Pantless Trend Propagates Runways
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Okay, seriously, Lady Gaga, what have you done?
Spring/Summer ‘10 collections saw the propagation of the anti-pants revolution, which you can clearly see in the image above (from left: Alexander Wang, Prada, Prada, and Duckie Brown).
I realize that it gets quite hot during Spring and Summer seasons; however, wearing what The Cut is now dubbing “diaper panties” is just plain wrong. I realize that we’re in a recession and that designers like these are most likely relying on less fabric, but come on!

Victoria Beckham Talks Eating Disorder Rumors
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, News, Rumors,
Usually one to keep her cool and ignore the petulant rumors regarding her weight, Victoria Beckham is finally speaking out after a whirlwind of photographs of her at London Fashion Week surfaced, fueling the topic yet again.
“I am fine—happy and healthy. It’s irresponsible when people obsess about my shape and size. I appreciate there are young girls and women who look at me as a role model and it is untrue to say I do not eat and I am unhealthy.”
Still not convinced? The well-received fashion designer points out several things in her life that she wouldn’t have the ability to pursue had she truly not been in good health: “I have a healthy diet, a healthy lifestyle and plenty of energy to run after my three energetic boys and travel the world managing my fashion business.”
Girl power!

Christopher Kane and His Pizza Disaster
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Christopher Kane almost burned his house down after his fashion show on Monday!
The Scottish designer, who has made costumes for Kylie Minogue, was extremely tired and hungry after showcasing his latest designs at London Fashion Week, but his boyfriend’s attempts at feeding them nearly ended in disaster.
“I was knackered when we got back to the flat so I went to bed. My boyfriend put a pizza in the oven, because we were all starving, but then he fell asleep too. I woke up and thought, ‘Why can I smell burning pastry?’ It was the pizza and there was smoke everywhere. It’s OK now but I still haven’t eaten. I’m starving.”
Christopher is also looking forward to having a relaxing holiday in the next few weeks: “Well, we’ll show the collection this week to a few key people and then we’re off to Paris for sales. There’s a lot to do just now but in a few weeks we’ll go on holiday. I don’t know where yet—I don’t care really, as long as it’s hot!”

New York Fashion Week Recap
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Videos, Men, Women,
From Derek Lam and Alexander Wang to Max Azria and Jason Wu (and many more!), a quick recap of New York Fashion Week is covered in this 5-minute clip, spliced with interview clips from designers and celebrity fans.
Designer Phillip Lim had quite a tongue-twisting way of describing his collection: “It is about the mystery woman. Us as voyeurs, us being curious as who this woman is and how she goes on about her life, from day to night, weekend to weekday. And it starts with the idea of deconstructing construction to reconstructed.”
And you should hear what Michael Kors had to say about a certain pet peeve…

Amidst all the New York Fashion Week craze, I nearly had forgotten about our beloved Kate Lanphear, style director of US Elle.
No worries though—Kate is a regular on the London Fashion Week circuit and took some time out before the headline-making Burberry show to talk about how the city has (or hasn’t?) changed over the past years.
“Everything changes but everything stays the same. When you are on the bandwagon going from city to city, every city really does have its own flavor and its own feeling and its own voice, and I don’t think the voice here in London changed so dramatically. You really get the feeling it one-upped itself, it upped the ante and everything had to become a little bit more polished and produced, for better or for worse.”
A style icon herself, Kate points out that she’s seen some of the best conceptions come from the UK capital: “Coming here in the past, I have always said, some of the best ideas I have seen any place, every season—maybe sometimes the execution wasn’t quite there, but the ideas certainly were—were in London.”

Versace Leaves Designing to Kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Sales, Boys, Girls, Women, Accessories,
In very strange but charitable fashion news, Versace’s latest handbag collection has been designed by children.
Iconic fashion designer Donatella Versace has teamed up with a group of youngsters to create a charitable new accessories range and allow her to help those less privileged.
“When you are successful in your life, you want to give back,” Donatella said.
