Project Runway Epsiode 11: The designers face the music

Email thisPosted Sep 25th 2008 at 1:00PM by Tiffany Neal

Can you guys believe it? After struggling to watch ten episodes of Project Runway this season, we finally got something good last night. No. really. This week, the designers ditched their normal impossibly thin mannequins for, drum roll please, themselves!

That's right. In this music themed show down, the designers had to design an outfit for each other based on th genre of music that was assigned to each of them. For example, Leanne had to turn Korto into a blue-blooded country music star and Jerell was forced to makeover that vile creature known as Kenley into a pop diva a la Britney Spears.

Oh, yes. Hilarity, bitchiness, and wild designs ensued immediately afterwards. In our gallery, check out all of the highs lows, and losers from last night.

Ve'cel Clothing was founded by Chester Bennington of the band Linkin Park to "promote individuality and uniqueness through different forms of fashion." You know, t-shirts (and one sweet hoodie).

Avril Lavigne: classic black

Once the territory of only the most hardcore punks, black nails became very mainstream for a few years. The trend is now receding, but you'll continue to see it on skater chicks like Avril Lavigne. If you love the classic, serious look, then black is your color of choice, skip the glitter and funny tips. You can find black nail polish almost anywhere these days, but for on-the-run rockers the Sally Hansen quick dry nail pen in black is convenient and inexpensive. Perfect for the low tech punk aesthetic.

Dress like a Jonas Brother

When we were done watching Disney's Camp Rock (again!)* we couldn't help but think how totally awesome it would be if the Jonas Brothers had their own line of clothing. Then we read that The Sun had an interview with the band and that one of them, we think it was Curly, or maybe Moe, said that they were thinking about doing just that! This is where we type OMG! OMG! OMG! like over and over again.

We. Could. Just. Die. A freaking Jonas Brothers clothing line? Did we say OMG yet?

Okay, so maybe we're spreading it a bit thick. As far as teenage idols go they seem like a better option than most, and they do have a safe sense of style which we're sure parents appreciate. One thing is for sure, it could be worse.

Does this mean that Libby Lu will have to add a boy's section?

*Yes, we really watched it. It's no High School Musical, but it's cute.

SlickSugar for the knee-high rock crowd

SlickSugar began as a way for two friends, both of them mothers, to find an outlet where they could express their creative sides and include their children in the process.

They decided on a clothing line with the goal of creating "items that will inspire children to pick up an instrument, sing in the car or dance down the stairs." Needless to say, music is the common thread between the designs.

Do you love the 80's? Perhaps you have a fondness for the big hair and power ballads of your youth or just an appreciation for those that came before you. Holy crap, everyone here was alive in the 80's, right?

Rock on with a cocktail ring

Email thisPosted Feb 4th 2008 at 9:04AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories

I've been a fan of the cocktail ring for some time now, but Vogue's Style.com has introduced a new twist on the standard sparkly bauble. Instead of sporting a ring with the same old bling, consider something slightly understated and more natural. Gemstones like amethysts take on a whole new look when left in a raw state.

However, the raw, natural state isn't for everyone -- some of us prefer a ring with enough sparkle to be seen from miles away. I mean, what easier way is there to dress up a casual sweater and jeans than to slide some (fake) ice on the right hand and head out for dinner? Also, if you like to talk half as much as I do, it's always helpful to have something to assist you in making a point, and if you incorporate hand gestures into your pontification, this is practically like wearing a microphone.

Interpol's Carlos D: from goth chic to whatever this is

Email thisPosted Jun 22nd 2007 at 4:04PM by Annie Wu

Filed under: Men, Celebrities with Style

The boys of the band Interpol have always been some of the most stylish men of the music industry. They always sport nice ties and sweet three-piece suits, looking as refined as their music sounds. The sharpest of the bunch has got to be bassist Carlos D, who has become known for his slick black hair and overall goth chic look. However, lately he's let his hair go more natural and has even sprouted a mustache. In a recent interview, Carlos talked about how he doesn't feel as motivated to dress up anymore. In a way, that's kind of admirable because he's still managed to look pretty nice. I must admit, though, I prefer his long hair and black suits to his funny mustache and bolo ties.

What do you think? Upgrade or downgrade? Goth suits or bola ties?

Besides the "nu-rave" crap, Paris and Milan's menswear shows look good

Email thisPosted Feb 5th 2007 at 3:21PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News, Men

For the über-trendy teenagers reading this, who actually enjoy looking like sci-fi-influenced candy ravers circa 1993, sorry -- but I hate your clothes. Fortunately, it seems I'm not the only one that isn't excited about the "nu-rave" trend that designers, and a few fashion bloggers seem to think will be all the rage in 2007. And, as noted by the Guardian's Hadley Freeman, while major designers may be temporarily caving to this desperate attempt "to find a youth trend to fill the vacuum left by the inevitable self-destruction of the Libertines," their Paris and Milan shows were otherwise successful.

Check out the article for a full run down on all the designer's contributions, but my personal favorite is Slimane at Dior. By refining British punk and mod styles, the designer captures both the chaos and the masculinity that seem to be central in our current return to rock (or grunge, or whatever). Clothes like this (or even the Burberry outfit pictured at right) dress up for a trendy day at the office, or down for a night out at your favorite rock club -- where, with any luck, you'll be listening to your city's latest, greatest, 70s-inspired grunge/rock/punk outfit. Classic.
