Thanks to Black Swan, you can expect to see a lot of ballet-inspired looks on the runways in the near future. There’s a symbiotic relationship between the fashion and entertainment industries and they are constantly pulling inspiration back and forth from each other. It doesn’t...

Don’t let the surprising burst of James Bondian elegance at the beginning fool you. Jean Paul Gaultier’s singular vision is as strong as it ever was. After the “cocktails at 8″ opening, a flurry of looks, ranging from androgynous to an over the top hirsuteness; sporty...

Project Runway Season 6 winner Irina Shabayeva launched her spring 2011 collection for INC International Concepts, sold exclusively at Macy’s. It looks like some decent wardrobe basics for the urban 20-something gal. Good for her. She’s working her ass off to be more than just a...

Style.com sees influences galore: “For all anyone knew, the guys might have been from Kentucky or Kazakhstan, but dressed in McQueen, they were rough trade for Oscar Wilde, or stiff-upper-lippers in a Powell and Pressburger celluloid classic from the second World War, or military cadets...

Unborn fawns, before we open the T Lounge for our usual Tuesday night of pretend-carousing, let’s all find our center and look at some pretty. Specifically, these looks from the first couple days of Hong Kong Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 in Hong Kong, China. We could stare at some of...

The Dirk Bikkembergs man spends a lot of time at the gym; so much time, that he needs special Dirk Bikkembergs clothes to accommodate his gym-perfect body. Pants? Not for these thunder-thighed males. It’s basket-hugging capris all the way. And hey, so what if your arms are so big you...

The show notes declared, “With royal marriage in the air, who would you choose to be your bridegroom? Come on girls, our catwalk is your chance to dream.” Cute, but Prince William is just about the last person who springs to mind upon viewing this collection of rich plaids and...

Imagine Lorenzo’s reaction when he saw this collection, which featured the expected plaid as well as the somewhat unexpected color; the bright, saturated oranges, yellows, and greens. What can we say, kittens? We know what we like and two of the things we like are colors and plaids. It...

You can count on Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana to give you sexy, masculine looks with a twist and a sense of fun. We may not personally live the kind of life that calls for sequined or distressed velvet tuxedo jackets, but someone does and we envy them. Love the rich shades of red and...

  The latest collection by Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri for Valentino is called “Techno Couture” and with one glance, you can immediately see some of the house’s iconic and overtly feminine motifs: roses, ruffles, and bows. The palette is subdued, with...

The Proenza Schouler boys looked to South America for inspiration this time around; not so much in the shapes and certainly not in a literal way, but in the colors and the prints. We tend to think of the boys much in the same way we think of the Rodarte girls. That is to say, they have a...

Boogie nights. If you’re Marc Jacobs, here’s how you do the ’70s: take one part Rocky Horror Picture Show, one part Studio 54, add a soupcon of Bianca Jagger and Marisa Berenson, and sprinkle liberally with Ziggy Stardust. We’re of many minds on this one. In some...

Cozy clothes. Kittens, the word for this collection is “rich.” Rich colors, rich textures, rich patterns, these are clothes you just want to reach out and run your hand over. The other word is “unusual.” We wouldn’t go quite so far as to say it’s an...

Paging Dr. Whitfield. Carol Hannah deserves major props for her collection, not because it was flawless (it wasn’t), but because it stood out as having a unique and strong point of view in a finale that was top-heavy with the combined aesthetic of IrinAlthea. The girl likes her frippery...

It’s McQueen, darlings! Style: “Alexander McQueen may be the last designer standing who is brave or foolhardy enough to present a collection that is an unadulterated piece of hard and ballsy showmanship. The heated arguments that broke out afterward were testament to that. There...

Style says it better than we could: “John Galliano struck out on his own into the frozen wastes of Russian-Balkan folklore for Fall. A micro-bubble snowstorm was falling on the runway, and a trick of laser lighting created a magical illusion that the models were walking in some...

Posh recently showed off her latest collection of looks, which might as well been called “The Inside of My Closet.” Style.com was there: “The fits-like-a-glove sheath made a reappearance, this time in soft gray cashmere with little cap sleeves. New to the mix were short day...

Balenciaga, Kenley’s favorite fashion house, presented its Fall 2009 collection this week. Instead of the sci-fi-inspired looks we’ve seen before, Nicolas Ghesquiere presented a softer and more feminine look inspired by the sari draping of India. The most talked-about part of his...

  style.com has the goods: “This season it’s highlighter yellow and pink—somewhat challenging shades, but certainly timely—in stretch knit dresses with graphic cutouts or in silk overlaid with black lace. Even more unexpected were the black and white camouflage pieces...

Darlings, Korto showed some of her designs for Fall 2009 during the taping of BET’s Rip the Runway set to air on Monday, March 2 at 9 P.M. ET/PT. The BET fashion show is known for featuring leading urban designers. UPDATED: More looks/pics and video [Photos:...

Adorable widdle Zac Posen and his adorable widdle cheeks did some sort of fashion thing last week. “For Fall, he enlisted The 5 Browns—a brother and sister piano troupe—to play on five Steinways arrayed down the middle of the runway, and he sent out a collection of forties-inflected...
