This Fashion Week, designers and their teams let loose, painting rainbow colors on eyes (all at once at Derek Lam), and intertwining bright bursts of color in hair at Zac Posen. Rodarte used body paint to create memorable tribal art that very nearly [...]

The predominant theme of spring accessories was bondage, which peeked through in the details. Naughty elements appeared at several shows: chains, spikes, lacing, and ties that bind. Heels were tougher, especially at Vera Wang and Rodarte (watch for spikes), and the va-va-voom factor was upped at Narciso Rodriguez, Derek Lam, and Phillip Lim. On the [...]

Spring 2010 looks from left by Alexander Wang, Prada, Prada, and Duckie Brown.
One of the hottest items — in terms of popularity, not us thinking they’re something you should wear outside — for spring 2010 on the New York runways were bottoms that look like a hybrid of panties and diapers. Designers including Alexander Wang [...]

With New York and London Fashion Weeks behind us — already! — we can’t stop thinking about the best and worst looks we saw on the runways. Did you like Marc Jacobs’s Japanese cabaret? Yes.

The collection “oozed luxury from the fabrics to the delightful twists of expert tailoring,” lauded The Wall Street Journal. British Vogue thought it was Bailey’s best collection ever, deeming the clothes “[p]oetic, fresh, and completely [...]

Smoke on the runway at Rodarte.
Nothing makes me happier than a front-row seat. Even if (1) everyone else has a front-row seat, too, as they do at Marc Jacobs since there is only one row, or (2) the models never actually walk past the particular section of the front row I’m sitting in, as is [...]

Though it didn’t quite top last year’s eighties-inspired collection, the critics gushed over Marc Jacobs’s frilly, frothy spring show. Cathy Horyn of the Times admiringly called it a “free-spirited attack of fashion,” declaring, “The show had that D.I.Y., homegrown quality that looks right.” After watching a week-long parade [...]
We hope you like hair gel, because spring hair looks like it was drenched in the goop: slicked back, poofed up, and generally wet to the touch. Marc Jacobs parted locks down the center and smoothed them down, while Zac Posen and Chado Ralph Rucci pulled manes back into tight updos. Jen Kao, rag & [...]
