Fashion’s Night Out, September 2010
As amazing as the fashion is at the official Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, you can’t help be struck by the lack of diversity at Lincoln Center. Intentionally or not, Anna Wintour’s Fashion’s Night Out this past Friday opened up the playing field to African Americans, who dressed for the occasion in everything from designer labels to club clothes. (See Eric Wilson’s article on the changing demographics of the New York fashion world – still about a generation behind the diversification of American colleges.) On Prince street, throw in an Intermix party hosted by socialite Byrdie Bell and attended by several more socialites and you got a sense of the actual demographics of New York fashion – a true melting pot of style.

Alexander Wang Horsehair Boots
As anyone with S.A.D. could tell you, the days are already getting perceptibly shorter. The only thing that can get us excited about the approaching end of summer is the arrival of new fall clothes and accessories in stores – like these kick-ass Alexander Wang horsehair boots. Daring but not totally over-the-top, they tap into fall’s fur trend with kinder, gentler horsehair and a towering platform heel that’s sure to be a fave among fashion editors. They sure aren’t cheap, but they scrape just under the $1K mark at $995. Get ’em while they last….

CFDA Awards Red Carpet and Full Fashion Analysis!
One great thing about a black tie event for the fashion industry? You’ll never be bored. Guests at the Swarovski-sponsored CFDA Awards last night wore daring, dazzling looks with no worries of playing it safe for the mass media, since this 7th Avenue version of the Oscars is a little more sheltered than the Hollywood event. That’s not to say the women and men here weren’t elegantly dressed: fabulous gowns and tuxes abounded, but look closely and you’ll see towering shoes, short hemlines and plunging necklines that really pushed the envelope in terms of what works for the red carpet.
Sarah Jessica Parker created the biggest stir of the night in a gorgeous, art nouveau-style Alexander McQueen gown. She presented a Board of Directors Special Tribute Award to the late designer at the ceremony.
The best red carpet looks: Alexa Chung, Emile de Ravin, Jessica Biel, Dree Hemingway, Irina Lazareanu, Sasha Pivovarova and many more – all photos by Gastro Chic! (more…)

Chloe
One of the last shows of the season, Chloe took place in the Tuileries when it was just beginning to feel like spring. This year, “spring color” means something a little toned down than usual. White and ivory, neutral khaki and olive green, camel, animal-print silks, and the occasional bright pop of color make up the palette for the new season.
