| Elise Øverland Fall 2011: Sub-Zero at The Standard Posted: 14 Feb 2011 06:30 AM PST
“What did I sign up for?” a model asked as she stepped out onto the ice at the rink at The Standard for Elise Øverland’s Fall 2011 show. It was a good question. She and the 10 or so other girls who modeled Øverland’s collection were escorted onto the ice in six inch platform stilettos and then had to stand on little bath mats for the next half hour in freezing temps while real life figure skaters (also wearing Øverland’s creations) twirled around them as they trembled. Because, while the collection is intended for Fall/Winter, Øverland’s cropped jackets with furry centers and cuffs were not proper outer wear for sub-zero conditions. I swear I saw tears in the eyes of one miserable looking model. When Johnny Weir, the main draw of the show, finally performed a good hour after the show was set to start, I was so cold it distracted from his lutzes and ice humping (yes, that happened). Perhaps it was Scandinavian born Øverland’s way of telling us New Yorkers to toughen up against the cold. But it didn’t work. As hard as it was to focus on the collection with frozen digits and chattering teeth the clothes were out-there in a good way–especially on the figure skaters who looked like they were actually having a good time.

| Timo Weiland Fall 2011: Colonial Rock Posted: 14 Feb 2011 06:30 AM PST
If a rock star traveled to colonial India, what would he or she wear? At Timo Weiland's fall presentation, we journeyed back to the 1960s where our question was answered. For the ladies, designers Timo Weiland and Alan Eckstein created rock-star worthy metallic blue tops and paired them with a jumper and then a vivid multi-colored peplum skirt. There were tiger-striped pieces as a nod to India, far out purple-tinted shades, wide-leg pants, platform pumps, and wait for it…muffs! Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Love‘s got a new film, and we’ve got a sneak peek. Shot by by Sølve Sundsbø, with hair by Ashley Javier, make-up by Sally Branka, and creative direction by Love editor-in-chief Katie Grand, “A Kind of Blue” features glamor model-turned-actress Kelly Brook in Giorgio Armani. (Brook, as you probably remember, covered Issue 4 of Love.) There will be a preview of the film up on TheLoveMagazine.co.uk this Tuesday, February 15. (That’s tomorrow.) And you’ll be able to watch the full length version on February 21, smack in the middle of London Fashion Week. (It will debut on Love‘s iPad app soon after.) “It’s a year since we launched our first Love film, to the day,” Grand tells us. Until then, scan these gorgeous stills, which include behind-the-scenes negatives and outtakes.           Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Marc Jacobs is Hiring A New Twitterer to Replace Robert Duffy…Via Twitter Posted: 13 Feb 2011 09:00 PM PST
One of the reason’s we, and over 90,000 people follow Marc Jacob’s twitter handle is because his CEO Robert Duffy is behind it. And he’s sometimes quite overshare-y which makes @MarcJacobsIntl very entertaining to follow. Only Robert Duffy has just announced, via twitter, that he’s tweeted his last tweet (this Valentine’s photo, right, is apparently just that). As for who will replace him? According to twitter, Marc Jacobs is looking to hire “someone to come on and take a job heading our twitter acct and social media.” And don’t bother sending over a cover letter and resume, they’re currently interviewing candidates over twitter by soliciting clever tweets. “Be clever. Smart. Understand our DNA. Say it in one tweet! That is your interview!” it says. They’re serious about it, too, it seems: “I just got in trouble from Robert for being arrogant in my tweets. We are being serious. This is a real opportunity.” Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Band of Outsiders Fall 2011: A Runway With Character Posted: 13 Feb 2011 05:08 PM PST
450 West, the venue where Band of Outsiders staged its first-ever runway show, wasn’t set up like a movie set. But Los Angeles-based designer Scott Sternberg did pull a stunt. At the beginning of the show, with The Doors playing in the background, male models popped out of boxes suspended from the ceiling, crawling down to the runway on thick rope. This set the stage for a hiking-inspired collection, but what it also did was make the audience ooh and ahh, biting into our lemony Momofuku cookies with the excitement of kids at the cinema. What came next were three separate runway shows. First, Band of Outsiders for men, then Boy for women, then Girl, a lower-priced line also for the ladies.

| VPL Fall 2011: Rubber Extras and a Whole Lotta Latex Posted: 13 Feb 2011 05:00 PM PST
Victoria Bartlett’s sporty urban armor has always maintained a devoted following among the fashion flock, and it’s interesting to observe how she never ventures far from the sports-bra-and-knickers look that’s earned her accolades. If it isn’t broke, after all… There were plenty of wrapped, draped, and architecturally folded looks at today’s Pier 59 show to keep Barlett’s fans happy–and, perhaps, win her a few new followers as well. Cast in a palette of pale grey, light sand, and deep khaki, the fuzzy knits, paneled leggings, and diagonally-twisted dresses clung to the model’s forms in a way that looked body-conscious but never cheaply sexy. The “interplay of aggressive and soft” for which the designer was aiming came through via clear focus on the shoulder; zipped-up wool jackets, bandage dresses, and even soft cardigans were accented with tucks and peaks at the upper arm. Bartlett had cited a number of artists as her inspiration, from Piero Manzoni to Man Ray to Joseph Beuys, and many of these looks would qualify as bona fide works of art themselves. This was particularly true of the closing numbers–convex, wire-supported shrugs, peplum belts, and vests emphasized the torso’s angles and curves, while nude-hued latex bodysuits and tanks almost disappeared into the body.

| Number Lab Fall 2011: West Village Scrimmage Posted: 13 Feb 2011 04:30 PM PST
Call me Canadian (I am), but I'm probably going to love any collection that starts with a hockey scrimmage. Last season it was Bike Polo. This year designer Luis Fernandez had his guys suited up for some shinney, decked out in his Number Lab apparel. When the skates came off and the music dropped, that's when it was really game on. Fernandez has produced a vivid and well-structured collection, a look that is unapologetically sporty and fun, but still clean and European. Models came down the runway in chipper blue knits, clean cut jersey and, at one point, a grey two-button jacket with bold blue trim, but they were also sporting hockey sticks, goggles, and skis. It was as if the Swedish Winter Olympic team had descended on the West Village. You had to stop and stare, and you pointed and laughed with your friends, but you also kind of wished your boyfriend had that sweater. And those pants.

| Riviera Club Fall 2011: Polished Dishevelment Posted: 13 Feb 2011 03:30 PM PST
"Tough beat, boys." That's what I had to say to Joe Sadler, Greg Ullery and Derek Buse, the trio behind Riviera Club, who were recently nominated for GQ and the CFDA's New Menswear Designer of the Year award. Riviera Club lost out to Alexander Wang, but I can see why they were nominated in the first place. They say their collection is "nestled at the intersection of blue collar chic and polished dishevelment," and I'll buy it. This is a coherent, handsome collection, punctuated by sparks of color, work wear and Americana. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Lela Rose Fall 2011: Walking Canvases Posted: 13 Feb 2011 03:00 PM PST
We were pretty much sold on the Lela Rose collection the minute we tasted the cookies in our gift bag, homemade straight from Lela’s kitchen. It turns out, the clothes were just as mouth-watering as the sugary treats. Inspired by contemporary German painter Gerhard Richter, Rose translated scraped prints and “hazy and obscured imagery” from canvas to fabric to create a frothy, abstract collection with a water-color palette. Lela Rose die-hard Brittany Snow sat pretty in the front row in a blue and cream Richter-esque printed dress paired with gray knee highs, straight from the runway. Along with an array of dainty peplum, strict seamed, and cinched bow frocks and feather embroidered skirts, the collection featured some striking floor-length numbers. Among our favorites were a black and white plaid chiffon strapless gown layered over a green long-sleeved shirt, a mint brushed chrome gown, and a dip-dyed gray and white gown with a veiled shoulder. Models wore shoes from Rose’s latest Payless line, and we have to say–they’re amazing. We can’t wait to pick up a pair of camel suede platform wedges with a red wave detail on the sole. **All photos: IMAXTREE Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Jeremy Laing Fall 2011: Over the Moon Posted: 13 Feb 2011 02:30 PM PST
There's that scene in Terminator 2 where the new Terminator first begins to reform: globules of shining mercury come together and compound until a human shape is formed. I've never forgotten that scene because it was the first, and one of the few, times when special effects meant anything—it wasn't just a movement that made you go "wow," it was a fantastical interpretation that made you question fantasy. I thought of this moment again during Jeremy Laing's A/W 2011 presentation: the ethereal made real; the conjunction of artistry and functionality.

| Sang A Fall 2011: Python, Painted & Perforated Leathers Posted: 13 Feb 2011 02:00 PM PST
Last night at Mixed Greens Gallery, Korean pop star-turned-designer Sang A Im-Propp showed off yet another solid collection. While we so often see a quilted concoction–not that we would complain about toting a classic Chanel 2.55 or Marc's Stam bag–it was incredibly refreshing to find a mix of leathers and textures done in a cool way. There were embroidered and painted pieces paired with perfectly perforated leathers and buffed python. The "Flash" bag–a collaboration between Im-Propp and artists Daren Newman and Sam Hardy–proved to be a winning idea. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
