New York Fashion Week: Zac Posen Fall 09 Gallery

By Andrea Thatcher on February 22nd, 2009

Zac Posen’s Fall 2009 fashion show was one of the most-talked about of fashion week. It wasn’t just the beautiful couture-level clothes. And it wasn’t only the amazing model watching, yes, Coco Rocha, Lily Donaldson, Alek Wek and Sasha Pivovarova were all there. (I’ll admit to squeeling several times.) But it was the show itself with 5 baby grand pianos on the runway played by the 5 Browns, a brother/sister piano troupe, and the glitz and glamour Posen – and we – love.

I already gave you a peek at the Vivienne Tam Fall 09 presentation, but wanted to share some of the exclusive content provided to the press via blogging stations at the event. As you can see, guests were able to report live from the show and peruse a lookbook and video presentation on the desktop of the available high-tech HP computers.

Keep reading for some images from the Fall 09 Vivienne Tam lookbook!

New York Fashion Week: Ports 1961 Fall 2009

By Andrea Thatcher on February 20th, 2009

Ports 1961 collage.jpg

Ports 1961 participated heavily in the trend of neutrals, but unfortunately all the beige combined with rougher textures just led to a sort of sack-cloth look to the clothing. When designer Tia Cibani went bright with hot pink saris and black and pink coats it wasn’t much more successful. There were some lovely pieces in the collection, though, when Cibani paid more attention to tailoring. A jasmine lace choli dress, and a black on black Nigella damask stepped up the style a notch and had front row face Olivia Palermo (see pic after the jump) looking like she might actually wear a piece.

New York Fashion Week: Vivienne Tam Fall 2009 collection

By Andrea Thatcher on February 20th, 2009

Vivienne Tam 2.jpg

Vivienne Tam chose one of my favorite presentation styles to showcase her Fall 2009 collection. Models were perched on blocks where viewers could approach each piece to fully appreciate all the details and take everything in. It was especially nice since there was so much concept behind the collection. It was inspired by the concept of nothingness and the Asian philosophy of creating an empty space that gives way to something new and unexpected.

New York Fashion Week: Carmen Marc Valvo party gallery

By Andrea Thatcher on February 20th, 2009

The Carmen Marc Valvo cocktail party Wednesday night was fabulous, of course, but the clothes were still the stars studded around the room on mannequins both live and artificial. It was all red-carpet-worthy eveningwear – maybe we’ll see a piece on Sunday? A video presentation was playing throughout the evening, which you can watch here. Plus check out our gallery below, including a snap of Carmen!

Oscars scoop straight from Mark Badgley and James Mischka!

By Andrea Thatcher on February 19th, 2009

Badgley Mischka Andrea.jpg

Talking to Mark Badgley and James Mischka today at the launch of their new fragrance, Couture, they let slip some Oscar fashion scoopage! They *are* dressing one of the best actress nominees – so it’s Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Melissa Leo, Meryl Streep or Kate Winslet. They also said the actress in question does have the fragrance and perhaps hinted that she would be part of the advertising campaign.

“We think it’s important that the Oscars remain important and aspirational,” James Mischka said. “If they all wear black strapless dresses it will be sad.”

The guys were super sweet, and I just loved The Fall 09 Badgley Mischka collection earlier this week, so they’ve definitely earned a fan in me. Be sure to check ShinyGloss for more on the fragrance!

First Vivienne Westwood and now Richie Rich. Pamela Anderson burst out onto the runway for the finale of the Richie Rich show on Wednesday at the Waldorf-Astoria. Sprayed from head-to-toe in glitter, the former Baywatch babe left little to the imagination in a one-piece gold thong swimsuit, decorated in plastic coins. The audience cheered her on, as the 41-year-old joined ex-Heatherette designer, Richie Rich, to close his star-studded show. Other highlights included a performance by Kat de Luna, a troupe of topless men and catwalk appearances by Aubrey O’Day and Tinsley Mortimer. Party central!

New York Fashion Week: Tory Burch backstage gallery

By Andrea Thatcher on February 19th, 2009

Tory Burch is smart about this recession business. She didn’t sacrifice the luxe factor for her Fall 09 collection, far from it, she seems to have upped the sophistication and chic styling. But a big part of her collection? The affordable statement necklace.

“We spent a lot of time on costume jewelry, shoes and handbags,” she said backstage before her show. “[The jewelry] is all made by hand and will be available in stores and on the Web site.”

I love that, because a lot of times the jewelry for a show is one-of-a-kind and can’t be purchased, or certainly can’t be purchased by the average jane. What is TB thinking for fall 09?

“My favorite piece for fall is ths soft white jacket with feather detail … the skinny leather pants I love … every look in [this collection] I would wear myself.”

New York Fashion Week: Anna Sui Fall 09

By Andrea Thatcher on February 19th, 2009

Kim and the Catwalk Queen gang have been waiting eagerly for the arrival of Agyness Deyn and Daisy Lowe at New York Fashion Week and here they are! The duo, alongside Lily Donaldson, stormed the runway at the Anna Sui Fall 2009 show last night. The collection itself was a romantic, feminine affair inspired by ‘reading lots of Proust’, according to the designer. Silk bohemian fabrics and early French velvet coats held such drama that one might have been forgiven for thinking they were watching a theatrical performance. This was my fashion week buddy Melissa’s favorite show of the week, and she’s gone to all the biggies.

New York Fashion Week: Tibi Fall 2009 video

By Andrea Thatcher on February 18th, 2009

Brights with black told one of the color stories at the Tibi Fall 2009 fashion show, in contrast with the primary-colored, hippie-chic flower child dresses that flowed down the runway next. Is this the ’70s or the ’80s? And is it fall or spring, for that matter? A girl would be mighty chilly in some of those thin dresses.

New York Fashion Week: Diesel Black Gold Fall 09

By Andrea Thatcher on February 18th, 2009

Unlike the Barbie girls, these ’20s-inspired dollies were dropped on some God-forsaken playground in the ’80s and have been resuscitated a little worse for the wear to stomp the Diesel Black Gold runway.

New York Fashion Week: c’leb studded front row at Pamela Roland Fall 09 show

By Andrea Thatcher on February 18th, 2009

Christine Tarlecki writes…

The stars came out for Pamela Roland yesterday, including Nicky and Paris Hilton continueing their rounds. Amanda Bynes and Michelle Trachtenberg sat next to each other in the front row and looked as if they were having a great time, and just a few seats down was Kristen Bell. Before the show started I also spotted Miss Jay and Nigel of “America’s Next Top Model.”

Designer Pamella DeVos evoked the elegance of Russia with warm furs, crystal- and jewel-encrusted gowns and deep jewel-toned dresses in silk, cashmere, crepe, chiffon and velvet with gold and silver adornments.

New York Fashion Week: Behnaz Sarafpour Fall 09

By Andrea Thatcher on February 18th, 2009

Behnaz Sarafpour collage.jpg

Behnaz Sarafpour put out a tight collection of what she’s best at for Fall 09, which is probably what many consumers are looking for right now. Pieces that exemplify a designer and will hold a special place in their wardrobes, as many of Sarafpour’s clean, geometric dresses would do for day, and pretty little velvet dresses would do for night.

And thanks to Fashionista for clearing up why I was a lot late for the show when I thought crosstown traffic had made me only a little late – the invite I went off of said 2:30 while the official schedule said 2:00. I literally saw the show going on as I dashed past the windows of Exit Art to see the second half from practically the doorway. But it was actually an excellent vantage point for a video of the models’ final pass.
