Runway Look of the Day: Proenza Schouler

Sep 17, 2009 @ 3:00 pm

My favorite look yesterday was Proenza Schouler’s optic-print minidress. I loved this show in general because it looked so new and unlike anyone else. They used color in an edgy, modern way that was still completely wearable.

Spring Runway Trend to Try Now: Sequins

Sep 17, 2009 @ 2:35 pm

The stars certainly know the power of a little sparkle (hello Diane Kruger!) and designers are feeling it too. Sequins are having a major moment on the spring runways, including at 3.1 Phillip Lim where the most exquisite range of sparkly blazers, shorts, dresses and tanks paraded down the red-hot runway. But this look is not just for parties! Try a sequined jacket with skinny jeans for a versatile look that works everywhere—day, night, office or outing.

Janet Jackson’s Favorite Look at Ralph Lauren

Sep 17, 2009 @ 2:00 pm

For his new collection, Ralph Lauren was inspired by “the resilient spirit of America”—a message that was exemplified by the front row of his runway show where Janet Jackson sat alongside the designer’s family. We asked Jackson which look she loved most from the presentation and it’s no surprise she choose the silver lame overalls—perfectly in tune with her show-stopping style.

Lauren Conrad has taken her fashion sensibilities to the masses with a new collection for Kohl’s called LC by Lauren Conrad. Check out her new behind-the-scenes video to learn about the inspiration behind her latest line and, more importantly, how she wants you to wear it! “Fall is all about layers,” says Conrad, who picks a tailored blazer as her quintessential layering piece for fall. She suggests that you style it with everything—floral dresses, jeans and tees alike.

Spring Trend To Try Now: Khaki Pants

Sep 17, 2009 @ 1:35 pm

Khaki washed over the Spring 2010 runways, specifically in the form of paperbag pants! Elie Tahari, VPL, Alexander Wang and Boy by Band of Outsiders all showed this flattering, cropped trouser with everything from blouses to blazers. But don’t wait till spring to invest in this versatile pant, wear your khakis now with a tailored button down and sky-high patent pumps like Beyonce!

Oprah Gets a “Mad Men” Makeover

Sep 17, 2009 @ 1:00 pm

If anyone has the power to step into a TV series—it’s Oprah Winfrey. The talk-show titan is taking a trip back in time—and into Mad Men—on a special ’60s-themed episode of her show. She enlisted series costume designer Janie Bryant to design a custom curve-clinging dress a la Joan Holloway (as played by Christina Hendricks, right). The result, a red satin number with a brooch closure, is worthy of a night out on the town with Don and Betty Draper. Let’s hope Winfrey invited January Jones and Jon Hamm (left) out for a cocktail after their visit to her retro set—even the Queen of Talk shouldn’t let such a wonderful beehive ‘do go to waste.

“The Oprah Winfrey Show: Oprah Goes Back in Time—The ’60s” airs on September 21st. Check your local listings for times.
