Street hero: Fashion Week Day 5 & 6

Share

We are heading to the home stretch with three more days of fashion and a trunk load of goodies from brands like KY, Bali Bras, Boots Cosmetics, and MAC (will we ever use all of this?). Yesterday, I hit The Daily Suite for a massage from the Oasis Day Spa girls. The KY jelly girl seemed to blush a bit when she was mentioning the “benefits” of the lube. It’s okay lovely, I know what KY does, no need to go into details and tell me about it’s use as a lubricant.

The Two Nicks : Rockstar Intern Nichole with Nicky Taylor

Later it was off to the tents for Diesel. The show was spectacular (expect a full review soon). Our rockstar intern Nichole Werhner sat in front of the man “who is IMG” and discussed the lack of color on the runways. Nichole will have to share all her juicy bits including her chat with Miss Wintour, hanging with Agnes Deyn and her hustle to get into every show and every party (she’s my hero right now).

After Diesel I met with Tito from Portland Fashion Week about the prospect of creating a New York preview show to fall inline with Fashion Indie Week: Brooklyn. The deal seems like ago, so now we will be able to present more sustainable fashions this year from a bevy of designers from across the nation. Expect Fashion Indie Week : Brooklyn and Portland Fashion Week to be our big pushes over the next few months.

Later, we walked through the runway show for New York Couture. MTV was there, following our every step as we prepped for this massive event. I finally got to meet Audrey Kitching (total sweetheart), taught the models a walk or two, and then put out fires left and right. The event will be “bananas” as Cassie K would say. And to be honest she’s right!!! Rye Rye (the Shake Your Body to the Ground” girl) will perform as well as a who’s who of indie music. These are the bands you need to discover!!! Hell, we’re no GEN ART, but we know how to throw a f*ckin party.

Today, I was off to the tents. Hit Malan Breton in the morning with Diana Eng. Met with Cassie and MTV at 10 for Nanette Lepore. Chloe (our favorite little writer) stopped by and hit Milly. Nichole hit Carlos Miele. I discovered how amazingly easy it is to get into things when a camera crew is following you around.

If only she’d look at me with those longing eyes. – sigh –

Introduced Cassie to Fern Mallis, who made it very clear that she was not interested in attending Cassie’s event cause Zac Posen was “better”. Good job routing for the home team Ferny. Guess that’s fair. P.S. I might secretly be in love with Fern, I can’t help staring at her as she sits front row of every show. She’s this fashionable power trip who reminds me of the sorority party girl who used to do beer bongs in my dorms. I can’t help it, I easily fall for beer drinkers and women in power.

Met some dudes from Bravo, who were finishing up the filming of Malan’s web show (Great stuff, if you haven’t seen it do). Will be pitching to them a Fashion Indie show this week (seriously Watch What Happens when Daniel Saynt doesn’t get his way). After a while was tired of it all so I headed out and started writing you.

See ya Som, we hardly knew ye.

Oh, yeah – Peter Som’s PR person invited us to his show last night, we RSVP’d and just got a call that we are uninvited. WE WILL NEVER WRITE ABOUT PETER SOM AGAIN!!! Don’t invite us and then un-invite us crazy PR girl for American Express, that is so not cool. For once we we’re actually excited about Peter Som, a designer that hasn’t impressed us in some time. Guess Peter’s out.

Tonight I’m off to GUCCI and the uberly fun celebrity filled gala event at the UN. I don’t own a black suit for this black tie event and I’m hoping I can find one in the next two hours. If not I’m rocking sneakers, jeans and an “Ask Me About Fashion Indie” t-shirt. Looking forward to Madonna, but I’m more impressed that FASHION INDIE IS THE ONLY NEW YORK BLOG INVITED!!! Love you, love you, love you GUCCI!!!

That’s all for now, gotta meet Rebecca Alexander at Maria Cornejo.
