Have. Want. Need.
During Fashion Week, I had the chance to take a peek at the new MAC Pro store in New York. It's an amazing space — 6,000 square feet of pure beauty heaven. Not only is it a shopping wonderland, it's also a place where professionals can use a photo studio, pore over hundreds of books and magazines for inspiration, and mix their own creations. And if that wasn't fun enough, I had the treat of Read more
OK, so maybe I was a little too skeptical of this week's Project Runway. I wasn't sold on the premise of yet another sponsored challenge (this time by the WWE Divas), but now, I'm not sure what I was so worried about. The wackiness of the challenge gave the designers freedom to break loose — not quite avant-garde loose, but close — and create some of the most inventive outfits we've seen yet. Read more
MAC has one busy year planned for 2008. Fergie's the new Viva Glam spokesperson, French graf artist Fafi is doing a collection, and in March, fashion-design duo Heatherette is releasing a hot pink line of makeup. While Heatherette is known for its outrageous outfits and glitter, they can also do simple makeup as well. Here's a preview of the packaging. Are you dying to get your hands on this, or Read more
How cool would it be to get a Christmas stocking created by either Vera Wang, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Tuleh, Rodarte, or the boys from Heatherette?

All of the proceeds from the five-day eBay auction will Read more
Model of the week Lydia Hearst has teamed up with Heatherette designers Traver Rains and Richie Rich to design a collection of handbags for sportswear brand Puma. The 10 limited-edition Puma Lydia bags, around $100, are inspired by the French 77 Racket Bag. On Tuesday, Lydia (left) proudly modeled two of her bags at a press brunch in NYC. They're patent, sporty, but would you be caught with one Read more
Things have always been a little kookier at LA Fashion Week, but the makeup at the Heatherette show this season had more of a Halloween edge than a pretty or polished fashion feel. What do you think of this face paint look on model Lydia Hearst? Source Love It or Hate It? Face Paint At Heatherette Love It - Anything goes on the runway! Hate It - I thought models were Read more
Crazy club-kid duo Heatherette isn't known for being subtle, and its models' hairstyles were as over-the-top as you'd expect. I thought it was a lot of fun, and very young—it reminded me of the way my friends and I would play "hairdresser" as girls. If you like the winged metallic eyeliner shown here on Chanel Iman (yes, that's her real name), you'll be excited to know that Heatherette will Read more
Paris Hilton has been a friend to the slapped together by children heinous avant-garde design team Heatherette for years, but that certainly doesn't mean that she'll pull through in the clutch for her buddies. The heiress was scheduled to appear at the Heatherette runway show yesterday evening (which sounds like it went just swimmingly), but declined to show up, citing a stomach flu. You know, Read more
Two of girls' best friends—in this case, chocolate and fashion—collided at the 9th Annual Chocolate Show, held last Thursday in New York City. Some of the designs were absolutely gorgeous, like the Willy Wonka-inspired masterpiece and vampiric design above. Others, meanwhile, were totally gross—notably, the model with strips of chocolate running down her legs. For the fashion portion of Read more
With Paris and Nicky Hilton on its runway and two wacky designers behind its fashions, it's no surprise that the Tuesday night show from Heatherette was one of the most buzzed-about events at New York Fashion Week. The models, which also included Mena Suvari and Kelis, strutted out a smorgasbord of styles ranging from lavender and gold lame to leopard and Hawaiian prints to country-club fashions Read more
