Erdem Fall 2011: Dark and Dreamy Garden

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 07:38 AM PST

There’s been a trend this season which everyone’s calling “texture blocking.” Like Alexander Wang and Peter Pilotto, Erdem used this technique, but it was more about the fusing of two fabrics than blocking.

Diane von Furstenberg Is “Embarrassed” Over Statement She Made Expressing “Disappointment” With Michelle Obama’s McQueen Dress

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 06:18 AM PST

The controversy over First Lady Michelle Obama’s McQueen dress just won’t die. Now Diane von Furstenberg, one of the original naysayers to have criticized the First Lady for wearing a foreign designer to the China state dinner, seems to be having second thoughts about her original statement.

Von Furstenberg, speaking as the president of the CFDA, issued a statement after Michelle Obama wore that now-infamous red dress (an altered look from Sarah Burton’s resort collection for McQueen), in which she expressed her “disappointment” over the First Lady’s choice: “CFDA believes in promoting American fashion. Our First Lady Michelle Obama has been wonderful at promoting our designers, so we were surprised and a little disappointed not to be represented for this major state dinner," the statement read. Of course, she was in good company, as Oscar de la Renta had already expressed his outrage over Mrs. O’s dress choice, and WWD followed suit.

But now the designer and CFDA pres seems to be having second thoughts.

Last Night’s Party: Alex Wang, Love, Liberty Bash With Beth Ditto, Lauryn Hill

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 06:12 AM PST

LONDON–And best bash of LFW (so far, and yes, slight intoxication may tint our estimation) goes to the Love magazine for Alexander Wang party at Liberty.

Daisy Lowe was there, dancing up a storm in a Mark Fast crop top and pencil skirt. When Beth Ditto forgot the lyrics during her a capella version of “I Will Always Love You,” she called on none other than Alexa Chung to complete the phrase.

Temperley London Fall 2011: Museum Pieces

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 04:29 AM PST

LONDON–That no fashion show had ever been mounted at the British Museum now seems like an oversight, thanks to Alice Temperley's theatrical production.

For her brand’s 10th anniversary, Temperley brought a collection about grown-up glamour to the London landmark’s soaring atrium.

The color palette was restricted to champagne, black, silver, and eventually, some Fire and Ice red (the Dorian Leigh version). A fan-skirted evening gown nodded at Victoriana and lingerie through an oversized, black-and-white lace print on champagne satin, with a pair of elbow-length leather gloves keeping it young.

Designers David Koma and Holly Fulton showed together for the second season in a row as part of Topshop’s New Gen series, and they really are the perfect runway mates. Mostly because their collections are vastly different.

Peter Pilotto Fall 2011: Revolutionaries

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 03:41 PM PST

LONDON–As much as I’d like to ignore Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos‘ program notes about Fall 2011′s “army of youthful revolutionaries” and simply talk about how the clothes looked, I can’t. Just a post ago, I made the argument that fashion is art, so why shouldn’t this team’s art be taken as seriously as what’s on right now at the Tate?

Emmanuelle Alt’s First Vogue Paris Cover to Feature Gisele in Dolce & Gabbana

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 03:00 PM PST

Ever since Emmanuelle Alt was named as Carine Roitfeld’s successor at Vogue Paris, there’s been much speculation as to what Alt would do with the revered mag.

Early on Gisele Bündchen was confirmed as Alt’s first cover, shot by Inez and Vinoodh in St. Barth’s, but what would she wear? We thought perhaps Balenciaga, as a way put an end to the bad blood between Vogue Paris and the iconic French brand that existed during Carine’s reign. Others thought Balmain or Isabel Marant were shoe-ins because of Alt’s previous position as stylist to those two houses. (Jobs she gave up for her new gig as Editor-in-Chief.)

Today, however, the mystery is over, as Alt confirmed to Vogue UK that the cover would feature Gisele wearing Dolce & Gabbana.

Tom Ford’s ‘Presentation’ Was Even More Secretive Than Expected

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 02:24 PM PST

LONDON–Tom Ford appointments were yesterday and today, but don’t expect to hear anything about the presentation from the journalists, fashion editors, and stylists who attended.

All attendees were asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement that requires them not to write or reveal anything about the collection until the summer. As fall collections usually hit stores in late June/early July, expect profiles on Ford in the May/June issues of your favorite magazines.

Vivienne Westwood Fall 2011: Curiosities at Court

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 01:28 PM PST

LONDON–Pete Burns perched at the end of the next row, a man with a face full of piercings gave interviews to cameras behind us, and Boy George rocked up at the last moment, latex-clad companion in tow. Must be the Vivienne Westwood Red Label show….

This season, the Dame pitched her circus in the cathedral-like Royal Courts of Justice. The lofty setting called for anarchic fashion on a grand scale, and Westwood delivered. Her beauty alone included hair trained into crown headpieces, smeary, slept-on clown makeup; and one leprotic-looking gold-leafed face. If Topshop took its inspiration from 101 Dalmations, it was Westwood's models who got Cruella's eyebrows—or at least one each.

Jonathan Saunders Fall 2011: Pinch Me, I’m in Fashion

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 10:52 AM PST

LONDON–Jonathan Saunders‘ show on Saturday night was probably my first “pinch me, I’m at fashion week” moment of LFW. First of all, the venue: a vacant office floor formed a glass cube above the nighttime city, with giant globe lights warming the echoing space. Despite its size, the place felt intimate thanks to the two rows of benches on each side. We were in the second row, in the same section as Olivia Palermo, Yasmin Le Bon and Marina Diamandis.

And the clothes: the shapes were strict, with midi-length pencil skirts dominating, but the prints made marvels out of these prim building blocks. Abstract, brocade-like bird and floral prints ran across bodices, waists and hemlines, with brighter diamonds set into some bodices defining waistlines and heightening contrasts.

Trendspotting: Button Up

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 10:16 AM PST


Buttoning up your shirt all the way to the top isn’t anything new–everything other girl at LFW is doing it. In this circumstance, the runways are imitating the street, from Bora Aksu to Matthew Williamson.
