In the show notes, after the information about the blending of modern tech and old techniques through the use of digital printing on unusual surfaces like velvet, neoprene and tweed, there were only two sentences talking about the inspiration  behind the collection: “The collection started as a view of parallel times and the thread progressed from there. The past plays out in the present.” “Hunh,” we said. “That’s kind of obscure, isn’t it?” Then the show started and we were treated to Hendrix jackets, fringe, bell bottoms, and floppy hats, with retina-burning florals and neon plaids....

Celebrity-watching is ever so much more fun than bird-watching, don’t you find? General Idea Fall 2012 Show Kellan Lutz We have a story. Unless you’re sitting directly across from them, it’s sometimes hard to see which celebrities are attending a show because the tent is dark...

We LOVED this look: And we definitely would have picked it for the win. It was easily the most high fashion of all the looks walking that runway. We think the pants are somewhat oddly fitted but the top is so bold-looking and so classically chic that we’re a bit disappointed she...

There’s a lot to love about this collection, starting with the colors. Gorgeous, saturated yellows, oranges and greens paired with the beiges and camels that prevent them from being too much. Everything is bold, graphic, and luxe. There was a lot of play with pleating, which we really...

You can never, ever, ever accuse Cynthia Rowley of taking fashion too seriously. Nor can you accuse of her being a trend chaser. It’s not that she makes clothes for herself, but she clearly makes clothes for women like her, urban, educated, expressive, upscale women – who all kind...

We wouldn’t ever have pegged Leighton as the kind of gal who can make a difficult dress work, since she’s the kind of gal who can’t even make simple dresses work half the time. Leighton Meester attends the amfAR New York Gala To Kick Off Fall 2012 Fashion Week in NYC in Louis...

Snakes in a box! Killer kittens! It was WILD KINGDOM on the It’s Just JustRaymona! show last night, darlings! Our contestants: Barbie, Pageant Nerd, Sunday School Teacher, and Fast-Talker. All have to make something out of cheap, ugly snakeskin print fabric. Barbie  We kind of wanted...

We suppose we could have been predictable about it and used our love of this collection to spin off some sort of tortured reference to the “love” in the line’s name, but we’ve got a lot of shows today and we don’t have time for your silly word games. GOD we need...

Darlings, what’s the very best thing about attending New York Fashion Week? Celebrity spotting! And then bitchily judging their outfits! It’s the least we could do, since their presence causes so many flashes to go off, we’re always a little afraid we’re going to have...

Every week this show just keeps turning up the dials at a steady, confident pace. In fact, the pacing is one of the best things about the writing on Revenge and it struck us at the end of this episode that we’d been like little frogs in a pot of water all along and things had just hit...

Darlings, unfortunately we can’t provide screencaps this morning, so use your no-doubt formidable memories to illustrate the following brief recap: The designers all have to make sportswear looks and are pitted against each other in teams of two. Michael and Mondo turn into whiny babymen...

Darlings, we don’t know about y’all, but we’re being fueled entirely by coffee and fabulosity at this point – and we’ve still got 5 full days of Fashion Week ahead of us. The important thing is that we go through it feeling pretty and we assure you, that...

Darlings, we’ll take Manhattan, but you all are heading off to Warsaw for a night of pierogies and vodka! We can’t make it due to a full dance card of New York Fashion Week events, but we’ve set up a tab for you guys, so pack your panties and get jetting.  Velvet Bar at the...
