Alexander Wang's Coco Duffel - The 'It' Fall '09 Handbag

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories

Shopbop's Alexander Wang Coco DuffelThe last time fans of fashion totally lost their minds over the fabled "it" handbag was way back in the early to mid '00s, when the accessory and creative masters behind behind luxe labels like Chloe (Paddington), Prada (Fairy), and Fendi (Spy) were churning out coveted pieces as if each of their lives depended on it.

Holy Trish Goff! She's back on the runway after a three-year hiatus and didn't mind at all when we nearly swooned upon recognizing her backstage. She happily posed for a quick pic after the pre-show walkthrough at Roseland.

The rock and roll venue definitely set the tone for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund darling, Wang's fall '09 show. Dick Page crafted the ultimate moody face with contouring around the eyes, nose and cheekbones. He lit the eyes with a silvery cream shadow and blended it out with deep brown liner around the lash line. He completed the monochromatic look with translucent loose powder and nude lipstick.

The hair certainly garnered more attention, with its slick, boyish appearance from the front, and corseted wave in back, secured with hair bungee cords usually reserved for ponytails.

With all the black and white and punk accents on the clothes, the nails were kept subdued. According to Nonie Crème, creator of butter LONDON, "they were anti-gloss, but über-perfect."

Erin Wasson in Nina Ricci - I Want That!

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Get the Look

We think Erin Wasson is preparing to take over the world. First, she was splashed all over fashion mags with pal Alexander Wang, helping him style his first, breakout collection. Next, in our latest Victoria's Secret catalog, Erin seemed to be the model d'jour. And now, we're pretty sure she's taking Kate Moss on for the title of coolest supermodel to walk the earth. Although it sort of looks like she forgot her pants.

Tip of the Day: Sweating is in. Thanks Alexander Wang!

Filed under: Cosmetics, Fashion Week, Style Tip of the Day, Beauty Tips


(When designers go too far - click the photo to see the raciest runway pics!)

One of the few makeup trends that really caught our eye was the "sweaty" faces at Alexander Wang.

While we often get this look by, well, sweating like pigs, Shiseido makeup artist Dick Page made the models look sexy sweaty instead of gross sweaty.

"There's a lot of heat on the cheek and bridge of the nose," describes Dick Page, Shiseido's Makeup Artistic Director. "I want them to look overheated." You don't get more right on than that on a hot, humid NY day.



Since it is not about precision, the look is surprisingly easy to achieve. Page used different colors of cream blush across the middle of each models face in lieu of skin prep (foundations, concealers, etc). Next he added his new Pink Mesa lipstick with a dab of gloss in the middle of the lip. For eyes he added "murky weight" with smudged black cream liner. Just before the models hit the stage, Page covered their faces with a squirt of water. Simple right?

So next time you come out of the gym don't think "Ew! I'm so gross!" think "Ahh! I'm so Alexander Wang!"

I want that! Alexander Wang Goddess Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look


The Alexander Wang Goddess Dress was recently worn by two of young Hollywood's prettiest ladies – Lauren Conrad at her premiere for the "The Hills" third season and Megan Fox at a "Transformers" press conference in Seoul.

While Conrad went girl next door accessorizing with a delicate gold chain and round pumps, Megan Fox went bad girl, pairing her dress with gray ankle strap shoes and lots of tats. Wonder where her other tatty's are hiding beneath the Wang?

Looking super excited to be there too, Audrina Patridge is wearing Bebe.

Alexander Wang and crew for Uniqlo

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing

Today, WWD reports Uniqlo -- the Japanese version of American Apparel -- has enlisted Alexander Wang, Tim Hamilton, Loden Dager, and Juliana Jabur to design capsule collections for the brand's Young Designer's Invitation Project -- which supports new talent.

Uniqlo will release each designer's collection in the upcoming months with Jabur's pieces set to drop first at the end of this month, followed by Alexander Wang's color-block dresses and Loden Dager's menswear separates in May.

Each collection will consist of eight looks ranging in prices from $29 to $79.

Can anybody say awesome?

I'm all for affordable fashion -- especially when Alexander Wang is involved. I wonder if his muse/best friend/ stylist Erin Wasson helped create any of the pieces?

Either way, it's going to be amazing.
