Looking Back at the Fall Runway Trends; What Stuck, What Didn’t

Posted: 24 Jan 2011 03:02 PM PST

Every fashion season we watch the shows to see what trends will emerge–what will we be wearing in the coming months? Some trends last for up to two years, others are merely a flash on the runway. Camel? That trend is not going anywhere anytime soon. Velvet? Not so much. And we’re not sad about it. So here’s a look back at what stuck and what didn’t from last fall’s runways.

Why Gisele is Likely To Wear Balenciaga on Emmanuelle Alt’s First Vogue Paris Cover

Posted: 24 Jan 2011 01:41 PM PST

News just broke that Gisele Bündchen will cover Emmanuelle Alt‘s first issue of Vogue Paris. It should hit newsstands in March.

Modelinia reports that the Super was shot in St. Barts by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matatin. But what will she wear?

We’d bet several dollars–if it wasn’t, you know, illegal–that Bündchen will be decked out in Balenciaga for this spread.

Raf Simons Men’s Fall 2011: Rise of the Craftsman

Posted: 24 Jan 2011 01:30 PM PST

Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt.

Paris–You know something is in the air in menswear when one of the most prolific and perhaps most experimental designers–at least in terms of creating new shapes and using new technical materials–espouses a return to the endangered art of craftsmanship. Raf Simons did just that with his fall show.

I remember seeing Mr. Simons' clothes for the first time in the January 1995 at a small showroom in Milano, where he presented extremely tight single-breasted suits in dark grey and black wool. They were inspired by the culture surrounding English schoolboys. But that was when Tom Ford's Gucci era was getting underway. Those hyper-sexually-charged clothes dominated for the next decade. What Simons did that–and does now–is embrace a counter current ambiance.

John Galliano Fall 2011 Men’s: Nureyev For All Seasons

Posted: 24 Jan 2011 12:30 PM PST

Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt.

PARIS–When the lights dimmed inside the Couvent des Cordeliers in the heart of Paris' university district, a shadow could be seen lurking towards the piano, covered with a large tan fox fur cashmere blanket. The shadow began playing a concerto while snow was dripping against the ray of a white spotlight at the end of the platform. From under the snow came an unshaven model wearing a dark grey washed leather coat with olive sleeves, a navy wool tweed coat, cotton shirt, and knit wool scarf each layered one upon another and belted at the waist. He also wore a charcoal wool twill pant, grey socks with open knit fringes and broken-in leather shoes. White snowflakes were scattered atop the model’s black fox fur hat.

That was one version of the early twentieth century émigrés from Soviet Russia that John Galliano imagined and recreated for his fall show. Another look was a beefy charcoal wool coat with a fur lapel and gold trim worn by a Rasputin look-alike.

The collection was based on the life of the dashing ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, spanning from the revolution to his years of exile in London, as captured by the lens of photographer Irving Penn.

Fashion Heir Jennifer Missoni Will Star in Three Episodes of Gossip Girl

Move over, Margherita. There’s a new family ingenue in town. Actress Jennifer Missoni, daughter of Luca, will star in three Gossip Girl episodes this February, as well as Playback, a soon-to-be released film starring Christian Slater.

We love the Missoni women–each generation is as glamorous as the next–so we’re excited to see what Jennifer is capable of.

Tune in February 14 to see her Gossip Girl debut, where she plays Donna, a character “very serious about her job.” We’re assuming it has something to do with Fashion Week?

Linda Rodin Makes No Ridiculous Claims About Her Oils

Posted: 24 Jan 2011 11:30 AM PST

Fashion and beauty obviously go hand-in-hand, and we frequently see crossover between the two. Emily Weiss' stellar IntoTheGloss beauty blog is one example. Linda Rodin and her Olio Russo line is another.

Linda, a 40-year veteran of the fashion industry, has been a shop owner (she opened one of the first boutiques in SoHo), a designer, and a stylist whose resume reads like a Who's Who of modern fashion. She started as a stylist at Henri Bendel and became a fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar in the 1980s. She then became a freelance stylist working for the likes of Herb Ritts and Richard Avedon, to name but a few. She's dressed every single Super from the 80s and 90s (Cindy! Linda! Helena!) Her main styling gig now is for Victoria's Secret.

Because of Linda's job, she has access to every beauty potion available; she scoffed at their claims and wanted something much simpler. So she decided to make her own.

Paris Men’s Fashion Flash: Lacroix Relaunches, Willhelm Goes To the Jungle, Demeulemesteer Does Edward Scissorhands

Posted: 24 Jan 2011 10:00 AM PST

PARIS–Lacroix is back, ladies and gentlemen–sans Christian, alas. When the house closed in 2009 after going through severe financial trouble, we mourned its baroque dementia. But today, Sacha Walkhoff, his assistant of 17 years, is in charge. "We are going to run the house very differently than we once did," said Walkhoff, "we are currently developing lots of licenses, and are starting by relaunching Lacroix homme. We'll wait a little longer to restart women."

The line, shown through a presentation at the Maria Luisa boutique themed around “migrating boys,” was for elegant globetrotters: Suits with flowery seams and lining, spurts of color and button badges. "Lacroix, Chapter Two" as Walkhoff put it.

Bernhard Willhelm did his usual nutty number: the Solomon de Rotschild private mansion in Paris was taken over and transformed into a gigantic performance that looked like Willy Wonka going off to the jungle.

Dior Homme Fall 2011: Amish Adolescents

Posted: 24 Jan 2011 08:45 AM PST

PARIS–What does it say when the crowd is more abuzz about Karl Lagerfeld, and, ugh, Puff Daddy, than the clothes? That’s the question I was fretting over before the Dior presentation. But by the end, I was reminded that it’s not a crowd that makes a collection.

Kriss Van Assche's line for Dior Homme is a study in clean lines and exact silhouettes. I've already used the Jedi metaphor, and the Amish one, but Van Assche's Dior really merits the same comparisons, except more flowing; this is Jedi School; Amish adolescents. Many of his looks were incredibly loose, and free, despite their attempted adhesion to Van Assche's calculated silhouettes and restrained, almost sullen palette of gray, black and brown (and like, many others this season, one or two points of red…as if a touch of blood is needed to indicate a pulse). The Amish hats said "I'm going to study in silence," while the layered wools and billowing pants said "I'm seventeen and it's time for Rumspringa!"

The collection was presented in a gigantic hall, nearly empty except for six lucite chandeliers and several white fireplaces against the rear wall.
