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 ...

My(Space) Secret is Out: Cold War Kids Play For Free

If you have a MySpace page, then lucky you. You can diddle away hours at work, perp for dates, check up on exs, plug your band, and now...you can attend their secret shows. Well, they've been going on for a year, whether you knew you were invited or not. Last February, MySpace launched "Secret Show ... More >>

The Greatest TV Love Story of My Time

When I was a kid I was forbidden from watching soap operas, while my mother, however, was glued to the TV set each afternoon watching General Hospital. I used to try and sneak my way in, ask my mom annoying questions so that I could get a peak at the banned program. I imagined they did all sorts o ... More >>

Dina Bar-El: Red Carpet Safe

Angela Basset sat in the front row across from me at the Dina Bar-El Show, eyeing the gowns with a cautious look. All of dresses were perfect for premieres, award shows, and trophy wife fundraising. But few I felt were really flashbulb magnets. They were the kinds of dresses you'd see on the cast ... More >>

Alan Del Rosario: What About Prom?

Hmmm...Hmmm...I am trying to think of something nice to say, so I don't get death threats this season. But I could sum up this collection by saying I feel like I looked at most of these dresses when I was in high school searching for one to wear to the prom. Remember Zum Zum? I pretty sure I wore on ... More >>

Frankie B. Jeans & Genes

Frankie B. designer Daniella Clarke was inspired by her "love affair with music" for her latest collection, not too surprising considering she married a musician— Gilby Clarke a former Guns-n-Roser. So what does a "love affair with music" look like? Smudgey morning after a night on a tour bu ... More >>

Corey Lynn Calter: Pretty Persuasion

Last time I saw her show snowflakes fell from the heavens, and fairytale inspired dresses swooshed up and down the runway. This show was less magical, in that way, but more refined and elegant. There were still whimsical details, butterfly buttons, polka dots and feathers. It was Holly Hobbie move ... 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.

Well, they weren't exactly the Oscars, but the red carpet was rolled out for the first ever LA Fashion Awards Friday night just the same.

KooKoo for Coco

Backstage after the Coco Klicks show, Coco tells me, between kisses from her family members, that her new line was inspired by Mutiny On The Bounty and the exotic beauty of the Tahitian women that lured Captain Bligh's men.
