NYLON Documents Bad Fashion Week Street Style

Filed under: Style in the News



Normally, when NYLON asks Mark "The Cobrasnake" Hunter to go on some type of fashion mission for them the results tend to be mixed. However, everyone's favorite middle-aged hipster did a good thing with his A/W '09 New York Fashion Week weird style feature for the indie tome.

FALL 2009 FASHION WEEK - Models at Robert Geller

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Men, Fashion Week



Backstage, just moments before Robert Geller FW '09, we caught these models mugging with their serious faces on. This group represents the romantic elements mixed with elegance that his story has expanded to include. Some might say the guy this season is less nomadic and more refined.

Jillian Lewis - Hair

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Fashion Week


The hair look at Jillian Lewis was executed by Jeffrey Reitz, creative director Philip Pelusi Design Studio for the past 31 years. As shown above, the direction was for a slick front that moves into texture. And the effect is to create a sense that "anything can happen," Reitz explained.

3.1 Phillip Lim - NY Fashion Week Invitation

Filed under: Fashion Week


One of the cooler fashion week invitations this season comes courtesy of 3.1 Phillip Lim. We did a little Photoshop work to obscure the rsvp info (he's in the Bryant Park tents, part of the official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week program). The notable detail work seen here is that the card stock was run through a sewing machine to create the red, ribbon-esque pattern. We think we can even make out marks left by the feed dogs. It's simple and elegant, exactly what we expect from Phillip Lim. Maybe red pops of color will be part of this season's motif?

VPL Fashion Week Invitation Exquisite Corpse

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Fashion Week


VPL 09
Exquisite Corpse is a type of art exercise with several contributors who know nothing of each other's work. It's like folding a paper into thirds, with three people each drawing a head, torso or legs. The result usually is some alien or oddity. We used to play during study hall.

Band of Outsiders Fashion Week Invitation

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Fashion Week


The fashion week invite from Band of Outsiders and Boy is a digital image of mail. We love the line, show above, "You should totally come." Best idea we've heard all week. We'll totally be there, to the max extreme. Our soundtrack suggestion: "Return to Sender" by Elvis.

Charity Couture: Red Dress Collection Auctions Off One-of-a-Kind Designs

Filed under: Style for a Cause, Fashion Week



Every year during New York Fashion Week, tastemakers count on the Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection to send a showstopping stream of one-of-a-kind gowns down the runway.

The event brings together the likes of Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen, who create original gowns to benefit The Heart Truth. (The organization that raises awareness about women's heart disease.)

This year, the show is getting an exciting new spin. Now, in partnership with Clothes Off Our Back, some of those previously unattainable dresses will be auctioned off to the public after the show. The proceeds will benefit children's charities.

Look for a sequined Diane von Furstenberg stunner Kelly Ripa wore to last year's event, along with gowns from Carmen Volvo and Donna Karan, among others. The auction starts online on February 6, but if online shopping isn't your thing, you can also witness the real things on display at the Rockefeller Center from Valentine's Day until February 21.

Project Runway: "This girl does not look young, cool, or hip at all"

Filed under: Style in the News

Oh, snap! The contest is almost over ya'll and everyone is going down swinging. Last night, the designers had to create formal gowns inspired by nature. And lets just say, some of their looks should have never seen the light of day. As you all know, the contestant that was kicked off last night would be the only one out of the group of four who would not go on to show at Bryant Park during New York Fashion Week. The judges asked each one before they made their final decision which other two designers -- along with themselves -- deserved to go.

As you all can imagine, all hell broke loose. In our gallery, check out all of the lows, highs, and losers from last night.

Derek Lam Spring 2009

Filed under: Runway Trends, Fashion Week

Derek Lam's Spring 2009 collection offered a thoroughly modern take on American sportswear--and was one of Fashion Week's standout shows.

The 30s-via-80s silhouettes included floaty skirts and relaxed yet strong-shouldered suits. )Think Faye Dunaway in "Bonnie and Clyde" meets Jerry Hall.) Jackets and dresses featured sprinkles of sequins and metallics. And while a neutral palette dominated--Lam described the shades as "pumice, stone and terra cotta"--pops of bright citrus shades made their way down the catwalk, too.

Lam has been one of fashion's rising stars since launching his self-titled line in 2003. But in our minds, this collection cemented his status as one of America's freshest young designers.
