Diane von Furstenberg Show SS10 – Front Row!

We got a special look at the Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2010 front row, which was packed not just with the usual fashion crowd but with DVF pals and luminaries like Graydon Carter, propietor of the crazy-hot Monkey Bar and the Waverly Inn. When Carter and his friend Fran Lebowitz were asked if they could be photographed together, Lebowitz quipped, “Oh good. I’ll look young.”

They both have great taste in blazers.

Tons of celebs and fashion faves – Michelle Tractenberg, Peaches Geldof, Carine Roitfeld and more after the jump. (more…)

Bruno: The Fashion World Reacts

bruno-gqGiving credence to the idea that fashion is part masochism, several in the fashion industry are disappointed that they weren’t parodied by Bruno, according to an amusing article in today’s WWD, “The In Kraut.” The much-anticipated fashion farce premieres tonight at midnight.

Trish Halpin, editor in chief of Marie Claire: “Getting name checked in Bruno is the ultimate fashion accessory. People want to be in the movie. It’s more insulting not to appear in it than to be insulted in it.”

Diane von Furstenburg: “He didn’t come to my fashion show. But I wish he had.” (more…)

The Color Purple: Lilac for Resort 2010

If you think you’ve tired of the It color of fall 2008, purple, think again, because it’s back all over again in a different hue. Miuccia Prada’s inspiration for resort 2010 was Art Deco Miami Beach, and while designers are claiming inspiration from all over the globe for resort 2010, Miami Beach pastels are popping up in many major collections, like Dior Cruise 2010, left.

In particular, lilac has infiltrated its way into several resort lines. It’s a welcome respite from fall’s jewel-tone purple, and if you’re doing the ’80s thing right now, this was also a big color in the era of Valley Girl.

The Last Days of 10021

It may be the last days of a unified 10021, but the posh spirit of the Upper East Side should continue to run unchecked up Madison Avenue. During the nice weather, the well-heeled finally step out of their Town Cars and take a stroll.

Below, traveling up Madison Avenue, with stops at Roger Vivier and Tom Ford on the way.

The bad news: the new Roger Vivier store is just as tempting as it’s cracked up to be. The good news: the prices are the same as or less than Bergdorf’s shoe department. Somewhere, Manolo Blahnik should be worried. Very worried.
by far the coolest silver sandals of the season
These shoes just made me want to kill myself.

Tom Ford has only gotten better with age. Everything in his drop-dead sexy new boutique telegraphs the message, “You want to sleep with me.” He can even make the clichéd Japanese men’s silk dressing gown look desirable. Will Ferrell, eat your heart out.


Above, the fragrance Japan Noir. It’s no coincidence that the aesthetic here feels both modern yet familiar: Eastern influences plus traditional men’s clothing draws on the fad of Orientalism at the turn of the last century.

Fashion Week February 07: DVF

Wrap yourself in black patent leather and grab a silver handbag: Fashion Week is back! Diane von Furstenberg fans arrived wearing blindingly bright white (like Glenda Bailey with monogrammed Goyard bag), big fur hats (Andre Leon Talley), and high-waisted coats with poufy skirts (Carine Roitfeld).

Fashion Week SS07: Diane Von Furstenberg

Few designers can claim their clothes are instantly recognizable. Diane Von Furstenberg never needed to emblazon her designs with logos, however, to establish her distinctive style. A crush of people, many of them women in DVF dresses, wrap and otherwise, wait for standing room at the Bryant Park show or breeze past, invitations in hand.
