The Graeme Black show was on Savile Row, and it’s probably not a good sign that I was more interested in staring out the window into Ozwald Boateng’s shop instead of at Black’s runway.
The backdrop, sandy canvases with mosques painted on, was beautiful. There was a fog machine and squawking birds in place of [...]

The clothes on the runway at Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2010 show were artful and dramatic and demanded equally stand out faces. What could stand out more than Sophia Loren-esque cat eyes? Hair guru Orlando Pita wove extension braids around the girls’ heads, giving them the a fresh innocent appeal. It’s easy to get [...]

After Isaac Mizrahi’s show, the designer ran around his Bryant Park set smiling, waving and blowing kisses and even Anna Wintour broke out into a toothy grin (seriously!).
There really couldn’t have been a better note on which to end New York Fashion Week than his theatrical production complete with studio lights and rain. [...]

Hair has taken cues from Heidi this season. Think Swiss Alps, not Klum. Braids are the look du jour, with the locks woven in all sorts of ways. Malandrino created upside-down French-braid pigtails on her models, and even tied the ends together. Oscar de la Renta wove colors like green, purple, white, and black into [...]

Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, and 3.1 phillip lim.
Michael Kors
The critics disagreed on the success of Michael Kors’s pared-down, architectural collection. WWD saw “plenty of prettiness” and felt Kors’s take on sharp lines and strong shoulders was a “breath of fresh air.” British Vogue loved the pastel prints (which Cathy Horyn of the Times [...]

1. At Oscar de la Renta, the white tulle dress with gold embroidery on Sasha was stunning.
2. The backless sweater vest at 3.1 Phillip Lim, worn by Emma with a muscle tee and antique-silver sequined shorts, looked chic.
3. We loved Peter Som’s colorful spring [...]
Actually 12, if you count the fabulous felt hats and ribbons woven through Heidi braids on the models’ heads. Oscar served up one of the most gorgeous collections of the week – he always does. At the same time, the elegant venue and [...]

Brian Reyes has had a loyal following of influentials since he first launched his collection in 2006. The Elle crew was the first magazine to get behind him in a major way and they were out in full force this morning, from Robbie, Joe, and Anne to the rest of the fashion news team, and [...]

The Olsens bartending at Bergdorf Goodman.
Hundreds of retailers participated in Fashion’s Night Out on Thursday night. And even if you hit two or three stores on your tour de fashion, there’s no way you could be everywhere at once (unless you were Anna Wintour, whose poor driver must have had some sort of voodoo or [...]
Oscar de la Renta, Barbara Walters, Bette Midler, and Sarah Jessica Parker Sing-along Caught on Tape
As promised, Oscar de la Renta really did sing with Barbara Walters — oh, and Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker — in his Madison Avenue store for Fashion’s Night Out. SJP, who arrived a bit late, straight from the SATC 2 set, insisted she was pressed into the chorale unwittingly. “I didn’t know there [...]

As Fashion Week approaches, we hear about all kinds of collaborations and sponsorships—some totally logical, some seemingly pulled out of thin air.
This one, though random, we’re kind of digging: Pret A Manger, a favorite lunchtime sandwich chain, is sponsoring all the backstage catering for Oscar de la Renta, Jason Wu, Brian Reyes, Preen, Tory [...]
Fashion Week invitations are flooding in and while some, like Michael Kors and Oscar de la Renta stick to their classic cards, others use their invite as a sneak of their upcoming collections.
The most orginal, so far, are a fan from Ports 1961 and a video invite from Rachel Comey.
Mulberry’s brightly colored invite means it’ll [...]

Framed Jason Wu sketches!), the festivities also provide a [...]

Ten years ago, style icon and Video Look Book subject extraordinaire Daphne Guinness went through a painful split from her husband, Spyros Niarchos, heir of shipping magnate Stavros. Apparently, the isolation she endured in marriage was not unlike that suffered by Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert, who made a fortune off the time she [...]
