Eat the Designers: AnOther‘s 10th Birthday With Alber, Karl, Gareth, and More

Posted: 19 Feb 2011 05:16 AM PST

LONDON–Fashion Week crowds across the globe are awaking from a bleary eyed winter slumber to the spectacle of the Fall 2011 collections. So what better timing than the night before London’s catwalks ignite, for biannual magazine AnOther to celebrate its first decade of razor’s edge fashion editorial. Editor-in-Chief Jefferson Hack placed illustrated birthday cards from designer pals–including Karl Lagerfield, Alber Elbaz of Lanvin, the Missoni family, Philip Treacy and Gareth Pugh–into the hands of local patissiers to create 10 birthday cakes on display through the weekend at Selfridges.

“I wanted to inspire our readers with the insane possibilities of what can be achieved at the highest level in bringing fashion and food together,” says Hack.

Exclusive: Levi’s Is Behind That Viral Butt-Cam Video

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 03:30 PM PST

If you, unlike me, haven’t been completely absorbed by New York Fashion Week this past week, you might be one of the nearly 2.5 million people who have watched this viral video on YouTube in which two hot girls rig the back of the jeans so that they catch people checking out their asses. At 1:53 Jesus even stops to check out one of their bums.

Cute gimmick? Sure. But it’s also very clever marketing. The “hot girls” are actually Jessie Gurunathan and Reanin Johannink, two actresses who are part of Levi’s latest Curve ID Skinny Jeans campaign. You know, they’re the jeans that come specially made in four styles to best flatter your bum, whether it’s a "slight curve," "demi curve," "bold curve," or the newly introduced “supreme curve” (the girl with the butt-cam is a demi-curve in case you were wondering). Levi’s hired New Zealand-based creative group Colenso BBDO to create the campaign, and with two and a half million views in three days, it seems safe to say the campaign is already a success. It’s such a hit that Gurunanthan and Johannink currently have reporters stationed outside their homes in New Zealand.

Levi’s has successfully used viral video campaigns in the past. Remember the “Guy Walks Across America” video? That “guy” was wearing Levi’s. So Levi’s Curve ID decided to give free rein to the little Kiwi creative that could. “Given our interest in empowering young artists and encouraging organic expressions of our brand, we agreed to let [Colenso BBDO] create and conduct this grassroots experiment without any creative direction from us,” a Levi’s spokesperson told us.

The campaign’s got legs, so Gurunanthan and Johannink (and their hot asses) are starring in another video in which they teach you how to DIY your own butt-cam.

Oh, and that super catchy tune in the video (which I’ve already watched three times just so I can hear it again)? It’s by Philly-based rapper Amanda Blank.

Here’s a sneak peek at the new installment:

Fashionista Celebrates Fabricly’s First Collection

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 12:53 PM PST

Fabricly, an e-commerce website that launched this past December, is to budding fashion designers what record labels are to music artists. Designers are able to create their collections freely without worrying about marketing, sourcing, production, or going bankrupt. If their designs sell, they get a cut.

The first collection that Fabricly has backed is Mono Lake by Molly Girard Coonan, former Barlow designer. Her effortless line is now available for pre-order on the site.

Fashionista is feting the launch of Fabricly’s first collection next week at NoLita hot spot Tacombi, with DJ’s Binki Shapiro of indie band Little Joys and Cory Kennedy.

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 11:30 AM PST

Our blog-crush, The Hairpin, enlisted talented illustrator Lisa Hanawalt for a post called, “Rumors I’ve Heard About Anna Wintour.” Hanawalt illustrates such rumors as, “Anna Wintour does not have bowel movements but she does lay stunning eggs,” “Anna won’t hire fat people because she’s a chubby chaser,” “Junior staffers are not allowed to look at Anna Wintour” and more, to hilarious effect. It is the perfect ending note to New York Fashion Week. We’ve included a few of our favorites below but you should view it in full, right now (if you haven’t already) on The Hairpin.

Naeem Khan Fall 2011: A Hit With Glamour Girls of All Ages

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 11:00 AM PST

It’s pretty standard to do a cursory front-row scan upon taking your seat at a fashion show–you’re generally likely to spot at least one tertiary CW star, perhaps an America’s Next Top Model alum, and maybe (just maybe) an Olsen or Kardashian. But we stopped dead in our tracks upon glimpsing Iris Apfel sitting directly across from us at last night’s Naeem Khan show. Apfel’s pretty much the coolest 90-year-old style icon around, and true to fearless form, she was decked out in an entirely red ensemble accented, of course, with her signature oversized specs. Next to Apfel sat Ranjana Khan, Naeem’s lovely jewelry-designer wife, as well as noted couture client Becca Cason Thrash, whose appearance in the 2007 BBC doc The Secret World of Haute Couture (seriously, YouTube it ASAP if you haven’t witnessed the amazingness) left us following her every move.

It’s easy to see why Khan’s designs have carved out such a devoted fan club–these clothes are pretty much as luxe as one can find, short of shelling out for true couture. This particular collection featured several stunning numbers in multicolored paisley-print organza, cocktail looks edged with Far-East-inspired threadwork, and sheaths trimmed with fringe beading. Oh, but those were the more subtle looks.

L.A.M.B. Fall 2011: Gwen Stefani Goes Around the World

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 10:30 AM PST

Yesterday’s L.A.M.B. show was broken into six parts: Soldier Girls, Rasta Ragga Muffins, London Girls, Buffalo Girls, Mod Girls, and Glamour Girls. It may sound like mix of random inspirations, but once the looks came out on the runway the connection was obvious. These are all the looks Gwen has cycled through during her career.

The opening group of Soldier Girls wore, unsurprisingly, army green looks that were all tightly tailored. With only eight looks, the Soldier Girls section was brief, but left me wanting more. Stefani could have done an entire show off the army girl riff, and it would have been amazing.

Isaac Mizrahi Fall 2011: Dye-To-Match Poodles, Pearls, and Pastries

Posted: 18 Feb 2011 10:00 AM PST

While we love peeping next season’s trends and scoping out street style during NYFW, we have to admit that the whole scramble-sit-watch-applaud-repeat drill can wear thin by week’s end. Thank goodness, then, for designers like Isaac Mizrahi, who consistently manage to add a little levity to their presentations.

Each seat card at Mizrahi’s show bore only one word, “CAKE,” and that perfectly summed up the delectable, whimsical collection. Each model was outfitted with a poodle-style black pouf atop her head–shades of Dr. Suess, albeit far more chic–and the looks ranged from classic tea dresses to crisp A-line lady coats to ribbed turtlenecks worn over mermaid-silhouette faille skirts, all in candy-sweet shades of mint, tangerine, and bubblegum pink. And, clearly as a nod to the sock-hop-era poodle skirt, there were fitted pencil skirts embellished with sparkling poodle brooches. Evening gowns shimmering with pearls, sequins, or a combination of the two were definite showstoppers, and shorter day dresses bore exaggerated bows (some hugging the models’ shoulders, others decorating the back of the look).
