Loomstate Drums Up Anticipation For Earth Day

Midtown Manhattan isn't the first place one expects to encounter a drum circle, but last night 40 musicians gathered in Good Units at Hudson to make a racket in honor of Earth Day.

Midtown Manhattan isn't the first place one expects to encounter a drum circle, but last night 40 musicians gathered in Good Units at Hudson to make a racket in honor of Earth Day. The occasion was a Loomstate-sponsored bash that got a head start on commemorating the green holiday, which actually isn't until next week on the 22nd, but that hardly seemed to bother anyone. As an added bonus, Loomstate sponsored a party bus to take downtown kids afraid of crossing 14th St. unaccompanied all the way to the Hudson's 58th St. location.

There were more than a few eco-friendly fashion fans who ventured out to join the label's designers, Rogan Gregory and Scott Hahn, in enjoying the surprisingly awesome drumming and accompanying video installation. Rogan and Scott were in good company with other creatives like Pamela Love and the gang from threeASFOUR milling about and dancing to tunes from Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear, who took over as DJ once all the drumming stopped.

Adrian and Camila Party For Genius

Adrian Grenier led the eco-friendly pack last night at the launch party for Loomstate's new Target collection in LA.

Adrian Grenier led the eco-friendly pack last night at the launch party for Loomstate's new Target collection in LA. The line, which is made from 100% organic cotton, brought out lots of environmentally-minded celebs, from Elizabeth Banks and Kristen Bell to Anna Faris and True Blood couple Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. Camila Alves left Matthew and Levi at home as she checked out the offerings, and we're sure to see lots more of her solo now that she's set to host the third season of Shear Genius. The handbag designer is ready to take on new projects, and we'd still like if her next undertaking involves a wedding.

This Just In! Loomstate for Target

Funny, just yesterday, when I was preparing to speak on a panel about sustainable fashion, I was talking about how Target should do an eco line.

Funny, just yesterday, when I was preparing to speak on a panel about sustainable fashion, I was talking about how Target should do an eco line. The fashion gods were listening because I woke up to the news that designer Gregory Rogan is once again teaming up with Target and this time with his Loomstate line.

Launching just before Earth Day, April 19 to be exact, Loomstate for Target line will offer environmentally friendly goods for women and men. That means environmentally sensitive materials like 100 percent certified organic cotton and sustainable fibers like linen and silk. Said items will be priced between $15 and $45.

I snapped up a couple items from Rogan's GO International line for Target, which was also eco-friendly, so I'm expecting the same sensibility: nature-inspired tees, everyday hoodies and relaxed separates. Nice.

Wang Wins 2008 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund

>> For its fifth anniversary, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund went with the obvious choice, naming Alexander Wang the recipient of $200,000 plus a year of mentoring last night.  Vogue favorite Vena Cava and a less expected choice, milliner Albertus Swanepoel of Albertus Quartus, were both named runners-up and will receive $50,000 plus a business mentor.  The night's keynote speaker, John Galliano, and his date Charlize Theron were seated next to Anna Wintour and presented the top honors to a teary-eyed Alexander Wang, who said his thank yous onstage as John Galliano rubbed his arm in comfort.

Top hats seemed to be the order of the evening — Julie Gilhart and John Galliano each sported one, the latter with a daisy chain, and Agyness Deyn had on a squished version — while carrot pants and one-shouldered dresses also received numerous nods.  Plenty of models are already back in town from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: Anne Vyalitsyna came with Costello Tagliapietra, Maryna Linchuk with Rag & Bone, Doutzen Kroes with Irene Neuwirth, and Arlenis Sosa Pena with Rogan.

It's no secret I'm in love with the diffusion lines at Target.

It's no secret I'm in love with the diffusion lines at Target. And it's definitely no secret that I love a sale. So when those inexpensive designer goods get even cheaper, I pounce like a jackal in the wild. To make room for the Richard Chai collection, Target is having a giant clearance sale on its Rogan line. Nothing is more than $11.24, this shift dress is $9.99 (down from $39.99), and surprisingly, the sizes aren't too picked over. Get it while the getting's good.

Designer Rogan Gregory debuted his new line for Target at Barneys in LA last night and had plenty of beautiful ladies on hand to help him celebrate. Rachel Bilson showed of her cute as usual style — get her look here — as she cozied up to the designer. Her fellow stars of the small screen went for more color, from Whitney's sweet pink top to Becki Newton's sassy blue mini dress. While we're excited to head to Target (or Target.com) on Sunday to pick up some new cute looks for Summer, if you're in LA or NYC, you can get the new designs at Barneys this weekend.
