Behind The Seams: Model.Live Launch Party

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 04:00:08 -0700

Remember Madeline, Austria, and Cato from Vogue's new modeling reality show, Model.Live? The online show is now four episodes in, but last night at the Bowery Hotel in NYC, Vogue.TV and IMG hosted a celebration for the launch. Of course, the models and now-reality-starlets showed up looking gorgeous in different variations of LBDs. Cato (right) is my favorite; who's yours?

Actress Becki Newton was also there, as were famous models Jacquetta Wheeler, Kristy Hume, Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann, and socialite Olivia Palermo. As you can imagine, there was lots of posing, smiling, and socializing. Sounds like my kind of party.

FABTV: A Preview of Model.Live

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:40:29 -0700

A new day-in-the-life-of-a-model show is on the horizon: Model.Live is debuting tomorrow night on Vogue.tv. We briefly mentioned it before, and here is another preview.

This show is different from the rest in that it's online and interactive - fans will be able to keep up with the daily happenings and communicate with the show's stars Cato, Madeline, and Austria via bebo.com. And this is cool: you'll be able to shop the models' clothes as they go from go-see, to agency, to the runway, and all the sidewalks in between. Ultimately, you can witness what it takes for a green model to be successful. All three gals have vastly different looks; my interest goes to Dominican Republic-born Austria, the youngest (and prettiest!). Check out the preview - mostly agents sitting around a table strategizing about the three hopefuls - and as of Aug. 22, new episodes will be broadcast every Friday for 12 weeks.

Designer Spotlight: Erin Snow

I hear a cold front is very soon going to hit the east coast so it may finally put people in the snow bunny mood. Make sure you're a cute snow bunny - is there any other kind? - with Erin Snow: the creation of New York City based designer, Erin Isakov, a winter sport enthusiast with a love for both skiing and fashion. Frustrated with the clumsily masculine and excessively feminine ski and snowboard gear on the market, Erin took it upon herself to come up with a solution. She launched Erin Snow, a chic line that combines high fashion with winter functionality, in Fall 2004.

The Erin Snow collection offers both high performance gear and stylish sportswear in flattering styles and silhouettes that can go directly from the slopes to the streets. The collection is designed with the highest quality fabrics selected from Switzerland, Italy and Austria, the look is all-American luxury. The result is a versatile collection that shows you do not have to sacrifice quality or style to dress for the winter months.

If you have a weakness for super-rich snow gear here are some of her key pieces which can be bought online. But be warned: this Aspen-worthy garb is not cheap; prices start at $288. Otherwise her luxe ski wear can be found at Bloomingdales, Searle, and athletic retailers nationwide.
