Runway Look of the Day: Derek Lam

Feb 17, 2010 @ 11:05 am

I loved the fresh wearable American feel of the Derek Lam show, especially the fitted tweed sweater and scarf layered over an orange top and boot-leg pant. The clothes looked luxurious and comfortable. The models could have walked right off the runway and hopped in a taxi!

Adam Lambert: “I Missed the ’80s!”

Feb 17, 2010 @ 8:00 am

Adam Lambert is trapped in the wrong decade! “The ’80s were just so much more fun!” the pop star told us from the front row at The Blonds’ runway show yesterday. “It was cool for a guy to wear eye makeup and glitter and headbands. I feel like I missed out, but I am trying to revive it!” Lambert said he looks to one of the decade’s megastars for style inspiration: “David Bowie is my #1.”

Alexa Chung Dishes on Her Madewell Collection

Feb 16, 2010 @ 10:00 am

For Alexa Chung’s debut collection for Madewell, presented at the Bowery Hotel, the stylish Brit modeled brown velvet hot shorts (“a control top tight is the key!”) and a white silk blouse from her new line. “This is a pretty selfish collection—it’s basically everything I want to wear, things that make your friends go, ‘Oh, where did you get that?’ It’s also inspired by a lot of vintage pieces I own that I wanted to tweak,” Chung told us. But even she’ll admit not all her ideas are fashionable: “I did try to make a denim leotard and it turned out so bad we had to axe it.” More

Runway Look of the Day: Marc Jacobs

Feb 16, 2010 @ 9:00 am

From the quiet, controlled sophistication of his tailoring and sportswear to the glorious, timeless evening dresses at the end, the Marc Jacobs show was pure poetry. I loved the brilliant gold and silver-sequined gown best. It had a glamorous retro feel in a classic Old Hollywood way.

Feb 15, 2010 @ 5:00 pm

While going over details of her “daring” and “sophisticated” new collection today, Victoria Beckham hinted at what she’ll be wearing on Oscars night for the Elton John AIDS Foundation‘s annual Academy Awards party. A model stepped out wearing a stunning off-the-shoulder silk gown (left) and Beckham said, “It looks effortless, it looks chic and I’m going to wear this to the Oscars”. She also told the intimate crowd of editors that her refined fall lineup was inspired by 1940s-era Dick Tracy comic-strips. “It’s ’30s and ’40s-influence mixed with cutting-edge uses of fabric,” Beckham said.

Sophia Bush’s Backstage Dressing Room

Feb 15, 2010 @ 11:00 am

With three back-to-back runway shows on her Sunday schedule, Sophia Bush had to get creative to make all her outfit changes at the tents. “I’ll change behind any one of these [backstage] curtains,” revealed the One Tree Hill star, who swapped her flirty skirt and jacket at Rebecca Taylor (left) for a sexy Herve Leger minidress (middle), then changed once more into a pink dress and biker jacket for the Diane von Furstenberg show (right). “If I could do sneak into the back of the tents and watch all the shows in my sweats, I would, but you can’t do that at Fashion Week!” Bush said with a smile.
