2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Richard Chai Love
I was there — I promised I would be.
I was there — I promised I would be. Poppy Delevigne, Lauren Santo Domingo, Karolina Kurkova, Phillip Lim, and key fashion players, were there. How exciting was the news about Richard Chai's lower-priced contemporary line for guys and gals? Today, I witnessed the women's collection and was completely impressed. Then, I remembered the price point of $50 to $425, and got straight up giddy.
Inspired by boys, the collection still preserved Chai's cool femininity. What I loved most: the jackets. Hooded parkas, cropped parkas, boyfriend blazers, tailed waistcoats, boyfriend shirts worn as jackets, army jackets, and long cardigans put my jacket collection to shame. Crisp fabrics like cotton, twill, cotton/poly, wrinkled rayon, and leather were completely Spring-ified. A fresh indigo crystal petal print broke up the neutrals, and embroidered pieces provided the perfect glam finale.
Funny, I had the perfect seat right at the front of the runway so I could witness Chai adjusting models right before they walked, sipping Diet Coke amidst the excitement. Richard Chai — I love you, man.

Fashion Week Quickie: McQueen's Wow Window
The great thing about Milk Studios and this Fashion Week is exiting a show and being in the Meatpacking District.
The great thing about Milk Studios and this Fashion Week is exiting a show and being in the Meatpacking District. Boutiques and good eats are right there. After the Preen show, I did a little window shopping and Alexander McQueen's window got the wow award. And I'm not the only one who thought so — see this funky chick taking a window peruse too? Right next door was Matthew Williamson so you know I made a stop there, but McQueen's model's big juicy lips, haute houndstooth, and stark skin were click-worthy.
Hey, remember my FabSugar Community group Window Shopping? This work of art belongs there — be sure to share any of your sidewalk style endeavors by joining my group!

The current bidding price is $9.99 and the auction ends on Wednesday, Sept. 16. Good luck and happy bidding!
