According to yesterday’s shows, laid-back luxe is next spring’s big theme. At Costello Tagliapietra, Tess Giberson, and Doo.Ri relaxed sophistication ruled—in fact, we may have even spotted a bathrobe turned evening dress at one… At Costello, fashion’s favorite burly duo took on the 30′s with fluttering sleeves and soft silhouettes, mostly fashioned in sandy tones with bits of kelly green and cerulean. A pairing of abstract floral-y prints (an modern interpretation of the decade’s sweet-pea fare) were manufactured using new Air Dye technology, an eco-friendly technique that reduces textile production’s pollutant aftereffects. All of this was translated into the brand’s signature draped dresses that delicately emphasized the female form with that sense of Clara Bow knowing innocence. Doo Ri Chung also employed draping techniques, starting things off with a modified tuxedo shirtdress that was lightly gathered on the bias. Chung’s collection progressed with a series of louche pants and dresses, constructed of white poplin, linen tweed, and jersey—some embellished with string. Cutting through the airy whites were silkscreened stencil florals and injections of ’ultra-violet’ and ‘citron,’ an attempt at updating the designer’s trademark draped cocktail wear—a simplistic formula that doesn’t really need much tweaking. Rounding out the group was a great, focused collection by Tess Giberson, whose downtown ease was evident in multiple pairs of printed sheer palazzo pants and lightweight haphazard knits affixed to mesh T shirts. The most covetable of Giberson’s pieces were easy monochromatic suits and oddly enough, an oversized blue anorak—the kind of quintessential spring pieces that any girl could throw on for every occasion.

Yesterday, at his first stateside presentation, Mark Fast debuted his premier shoe effort. The shoes, produced in collaboration with ALDO, accompanied his diffusion line, Faster, and were inspired by “the industrial creation of garments,” Fast told us. For spring, Faster’s crochet bodysuits and bodycon dresses are fashioned in chalky pastels and are tight, tight, tight. Fast said he’s into creating a second skin to give women the chance to, “get across a message of confidence.” Later, at Hexa by Kuho, Jung Kuho showed off his tailoring skills in a spring collection that looked like what we imagine the most fashion-forward army brats to wear through the streets of Seoul—sharp jackets, shorts, and shirts (sometimes combined into onesies) in a palette of white, teal, and burgundy topped off with military crests. Simultaneously concise and experimental, more than one editor was spellbound by Kuho’s innovative craftsmanship.

Who knew Alexander Wang was so in touch with his inner-bro? The designer threw a frat party on the Westside Highway last night, and we do mean a real life frat party. There were actual bathtubs full of Budweiser, bartenders in USC football tees, beer pong tables, video games, neon signs and hot dogs on the grill—of course, the crowd veered more hipster than Kappa Sig. Odd Future performed and the MAC-provided glow sticks brought out everyone’s inner raver. We spotted Hanne Gaby Odiele dominating the Wii games while Wang himself treated the hanging blow-up dolls like pinatas. Meanwhile, across the street, Barneys was feting their fall collaboration with Carine Roitfeld at Westway, the former strip club. The dress code was a bit fancier: we spotted loads of Christopher Kane and a few stellar vintage frocks, but the party will go down in history for one major reason: Valentino hopped on stage to do karaoke to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” Needless to say, the crowd went wild.
Amber.Stardoll- While out in Paris, actress, Evan Rachel Wood, didn't have quite the night she was expecting! Another party goer elbowed Evan in the face and knocked out her tooth! Evan's rep said that everyone was dancing and it was purely an accident, but still...OW!
Evan has already met with a dentist for a replacement tooth, thank goodness! We're glad she wasn't hurt worse, those clubs can be dangerous. ;) Keep on smilin' Evan! (usmagazine)

It’s not so shocking that John Galliano was found guilty of hurling anti-Semitic slurs by a Paris court last night. After all, the “alleged” incident was caught on camera. But with a verdict comes a sentence: the former Dior designer will have to pay an almost $24,000 fine, about $10,000 less than the maximum fine allowed by law, and serve none of the possible 6 months in jail. Galliano, who wasn’t present in court when the verdict was read, claimed to not remember anything about the incident. During the trial he admitted to suffering from alcohol addiction, as well as pain killers, but said he couldn’t recall the run in at La Perle. Meanwhile, the world still waits for news of Dior’s new director!

With her sophisticated demeanor, a subtle space in her front teeth and a diligent work ethic, 19 year-old Cris Urena kicked off her first New York fashion week with Peter Som’s Hawaiian themed show at Milk yesterday morning followed by Band of Outsiders and Ruffian. Fortunately, the Dominican-born, Massachusetts raised beauty has a smart personality to match her sweet looks. The former nursing student sat down to chat Christopher Kane, suspenders, and sneezing on the runway.

TV ruled over today’s Fashion Week festivities. From the crane camera swooping above the seats at the Project Runway fashion show, to the bevy of reality TV stars making appearances (Kelly Bensimon, Ramona Singer, and not one but two Mob Wives), to onetime reality TV stars presenting their latest collection (Ally Hilfiger, of NAHM), the boob tube was ever-present. Malin Akerman gushed about the power of television while waiting for the Project Runway show to begin: “American Idol is one of my big ones. The one that Sharon Osbourne is on, America’s Got Talent, that’s a great one, too. I like those kinds, with performers, people who actually get to show their talent and make something out of their talent. I think it’s great.” Jennifer Love Hewitt, herself no stranger to the small screen, is already looking forward to the TV catch-up time she’ll have post-Fashion Week. At Project Runway she explained, “I have [this season] on my TiVo because I’ve been traveling—I get to do a marathon when I get home, which I’m excited about.”

- We love plaid this fall! There is nothing cozier than a cute plaid skirt paired with a comfy sweater. It's the perfect print to add a bit of prep to any outfit, but plaid also has a slight edge, especially when you add a hot leather jacket!
Two of our fave stars, Emma Watson and Taylor Momsen, have been spotted in plaid and they both looked killer! Emma recently wore the cutest tartan McQ dress to the GQ Man of the Year awards! We love how she paired her dress with a leather jacket and sexy heels! She kept her make up neutral and her hair slicked over to one side. We kind of wish she had done a dramatic eye, nothing too crazy, but something to add a bit of edge to her punk-chic ensemble. Taylor wore an adorable plaid jumper on the set of Gossip Girl! We love the hot pink tulle and black motorcycle boots, it's the perfect mix of romantic-grunge! Taylor's coat is amazing and we love her plaid tie! We miss Little J!
Both stars rocked plaid but the question is: who wore it best?
