New York Fashion Week: Graey Fall 09

By Andrea Thatcher on February 14th, 2009

Graey 2.jpg

The scene: Stark bright white light and falls, with the bright colors of the Janet Kim’s designs standing out like jewels.

The fashion: Wavy patterns on flowy fabrics – grays, fuchsia, tangerine and black mingled with lace tights and high heeled T straps. The dresses were a sweet mix of tank dresses and doll dresses, some with sheer inlays.

“I wanted fun, surprising combinations- bright colors with lace and knits that show off a woman’s body in a subtle and feminine way,” Kim said.

New York Fashion Week: Lindsay and Samantha at Charlotte Ronson Fall 2009

By Andrea Thatcher on February 13th, 2009

Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan fashion week.jpg

Unfortunately, her famous family (and their significant others) remains the best thing about Charlotte Ronson’s fashion line, as far as I can tell. Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan were on hand for the fall 09 collection, as were Mark Ronson and The Like drummer Tennessee Thomas. The clothing was sort of amateurish styling of Marc Jacobs parodies. I did like the floral print used, and the floral shirt dress after the jump was one of the pieces I enjoyed from the show.

New York Fashion Week: The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection Fall 2009

By Andrea Thatcher on February 13th, 2009

The Heart Truth once again kicked off the official Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week schedule in New York’s Bryant Park this morning. The usual smattering of A-to-C listers paraded down the runway in red dresses by various designers, though Michelle Obama did not follow in Laura Bush’s footsteps as many had hoped she would.

My favorite was Carmen Marc Valvo’s dress, too bad Katie Couric puts on such an annoying show of “OMG, like I can’t believe I’m DOING THIS! I’m a serious journalist!” Yeah, right. Joining Ms. Couric were Jenni Garth in Badgley Mischka, Brittany Snow in Marchesa and Tori Spelling in Betsey Johnson, among others.

Catwalk Queen‘s Kimberley Foster writes…

Halston decided early on, before the economy went bottoms up, that it would forfeit a runway show at New York Fashion Week for a video presentation instead. Later today the full video will be sent via email showcasing Halston’s A/W 2009-10 line, which will shortly be followed by a look book and an invitation to see the collection at their showroom. But for now, you can check out this sneak peek of the video starring model Dree Hemingway running through the streets of New York. Click play to watch above.

A little preview of Abaete for Fall 09

By Andrea Thatcher on February 4th, 2009

Abaete sketch.jpg

My New York Fashion Week calendar is still in the “Oh, look at that, I’ll have quite a few shows to get to” stage and has not yet reached overscheduled, freakout-inducing madness. But one show we at Shiny always make sure to get to, with our backstage access courtesy of Redken, is Abaete.

This year Elaine will be covering the Abaete Fall 09 show, and lucky her! Daria Werbowy favorite Priestbird will be performing at the show, so maybe the model will be in the front row?

The girls at Fashionista also go their hands on a sketch, above, from designer Laura Poretzky of one of the collection looks.

Looks fab to us!

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on January 6th, 2009

Oscar de la Renta.jpg

While many designers are scaling back their fashion week presentations, Oscar de la Renta will be showing twice this season.

“[2008] has a been good year for me,” the designer told The Daily last month. “While some businesses faced tough times, I actually added 15 employees to my company. Sales-wise, the last three months have been solid for us.”

Like Calvin Klein, de la Renta will put on one fashion show for the press, the other for retailers. The shows are slated for 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Wednesday February 18.

Spring 2009 Wish List!

By Andrea Thatcher on September 25th, 2008

Thumbnail image for Spring 2009 wish list.jpg

With a few more Milan shows and Paris still to go, there’s only a bit more time to dream of spring 2009 before fall 2008 hits us hard! So I’ve compiled a list of my favorites from the runways we’ve seen so far. It’s New York heavy since these pieces have been rolling around in my head all month long. I’m not sure if all these items all fit into one wardrobe or not, or if this list just reveals how fashion-schizo I really am. Whatever the case, this is my spring 2009 wish list!

The Budget Fashionista celebrates fashion week with some frugality

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on September 14th, 2008

I was so bummed when I got out of the Gottex show too late to get to The Budget Fashionista fashion week party! But at least I got to hear all about it.

Kathryn Finney, the Fashionista herself seen here with Carson Kressley and Roshumba Williams on the red carpet, was celebrating five years of budget-concious fashion advice.

“My goal was to create a fun, fabulous Fashion Week party that
celebrates REAL women with REAL budgets,” said Finney. “Frugal is the
new black, and the incredible turnout and support from my friends and
colleagues demonstrated that my advice for getting the most out of
your fashion budget is needed now more than ever.”
