| Fashion Story Time With the Brant Brothers: Sitting Front Row and Missing Marc Jacobs Posted: 26 Feb 2011 05:01 PM PST
We met Peter and Harry Brant, the sons of supermodel Stephanie Seymour, at the second Miu Miu Musing a couple weeks ago. While Peter Brant II might be better known at the moment for photos snapped of him and his supermodel mom being super-affectionate on the beach at St. Barth’s that sent the internet into a frenzy (Brant subsequently eloquently defended the photos in a statement to Gawker)–after watching Peter and his little brother Harry essentially upstage larger-than-life Andre Leon Talley that night, we knew these boys were destined for fashion greatness. Like, they’re gonna be huge. They also happen to know their stuff when it comes to fashion. Having family friends like Azzedine Alaïa and and Naomi Campbell around will do that do a person. “When we were little we used to spend hours sifting through our mother’s dressing room and various designer’s ateliers,” Harry told us. So we asked them to send in dispatches from their experiences at New York Fashion Week. Peter, 17, reflects on what it’s like to sit in the front row (and what happened when someone stole his seat at Alexander Wang). Harry, 15, hilariously recounts his failed efforts to make it to Marc Jacobs on time. Enjoy. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| My Milan Fashion Bus Adventure Posted: 26 Feb 2011 03:59 PM PST
MILAN–Before I get into my morning adventure, let me explain the fashion bus. At pretty much every fashion week other than New York, there is a bus that those who don’t hire a private car can take from show to show. In general you need to have registered with whomever runs the fashion week to be able to use this service, but it’s common knowledge that they’re pretty loose with this rule. In London, I use the fashion bus now and again. In Paris and Milan I rarely take it, mostly because every time I have I’ve been late to the next show. But this morning after leaving Bottega Veneta, I was in a bind. We were in the middle of nowhere, without an available taxi in site. I saw a sign for the bus and decided to wait in line. Soon enough it pulled up, with several empty buses behind it. Unfortunately, only about five people were allowed to board. Why? Because the rest of us–I’d say about 10 people in total–didn’t have our Milan Fashion Week passes. (Some claimed that they had forgotten theirs–I simply kept silent, because I hadn’t registered officially.) But the Camera Moda attendants wouldn’t budge. No one was going to be allowed access without a badge. (Camera Moda is the organization that puts together MFW.) Usually at this point I would have scooted off, but then things started to get good, so I decided to stick around to see what would happen. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Jil Sander Fall 2011: Mid-Century Modern Posted: 26 Feb 2011 01:57 PM PST
MILAN–Raf Simon‘s cited 1950s couture, Diane Arbus’ tunic dresses, furniture designer Jacques Adnet, and Louise Dahl-Wolfe–one of my favorite fashion photographers–as inspiration for his Fall 2011 Jil Sander collection. Those references are easy to spot, but my visceral reaction to the runway was a bit less high brow. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Sportmax Fall 2011: Ingmar’s Screen Siren Posted: 26 Feb 2011 01:13 PM PST
MILAN–Sportmax‘s fall collection was inspired by Scandinavia: Ingmar Bergman, Arne Jacobsen, Hans Christian Andersen. Whether or not that would have been obvious if we hadn’t read the show notes, we’re not sure. But what we can say is that we liked most of it, especially the tweeds, and the accents of patent leather in peplums, t-shirts, and belts. The cadet blue turtleneck swing dress with a panel of chenille was a key look for us, as was the brick red silk shirt dress at the end, made sexy with a cut-out back. We liked the terracotta colorway that emerged about half way through, as well as the fair isle knits. But we could have done without the strange floral numbers that closed the show.

| Emporio Armani Fall 2011: Black Velvet Tomboy Posted: 26 Feb 2011 12:27 PM PST
MILAN–I barely made it to Emporio Armani, but more on that later. What I did see when I got there was Tina Turner and flat shoes on nearly every model. Oh, and an adorable puppy, who even his escort couldn’t help smiling at. The look was both luxe and lax–a modern version of what Annie Hall might have worn in the ’80s, if you will. And lots of black! Nearly every look was black from head to toe, save for a couple pops of blue and green. There was lots for the Armani devotee, but also for the dabbler.

| Bottega Veneta Fall 2011: Control and Passion Posted: 26 Feb 2011 11:56 AM PST
MILAN–The first thing you noticed about Tomas Maier’s fall Bottega Veneta collection wasn’t the Tippi Hedren-style French twists, or the the light, bright overcoats. Instead, it was the tufts of leather sticking out from the label’s classic basket weave handbags. These roughed-up styles illustrated what Maier believes to be the crux of this collection. “We wanted to push the boundaries, to experiment with technique and craftsmanship to an extreme degree,” he said in the show notes. “The result is very particular, with a mix of control and passion that I think reflects the mood of the moment.” Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
