Rachel Antonoff’s AW11 Lookbook Features Great Clothes, Laurel Pantin, and Mini Ponies” y 1 mas |
| Rachel Antonoff’s AW11 Lookbook Features Great Clothes, Laurel Pantin, and Mini Ponies Posted: 29 May 2011 07:00 AM PDT Every time we’re sent the Rachel Antonoff look book, we know it’s going to be our favorite of the season. How can we be so sure? Because Antonoff’s tome always combines her immaculate clothing collection, her fashion friends (previously Katrina Bowden, Tenessee Thomas, Alia Shawkat, Julia Frakes, and Scarlett Johansson), and a cute animal. For fall, Rachel Antonoff took Teen Vogue‘s Laurel Pantin and friend Danielle F. to the Gillen Mini Horse Farm in Blairstown, NJ. Yes, a mini horse farm. But it’s not just the teeny ponies that won over our hearts, it’s Antonoff’s witty and wearable designs, named after her flock of fashion followers. There’s the Jannuzzi vest, the Tenn-Tom dress, and the Jack cat pocket jumper named after her brother, Steel Train frontman Jack Antonoff, who is actually allergic to cats. On top of these creations there’s also the adorable Macy cat pocket skirt, Shiffman dress in Valentine print, and sheer back Kelsy dress. As you can see, it’s been hard for me to pick a favorite from Antonoff’s collection, because I kind of want it all. So click through and see if you can decide which piece is your favorite. I promise it will be hard. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Posted: 28 May 2011 08:04 AM PDT You might be surprised that we haven’t written about Stevie, an Etsy jewelry designer known for her state charms with a little heart punched through each one. Stevie was quite upset because Urban Outfitters allegedly mimicked her design. “My heart sank a little bit [when I saw this],” Stevie confessed on her Tumblr. As bad as I felt for Stevie, I didn’t put the story on yesterday’s schedule. We write about rip-offs pretty consistently, but this just didn’t sit right with me. Hadn’t I seen these little charms before? Since the story broke, Urban has pulled the style from its website. And Stevie seems to be experiencing unexpectedly high sales in wake of the situation. She reports on her Etsy page that “Orders will take a bit longer due to the overwhelming response to Urban Outfitters! Please give me 3-4 weeks to create and ship your items! xo.” Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Runway Vs. the Celeb Way: A Look At How Celebrities Have Altered Runway Looks for the Red Carpet Posted: 27 May 2011 02:31 PM PDT It’s good to be a celebrity. One of the many perks that comes along with the job, if you’re a hot young A-lister, is the opportunity to wear just about any runway or couture look that you or your stylist likes. And when you’re celebrity of that caliber, the world’s top designers will do just about anything to dress you–including altering their runway creations to your liking. Recall, if you will, that episode of the Rachel Zoe Project when the stylist musters up the courage to ask the Kaiser himself to alter one of his couture creations for Cameron Diaz to make it appeal more to the American masses. With Cannes, the Met Ball, and the Oscars in recent memory, we’ve compiled a slideshow of starlets who wore looks right off the runway, with some minor changes made. The question is, which do you like better: The original runway versions more or the alterations made to please the stars? Click through and weigh in.

| Posted: 27 May 2011 01:32 PM PDT Israeli-born NYC-based designer Nili Lotan has been quietly churning out simple, stark, elegant designs since she launched her eponymous label in 2003. But it’s hard to stay under the radar when J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler stops by your showroom and wants to collaborate. Lotan teamed up with the specialty retailer to produce a very small capsule collection of relaxed basics including a perfect striped boyfriend sweater that sold out immediately. We talked to Lotan to find out how she landed that plum collaboration, how her background in Israel and time in the air force has influenced her design, and if she would ever consider putting on a runway show.

| Three’s a Trend: Using Latisse on Your Eyebrows Posted: 27 May 2011 12:28 PM PDT When I was 13, I did what a lot of teenagers do and went to town on my eyebrows. (I.e., plucked them nearly to the point of no return.) I’m lucky that my hair is naturally very, very thick, or I might have had to resort to drawing on my eyebrows with a pencil. I should preface the rest by saying that, despite the abuse, my eyebrows are currently pretty good. They have a nice shape. The problem? I’m obsessed with bushy eyebrows. I want thick, dramatic caterpillars. But I haven’t plucked mine in a year and they just won’t get thick. It’s driving me nuts. (And penciling them in Joan Crawford-style just doesn’t do it for me.) So I started thinking…maybe I should use Latisse, that liquid prescription–only stuff, on my eyebrows? Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Posted: 27 May 2011 11:28 AM PDT Last night, we hopped by Swarovski‘s party commemorating the 10th anniversary of the brand’s involvement with the CFDA Awards, as well as the subsequent limited edition collection designed by Philip Crangi. After getting thoroughly lost in a maze of underground stores and eateries (also known as Rockefeller Plaza), we finally found our way to Swarovski‘s champagne-filled shindig in one of the sparkliest stores we’ve been in yet–and boy was it worth the trek.

| Top Looks From SCAD’s Senior Fashion Show Posted: 27 May 2011 10:11 AM PDT I should probably admit something: Before last weekend, I’d never been to a student fashion show. We cover just about every big one–from Central Saint Martins to Parsons–but I’ve never been able to attend, whether because of a last minute appointment or a massive body of water. But that all changed Saturday at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I witnessed the senior class’ incredibly well-produced fashion show. Not only were the clothes impressive–there were plenty of subtle, non-offensive references to Christopher Kane, McQueen and Mary Katrantzou–but the styling (done by our favorite guy/SCAD mentor Chris Benz and editor extraordinaire Kym Canter) and overall feel of the show was more professional than amateur. I could have done without some of the ruffles–why do students/Project Runway contestants always seem to feel the need to create pleated high collars? Who actually wears those?–there were legitimately pieces I would consider ordering. Click through to see some of the standouts from this year’s senior collections. And congrats to the students and fashion school dean Michael Fink! Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| My Favorite Beauty Products: US Weekly‘s Gwen Flamberg Posted: 27 May 2011 08:18 AM PDT Admit it. You love US Weekly. So do I. So much so that I stopped saying, "Oh, I only read it at the nail salon," and actually got a subscription delivered to my home. For this edition of "My Favorite Beauty Products" Gwen Flamberg, the beauty director at US Weekly, was kind enough to share her picks with us. Before US, Gwen wrote about beauty at the Ladies' Home Journal and Fitness, and has worked with The Today Show, Good Morning America, Extra, and E!News.
