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. Oh, and don't forget all of the ravishing Resort and Pre-Fall collections. Some of my faves were Proenza Schouler's Fall line, Alexander Wang's Spring offerings, and Balmain's Spring collection in Read more

Milan Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Fendi

If they told Cashmere Mafia's Mia Mason she must live in Fendi's Fall '08 collection all next autumn season, she'd be over the moon, sun, and stars. That's because this collection was filled with luxurious and fluffy fur coats and wide-belts. But Kaiser Karl didn't forget about the less flashy customer. For them, he provided lots of dim hues and interesting textures: knits, feathers, wool. Read more

Beauty Trends on the Fall 2008 Milan Runways: Milan Fashion Week Beauty

You've already seen what the New York and London shows had to offer, so I thought I'd give you the lowdown on the latest hair trends from Milan Fashion Week. Gucci, Ferragamo, and Blumarine all sported long, loose, and free-flowing hair, but the Etro, Iceberg, Lorenzo Riva, and Thes & Thes by Thes Tzivel runways donned a different and sleek trend. Hair was pulled back and styled with severe Read more

Dempsey Is Milan's Versace Man

Patrick Dempsey was one lucky man sandwiched between his hot wife and Megan Fox checking out the Versace show at Milan Fashion Week last night. Earlier in the day the woman on his arm was, um, not either of those ladies and instead was Donatella herself. Patrick is the face of the brand these day and a mighty fine one if I do say so myself. Though his dapper black suit is a far better look than Read more

Milan Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Jil Sander

Get a load of Raf Simmons' funnel necks for Jil Sander. I absolutely love the crispness and the incognito effect they have. It makes me want to flip up the collars of all my coats and jackets for the rest of my life. Aside from the Fab collar work, Jil Sander remains to be one of the most cool and collected of the fashion pack. Here, the use of heavy tweeds and tucked wools is super strong. Read more

Milan Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Dolce & Gabbana

The Dolce & Gabbana uomi have ditched sex appeal and embraced a more covered-up countryside style. Choice materials are rustic: plaid, tweed, a patchwork scarf print, and corduroy. Even the ball gowns had a Little Orphan Annie appeal — they were matte and muted. But there were some luxe elements — furs, sexy jeans, fun lace-up shoes, and silk scarves worn around necks. I'm not loving Read more

Prada Fall 2008: Love It or Hate It?

I think my Prada flame has been rekindled. Miucca's use of lace has everyone gabbing and it's a sine qua non for this particular collection. It's sexy, sophisticated and unique. And this is Prada, after all, so there are quirky undertones. For those looking for an nontraditional interpretation of the peekaboo fabric, get ready to fall for Prada's Fall collection.

Milan Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Burberry Prorsum

Three things to take away from Burberry Prorsum's Fall '08 collection: dramatic coats, statement necklaces and knit beanies. The talented Christopher Bailey yet again injected a kick of cool to the once-conservative brand, and also showed serious frocks and metallic pants. The overall vibe was sophisticated grunge, with moody hues like taupe, grey, and midnight blue. Sticking with the edgy Read more

Milan Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Missoni

With knitwear set to be a huge Fall trend, the house of Missoni, which has always been a leader in the knitwear field, is rejoicing. What a celebration it was on this catwalk: stripes, the signature zig zags, florals, colorblocking, and paillettes splashed around like confetti. Slouchy tops, pouf sleeves, and knee-length hems firmed up Missoni's Fall aesthetic, with swatches of teal, mustard, Read more
