As long as celebrities give us news through Twitter — even if it’s news that shouldn’t be news or doesn’t seem like news — the medium promises to flourish. However, could the beginning of the end be on the horizon? Sessilee Lopez tweeted twelve hours ago, “sorry twitter but this is my very last tweet [...]

Keeping Score: Let the NYFW wrap-ups begin. First up, the Wall Street Journal’s scorecard. {WSJ}
Tweet, Tweet: Britt and I developed a pretty serious Twitter addiction over the past 10 days. We literally couldn’t stop ourselves and almost lost it when our phones died. She’s already in London, so you can keep up by following Fashionista_com. [...]
A self-proclaimed mermaid, I drowned in Proenza Schouler’s aquatic chic Spring collection. It wasn’t evident right away – leather and bondage shirt dresses and jackets opened. And then, like a flurry of fish, tiered and ruffled frocks in teals, turquoise, and acid green stole the scene. Seaweed sequins in purple and emerald, and even some [...]

Sometimes it’s not a hard decision. This was my favorite gown at Marchesa. Done. Why is it always the purple one? While we ponder that, also notice the hand-painted floral tattoo hosiery – pretty cool. And those are custom Louboutins, in case you were wondering. Marchesa was inspired by “the drama and romance of Madame [...]

When the runway is red and the invite has a threaded red stripe through it, does that promise a red-hot collection? When it’s Phillip Lim it does. As expected, Lim’s first couple looks were red – a lipstick-red double-breasted shirt jacket and roll-down waist pants, a slick red rain trench, red crystal sunglasses (have to [...]

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 is a quiet force and I think we just witnessed his best collection yet. Stay tuned for an exclusive interview with stylist to Rachel Bilson and Kristen Bell, Nicole Chavez, who I chatted with preshow, but for now, feast. The Spring wears flowed like a Muse song – some soft and feminine, some [...]

While Rebecca Minkoff was expanding her fashion empire, showing her capsule Spring RTW collection and newest trendy accessories at New York Fashion Week, Lauren Conrad and Michelle Tractenberg dropped by in the same black and white polka-dot blouse – I’m guessing it’s from the designer’s aforementioned collection. Lauren upped the style ante in cropped leather [...]

If you suffer from pediophobia, you may despise Marc Jacob’s Spring collection. A mix of harlequin, geisha, and cabaret cutie, ultimately, the theatric collection manifested like a melange of stern-faced dolls in high-fashion fixings. An abundance of ruffles, sometimes completely covering a frock, is over-the-top femme. Beading, layering, florals and plaids, and inside-out corsetry gave [...]

Upon entering the Donna Karan venue, you were put into a Zen state by loud, yet soothing, Annie Lennox music. My Zen was mildly interrupted by Milla Jovovich, in an awesome striped dress, who sat in the front row with Rachel Zoe and Elle’s Joe Zee. These three were very chummy, cozy. But once the [...]

Imagination. It’s nice to see some imagination. Optimism. Fun. Stars. Derek Lam delivered a highly entertaining collection – you didn’t know what to expect next. Carnival colors mixed with womanly separates, all with a ’40s flair. Though lovely, this collection left me wondering one thing: where are the gowns? Lam chose to finish his runway [...]

Go Team Wang. For Spring, the designer shifted direction, lightened the mood, used less black, experimented with texture and layers, introduced funky sunglasses. All good choices, in my humble opinion. Always veering on the sporty, shoulder-accentuated heather gray sweatshirts evoked images of football players. Leather shorts and crop tops were fit for the boxing ring. [...]

I was there – I promised I would be. Poppy Delevigne, Lauren Santo Domingo, Karolina Kurkova, Phillip Lim, and key fashion players, were there. How exciting was the news about Richard Chai’s lower-priced contemporary line for guys and gals? Today, I witnessed the women’s collection and was completely impressed. Then, I remembered the price point [...]

We got to Lacoste this morning at 10 a.m. — cherishing fond memories both of our beds and the coffee we were forced to surrender at the door — and were shuffling, bleary-eyed, toward our section, when we saw something that woke us right up. Taped to one of the prime front-row seats was a [...]
