The Old-School Fashion Hierarchy Is Falling Down

AP

What would the fashion industry look like if it shrugged off the exclusivity that has characterized it for, well, centuries, and cut out the middleman? It seems like the process is already well underway. This year’s Fashion Weeks had everyone wondering the same thing, and the buzz is best summed up thusly:

“The shows during September and October were a first glimpse of what the elitist fashion world could soon become: a business where designers take their collections directly to customers, no longer filtered through fashion editors at glossy magazines and buyers at top stores.”

But does that really mean the end of old-school power players like, say, Anna Wintour and Joe Zee? [New York Times]

Giles Deacon: The Next Big Thing?

Giles Deacon is now officially one of those “ones to watch.” Fashion insiders swoon over him, and the designer gained quite a bit of recognition last year at London Fashion Week with his Pac-Man themed collection, and when he presented in Paris yesterday, the successful reception of his line sealed him in as an international designer on the rise.

Take A Deep Breath, Clogs Are Back In Style

Black Eel Wedge Mules, $545, Sigerson Morrison

Before I started ninth grade, I carefully selected a few new pieces of clothing that I thought would help me make the transition from awkward junior high student to stylish high schooler. Among these items were a pair of Gap jeans, a brown silk-blend knit Banana Republic top, and suede J.Crew clogs. Man, I loved those shoes. They made me feel so chic—and tall!—as I clomped around my high school’s hallways.

The Fashion Peacekeepers: Rihanna’s 9 Best Looks From Paris Fashion Week

Rihanna

Rihanna is never a slouch when it comes to dressing up, but certain tabloids and bloggers have called her out for a multitude of fashion atrocities during Paris Fashion Week, where she attended several shows and generally caused a paparazzi meltdown wherever she went. We say she’s young, she’s beautiful, and she’s not afraid to take fashion risks. On top of all that, we Fashion Peacekeepers think she looks really kick-ass, even if she does go a little crazy at times, like with this fur muff she wore to Chanel. Click through for more of her best moments in the City of Light.

Quick Pic: Sean Lennon’s Girlfriend Is All Tied Up

Kemp and Sean Lennon

When off duty, models usually still display a great sense of style (it is kind of part of their job description, after all), but Sean Lennon‘s gf, Kemp, looks like she might be taking the bondage trend a wee bit too literally, no? Either that or Sean dressed her for this Fendi party. He does look like he’s just been caught doing something bad. [Paris, 10/7/09]

10 Kookiest Hairstyles From Fashion Week

sonia rykiel runway

As Fashion Week in Paris came to a close today, we decided to take a look back at the hairstyles that came down the runway in the fashion capital as well as in London, Milan, and New York. Here, the most inventive ‘dos of the season. And by “inventive,” we really mean never in a million years could I or would I wear my hair like that.

We actually love Rebecca Taylor’s bowtie hair that came down the catwalk this fall in NYC. It’s just not the easiest thing to achieve.

Lady Gaga Ruins Alexander McQueen’s Live Stream!

lady gaga vogue shoot

Alexander McQueen was all set to revolutionize insider-y Fashion Week by broadcasting his spring/summer 2010 runway show live on the web. The fashion blogs were psyched, and so were we. Unfortunately, fashion history was not made, and who should be at fault but Lady Gaga. When the pop star posted to Twitter that her new single, “Bad Romance,” would be debuting at the McQueen show, the streaming website was inundated by thousands of visitors, causing it to crash.

No fashion for the masses this time, kiddies. Maybe next season designers who want to stream their shows live will think about increasing their bandwidth (and no, that doesn’t refer to dress size). [Elle UK]

How To Do The Falling Model Dance

Falling Model

Even professional runway walkers have off-days. Yes, sometimes models wobble, and sometimes they fall down. Inspired by the this season’s models who hit the skids on the catwalk—thanks to all those crazy high heels—we’ve created a new dance: The Falling Model. There are three basic moves. Pick which one works for you, then try it out on the dance floor. You’ll impress all your fashionista friends!

The Oh-Hell-No: Pinwheel both arms, sending the right arm up and the left arm down as you dip towards the ground. Freeze. Smile like you know what you’re doing. Push out your chest as if you’re on the verge of a nip-slip. On tiptoe, spread your legs slightly, but do not flash your panties. Stand up. Do it again.

Quick Pic: Kate Moss Forgot To Wear Her Nippies

Kate Moss

Kate Moss clearly missed the memo regarding pasties and Nippies being so hot right now. Always the trendsetter, she opted for a more “natural” look for her front row appearance at Yves Saint Laurent’s Spring 2010 show. And it looks like it was cold in there, too. [Paris, 10/6/09]

Can Temporary Tattoos Be Elegant?

Chanel Spring 2010 temporary tattoos

In fashion, it’s all about the details—from the choice of buttons to the hemline—and designer Karl Lagerfeld is a master of the little things. While much of the talk about the Chanel spring 2010 show has been about the barnyard setting and Lily Allen‘s live performance, we noticed an interesting-yet-subtle element: Some of the models sported Chanel bracelet and garter temporary tattoos. Layered on their wrists and upper thighs, the fake tattoos resembled chic chains, rather than tacky tribal bands. Wanna try out a similar look for a few bucks? Pick up a few temporary inks from a 25-cent vending machine at the grocery store. Keep reading for closeups and online purveyors that sell similar faux ink.

Chanel Spring 2010: Old McKarl Had A Farm

chanel spring 2010 show

Chanel presented its spring 2010 collection this morning in Paris, taking a much cheekier route than its usual sleek, highbrow runway show. This time, Karl Lagerfeld drew upon his past (having grown up on a farm) outfitting the Grand Palais with a replica of Marie Antoinette’s farm house, complete with barnyard accouterments and hay. Chanel’s latest muse, Lily Allen, performed as models showed off flirty outfits—schoolgirl skirts with milkmaid headscarves, red-white-and-blue garden party dresses, creamy clogs, and floral crocheted jackets. E-I-E-I-O, indeed. Click through for more from the runway.

Calling All Barbie Look-Alikes!

Barbie Doll

Do you look like Barbie? Have you been graced with her odd proportions and doll-like looks? Or maybe you have a lingering obsession from childhood that has yet to go away?

Well, Dubai Fashion Week wants you. While the blond bombshell took over New York Fashion Week in February, she’s making her way across the globe, and the next stop is the UAE. 7Days, a newspaper from the United Arab Emirates, is even holding a contest, calling for any real-life Barbie dolls. Simply email them with a description of your Barbie-ness and the winning entry will not only receive tickets to the Barbie fashion show but a feature in the newspaper. Maybe the woman who went through 100 plastic surgeries to look like Barbie should enter.
