The Emperor Valentino Reigns at New York Premiere March 18, 2009 2:00 pm >> Last night, Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti were in New York to fete the opening of Valentino: The Last Emperor — arguably their biggest Manhattan party ever, between the screening and the dinner for 200 of fashion's finest (including Anna Wintour, Anja Rubik, Jason Wu, and Chanel Iman) at the Plaza's Oak Room. The designer's six pugs Molly, Milton, Monty, Margot, Maude, and Maggie, who director Matt Tyrnauer has dubbed "the costars of the film," weren't present — according to Valentino, "they're getting some time away from me in Italy" — but maybe that's a good thing: Karolina Kurkova admitted, “they’re really not nice to everybody” and Gwyneth Paltrow agreed, calling the pugs "kind of mean."
It's a Doll's Life for Erin Fetherston Fall 2009 February 15, 2009 10:44 pm >> It wouldn't be an Erin Fetherston show without some fantasy, and for Fall 2009, it was all about the living doll. Instead of doing any long, flowy nightgown-like dresses like she normally has, Fetherston went with an unusual amount of structure for the upcoming season — stiff bell-shaped skirts and fitted, tailored jackets were included in a number of looks. Some of the dark jewel tone colors combined with full skirts and bows recalled Zac Posen's Fall 2008 collection, and some of the dress and skirt shapes were remniscent of Miu Miu Spring 2008 — albeit Fetherston's hems were longer. Regardless, construction as a whole was noticeably improved, and Fetherston sent out a number of the frothy, pastel minidresses that her fans know and love. As for the glittery animal masks worn atop the model's heads? Those were the contribution of Fetherston's fiance, Hedi Ferjani.*image: source
