Best of 2008: Fabulous Fashion Week Shows

2008 spawned a tremendous flurry of fabulous Fashion Week shows. Let's see, there were New York Fall and Spring shows, Milan Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, and LA Fashion Week.

Fab Face: Amanda Laine

I've been waiting for months to hear who the winner of V Magazine's V A Model! search is, and that day has come — it's Amanda Laine. That name may not mean much to you now, but it will in the near future. The 16-year-old Canadian has wasted no time delving right into the industry. She's signed a three-year contract with Supreme Management and already walked the European Fall shows: Prada and Read more

Celebrity Style: Mischa Barton

It makes me so happy to see Mischa Barton dressing Fab again. At Paris Fashion Week, the actress partied at Lou Doillon's party for Lee Cooper in a feminine purple, off-shoulder dress. Her pink satin Stella McCartney pumps add to the girlie vibe and provide some overall fanciness. Shop Megan Shirred Dress in Purple Read more

Le Smoking at Hermès Fall 2008: Love It or Hate It?

Naughty Natasha Poly. Or shall I say naughty Jean Paul Gaultier for having his model smoke on the Hermès runway! I'm not so intrigued by the clothes, but I am drawn in by what's happening all around. I certainly don't condone smoking, but it works with the mature collection. And the Persian rug-covered catwalk takes me to an exotic place, far, far away. Though I wouldn't realistically wear Read more

Mischa and Milla Do Fashion Week 80s Style

Mischa Barton and Milla Jovovich mugged for the camera at the Lou Doillon Party for Lee Cooper in Paris yesterday before hitting up the Miu Miu show today as part of Paris Fashion Week. Don't both girls look 80s-tastic with their off-the-shoulder and brightly colored outfits? And doesn't Mischa just look thrilled to be there? Smile! Milla may be partying it up fashion-style overseas but back in Read more

Paris Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Chloe

After two seasons of bringing his own point of view to the house of Chloe, Paolo Melim Andersson delved back into the archives. Back to the floral-printed chiffon dresses when Karl Lagerfeld designed for the house in the '70s, and back to the floaty embroidery of Phoebe Philo earlier this decade. Amidst a sea of navy, tufts of fur, sheer tunics, blazers, and riveted halter dresses were Read more

Who Wore It Better? Black Ruched Fendi Dress

Paris Fashion Week has come to an end (tear). Jessica Alba attended Fendi's fashion show in the same black ruched dress that Eva Mendes wore back in January. Eva went bare legged while Jessica wore tights. Whose version is better? Source Who Wore It Better? Black Ruched Fendi Dress Eva . . . she looks very feminine and pretty.

Freaky or Fabulous? Mariacarla Boscono Gone Goth

Freaky or Fabulous? Mariacarla Boscono Gone Goth

Freaky or fabulous, that is the question my Fabbies . . . The raven-haired model, Mariacarla Boscono, attended a Givenchy dinner at Paris Fashion Week in a polarizing, gothic-inspired outfit by the designer. Her overly layered necklaces make Nicole Kidman's L'Wren Scott diamond Oscars necklace look understated. It's layering on crack, but I think it's beyond fabulous. What about you — freaky Read more

MK, Rihanna and Jessica Enjoy Kanye's FIRST Passion in Paris

Paris Fashion Week went out with a bang with this weekend's star studded front rows galore. Jessica Alba covered up her baby bump standing next to a much taller Rihanna to check out Fendi. You guys seemed pretty evenly split as to whether Amy Winehouse deserved the $1 million paycheck to perform for the runway show, but at least she showed up. Mary-Kate Olsen was out without her twinsie but still Read more

Paris Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Giambattista Valli

Paris Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Giambattista Valli

The river runneth red at Giambattista Valli. Blood red. Billowing red evening gowns, protruding red crepe necklines, toweringly high red heels, and even a red fox fur cocoon coat were all flowing. When it wasn't red, it was white, or black, or ivory — with lots of protuberances. Tufts of fox fur hang from the back of an otherwise simple ivory sheath. Architectural ruffles, poufs, and Read more
