Fashion's Night Out's Fashion Show Featured a Dancing Gisele, a Rapping Pharrell, and a Whole Lot of Designer Duds

fashionologie — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 22:30:24 PDT

>> The audience at tonight's Fashion's Night Out fashion show wasn't limited to the 1,500 ticket-holders - crowds gathered behind police barricades across the street from the Lincoln Center Plaza for a glimpse of New York City's largest fashion show. Those who were lucky enough to nab tickets to the show were treated to a concentric-circled runway setup, with rows no more than two deep. Not only that, but among the audience was a large smattering of designers - Tory Burch, Tommy Hilfiger, Diane von Furstenberg, Jenna Lyons, Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, Phillip Lim, Vera Wang, Francisco Costa, and Donna Karan among them; models - Lauren Hutton, Bar Rafaeli, Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann; and other industry figures, including Anna Wintour, with favorites Blake Lively and Roger Federer next to her, and Si Newhouse himself. Bee Shaffer arrived 45 minutes early to the event, holding hands with boyfriend Jake Hurwitz.

Anna Wintour's fears that the show, scheduled to start at 7:30 pm, would begin late were unmerited - it started on the dot with Alicia Keys's "Empire State of Mind" playing on the loudspeaker as spotlights searched the audience and the fountain in the center of the setup rose and then fell.

As the audience looked for Gisele Bundchen, set to open the show's 171 looks, a Fashion's Night Out doubledecker bus pulled up next to the Plaza, carrying Bundchen, Angela Lindvall, Karolina Kurkova, Coco Rocha, Lily Donaldson, Lara Stone, Jourdan Dunn, Caroline Trentini, Sasha Pivovarova, Adriana Lima, Chanel Iman, and Karlie Kloss, each dressed in a Fashion's Night Out tee paired with a long ballgown skirt and heels. The twelve models dismounted the bus one by one, forming a line in front of the Plaza steps as the rest of the 150 model cast filled in behind them.

Gisele leading the way, the twelve openers made their way around the fountain, soon followed by groups of models clipping by showcasing "Fifties Flair," "Tartan Twist," "Rock Chic," "Go Global," and "Jazz-Age Cool." Each group wormed their way around the circular runway, the models coming in quick succession, highly choreographed and sometimes stopping and turning. A few were suffering from their heels by the end - Rose Cordero and Heidi Mount among them - and those in the "Weekend Wrap-Up" group, all swathed in capes and jackets, had sweat rolling from their temples after all the parading, thanks to the humid Indian Summer air.

Pharrell Williams popped up on the center fountain to close the extravaganza in a surprise performance, and Gisele and the rest of the openers paraded and danced back to the bus, this time in full-on designer gowns, with Naomi Campbell in the finale spot. As Pharrell joined them, he encouraged the audience - ticketed and not - to shop New York, because after all, that was the whole point of this 15-minute shindig. So will it work?

fashionologie — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 07:47:07 PDT

>> Fashion's Night Out is back with even more bang in its second year: in addition to a CBS special documenting the occasion, the official directory for the event - scheduled Sept. 10, from 6-11 pm -boasts almost 1,000 events, including a public fashion show for the first time ever.

Extreme Beauty Brings Out Three Extreme Beauties: Eva, Claudia, and Nadja

fashionologie — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:27:12 PST

>> Paris Fashion Week starts tomorrow, but fashion folk couldn't leave Milan without hitting up the Palazzo della Ragione last night for one last Milanese shindig, courtesy of Anna Wintour, Domenico Dolce, and Stefano Gabbana. The launch for the "Extreme Beauty in Vogue" exhibition - which Anna selected 89 images for - the party was likened to the Milanese equivalent of the Costume Institute Gala; in other words, the week's hottest ticket. Karl Lagerfeld made a beeline for the photos after mugging for a few cameras, while Anna was trailed by 60 Minutes's Morley Safer and Carine Roitfeld by CNN: “I am being followed round all the shows, and they are doing lots of interviews. But you won’t be seeing me naked.” Miuccia Prada sported one of her new Fall 2009 gladiatorial dresses, and rounding out the fashion wattage a troika of supermodels: two we see quite a bit of (Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova) and one we do not (Nadja Auermann).

Fashion In 50 Seconds 10/24/08

coutorture — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 06:35:32 PDT

MTV has decided not to release a controversial television show, called Model Maker, aimed at making young women into models by asking them to lose weight. Today Darryl Roberts takes us through the roller coaster ride of disapproval.

Sarah Palin's designer clothing will be given to charity when the campaign is over. More than anything we want a break down of just what this woman is wearing, because we're not seeing what Andre Leon Tally is seeing.

Lauren Hutton, who is the face of Mango's Fall 08 ad campaign, has also signed on to be the poster gal for Elizabeth and James--the line designed by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. To top it all off, we saw her photo on the Sartorialist yesterday. The woman is back.

Target deals with the economy by looking at their sourcing and other ways to drive the prices down. The company, who operates well over one thousand stores in the United States, does not plan to expand overseas just yet. If and when they do, it is said that they will start at our borders in Mexico and Canada.

Marios Schwab Delivers a Full-Blown ‘70s Inspired Collection For Halston Fall 2011

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 19:57:14 PST

>> Marios Schwab’s third collection for Halston was a direct reference to the ‘70s. “The Halston girl is a temptress,” said Schwab, who referenced Lauren Hutton’s character in “American Gigolo” as his inspiration. The presentation, which took place last night at Cedar Lake, had models set up on a pedestal wearing an array of gowns and dresses fitting for a glamorous party at Studio 54. Fluid Grecian-inspired chiffon gowns, pleated and draped cocktail dresses, and even sequined glow-in-the-dark creations - the lights dimmed down every 10 minutes to show off the display - were all present and dipped in hues of white, melon green, olive, and brown. However, it was Schwab’s daywear selection that really stood out amongst the crowd, most notably, a knotted shirtdress made in supple brown leather. Schwab has to head back to London to present his namesake collection, but not before indulging in a “a couple of cocktails” to celebrate the Halston collection. And what exactly will he be drinking to toast the night? “I like the mixed berry kind,” said Schwab.
