Behind the Seams Bill Blass Hits Saks Fifth Avenue

Behind the Seams Bill Blass Hits Saks Fifth Avenue

We've seen Peter Som's Fall '08 debut collection for Bill Blass, and I loved it so dearly, I want you to see it again, more close up.

A trunk show was held at the Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC, where the runway creations were brought to buyers and socialites. Notice them in the background, meticulously checking out Som's creations and determining which have the most selling power. The designer also made his first personal appearance to show off the ...

Sneak Peek! Karl Lagerfeld Behind the Camera

Sneak Peek! Karl Lagerfeld Behind the Camera

The usually stoic Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld let loose (and even cracked a slight smile) in Madison Square Park on Wednesday while he took on his other occupation: photographer.

His current muse, gazelle-like model Raquel Zimmerman, posed and made silly faces while the designer snapped away for what I'm assuming is the next Fendi ad campaign. Of course, he didn't leave home without his fingerless leather gloves, dark shades, and square-toe boots. I'm digging the tweed trench coat ...

LA Fashion Week, Fall 2008 Jenny Han

LA Fashion Week, Fall 2008 Jenny Han

Jenny Han knows how to please the ladies. Hard partying, Melrose shopping, brunch eating ladies. Her Fall collection of super femme designs has something for everyone.

Since 2004, Han has been churning out clothes that are “effortlessly elegant” and “indefinably charming," and her Fall collection is just that. With some youthful prints and thigh high mini skirts to add zest.

Silky party dresses, wide legged pants, cuffed shorts and sexy knits were all pleasing to the eye. Her cute outerwear ...

LA Fashion Week Trend Alert Little Red Riding Hood

LA Fashion Week Trend Alert Little Red Riding Hood

Randomly, Little Red Riding Hood made an appearance on the catwalks of LA Fashion Week. Except, the brave little girl came in the form of tall, beanpole models showing off a Fall 2008 trend: hoods. Striped cardigans had hoods at the Whitley Kros show (left); coats at the Alexis Lamontagna collection came hooded (right); and one of Octavio Carlin's silk dresses even incorporated the style. Before hoods signified a laid-back style, now they are a symbol of dressed-up ...

Falguni amp Shane Peacock Love It or Hate It?

Falguni amp Shane Peacock Love It or Hate It?

After a couple ho-hum shows at LA Fashion Week, this show was definitely not boring. Falguni & Shane Peacock sent out print after print of sexily draped dresses which would have been wonderful, if it wasn't for an excessive use of rhinestone and beading adornments. While a lesson in constraint was in order, I was wondering what you thought about this draped one shoulder print dress " don't forget to pay attention to those rhinestones on the bodice. ...

Exclusive Fab Interview With Nicholai by Nicky Hilton!

Exclusive Fab Interview With Nicholai by Nicky Hilton!

Let me tell ya, coming to LA Fashion Week, I was not expecting to claim Nicholai by Nicky Hilton as my favorite collection. The naughty equestrian clothes were desirable, but the designer herself was even more delightful. A supportive big sis Paris showed up backstage and naturally caused a frenzy. Oh, but before approaching Nicky and the photogs, Paris asked to see a mirror to inspect herself in her red Nicholai dress!
When the chaos died down, I chatted ...

Fab Face Amanda Laine

I've been waiting for months to hear who the winner of V Magazine's V A Model! search is, and that day has come " it's Amanda Laine.

That name may not mean much to you now, but it will in the near future. The 16-year-old Canadian has wasted no time delving right into the industry. She's signed a three-year contract with Supreme Management and already walked the European Fall shows: Prada and Marni in Milan and Balenciaga and ...

Celebrity Style Mischa Barton

Celebrity Style Mischa Barton

It makes me so happy to see Mischa Barton dressing Fab again. At Paris Fashion Week, the actress partied at Lou Doillon's party for Lee Cooper in a feminine purple, off-shoulder dress. Her pink satin Stella McCartney pumps add to the girlie vibe and provide some overall fanciness.

Paris Fashion Week, Fall 2008 Chanel

The house of Chanel has gone back to its roots. The carousel-ignited runway was awash with varicolored tweeds, black, denim, chains, and knits " quintessential Chanel. And there were all shades and treatments of Karl's favorite color: black tweed, black leather, black knits, black stockings, black jeweled berets. But, Karl never lets black bore.

To shake things up " and to keep catering to the youthquake of Hollywood, including show attendees, the Olsens " minis were every which ...

Paris Fashion Week, Fall 2008 Valentino

Paris Fashion Week, Fall 2008 Valentino

Now that Valentino has officially stepped down, succeeding designer Alessandra Facchinetti made her catwalk debut for Fall.

Compared to the pale pastels, bright zings of color, and oodles of ruffles Valentino has infused into his designs the last couple of seasons, Alessandra's work lacked a little of the label's joie de vivre. It could be the more subdued, Fall-appropriate color palette of navy, neutrals, blush, and mustard giving off that impression, but the keen attention to ...

Who Wore It Better? Chanel Willy Wonka Sunnies

Who Wore It Better? Chanel Willy Wonka Sunnies

From the streets of LA to Paris, Chanel's Willy Wonka-esque sunnies are going along for quite a fashionable ride. Nicole Richie wore them first throughout her pregnancy in LA, while Mary-Kate Olsen just sported them at Giambattista Valli's Fall '08 show at Paris Fashion Week. Both are linking arms with men, both are wearing black, but who wore the quirky Chanel sunnies better? Speaking of, what's your favorite sunglass style?

Cashmere Mafia member, Lucy Liu, attended Christian Dior's Autumn/Winter '08 collection in Paris dressed a lot like her character in a white Dior skirt suit and Dior handbag. Her crisp look takes power suit to new, feminine heights. On a different note, did you know that Lucy is also a painter? So much so that she has an exhibit opening in Munich on May 8. Who knew the Fab actress was so multitalented!
