Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Katy Perry At The 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards
Katy Perry’s one star who inspires some pretty heated style debates. She may have kissed a girl and liked it, but for fashion choices, she tends to leave people either hot or cold. At the MTV Europe Music Awards last night (the EMAs, to cognoscenti), Perry rocked 12 different outfits—including some of the best of [...]
Blasblog: Birds Of A (Jeweled) Feather
Marchesa co-founder Georgina Chapman told me last night that she’s always had a thing for sparkles and feathers—and indeed, a brief look back at her red-carpet-monopolizing label proves that she’s not kidding. Last night in Soho, she took the sparkle and feather fetish to new heights, debuting a new, avian-inspired jewelry collection with the London-based [...]
Yea, Nay, or Eh: Lace Belle
For evening, or really for any time of the day, white lace is a gamble. All those Madonna circa Like a Virgin and, worse yet, schlocky bridal connotations are tough to shake. But Camilla Belle made nice work of it last night in Beverly Hills at the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style, which honored another [...]
Scary Movie? And More…
Rodarte has an agent. The famously film-loving sisters are now being represented by William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, which means that maybe the pair will be costuming, producing, and starring in their own anime horror flick. Maybe?! [WWD]
And now, a clutch to go with that Marchesa gown. The super-fancy-dress ladies are introducing handbags, sure [...]
Ford’s Film, Garance’s New Gig, And More…
Tom Ford is taking his A Single Man to Venice. The designer’s first film, which he directed and produced (what, no starring role, Tom?), will debut at the festival in September. Try and figure out how you can be there and in New York for RTW at the same time. [WWD]
Garance Doré is [...]
Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Anne Hathaway In—What Else?—Marchesa
You can count on Anne Hathaway to look nothing less than glamorous when a red carpet is involved, and last night’s premiere of Shakespeare in the Park’s Twelfth Night was no exception. We’re happy to see she went with hometown favorite Marchesa for her Central Park debut, but why no bling? What do you think: [...]
Barbie Blows Up: Top Fashion Brass Take on the Doll
Barbie may be turning 50 this year, but she doesn’t look a day over, well, teenage fashion-model age, to be exact. As part of Mattel’s global birthday celebration, she made her runway debut in Bryant Park. And while there’s speculation that Ken is still in the closet, everyone’s outed themselves when it comes to their [...]
Proenza Schouler: From The Armory To Art Central?
Another addition to the constantly evolving fashion week schedule: We hear that Proenza Schouler will not be showing at the Park Avenue Armory, where the label has presented its last three collections. Instead, it seems that the design duo may be heading to a space in West Chelsea, a neighborhood that seems every season to [...]
Eddie Borgo Loves Triangles
His name may not be printed on any of the invitations, but you can expect to see plenty of Eddie Borgo’s work at New York fashion week this season. The up-and-coming jewelry designer—who will make his retail debut in March at Barneys—is collaborating with at least three designers for Fall 2009: Jen Kao, Camilla Stærk, [...]
