Runway Looks We Love: Proenza Schouler

Sep 15, 2011 @ 5:45 pm

Proenza Schouler‘s Spring 2012 collection was a ’50s-inspired secretary chic mash-up of oranges, greens, and browns accented with black and gold. Pencil skirts paired with bustiers exuded sex appeal, while the designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez‘s sly sense of humor came across in the vaguely ’70s Hawaiian prints. Wood-paneled platforms and flatforms, woven raffia handbags with chain-link straps, and cat-eye sunglasses accessorized each look. Click through the gallery to see some of our favorite looks from the collection!

Michelle Obama Celebrates J. Mendel’s 2011 Fashion Design Award

Sep 15, 2011 @ 1:40 pm

Gilles Mendel, the designer behind J. Mendel, dresses celebrities like Taylor Swift, Mila Kunis, Zoe Saldana, and Hilary Swank all the time, but there was one introduction that left him starstruck—First Lady Michelle Obama. “I had a moment with Mrs. Obama and she was so gracious,” Mendel told InStyle.com at his New York Fashion Week show yesterday. His moment happened at the National Design Awards at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt Museum in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, where the designer accepted this year’s Fashion Design Award, winning over finalists Prabal Gurung and Jason Wu, both of whom dressed the First Lady in the past. “I sat next to her during the luncheon,” he continued. “It was so surreal. She really was a vision. I’m critical, but I have to say—she blew my mind. She was so perfect!” So does this mean we’ll be seeing the First Lady wear a J. Mendel design for the first time soon? “I have millions of ideas for her,” he said. “I’m working on it.
