 Fashion Week Tents at Bryant Park
It has been rumored that organizers of New York fashion week are going to announce that next year, Fashion Week will be moving from Bryant Park (where Fashion Week has been held for the last 15 years) to Lincoln Center.
Apparently, park management has been complaining for years about the invitation-only shows had grown too large and were restricting access to the park. Although Fashion Week was welcomed in 1993, when it started, there have been many clashes between Fashion Week organizers and the park’s management company.
The problems escalated in 2006 when the Bryant Park Corporation …continue reading
A model walks wearing Vera Wang
Vera Wang
Dark was light and airy at Vera Wang’s runway show as the designer celebrated the midnight hour. The collection was an exploration of black as more than just a color, but rather its inherent texture, volume, composition and sensibility. Wang illustrated a dark romance, roughing up her scalloped organza and wool crepe gown with a slight, disheveled touch. Jet black tulle and feathers felt playful, while long gloves and bold, detailed shoulders were sophisticated and powerful. While glamorous to the end, Wang did tone down the opulence, opting for black twill jackets and …continue reading

The associate press reports:
LONDON – A bereaved Alexander McQueen left a note, then hanged himself in his apartment on the eve of his mother’s funeral, a coroner’s inquest said Wednesday, giving the cause of the fashion designer’s death as asphyxiation and hanging.

 PETA's ad featuring Michelle Obama.. without her permission
Both PETA and Weatherproof recently put out ads featuring the first couple without their permission, and even though the White House was upset… the ads will most likely stay up.
PETA president Ingrid Newkirk told Robin Givhan of the Washington Post:
“We got a call from the White House counsel’s office,” Newkirk says. “We said to them, we’re not selling a coat, only an idea that glamorous beautiful women who you look up to don’t wear fur. . . . We’re honoring her. Lawyers are lawyers, but PETA is honoring her fashion sense.” So there.
“PETA …continue reading

Jacket company Weatherproof has posted a billboard in Times Square over Red Lobster.. with a picture of President Obama in front of the great wall of china, with the line “A Leader In Style.” Though President Obama is a pretty big celebrity, the company made one mistake… they never got the permission to use this picture.
The company now calls the jacket he was wearing “The Obama Jacket.”
Company president Freddie Stollmack has been gloating over the president’s choice since he ordered a high-res version of the photo and examined the logo and zipper pull with a magnifying …continue reading
