| Jenni Kayne Fall 2011: Kayne-Do Attitude Posted: 11 Feb 2011 06:30 AM PST
Full disclosure: we have a soft spot for California girl Jenni Kayne and her consistently beautiful takes on rich minimalism. Upon arriving at Industria to check out this season's goods, the show notes told us to expect outdoorsy layers and textural extras "straight from a glamorous grandma with love." Unfortunately, our grannies were never quite this chic—the pointy-toed d'Orsay flats and neat fur caps paired with many of the looks made comfy simplicity look totally luxe. As for the clothes themselves, they were the sort of thing a city girl might wear if she took to a cabin in the country for a weekend getaway—but still had fashionable friends to impress. Lumberjack looks, these were certainly not! Think chunky cable-knit sweaters paired with slinky, silky maxiskirts, or a tailored coat with a blue fur collar that would be perfect to shrug on to beat the forest chill. A few hits of bright cerulean in the form of a long-sleeved dress and billowy pants provided a welcome color contrast, while a sheer lace shell and a teensy golden skirt dripping in sequins gave the party girls in attendance something to lust after too. Kayne showed once again that she's honed in on her design strengths—long, lean silhouettes, largely neutral palettes punctuated by pops of bold color, and ageless separates—and is comfortable delivering these sorts of wearable pieces each season. And whether you're an East or West Coaster, or prefer city over country, that's a style M.O. we definitely admire. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Lyn Devon Fall 2011: Sporty Seventies Nomad Posted: 11 Feb 2011 06:00 AM PST
Lyn Devon‘s Fall 2011 look is undoubtedly inspired by the Halston era. But unlike some of the uber-referential collections we saw last season, hers is a more subtle, studied reflection. Along with the ultra suede and long lines, there was a theme of travel. Devon’s customer can mix her cashmere drawstring bottoms, silk blouses, and graphic dresses to create hundreds of brand new outfits. A drawstring waist jacket in Colombo cashmere–black, mustard, navy, or grey–serves as the finishing piece. While Devon doesn’t seek out red carpet attention, her long jersey bustier dress is sure to garner some. We see a lady like Cate Blanchett–or perhaps Julianna Margulies?–pairing it with a dripping diamond necklace and nothing more. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Last Night’s Party: André Leon Talley and Shala Monroque at Miu Miu’s Musing Posted: 10 Feb 2011 04:28 PM PST
Everyone loves to bemoan the state of fashion today: it’s too fast, it’s too big, it’s too corporate, it’s too global, it’s too accessible, they say. But no one really does anything about it. Technology speeds things up and fashion follows. Everyone wants more and they want it now. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. But last night one of fashion’s most respected brands brought together some of fashion’s most respected names to slow things down, talk, and reflect about the state of fashion. Lauren and I felt very lucky to attend Miu Miu’s second “Miu Miu Musing” hosted by the incredibly gorgeous and stylish Shala Monroque, who looked like a Miu Miu barbie doll in a bright red wig. The theme for the evening’s salon discussion was “constructive superficiality.” Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Richard Chai Love Fall 2011: Layer After Layer Posted: 10 Feb 2011 04:17 PM PST
The first day of fashion week is only halfway over but we can already tell that this fall, it will be all about the layers. With cold air circulating through the tents, Chai‘s collection of pleated skirts over tailored pants and oversize wool blazers atop wool wrap coats couldn’t have looked more irresistible from our perch. In a sea of muted earthy hues like charcoal, moss, smokey lavender, and nutmeg, we were pleasantly surprised by a mop of bright pink hair, a few metallic embroidered tops, and a maxi dress with floral printed draping.

| It’s Here, It’s Here! Lady Gaga’s Complete Vogue Editorial Posted: 10 Feb 2011 02:58 PM PST
It’s a big week for Gaga’s Little Monsters. The first single from her upcoming album, “Born This Way,” drops tomorrow, and Vogue has posted the complete article and images from Gaga’s highly anticipated March cover issue (written by Jonathan Van Meter and shot by Mario Testino) on their website. As we expected, there are dramatic shots of Gaga in over-the-top McQueen, but there are also some relatively normal photos of Gaga in Louis Vuitton and Haider Ackermann sans her usual elaborate makeup (of course, she’s still sporting a pastel pink bob and purple lips) that make the seemingly confident star look vulnerable. In the article, she tells Van Meter "I am quite down-to-earth for such an eccentric person…” The issue hits newsstands February 22. Check out the full editorial.

| BCBG Max Azria Fall 2011: Break Out the Turtlenecks Posted: 10 Feb 2011 02:22 PM PST
The tents were abuzz on this crisp first morning of New York Fashion Week. Guests filing into the BCBG show looked fresh faced and energized, flitting around the rows to greet friends and old co-workers during the show’s 30 minute delay. The paps swarmed the front row of B-list celebs that included a very bronzed Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kelly Rowland in cute coral cocktail dress, and Katrina Bowden of 30 Rock. On the runway, a parade of models in sleek ponytails donned delicate silk crepe dresses that were belted and layered over white turtleneck body suits for an overall ’70s vibe. Overall, the collection was clean and simple with a neutral palette and structured silhouettes, but sheer fabric, splashes of color, and varying neck lines kept the collection interesting.

| Nicholas K and Porter Grey Fall 2011: Grungey and Girly Prep Posted: 10 Feb 2011 02:00 PM PST
Perhaps it was telling that we were blasting The Cranberries' "Zombie" on our way to Nicholas K's 9 a.m. show this morning. True to their trademark downtown-meets-military aesthetic, brother/sister duo Nicole and Christopher Kunz sent out a collection that My So-Called Life's Angela Chase would flip for. A mix of goat hair-trimmed leather toppers, cocoon-like parkas (a Nicholas K signature piece), and plenty of velvet separates in autumnal evergreens and burgundies–the looks seemed straight out the 90s grunge-glam movement. And since those endless layers of leather and wool can swallow a person whole, the designers cinched the silhouettes with plaid button-ups tied offhandedly around the models' waists. We especially love the skirts (cut in both flannel and leather) that riffed off the same vibe with their built-in "belts" fashioned from actual sleeves. Each look was shown with either combat boots or creepers (the indisputable shoe of the moment). Unfortunately, comfy and cool as they might be, stacked-sole flats aren't always the best for strutting—one model took not one, but two tumbles in her chunky lace-ups.

Walking in the big shows of a season can jump start any model’s career. (See: Arizona Muse) So, naturally hundreds of girls and guys piled into Hudson’s Library in Midtown yesterday to try their hand (or face) at impressing Andrew Weir, legendary casting director and founder of ACW casting agency. Everyone from up and coming new girls to industry powerhouse Crystal Renn stopped by to “take a walk” and pose for Weir’s cameras. The whole process took over eight hours, but operations inside Hudson’s Library functioned like a well-oiled machine, each model working their way through a series of obstacles before greeting the Mr. Weir and strutting his or her stuff. It was a rare opportunity to see the girls and guys we worship in magazines in their “natural habitat.” So, click through to see what we saw!

| Alexa Chung Covers Net-a-Porter’s New Print Magazine Posted: 10 Feb 2011 11:27 AM PST
Alexa Chung looks ravishing in red Erdem on the cover of Net-a-Porter‘s new print magazine. According to a post on the Fashion Spot, the glossy will be available to purchase on Net-a-Porter.com beginning next week. Net-a-Porter was pretty much the first site to successfully incorporate editorial into their e-commerce platform. (Although they’ve scaled back on the amount of editorial over the years.) What do you think of this reverse strategy? Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Which privileged designer has asked her West Coast exec daddy to call in favors and pay people off this fashion week? Apparently she’s even stolen a rival designer’s fit models. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
