Let's get the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards party started with the network's reality darling Lauren Conrad, who chose to walk the red carpet in a white frock tonight. Her look is sexy up top and sassy on the bottom. A good combination. Glittery peep-toe pumps and sparkly jewels up her shine factor. Do you love it or hate it?
Julia, check. Erin, check. Anna, check. Do you need last names? Wang is quickly climbing up the fashion food chain so his Spring show was sure to be a frenzied event — that it was. And how fitting that the runway and models were liquified, since Hurricane Hanna did its own wet work on the audience. Thanks to some buddies over at Page Six Magazine and their town car, I was moderately soaked. But Wang was wet n' wild.
With Miami Vice as inspiration, there were cool deco hues amidst the designer's favorite black. The collection kicked off with oversized tanks, leather (and suede) and du-rags, but soon colors emerged creating a lovingly tough aesthetic. Wang continues to deconstruct tee shirts, dresses and tee shirt dresses, thus draped and looped cotton basics were a plenty. But Wang also played with sweat pants — creating legging like layers — and jackets — from poppy blazers to loose cardigans. Some denim pieces were also Wangified; I was particularly drawn to a chain handle jean bag. And of course, Wang sent his new shoes down the slick runway, elevating the models, and the clothes, to first name status.

What a fabulous surprise that Julie Haus (who was showing at New York Fashion Week for the first time) guests included Leighton Meester and Molly Sims and was styled by Elle fashion editor extraordinaire Kate Lanphear. No wonder the collection was a hit. Leighton has been a longtime fan of Haus; her girlie, colorful creations suit the gamine perfectly. When asked how she liked the show, Leighton replied, "I loved it, why? Do you love her like me? I love it so much, it was so cute. She’s usually so feminine and quirky but it was actually very rock-n-roll. It was awesome." I have fantasies of being a celebrity stylist, and if I were to pick some Spring looks for Leighton, here's what I'd choose . . .
