>> Fenton/Fallon's Dana Lorenz Doesn't Go to Parties to Advertise Herself —Monday night at the CFDA Awards, Fenton/Fallon's Dana Lorenz said of her ensemble: "I wouldn't call it a gown because it's too grungy to be a gown. I don't think it's necessary to be all Nicole Kidman about this." While other designers were campaigning for a win, Lorenz took a laidback attitude to being nominated: "It's like in golf — sorry, my dad's a golfer! —you're supposed to just keep your head down. I don't have a FameGame profile. I don't go to parties to advertise that way. I'm the type of person who would always rather be at home watching Daria, but I'm really enjoying this." [NY Observer]

Dana Lorenz Launches Fenton/Fallon for J.Crew Collection
>> J.Crew stocks a heritage brand here and there, but it's not often that an up-and-coming designer is asked to collaborate with the brand.
>> J.Crew stocks a heritage brand here and there, but it's not often that an up-and-coming designer is asked to collaborate with the brand. Not so for Fenton/Fallon's Dana Lorenz, of whom J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons is a major fan: “We met at a dinner party at Maria Cornejo’s house. We were sitting next to each other and talking, and she mentioned that she was a jewelry designer . . . I asked her what jewelry she designed and she said Fenton/Fallon. I was like, Jesus Christ — I had a stack of papers on my desk of pictures of her necklaces and I had been trying to find them. None of them had names on her website, so I just printed them all out and would call Bergdorf and say, ‘Do you have this?’ They were like, ‘I don’t know, lady, you have to come up.’"
Thus, the Fenton/Fallon for J.Crew collection, "a mash-up" of her Fenton and Fallon brands, according to Lorenz, which runs $95 to $295, was born — and is now in stores.
