| Watch: Jenna Lyons Stars in J.Crew’s New Behind-the-Scenes Film Series Posted: 28 Jan 2011 06:46 AM PST What’s not to love about J.Crew, Jenna Lyons, and Italy? J.Crew premiered the first of their new behind-the-scenes set-in-Italy mini-documentary series on their site yesterday. The first video in the series, called “About a Shoe,” follows creative director and president Jenna Lyons and VP of women’s design Marissa Webb as they visit the factories in Florence that create J.Crew’s shoes, ensuring that Webb’s sketches become the shoes she envisioned. “It seems like magic but in the end you realize it’s totally human,” says Lyons with wonder, in the factory in Florence. “It’s so cool.” The three minute vid does a great job of conveying the craftsmanship that goes into J.Crew’s products. But more compelling is the charming look at the J.Crew family–after squealing with delight when one of her shoes is finished, Webb puts them on immediately during dinner, and uses the length of the crowded restaurant as a catwalk to give them a spin.

| Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2011: London’s Calling Paris Posted: 27 Jan 2011 03:51 PM PST
Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt. PARIS–If London’s punk scene serves as the point of departure for Jean Paul Gaultier‘s spring couture collection, his heart remains in Paris. Even if there were elements that recalled Brit Punk–namely spiked mohawk hair and studded cropped leather jackets–it was only a disguise for a masterfully executed collection featuring Gaultier’s sharp couture skills. Of course, there was also that extra touch of humor that only Gaultier is capable of. Without any music, an announcer (a recording made by Catherine Deneuve) called out each outfit and the girls carried small number cards simulating the couture shows in the post WWII days. Each look was a punk song reference: ‘London Calling’ was a strapless smoking skirt suit with a thigh high split skirt and black fishnets; ‘Anarchy in the U.K.’ was a multicolor smoking suit embroidered with metallic sequins and leather lapels; the last look, a beaded corseted column dress was ‘Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die.’ But no Gaultier couture show is complete without the requisite nautical outfit. This time it took the form of a long-sleeved off-the shoulder dress done in strands of white and dark navy. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

“Am I in it?” Kinder Aggugini asks no one in particular as we watch a promotional video for his new Macy’s collection. The London-based Aggugini, who has worked for the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Versace, is the first designer to sign up for Impulse, the department store’s answer to Target’s Go International collections. (Next up is Matthew Williamson, then Karl Lagerfeld.) His appearance in the video is fleeting, but he’s there–looking very handsome, wearing a leather jacket. But tonight isn’t about Kinder. Well, not really. It’s about his clothes, a mix of dresses, rompers, and jackets all priced at around $100. And while his name might not roll off the tips of most American tongues, Macy’s shoppers won’t be able to deny the strength of this collection. “Here, no one knows what my name is,” Kinder told Fashionista. “I thought, ‘What if I created a collection that people buy because they like it?’ There’s no reason other than because they love the garment and they want to buy it.”

| Snow Day Treat: (Re)Watch This Hilarious Chloe Sevigny Spoof Posted: 27 Jan 2011 01:42 PM PST For some reason I was only just tipped off to these hilarious Chloe Sevigny spoofs starring Drew Droege. And since we’re snowed in in New York today, it seemed like a perfect excuse to watch several of them. Ok, I watched maybe all of them. But this one, in which Droege as Chloe teaches you how to make toast (or to-ast) is my favorite. Mostly because of the way she says Proenza Schouler. Proenza Schoww-lah. Lauren thinks it’s funny because fake Chloe includes “half boots by Chip & Pepper” as part of her to-ast-eating outfit (along with a “mock bonnet by Opening Ceremony and an ironic coin skort by Obesity & Speed”) and “Chloe Sevigny would never actually wear Chip & Pepper.’” It’s all funny. Just watch. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Iris Van Herpen Haute Couture Spring 2011: Digital Meets Art Meets The Real World Posted: 27 Jan 2011 12:17 PM PST
PARIS–Iris Van Herpen is perhaps one of the most creative designers we've seen during couture week. Her clothes are made from materials and techniques that are rarely seen in a fashion studio, ranging from plastics used for product design to methods used in architecture. Her collection yesterday was inspired by digital technology–and that was expressed both in technique and in design. Her clothes are made using various computer programs, which "allows me to obtain results that would be impossible to do entirely by hand,” Iris told us about her trademark fish scale-like plastic materials, created out of thousands of superimposed, hair-thin strips. As for the clothes, they looked like they walked right out of Avatar, and we had to keep reminding ourselves we weren't staring into our computer screen.

| The Proenza Schouler Boys are Giving the Keynote Speech at IFB’s Fashion Week Blogger Conference Posted: 27 Jan 2011 12:10 PM PST
Five years ago, who would have thought someone could make a viable and profitable career out of…well…fashion blogging? It’s safe to say that a certain set of bloggers (ahem, Susie Bubble and Bryanboy) have proven the naysayers wrong. During Fashion Week, Independent Fashion Bloggers is hosting a seriously major conference at Milk studios in NYC (February 10-11, 2011) that any budding blogger should attend. The two day conference will be packed with panels, workshops, and a party, plus you'll score a fabulous gift bag. You'll also learn about digital marketing, monetizing your blog, the evolution of the industry, and more from blogosphere and online media names like Man Repeller's Leandra Medine, Face Hunter's Yvan Rodic, Fashionista alum Faran Krentcil of Nylon, and Tumblr fashion director Rich Tong. The best part? Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are giving the keynote speech. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2011: The Portrait of a New Couture Posted: 27 Jan 2011 10:28 AM PST
Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt. PARIS–As she emerged from under the black glass backdrop wearing a white tweed wool flare jacket with a spider web of black jet beads dripping down the front and back, Stella Tennant's incredibly light footsteps and easy composure ushered in a new chapter in the storied history of Chanel Haute Couture. Karl Lagerfeld seems to be saying that couture should be as easy and effortless as wearing jeans. The starting point of this soft and airy collection was the rejected portrait of Mademoiselle Chanel. It was drawn by the artist Marie Laurencin in 1923 while the designer was working on costumes for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes Le Train Bleu. In that portrait, Chanel wore a soft, one-shoulder dress—but she refused to purchase the painting. In Mr. Lagerfeld's hands, history is just a momentary reference, an embrace and appreciation of the culture of a different time and place. The spring couture show moved beyond the incredible Spring 2011 ready-to-wear collection, staged in the transformed Grand Palais, into an Alain Resnais 1961 movie set.

We can’t even begin to profess our love for this editorial in Issue #38 of 
It is sort of a novel idea in an age of super brands and celebrity labels. But while there’s no hard evidence–as of yet, at least–that Aggugini will accomplish his goal, we’re betting the collection will be a hit. The trompe l’oeil dress and play suit will appease any Chanel-loving girl without making her look like a poser, while the dotty dresses and floral frocks flatter women of different ages and sizes. Kinder Aggugini may not be a marquee name, but he’s most definitely a marquee-caliber designer.
