Alexander Wang's Coco Duffel - The 'It' Fall '09 Handbag
Filed under: Handbags, Accessories
The 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.Continue reading Alexander Wang's Coco Duffel - The 'It' Fall '09 Handbag
FALL 2009 FASHION WEEK - Backstage Beauty at Alexander Wang
Filed under: Fashion Week
MAKEUP: DICK PAGE FOR SHISEIDO
HAIR: ODILE FOR SHISEIDO
NAILS: NONIE CRÈME FOR BUTTER LONDON/BEAUTY.COM
BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Sweet 'n vicious
THE SCOOP: 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."

Taylor Momsen is More than a Little Girl Playing Dress Up
Filed under: Celebrities with Style
Taylor Momsen wears a mullet on TV. She's been in the blind items for drug abuse, even though she's only 15 years old. She's already dabbling in the crazy world of designer clothes -- and who can blame her, being surrounded by the insane outfits on Gossip Girl? With all of this, some are ready to say that she's playing out of her league. But, Taylor thinks she's ready for the big time.Continue reading Taylor Momsen is More than a Little Girl Playing Dress Up

Oy. Super popular e-commerce site Eluxury.com will no longer function in its current capacity, opting instead to close the retail portion of the site over the next six months. 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
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.

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.
