Valentino’s farewell wishers

By Andrea Thatcher on January 24th, 2008

Valentino%20collage.jpg

The fashion world showed up en force ot bid farewell to Valentino yesterday. Catwalk Queen has reported on what was on the runway, and now we’re telling you what – or who – was in the front row.

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively was experiencing her first haute couture shows this week, and what an experience this one must have been for a novice. We think Blake looks lovely and surprisingly young in this. Of course she is young, but her look usually has such an edge to it, going for the hipster, world-weary vibe of her character Serena, this dress looks so innocent and fresh on her. We like it.

Writers’ strike gives stars more time for fashion! Blake Lively to attend Paris couture

By Andrea Thatcher on January 18th, 2008

With television shows and film projects on hold because of the Screen Writer’s Guild strike, actors not only have more time on their hands, but might just be searching for a few more opportunities for self promotion.

Fashion insiders have been predicting that this could end the lull of celebrity appearances at fashion weeks.

One bright young thing headed to Paris couture fashion week is Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively. The starlet has been invited to Chanel, Valentino, and Jean Paul Gaultier as a guest of Vanity Fair magazine which will then shoot a spread of the actress in the couture creations.

Lively is seen here at the Chanel Night of Diamonds dinner.

Gossip Girls love Henri Bendel

By Andrea Thatcher on December 7th, 2007

Henri%20Bendel.jpg

It looks like all the shopping at Bendel’s and name dropping of Henri himself are really just a coincidence on Gossip Girl. Though that may change since the store’s Web site and consumer hotline have both seen increased traffic after airings of the fashionable teen drama. Shoppers seem eager to find out if the scenes from the show were really filmed in store (they were) and to get their hands on fashions inspired by their favorite characters. They might even catch a glimpse of Serena or Jenny since the actresses who play them, Blake Lively and Taylor Momsen have been known to shop the store.

Designer Pick of the Week: Lorick

By Andrea Thatcher on December 4th, 2007

Lorick%20dress.jpg

Today WWD highlighted a few emerging designers and included Abigail Lorick in their list, so we thought it would be a perfect time to showcase the former T.S. Dixon designer’s first collection. We first wrote about Lorick in October when her fashions were used on Gossip Girl during a fashion-centric episode. We loved the ladylike dresses Blair wore for her mother’s ad campaign and had to share this fun designer with you. You can expect to see many of those designs and the ones on the Lorick Web site this spring at Steven Alan, Caravan and Darling in New York, at Eskell in Chicago and online at Activeendeavors.com, Gargyle.com and revolveclothing.com.

Get Blair Waldorf’s Gossip Girl style with this Marc Jacobs dress

By Andrea Thatcher on November 30th, 2007

Turkey day may be over, but there’s still plenty of occasions left to wear Blair Waldorf’s Thanksgiving Day dress from this week’s Gossip Girl. Blair passed on turkey for pie anyway, right? While Blair’s maid suggested she wear this MARC by Marc Jacobs metallic dress “with pearls” we think it’s much more easily worn in an ecclectic, downtown, “I always wear Marc Jacobs dresses to the grocery store” way. It’s sold out right now, but I’ll bet with Blair’s blessing they’ll get more in.

Gossip Girl Blake Lively at 7th on Sale gala

By Andrea Thatcher on November 16th, 2007

7th%20on%20Sale%20Blake%20Lively.jpg

I think Blake Lively should have raided her Gossip Girl alter ego Serena’s closet for the 7th on Sale Gala last night. She looks perfectly pretty in a Michael Kors dress, but doesn’t have the fashion-forward oomph we’re used to from her character. And, is it just us or does this dress remind you of the one Carrie Underwood wore to perform at the CMA’s?

Naomi Watts wore this dress from the Derek Lam Spring 2008 runway to the “Eastern Promises” premier at the London Film Festival and landed herself on Vogue’s best dressed list. It reminded us of the Milly dress Leighton Meester wore as Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl. Find out more after the jump.

Free People’s top knee and thigh-highs for fall

By Andrea Thatcher on October 17th, 2007

Free%20People%20tights.jpg

I’m a big fan of tights; they keep me warm in winter, hide a multitude of pasty-white sins, and more. And obviously, fashion’s fickle ways have been holding on to tights and leggings for a while now. But now that Carrie Bradshaw is known to be wearing thigh-high tights, the trend has taken a turn. No longer promoting warmth, the look is paired with minis with at least a few inches of bare leg showing. I shiver just thinking about it. But, I have to admit a certain asthetic appeal – and Free People must agree because they have a ton of options for fall. Get the details on our favorites, above, after the jump.

“Gossip Girl” features clothing by Lorick

By Andrea Thatcher on October 12th, 2007

In this past week’s episode of “Gossip Girl,” Blair’s mother Eleanor needed to pick the new model for her clothing line. While the fight between Blair and Serena broke out about who got to be the face of the collection, the clothing stayed proper and polite, feminine, and very pretty. To show this kind of Upper East Side style, “Gossip Girl” producers picked a real New York based label to represent the clothing Eleanor designed. Lorick designer Abigail Lorick’s spring collection was used on “Gossip Girl” to show real Upper East style.

“Gossip Girl” website offers innovative watch-it-buy-it option

By Andrea Thatcher on September 21st, 2007

The new CW show “Gossip Girl,” the fashion of which we discussed here, has a Web site suited for its fashion-obsessed audience. At the shows site viewers can click on items that the characters wore and purchase them, like the Tory Burch sequin tunic dress character Serena van der Woodsen (played by “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” actress Blake Lively) wore to the “Kiss on the Lips” party in the premiere episode. Keep in mind however that you might need an Upper East Side teenager’s disposable income to afford these items. The Burch dress, for example, retails for $450.

Gossip Girl = Glamour Girl? Upper East Side style on the small screen

By Andrea Thatcher on September 20th, 2007

Gossip%20Girl%202.jpg
If there’s one thing that teen dramas about snooty rich kids are good for, it’s clothes. Sometimes one of my favorite parts of watching “The O.C.” or “Gilmore Girls” was the outfits! The CW’s newest entry to the genre is “Gossip Girl”, and if the Vogue-esque photo shoot above is any indication we should be in for some eye candy. Yes, the boys are cute, but I mean the clothes! More pics after the jump!
