Miuccia Prada Flies Victoria's Secret Models in for Demure Fall 2010 Prada Show February 25, 2010 12:55 pm >> A casting surprise was promised, and Miuccia Prada delivered: Victoria's Secret regulars like Doutzen Kroes, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Bianca Balti all walked the labyrinthine runway — perhaps as a one-up to Givenchy, who cast Adriana Lima, and Balenciaga, who cast Kerr, in recent seasons.
Lyn Devon Takes Her Fall 2010 Girl to the "Beatnik Ballet" February 10, 2010 10:17 pm >> Lyn Devon's goal is to become "the fresh voice in American luxury sportswear." In her SoHo basement studio today, she showed off her latest effort in "reinventing the classics": but instead of sticking to her usual straight, sharp tailoring, she was inspired by images of ballet and dance to give her silhouette a little more movement. Hence, her Fall 2010 "beatnik ballet" collection: Devon suggests countering the newfound looseness of her dresses with a black turtleneck and a belted waist. But when it comes down to it, she's all about catering to her customer — she says her hand knits, leathers, and prints do really well, and this season, she ventured into more eveningwear options, just because her clients asked.
"World-Class Designers Are Not Made Overnight" February 13, 2010 8:49 pm >> Pre-show, security tried to keep Johnny-come-latelies like Dasha Zhukova, Derek Blasberg, and a few Vogue editors out of Jason Wu, and post-show, after his model of choice Karlie Kloss closed, Wu sprinted the pink runway from end to end ("It's very long and everybody's really busy, so I thought I'd sprint," he told The Cut), but in-between was where all the action really happened.
