Though most of the attention and flash bulbs are aimed at Lincoln Center during February and September’s fashion weeks, it’s at the events scattered across the Meatpacking district and Midtown where some of the best new things are happening, sans a million dollar runway show. That’s just what happened last (continued…)
Though it was, as per usual, billed as the most high energy show of fashion week, this season’s Custo Barcelona show was less obviously intense than perhaps any other of his collections. This does not mean that it wasn’t a bit of a mess at times. It’s important to say (continued…)
Filmmakers love the listless, amorphous depression that seems to coat the American suburbs and their hapless residents. It’s laid on thick in the opening scene of Julian Farino’s feature film debut “The Oranges,” as Vanessa Walling (Alia Shawkat), poses the film’s driving conflict in an ironic Daria monotone: “The question (continued…)
Lars Andersson’s collections are a bit atypical for Fashion Week. He only does knits–beautiful knits, but only knits. So it’s a bit of a testament then that he’s still showing despite only ever showing knits. Lars himself is a curious fellow. He learned to knit as a kid (with toothpicks, (continued…)
‘Oh no, again, with the white,’ were the words that came to mind as the first few looks of Nomia’s S/S 2013 collection walked. An unfair assessment given that had Yara Flinn presented her line earlier in the week, the sentiment wouldn’t have obstructed anyone’s view of it at all, (continued…)
Every Fashion Week it’s inevitable that you come across several newer designers at off-site events and wonder why they’re not showing at Lincoln Center already. And it’s an entirely different matter to go to a runway show at the Lincoln Center Stage and wonder why the designer didn’t show at (continued…)
Daniella Kallmeyer has moved through several phases in the five collections she’s shown to date. From seeing her darkly ladylike lines from the Fall and Spring of 2011 to the lively, inventive pieces she showed this past February, you wouldn’t peg her next direction as sportif. But that’s exactly where (continued…)
In the scope of things, I haven’t been attending runway shows for a very long time, so for what it’s worth, tonight was the first time I have ever heard applause and gasps audible from the other side of the room during a show. There has always seemed to be (continued…)
The damp, dark, stifling air of Pier 57′s runway space did little to add to the effect Siki Im seemed to be attempting with his Spring 2013 collection. The programs read that the pieces had been created with Georgia O’Keefe’s New Mexico desert house in mind; a dry, calm sort (continued…)
Blogger Rumi Neely stars in Forever 21 ad campaign [divider] f you remember the days of Livejournal, you know what the dawn of blogging was like. It was completely independent opinion, free from the constraints of sponsor reliability and advertisements that had become a part of every other form of (continued…)
Fashion Designer Marc Jacobs. Photo: Ed Kavishe for fashionwirepress he lines between high fashion and art are by definition not very sharp. Which is why it’s sometimes easy to forget all of the commerce behind a runway show if you’re only watching it. Designers do not work alone; it takes (continued…)
Though this used to be a faux pas of the highest order (our moms agree, by the way), it started being a no-no in a time when your purse had to match your shoes and your hat as well as your skirt set and your hairclips. If you’re going (continued…)
It was a bit confusing walking into Irina Shabayeva’s A/W 2012 presentation at the Eventi Hotel, and even more so if you’d walked up 29th Street to get there and seen the live projection of the collection on a cinema screen hung on an adjacent building. Courtesy Photo It felt (continued…)
Courtesy Photo The promise of pooling hemlines and liquid sequins made by Badgley Mischka’s Pre-Fall collection was quite fulfilled in their A/W runway showing. It was almost too luxurious, too golden and furred and glowing. But then again, it was Badgley Mischka, and therefore the pieces being incredibly glamorous sure (continued…)
Courtesy Photo “I thought she did corsets? This is just wonderful,” marveled a guest as she pointed to a heavy, flowing brown overcoat with a lush fur collar at Norisol Ferrari’s Lincoln Center debut last Tuesday. The presentation, staged in The Box, featured only two live models: Mad Max looking (continued…)
