Lauren Bush Launches Eco-Friendly Clothing Line

We haven't sewn a day in our lives, and if we ever attempted to, our garment would probably amount to some type of bedazzled epic fail. Therefore, we can imagine it's probably a pretty nerve-wracking prospect to launch a clothing line right, while shanty towns pop up across America.

I want that! Tod's bag

Email thisPosted Aug 4th 2008 at 8:13AM by Boydie Beener

Las Vegas actress/model Molly Sims has recently been promoting her hosting duties with Kelly Ripa for the QVC Life from the Hampton's event. Their TV spoofs have been hilarious and Molly's outfit reflects the playful nature of the occasion.

The flirty sundress paired with a studded belt, gladiators, and a killer Tod's bag says something like "I'm in the ritzy Hampton's but I'm so rich and famous that I can play it down and still look hot suckas." We kid, we kid. She seems nicer than that. Her near makeup-less face and casually pulled back hair are also perfect for her beachy location and the laid-back atmosphere of the affair.

• DKNY dress, Bonton.com, $120

• Diane von Furstenberg belt, DVF.com, sold out

• Tod's "Peggy" bag, Bluefly, $990

• Giuseppe Zanotti Flat strappy sandal, Amazon.com, $549.95

Lucy Sykes sundresses for girls

At some point this summer, there will be a family reunion, wedding or christening. If the good news is that kids are invited, but the bad news is the idea of an itchy, stiff dress turning your little princess into a monster, then check out Lucy Sykes New York, and all the pretty sundresses.

Beautiful prints, lightweight cotton, and, for a special party dress, fairly reasonable prices -- certainly under $100. It's not Target, but it's also not Dior. The dresses have a classic shape, with twirly skirts and enough ruffles to be festive without looking like a square dancing costume. They are also refreshingly free of glitter or other Bratz-like flair.

Sykes and her doubtlessly beautiful family -- including sons Titus and Heathcliff -- spend weekends in the Hamptons and jet around the world to Paris, Milan and London. Lucy tries to infuse her dresses with the spirit of these places. We're not sure if she succeeds, but we can definitely imagine them on some little girls we know, playing tag while the grown ups sip celebratory cocktails. Now that's a summer party.

Fashion crime: fur-haters graffitti DK's house

Once again, anti-fur coalition forces have decided to set their sights on the home of fashion empress Donna Karan. This time, a group called the Paint Panthers decided that it would be a good idea to spray paint some messages to the designer on the road leading up to her house in the Hamptons. One message read "Bunny Butcher" in hot pink scrawl with an arrow pointing towards DK's house. Another featured a carton bunny and the message "I don't want to be a handbag."

BET's Rip the Runway: Swimwear

Gallery: 11 Swimwear fashions from Rip the Runway

Some of the swimwear shown by Amaya Swimwear looked like something you might pick up this summer for your neighbor's pool party -- fresh, pretty, flattering, and totally wearable.

Other pieces, however, were High Fashion Swimwear, with capes, cutouts, and details you wouldn't dare get wet -- perfect for days out on the yacht or that A-list pool party in the Hamptons. Seriously fashionable or seriously wearable, all the suits had stunning details and interesting accents.

I loved that they ran the gamut -- it almost seemed like real people could wear even this to the beach, given the proper motivation (like promise of really, really beautiful boys). And, for the most part, the models were beautiful and real; a couple looked underfed, but most of them looked healthy and comfortable in their skin. And that is a Good Thing for those of us feeling just a little nervous about beach season.

Be sure to check out the gallery of these designs and others from Rip the Runway!

Victorian sensibility

Email thisPosted Jul 30th 2006 at 1:22PM by Anne Metz

Filed under: Clothing, Vintage and Retro

As Bill Cunningham points out in the New York Times, the Victorian look is back ... or at least it is among a certain set in New York, judging from what the Who's Who was wearing to outdoor parties in the Hamptons and at Brooklyn's Prospect Park.

Calling these dresses with trains a throwback to "the Victorian gaslight era," Cunningham makes one wonder what will be the next fad from Victorian England.
Possibilites include:

Lord Tennyson's epic-length lyric poem In Memoriam
child labor
the Boer War
the last gasp of landed aristocracy

As they said in Victorian times, the sun never sets upon England. Will the sun ever set upon Victorian fashion?
