LA Fashion Week Heats Up: Concept FW's Creative Installations and Rockin' Runway Looks

Lina Lecaro Mo Wear Women.​ Will the real LA Fashion Week please stand up? Between Fashion's Night Out last month, and the random designer events that have taken place since, many Angelenos might have no idea that indeed, it is officially runway time here in Los Angeles. This coming weekend w ... More >>

Tokyo Fashion Ass-Whooping

I put together this little assemblage of girls from Tokyo Fashion Week, which preceded our Fashion Week by one month. Must Tokyo so thoroughly kick our ass in the fashion creativity department? I mean, they've got drama and weirdness down, obviously. Like, what's with the pink crablike neck corsage ... More >>

Fashion Week Diary: Goodie Bag Confidential--The Stuff!

Fashion Week is over now, but for my final Fashion Week post, I wanted to show you what was inside the goodie bags. Every designer, if you sit in the front two rows or so, gives out a goodie bag. Each night, I'd come home, deposit the bags on the floor and sort through the contents. This is a port ... More >>

Fashion Week Diary: Gen Art, Girls in Pink, Boys in Pink, Man in Shroud of Flannel

The other night was more Gen Art. Again at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Eight new designers showed collections, six womenswear (Nanushka, Quail, Peonie, Wayf, Laeken, Maxine Dillon) and two menswear (Wayne Hadly, KZO). My favorites were KZO and Laeken. This is KZO. It's designed by a bashful y ... More >>

L.A. Fashion Awards Not Happening This Year

The L.A. Fashion Awards are on hiatus until 2009. Why? Money. As in, not enough of it. Those are the awards that come at the end of Fashion Week. Co-founder Jen Uner told Apparel News “The L.A. Fashion Awards have tremendous support from the fashion community, but the business community hasn’t b ... More >>

Fashion Week, Take 2: Marvin & Quetzal line dazzles

Sleek and elegant, but still tinged with that trademark vibe of rascally weirdness, the fall/winter line by Marvin & Quetzal helped finish Fashion Week Mexico with a dazzling bang. The young duo, among the most promising working in Mexico today, used a bright palette of colors yet managed to kee ... More >>

Fashion Week, Take 1: Paola Hernandez dolls it up

It's Fashion Week Mexico right now, a week-long fair of new moda showcasing the fall and winter collections from many of Mexico's established designers and some exciting up-and-comers. Five years ago such a sentence might have sounded like an oxymoron. A fashion "scene," in Mexico City? Yet the ... More >>

FASHION NIRVANA?

LA Fashion week is in full swing, and though it's too early to make judgments about the season as a whole, some definite trends are already emerging. Hello again grunge! Yes, the plaid flannel is flapping in the breeze once again, along with Chris Cornell hair, motorcycle boots, Indiana Jones-styl ... More >>

Heavens to Betsey

We love retro fashion references as much as (maybe more than) the next wear-bear, but the regurgitation coming out of New York Fashion week this season is ridiculous. Cobrasnake's crusty slacker scene aside (see previous post), the 70's and 80's aren't just serving as inspiration these days, they ... More >>

15 More Minutes

Fashion week is officially over, but that doesn't mean the strutting has stopped completely. Thanks to a power outage in my area, I missed the David Yurman menswear show at the Paramour mansion last night (cant get dressed in the dark!) but I hear it was, as Kimora Lee Simmons would say, pure fabu ...

Smashbox: Day One: Nicky Hilton's Chick

A few changes at the tents in Culver City this year, for one no VIP tent, which was a better place to hang out, a little more removed from the lobby sleaze, err, I mean fleas of fashion weeks of yore, and if there wasn't a VIP tent, that meant the little patio outside the VIP tent, with couches ...

BOXeight: Eco Nouveau

We arrived back at Vibiana Saturday well into the all-day BoxEight Eco-Nouveau event which included spoken word, a couple of films and a music performance, around a few fashion shows celebrating all things eco chic. We made it just in time to be seated for Gary Harvey's show, or so we thought. What ... More >>

Fashion Week(S) ! BoxEight Kicks It Off

L.A. Fashion Week Smackdown

Jared Gold’s runway spectacle competes with Smashbox shows as Bobby Trendy says he never took money for interviews about Anna Nicole Smith and disses Howard.

Jared Gold's Not-So-Quiet Army

It was billed as "the wildest front row in all of Fashion Week." You sometimes get a tranny or two in the audience at Smashbox Studios, site of L.A.'s official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, but never in the numbers or caliber of the sparkling array of gorgeous cross-dressers in falsies and heels that ...

Where Are You Hollywood?

Last season we had Charlize. Jack Nicholson. Lara Flynn Boyle. Courtney Love. Tommy Lee. Gina Gershon. Anthony Keidis. Mena Suvari. Mike Tyson. Er...Sporty Spice. And of course there was Paris. Aahhh, we'll always have Paris...or so LA Fashion Week thought. But so far this season, and with only ... More >>

Metro 7: Wal-Mart's Debut

That's right I said Wal-Mart. I was up to the congested sinus cavities with apprehension and preconcieved notions. The show itself was partnered with MyTVNetwork and their two shows, Fashion House and Watch Over Me, the former a bitch-slap-athon Dynasty style between Bo Derek and Morgan Fairchild, ... More >>

My Fashion Week Haute List

Between all the schmoozing and the boozing, the cruising and the perusing (someone stop me, please), it was near impossible to find the time to do any actual writing about fashion. Now that I've had a few days to process the peculiarly exhausting whirlwind that is LA Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios ... More >>

We Heart Denim...Honest

I'm not sure if any of us Style Council gals were at the denim shows last night... Buffalo, Yanuk and Taverniti were the designers showing, and even though denim and sportwear are LA's greatest exports - or at least most lucrative - how exciting can a pair of jeans get, right? Maybe that's why I ... More >>
