Proenza Schouler Takes Dellal Downtown for Spring 2009

Proenza Schouler Takes Dellal Downtown for Spring 2009 September 8, 2008 10:38 pm >> Alice Dellal may have been a special guest at Alexander Wang, but she was there in spirit at Proenza Schouler — the sideswept wavy hair, red lip, leathers, zippers, and crop tops shown were all reminiscent of her look.

Christian Lacroix Bugs Out for Fall 2008 Couture

Christian Lacroix Bugs Out for Fall 2008 Couture July 1, 2008 2:38 pm >> Usually Christian Lacroix's designs are a little too overwrought to speak to me, but something about this set sits just right. Maybe the scarlet backdrop is to blame, setting off all the intricate detailing with its vivid hue: the peekaboo lace sleeves, the bell-shaped cocktail dresses, the gossamer tufts; or maybe I've just gone buggy for Lacroix's insect-inspired fantasy world.

Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week: Alexander Wang 2011-02-13 11:48:33

Alexander Wang Brings Back His Signature Black for Fall 2011 February 13, 2011 11:48 am >> Lots of newness for Alexander Wang this season: a new show formation, with stadium seating bleachers enclosing a diamond shaped runway space; a new Manhattan store (Wang's first retail location) opening imminently; a new location for the manufacture of his signature knitwear, which will now be produced in Italy; and a new line of leather goods (wallets, coin purses, travel cases and the like with clip-on rabbit tails) launched on his runway yesterday evening.

a young stella mccartney March 14, 2007 2:46 am >> With her mother Linda, published in Vogue Paris March 2007. I thought it was funny to see this picture of Stella running around au naturel, but also found it interesting because the influence on her Stella McCartney Care advertisements with Bette Franke is so apparent.

the outcast is not so out... April 14, 2006 10:41 pm >> I love the name of this editorial -- "Modern Magpie." The styling is wonderful, and of course Steven Meisel does it for Vogue Italia again -- his edits are always a treat. Coco Rocha is the main model, but I also spotted Bette Franke (I have a feeling you're going to see a lot more of her), Suzanne Diaz, and Ana Mihajlovic. This shoot had to grow on me -- there's one picture with Ana that is particularly jarring. But I have to say the shots with Coco alone are my favorites. And I like this idea of putting a kind of eccentric outcast character in a fashion magazine.
