Inspired Style: Denim Shirt + Shiny Bling

Denim shirts are a style staple, but to give them a fresh kick in the butt, let's throw on some shiny bling like models Irina Lazareanu, Tiiu Kuik, and Arlenis Sosa did on the January cover of Flare.

Denim shirts are a style staple, but to give them a fresh kick in the butt, let's throw on some shiny bling like models Irina Lazareanu, Tiiu Kuik, and Arlenis Sosa did on the January cover of Flare. As you can see, it's a super simple look to achieve because you probably already have all the key pieces. Now just put them all together — denim shirt, chain or rhinestone necklace, statement cuff, cocktail ring — and be on your fabulous way.

The CFDA Attending Models and Their Designer Pals

The CFDA Awards is one of my favorite fashion events.
Pictures of Models at the 2010 CFDA Awards

The CFDA Awards is one of my favorite fashion events. Not only do classic and new designers receive awards, but it also brings fashion folk together and honors fashion as a whole. We showed you some fashion-focused arrivals last night before the event, but there were so many other stylish attendees. Actresses, editors, and models showed their support . . . and fun Polaroids captured some epic shots. Flip through to admire your favorite models and their designer pals from last night.

The 2010 CFDA Awards Are Here! Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu Take Home Wins

>> This evening at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, fashion's finest gathered for the 2010 CFDA Awards.

>> This evening at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, fashion's finest gathered for the 2010 CFDA Awards. Jak & Jil's Tommy Ton snapped photos of the arrivals, J.Crew's Jenna Lyons introduced herself to Isabel Toledo, and the ever-punctual Anna Wintour was later than usual, appearing after the pre-awards cocktails were in full swing.

Wintour put on her signature shades for the ceremony itself, but off they came when International Award winner Christopher Bailey thanked her (along with Tom Ford and Donna Karan) — in fact, she was beaming. Later, she got on stage to present Michael Kors with his Lifetime Achievement Award — he received a standing ovation — and told a story about how she went on a trip to Jamaica with Kors; when Ralph Lauren arrived, Kors got in the ocean and stayed there for hours because he didn't want Lauren to see him in his swimsuit.

Speaking of Lauren, he received the Popular Vote for the second year running — although he wasn't in attendance this evening. Sarah Jessica Parker, dressed in a custom gown by new Alexander McQueen creative director Sarah Burton, presented Lee Alexander McQueen posthumously with the Special Tribute Award, noting that the designer had "the most beautiful hands I've ever seen," before models took the stage in the designer's last works.

Accepting her Fashion Icon Award, Iman thanked her parents for the longest neck on any model at any go-see in the world and joked to husband David Bowie: "Move over. You're not the only icon in the house." And finally, Marc Jacobs scored the Womenwear Award — he thanked bloggers for his win and said to Robert Duffy: "i want to thank [Duffy], without you this dream would never have come true."

And the winners are . . . (nominees here):

  • Accessory Designer of the Year: Alexis Bittar
  • Popular Vote Award: Ralph Lauren
  • Menswear Designer of the Year: Marcus Wainwright and David Neville for Rag & Bone
  • Swarovski Award for Menswear: Richard Chai
  • Swarovski Award for Womenswear: Jason Wu
  • Swarovski Award for Accessories: Alexander Wang
  • Womenswear Designer of the Year: Marc Jacobs

Last night's Mulberry-sponsored party celebrating the launch of Venetia Dearden's book Glastonbury, Another Stage at Milk Studios's penthouse was chock-full of statuesque revelers, though two models in particular seemed to steer clear of each other. Agyness Deyn stayed ensconced with a group of friends, while on the other side of the bash her ex-fiance Albert Hammond, Jr. held hands — possibly in a friendly way? — with Irina Lazareanu. Elsewhere, Alek Wek and Jacquelyn Jablonski mingled near Chanel Iman and her boyfriend Ryan Leslie. Leigh Lezark and Michelle Trachtenberg arrived together and stayed attached at the hip throughout the night. In the spirit of Venetia's publication, the event was complete with an indoor teepee and there was music aplenty. Brooklyn's Chairlift was the main attraction, with London socialite Jackson Scott's flamenco guitar act Mano de Dios as the opener.

Tom Ford launches a beauty business with his Private Blend Lip Color collection. “This is my take on 12 classic lip colors,” Ford told WWD. “I took the most universally flattering colors that a woman can wear, and then I reimagined them in a modern and authoritative way."

Tom Ford is also quietly ramping up his womenswear team with new hires from Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, and shoe designer Michael Lewis.
