2009 Costume Institute Gala Arrivals Have Started!

fashionologie — Mon, 04 May 2009 16:10:20 PDT

>> It's official Costume Institute Gala time: Anna Wintour is already snubbing press in her black and white Chanel, Bee Shaffer has already had help navigating in her sheer navy chiffon Nina Ricci gown, and Andre Leon Talley who is wearing "20 pounds" of Roger Vivier jewelry, has already exclaimed "Goddess" upon sight of Kate Moss.

Gisele Bundchen has arrived in sequined Atelier Versace minidress - she says she picked it out herself and they had to make it two inches shorter for her. Meanwhile, Eva Mendes grabbed Amber Valletta's booty on the red carpet, and Shalom Harlow, Amber, Natalia Vodianova, Eva Herzigova, and Stella Tennant have made a red carpet block while they stop to exchange air kisses.

UPDATE: More designer and model pictures have been added to the gallery!

For Fall 2009, Designers Hemming Their Gown Production

fashionologie — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 20:12:19 PST

>> Besides the obvious runway trends that have emerged - cut-outs, metallics, thigh-high boots, emphasized shoulders - we're seeing something else: designers are sending out a substantially less gowns down the runway. Now we're talking designers who dabble with gowns, not whose livelihoods depend on the red carpet - see Monique Lhuillier, Badgley Mischka, and their ilk - but Rodarte, who usually end their collections with a trio of three gowns, chose to bypass that segment for Fall 2009, sticking to minidress silhouettes all the way through.

Max Azria, who usually does at least three full-length dresses for Herve Leger, didn't have one hem below knee-length for the Fall 2009 collection. Diane von Furstenberg, who showed four floor-sweeping frocks for Spring 2009 and five for Fall 2008, had one singular gown - the last look - for Fall 2009. Erin Fetherston, known for her proclivity for long, flowy dresses, had at least seven last season; for Fall 2009, there was one. Matthew Williamson produced seven gowns for Spring 2009 and four for Fall 2008; this season, he went down to three. Narciso Rodriguez didn't do any for Fall 2009; the list goes on.

So is it because we're maxed out on maxi dresses? Because a long dress takes more fabric and therefore is more expensive to produce? Because separates will likely sell better? Because gowns just look too extravagant in these pinching times? Whatever it is, we could be seeing a lot more cocktail-length dresses on the red carpet if this keeps up; that or, the gowns will all have to be custom.

Fashion In 50 Seconds 01/08/09 New York Look Put On Hold & More

coutorture — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 06:36:05 PST

New York Look, the biannual magazine put out by New York magazine which covers the two major fashion seasons, has been put on hold--at least for this season. New York magazine told WWD they will consider publishing the magazine again next Fall, but nothing is certain.

Zappos is selling a $50,000 t-shirt that will give the customer free reign to block one person from shopping on the website--for life. We're waiting for the t-shirt to show up on Canal Street.

Topshop's Spring look book has started to circulate and fans are revisiting the Spring preview in anticipation for a New York store opening. The Soho store was meant to open in October of 2008 but the date has been pushed back to March of this year--at least for now.

Badgley Mischka has announced that they will lower the prices of their Fall 09 collection. We're wondering if this means lower quality fabrics, or less complicated garments from the brand. Check out the Spring 09 collection right here.
