Trend We Love: Digital Fashion Shows Like Rachel Roy and Pierre Balmain

Feb 21, 2013 @ 10:56 am

If you think you love Fashion Week livestreaming, check out the latest trend: digital fashion shows! Designers like Rachel Roy, Pierre Balmain, and Peter Som decided to take ‘streaming one step further, ditching an audience-filled show altogether in favor of a taped runway you could only see on your computer screen. “A digital show allowed me to tell the story of my fall collection in a new way and share that with a larger audience,” Roy told InStyle.com, adding that she was able to share more behind-the-scenes looks through social media with the digital format. “I wanted it to be very inclusive and create experiences that people who love fashion can engage with.” Get in on the digital fashion show action: Watch Rachel Roy’s online-only runway show above!

Rob Lowe and Sofia Vergara held a hilarious impromptu beauty pageant when they presented the nominees in the Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category at the 2011 Emmy Awards tonight. But the presenters didn’t announce what they wore—so we will! From left to right:

Tina Fey in a black gown by Tadashi Shoji; Martha Plimpton in sparkling burgundy Zac Posen; Melissa McCarthy in a custom-designed dress; Amy Poehler in shimmery blue Peter Som; Edie Falco in a one-shoulder Randi Rahm design; and Laura Linney in a chic Celine LBD.

McCarthy ultimately took home the win. “Holy smokes,” she said as she took her statue. “Wow, it’s my first and best pageant ever.” After the show, Martha Plimpton admitted it was ultimately her and Poehler’s idea. “The whole point is that we should be up there celebrating each other,” Plimpton told InStyle.com. “If there’s no spontaneity and no fun, then what’s the point?” See what everyone wore on the 2011 Emmys red carpet in the gallery! Plus, watch McCarthy’s acceptance speech and pageant smile in the clip below. More

Instant Fashion Week Trend: Ponytails

Feb 16, 2011 @ 11:15 am

One of the biggest hairstyle trends we’ve seen on the fall runways this week is a timeless classic—the ponytail. BCBG Max Azria (top left) and Diane Von Furstenberg (bottom right) both showed a slick low ponytail, while Peter Som (bottom left) swept his teased ponytails to the side for a messier, sexy look. Marc Jacobs (top right) also had his models wear ponies, only his were mounted high and hair wrapped around the bands. What’s your favorite way to wear a ponytail? Tell us in the comments!

Runway Looks We Love: Peter Som

Feb 11, 2011 @ 4:45 pm

With hooded parkas styled over pink dresses, Peter Som‘s fall 2011 collection exuded fifties ladylike charm with a touch of tomboy. Bright pops of cerise added freshness to the long lengths, while gorgeous all-over sequin dresses and trousers mixed up more traditional looks. Som collaborated with Charlotte Olympia for statement shoes, including neon-tinged pointy-toe pumps and ankle boots. Hairstylist Eugene Souleiman created big bouffants, while MAC’s Tom Pecheux kept the skin clean so the lips popped. Click through the gallery to see some of our favorite looks from the Peter Som show.
