For this collection, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig took their inspiration from the iconic Miss Havisham of Great Expectations. It’s a good fit for the Marchesa aesthetic, which has always tended toward extremely fussy gowns with a hint of the Victorian about them. This time, the...

OUT Magazine March 2011 Editorial: “Man at Work” Model: Tony Ward Photographer: Giampolo Sgura Stylist: Grant Woolhead Groomer: Sean Mikal at Starworks Artists We’ve often talked about “wanting to live” in this or that world, as fashion lays out one fantasy after...

Elie Tahari, it seems, is feeling the times like everyone else. It’s funny; due to the vagaries of Fashion Week scheduling , which required us to split up and watch shows separately, and the opportunity to attend shows in the skybox (Michael Kors and Nanette Lepore) or off-site (Oscar...

  True Blood‘s Joe Manganiello in LA.  Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk. Music loud and women warm. I’ve been kicked around since I was born. And now it’s all right, it’s O.K. And you may look the...

  Sarah Jessica Parker attends the ENK Fashion Coterie Fall 2011 event in New York City.   We are as wrapped up in thought over this outfit as Sarah Jessica is trying to appear in it. SJP takes an actress’ approach to fashion, as well she should. What we mean by that is, she...

If we were fashion editor types, we’d have a couple snappy descriptives on hand to describe those shockingly colorful chartreuse and blue pieces. Something like “avocado and cerulean,” although to be honest, that sounds more like appliance descriptions. This is why...

  Rihanna attends The Brit Awards 2011 in London in a Christian Dior couture gown.   Christian Dior Fall 2010 Couture Model: Jac (IMG)   We really want to like this, but it’s just not working for us. Which is a shame, because Rihanna has shown a talent for wearing couture...

  Darlings, even as we’re soaking our poor feet in recovery from New York, fashion marches on and right now, it’s clomping down runways at Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week. We’ve still got tons of NYFW collections to review, but for now, let’s have a little Sunday...

After viewing the Michael Kors show and nibbling on pastries, we were all set to depart the American Express Skybox, when they opened up the curtains on the other side of the room to reveal the Nanette Lepore show, which was just about to start next door. Never ones to pass up an opportunity...

W Magazine March 2011 Issue Editorial: “Venus de Mila” By Lynn Hirschberg Photographs by Craig McDean Styled by Alex White Hair by Paul Hanlon at Julian Watson Agency Makeup by Mark Carrasquillo for Art + Commerce “Venus de Mila” is a terrible pun and whoever came up...

Ah, Fashion Week. It all seems like a dream, except we have mountains of laundry to do and it all smells like Marc Jacobs’ Bang or Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue. As we wallow in our pajamas and revel in carbs again, let’s take one last, loving, bitchy look back. Hidetoshi...

  Debra Messing attends Michael Kors After Party at Carlyle Hotel in NYC in Michael Kors, of course.  Oh. Oh dear. We wanted to like this. We were prepared to like this. We do not like this. Okay, first: can we say something about the Lady Bird Johnson hair? Debra, honey. What IS...

You wouldn’t sit down to view a Calvin Klein menswear collection expecting to have a conversation about pushing the boundaries of a male silhouette, but here we are. Designer Italo Zucchelli says the collection evolved around the idea of protection, and there’s something very...

You know, Fashion Week had a lot of magical and exciting moments for us, but the true capper of the week, the fashion cherry on top of our Fashion Week sundae, was without a doubt, the Oscar de la Renta show. Before it even started, we were on Cloud 9: chatting on the way in with Joe Zee,...

  Donna Karan dress Harper’s Bazaar March 2011 Issue Editorial: “Cleopatra with a K” Photographer: Terry Richardson Fashion editor: Clare Richardson Say what you will about Kim Kardashian, she’s a beautiful woman and she looks great on that cover. But are we the...

  Diane Kruger at the Los Angeles premiere of “Unknown” in a white lace Dolce&Gabbana dress and nude Brian Atwood pumps.    Dolce&Gabbana Spring 2011 Collection Model: Anna Selezneva   Okay, let’s start this off by saying she’s IN, because...

The energy was very high in the tent for this show and by the end, the entire crowd was on its feet, applauding wildly. We weren’t feeling it. There are some very beautiful pieces here, but by the time we got to the end of the collection, with one outrageous gown after another coming...

Daniel Craig catching a flight at JFK airport in NYC.  It’s okay, Daniel. You’re among friends here. We won’t judge you for the harsh and unflattering lighting (and the fact that you’re makeup-free), nor will we judge you for not being perfectly turned out in...

Here we go, kittens. You know what to do.  Kelly Osbourne looks like a Grease chorus member. Johnny Weir is a Precious Fashion Lady. Leigh Lezark looks pretty fierce. As always, Paz de la Huerta looks like she’s been wearing her outfit for at least 40 hours. Jerry Seinfeld looks...

Several celebrities attended the opening gala for “Set In Style: The Jewelry Of Van Cleef & Arpels” at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York City. We got invited to a press review and breakfast to view the exhibit and never made it due to show commitments, but...

One of the cappers to our week at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was the sentence, “Tom and Lorenzo, welcome to the American Express Skybox.” The night before, we were invited to the highly exclusive skybox to watch the Michael Kors show from some of the best seats in the house,...
