervell. Each designer, natch, is nominated for the CFDA’s Swarovski Award in his or her respective category. At Swarovski, we got to check out the drawers and drawers of fancy accoutrements used in the company’s collections, which include collaborations with industry stalwarts like Karl Lagerfeld. Then it was time to view the nominees’ pieces, displayed nearby in one of Bergdorf Goodman’s choice windows. We’re particularly fond of Lorenz’s tough-but-pretty choker (shown) and Altuzarra’s tux, but really, it’s all good. Like, “worth a trip to Bergdorf’s to check out the window” good. But for a virtual close-up, see our gallery below.

| Central St. Martin’s Final Selections Announced: See The Designs That Were Left Behind Posted: 26 May 2010 10:31 AM PDT
Why the brouhaha? The 40 graduates who’ll make it into the final press show next Tuesday–the one that’s covered by everyone from Fashionista to Style.com to Vogue UK–were chosen. And while about 80 students were left behind, most of the creations shown in Monday’s preliminary trial were anything but forgettable. A jury of industry experts were invited to weigh in on the epic runway presentation, which included mini collections from all 125 graduates from womenswear, menswear, print, knit and fashion design & marketing. By St. Martins’ professors own admissions, some students–despite strong collections–didn’t make it into next Tuesday’s final show. The goal is to compose a cohesive, balanced and succinct final presentation. Fashion BA course director Willie Walters says that the school’s priorities are never in doubt. “People come to us for creative idea generators, not someone who can design a great high street collection. They can get that from another college.” Here, we bring you a sampling of students whose works you won’t see in the press show next week (which we’ll also be covering, so be sure to check back on June 2). **All photos by Sabrina Morrison

| Newsflash: Miraclebody Jeans Are Not Miraculous Posted: 26 May 2010 08:00 AM PDT
After my review of hello! Skinnyjeans, we received an email from Miraclebody, the company which also makes the time-tested Miraclesuit swimsuit. The company jumped into the jeans market in 2009, and its tag line is "Look 10 pounds lighter in 10 seconds." I think we can all agree that ten pounds is kind of a lot; on me that translates to a size or two. The rise was way too high for all three of us, and we range from 5'4" to 5'9" in height. It was total mom jean territory. The front minimizing panel was uncomfortable, and on the white jeans it was visible through the denim. The back pocket placement seemed too high, and gave my tall ex-dancer friend a completely flat derriere. And no, none of us looked any thinner. I actually really liked the jeggings, though. They were a great indigo color with classic stitching up the side. The waistband was wide and not too constrictive. The jeggings sat pretty flat and didn't look bunched up under a long shirt. But conventional wisdom tells us that jeggings should not be treated like regular pants and should generally be covered up. So what's the point of minimizing panels and butt-lifting that really won't be seen? A positive? The price point was good–$68-$110. They're sold at Saks and Bloomingdale's, among other places. I'm tired of gimmicky clothing. There are tons and tons of great basic jeans out there that become popular because of their quality and value. I guarantee that everyone can find a flattering pair in their price range. Slick marketing and pandering to women's insecurities is not endearing and makes me want to avoid a product. Now, does anyone else want me to try anything on? Isabel Marant, I'd love to try some of your wares!
