Wet hair has been an emerging beauty trend for spring ’12 (call it the Hurricane Irene effect), but that wasn’t the reason for Sky Ferreira’s damp tresses at the Alexander Wang after-party. “No Jello shots for me,” she said of the frat-themed fete. “But I did get water poured on my head by Tyler, the Creator. It burned a little bit, but it was fun.” The musician-slash-model has been busy—“right now I’m just working on my album,” Ferreira said from the front row at Jeremy Scott—but she’s found time to see the collections of her favorite designers. “I only go to shows that I’m a fan of, that I like the clothes,” she noted (among the ones that made the cut were Scott as well as Theyskens‘ Theory). On the other hand, British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding—who was seated next to Ferreira—has been going to shows on the recommendation of her stylist. With appearances at Scott, Betsey Johnson, and Charlotte Ronson, Goulding admitted that she has been making a mental list of clothing she’d like to wear while performing. She added, however, that she’d ultimately love to be doing the designing herself: “I would definitely [start a label]. I see other people wearing stuff that helps them onstage, because it’s not easy to run around and sing and dance and still wear something really amazing. So, it’s finding that kind of outfit, really.” Ultimately, it wasn’t the established designers who wowed Goulding; the stand-out of her New York Fashion Week “was the ELLE [Fashion Next] show, because I saw some incredible stuff. I was just really inspired. Even though I’m a musician, it’s so good to see such amazing talent. Like, a dress made out of human hair? Amazing!”
