Best Dressed: Alexa in Deyrolle, Hailee in Miu Miu, and Agron in Westwood

Posted: 13 Feb 2011 07:00 AM PST



We love Alexa Chung‘s Deyrolle for Opening Ceremony, but Hailee Steinfeld is our new favorite. The 14-year-old wowed in Berlin wearing Miu Miu. Dianna Agron looked lovely in Westwood. We always watch for what Blake Lively is wearing and she didn’t fail to impress in McQueen. Teresa Palmer’s Emilio Pucci was intriguing.

Taylor Tomasi-Hill Styles Fallon’s Fall Campaign

Posted: 13 Feb 2011 06:00 AM PST

When it comes to accessories, it doesn’t get much cooler than Dana Lorenz’s Fallon jewels and Taylor Tomasi-Hill.

So naturally, we’re dying over Fallon‘s vibrant fall campaign styled by the Marie Claire editor/street style icon.

In the editorial-style photographs by Sharif Hamza, model Jana K wears an array of the latest FALLON baubles–cuffs galore and egyptian-style necklaces, piled onto her arms and around her neck in true Tomasi-Hill fashion.

Honor Fall 2011: Bound Movement

Posted: 12 Feb 2011 06:58 PM PST

Honor designer Giovanna Randall burst onto the New York fashion scene in a big way. The med school dropout just showed her second collection and her first ever runway show–but when Alexa Chung is sitting front row, you know you’re making the right kind of buzz.

And the collection lived up to the hype. We were already big fans of Honor’s ultra feminine and dreamy aesthetic after her first presentation last season, and her fall 2011 collection confirmed our love. It was elegant and thoughtful and luxe with a ’70s vibe that wasn’t overbearing. Pants were flowy and wide-legged, paired with tunic tops with a thick belt. Long sleeved column dresses that were cinched at the waist billowed as the models walked (my personal favorite). Even though most looks were paired with adorable Repetto oxfords or patent loafers, the clothes made each already tall and thin model look taller and thinner. In fact, the skirts that hit just above the ankle looked even chicer because they were paired with flats. The color palette shifted in blocks from muted in putties and black at the start to a shock of raspberry on printed tent minidresses with deep pockets followed by rich emerald on a coat and in chiffon dresses to finish the show.

When I spoke with Randall after the show to ask how she felt she said she could sum up her feelings about the show in three words: “A fucking miracle.”

The Lake & Stars Fall 2011: Structural and Sexy With A Sense of Humor

Posted: 12 Feb 2011 05:46 PM PST

Having a good sense of humor is sexy, so it was promising that lingerie designers Maayan Zilberman and Nikki Dekker had some fun with their first presentation for their line, The Lake & Stars. The models, in looks inspired by “a 1970s American interpretation of Italian Neo-Classicism,” were guarded like works of art in a museum by a fleet of security guards. Only if you looked close enough each security guard had a tongue-in-cheek name tag like “Hugh Jass” or “Mike Hunt.” It was an idea that came to the Brooklyn-based designers in a state of “delirium” they said, but if you’re presenting a collection of lingerie, why not have some good naughty fun?

Though The Lake & Stars fall 2011 collection was more than just bras and panties–as underwear increasingly becomes more visible as outerwear (under loose oversized tanks and layered under sweaters and button down blouses)–it almost makes more sense to view The Lake & Stars as a ready-to-wear line. Zilberman and Dekker would like you to see it that way, too. Putting on a presentation, a luxury afforded them as one of Ecco Domani’s Fashion Foundation Winners, allows them to be viewed, said Dekker, “as a crossover ready-to-wear collection and more of a designer line and less of a ‘What do you wear as a bra and underwear?’”

Rachel Antonoff Fall 2011: School Daze

Posted: 12 Feb 2011 03:00 PM PST

Finding our way to Rachel Antonoff’s prom-themed presentation was sort of like snagging a date to the dance–a bit confusing and awkward. Held on the third floor of Fiorella H. LaGuardia High School near Lincoln Center, it required some wandering through the linoleum halls, but once we heard the boppy chords of The Like drifting from the gymnasium, we knew we were in the right place.

Nicole Miller Fall 2011: Cool Blue

Posted: 12 Feb 2011 02:00 PM PST

Nicole Miller’s latest collection was as badass as we felt at the show wedged between Richie Rich and Gabrielle Union. Leather detailing, asymmetrical cuts, and a menswear influence all served as yet another departure from the line’s girly, form-fitting, party dress image.

Miller paired a sequin sheath with an angular leather vest, and a diagonal stripe skirt over boot cut silk pants. There were foiled metal skirts, leather leggings a la Alexander Wang, and Persian lamb coats.

While we love that Miller is amping up the edge, our favorite looks were those with less bulk–a black and blue printed silk dress and a red and gray printed blouson top with a metallic pencil skirt.

Inside Fashion Week: The Good the Bad and the Swag So Far

Posted: 12 Feb 2011 01:42 PM PST

To use one of our new favorite phrases, Fashion Week is "many things." Too many in fact, to capture in one blog post. But can we try? Day three is already here but we’re still poring over the hits and misses of day one. Here’s our take:

The Wigs at Gary Graham: We got his vision for the clothes. But the beauty notes lost us at hello. What were those wigs? No, seriously. What were they?

The Front Row at BCBG:
Yet again, just as much to look at off the runway as a laundry list of "celebs" from Kelly Rowland to Jennifer Love Hewitt perched on the front row.

Wellies at Organic by John Patrick: Rainy days just got an upgrade with these to-die-for lace up rain boots.

Swimwear at Norma Kamali:
We are too delighted that Kamali showed on the runway to complain about anything. But if we did, it would be to ask how those unforgiving cut-outs would translate on real women.

Duckie Brown Fall 2011: Effortlessly Relevant and Chic

Posted: 12 Feb 2011 01:00 PM PST

When I was a brand-new journalist, one of my mentors gave me a priceless piece of advice: "Don't fall in love with your research," he said. It's a common problem. Like actors who get into a role, when we spend time enough time investigating something, or compiling data, we find ourselves becoming attached to it. Then, when the time comes to jettison what's unnecessary, or seemingly superfluous to an editor, we cannot bear it.

I feel like the guys from Duckie Brown are suffering from a similar problem. It seems that Steven Cox and Daniel Silver get so caught up in the novelty, history, or intricacies of their materials, they lose sight of the entire garment, or collection. While their show was a great improvement over last season's circus parade, and ultimately a success, there were times where it felt disjointed, and off-the-mark.

Fashion Week Parties: Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld Hosts A Graffiti Show and PETA Parties Instead of Protesting (For Now)

Posted: 12 Feb 2011 12:30 PM PST

As darkness fell on the first day of New York Fashion Week, we headed west to check out some art courtesy of Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld’s curation, and show off our faux fur at PETA’s fashion week party.

The first stop was a warehouse on the desolate Washington Street where Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida were hosting RETNA: The Hallelujah World Tour. The open and dim space smelled of fresh paint (there were splatters of it on the floor) and graffiti artist RETNA’s canvases filled with abstract black and white symbols lined the walls. The crowd, sipping on what we’re pretty sure was straight vodka, was as eclectic as the art itself. Fashion folk like Eddie Borgo and proud mama Carine Roitfeld mingled with a young flock of skateboarders (boards in tow), older women in hulking fur coats, and disheveled yet chic Parisian-looking men.

Doo.Ri Fall 2011: Metropolitan Monochrome

Posted: 12 Feb 2011 12:30 PM PST

The bass at Doo.Ri's fall show was so loud it rattled my esophagus, even out-thumping the platform combat boots that clamored down the runway.

But bass and boots aside, the rest of Doo.Ri's fall collection beat to her traditional track of quiet restraint. Doo.Ri Chung, the master of draping, jersey, and monochrome, deviated very little from her favorite formula this season. So when she did play with something new—a texture, a tweaked silhouette– it made one thing very, very clear:

The beauty of being a designer who works within fairly rigid parameters is not having to raise your voice to make your statement.

Costello Tagliapietra Fall 2011: Jackie O, Circa 1970

Posted: 12 Feb 2011 11:48 AM PST

It’s hard to dislike Costello Tagliapietra‘s easy dresses, but this season it was virtually impossibile. With blown out coifs and coral lipstick, the lady’s looked unbelievably Jackie O-like in wool crepe. The duo’s draping skills were used particularly well in a billowing white blouse paired with pegged orange pants. And the final look, a slinky yellow silk number, was elevated by a peach lining.
