CFDA v. British Fashion Council: Which Group Gets More Help From The Government? Posted: 02 Jun 2010 02:30 PM PDT
While we in no way think that the CFDA is to blame in this circumstance–what they do each year for fledgling designers is beyond admirable–we do wonder if the government could have chipped in a little more money so that the designers could work in the space at no cost. Most self-funded designers work out of their own homes. Which means spending $1,5000-$2,000 a month–even if that number is minimal compared to the typical cost of a similar space–is near-impossible. For this particular initiative, the City of New York shelled out $200,000. And while it’s a good step, it still pales in comparison to what the City of London has done for the British Fashion Council. Case in point: New York’s $200,000 grant supports the Incubator space for the next three years, and remember, the designers still have to pay a good chunk of money to occupy it. Conversely, the City of London awarded the British Fashion Council a £4.2 million (about $5.2 million) grant in 2007 to be dispersed over the course of four years. Do you think the CFDA should lobby the City of New York for more cash? Or should it continue to rely on corporate backers to get things done? |

Analyzing Karl Lagerfeld’s Photos of Claudia Schiffer Posted: 02 Jun 2010 12:49 PM PDT
Styling Claudia in six wildly different ways for the cover, Karl banks on the viewer’s ability to recognize the pop culture references implied. While they’re meant to be iconic and kitschy, blackface is never a good idea. Click through to see our take on each image. |

Love Tilda Swinton? Win a Bottle of Her New Perfume Posted: 02 Jun 2010 11:20 AM PDT
The complex blend of neroli, mandarin, pumpkin flesh–combined with powdered ginger, immortelle, rose, heliotrope and vetiver–does the eccentric actress justice. Lucky Scent, the first US e-tailer to carry the fragrance, is offering up two bottles for Fashionista readers. Tell us in 50 words or less why you love Tilda’s style in the comments section below. The two best answers will be scent a 50ml bottle of like this worth $99. Good luck! (P.S. Make sure to include the correct email address in your Disqus profile–that’s how we’ll notify the winners.) |
Talking Hats with Milliner Ellen Christine Posted: 02 Jun 2010 10:40 AM PDT
Originally a costume designer, Christine stumbled into millinery when a director demanded an elaborate helmet for a scene. It was all hats from there on out. Even with the accidental start, Ellen calls her job “a metier, a calling.” And when you’re that good, we’d believe it. She most recently crowned Linda Evangelista in W and added some mouse ears to Tina Fey in Vogue. Click through for her advice in selecting the perfect hat for you! Regardless of your face shape, Ellen says there’s a cloche out there for everyone, you just have to take the time to find it. And if you don’t dig on the cloche, adhere to the hottest new trend in head pieces: Cocktail hats. Ellen says they’re like “candies,” full of feathers and flounce that are appropriate for everyone from teens to middle-aged socialites. But the best advice we learned was to always “give it a dip,” as she learned from her grandmother, meaning that a hat on the diagonal is a surefire hit. |
Central St. Martins Graduate Show: The Clothes, The Designers, The Stars Posted: 02 Jun 2010 09:51 AM PDT
Alumni Gareth Pugh and Jean-Pierre Braganza sat shoulder to shoulder with art world heavies including the ever-colorful Grayson Perry and even Met Costume Institute director Harold Koda was caught wide-eyed and grinning. Judges included designer Marios Schwab, Hilary Alexander from The Telegraph and fashion film maker Kathryn Ferguson. Winners were presented with cash awards up to ₤1,000 from Fashion Fringe, now in its seventh year supporting emerging designers. L’Oreal was also on deck celebrating its 10th year in collaboration with St. Martins. Winner: Yi Fang Wan, who presented a sophisticated collection of voluminous neutral-hued cottons and linens gathered heavily and balanced with open backs. 2nd Runner Up: Alex Mullins took full advantage of the freedom a BA course at CSM offers and went uber playful with oversized space dyed fringe and surrealist prints. Honorable Mentions went to print wear student Eloise Jephson for her impossibly feminine printed silks bearing fantastical creatures, and for show-stopping knitwear designer Sorcha O’Raghallaigh whose entire collection strutted down the catwalk on professional stilt-walkers to resounding applause from an utterly bemused fashion set (no small feat).

Elizabeth and James Introduces Sunnies Posted: 02 Jun 2010 08:45 AM PDT
The two styles–the Hudson, a bold aviator; and the Fairfax, a perfect cat’s eye–retail at $185 and will hit stores in the near future. (The aviators are meant to be unisex.) There’s also a limited edition pair–featuring 24K gold mirror lenses–going for $425. While I personally prefer to find the The Row on sale than Elizabeth and James at full price, there’s no denying that the latter boasts a kind of cult following amongst certain fashion-obsessed women. I have plenty of friends who say E and J is their go-to contemporary brand. And when it comes to sunglasses, the Fairfax style is one of the best cat-eyes out there, regardless of the label. I’m definitely planning on picking up a pair and wearing them with a boyfriend blazer from The Row. The full-on collection, which hits stores next spring, will be priced from $155 to $265. |
