The Robe: Andre Leon Talley’s Favorite Garment

The Fashion Web — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 02:57:31 +0000

Call it what you will: a cape, a robe, a muumuu, a daishiki. But no matter how you refer to the fabulous silken garments favored by Vogue contributing editor Andre Leon Talley, one thing is for sure — he looks damn good in them. So good, in fact, that every time we see him wearing one, we have a stylegasm. Below, a few of our favorites from over the years.

Thowing up the tents in Bryant Park!

Rocking out the Ports 1961 invitation scarf and showing off some of the Fashion Week invites. Be jealous.

If you were in Brooklyn Heights today and heard techno beats blaring, it was most likely coming from the Fashion Indie office. With Fashion Week only three days away, we can hardly contain our excitement! Although many of you won’t be able to join us at the tents, you can look forward to the Fashion Indie crew bringing the tents to you! Prepare to mark Fashion Indie as your homepage, because Friday marks a week of extensive Fashion Week coverage. From runway rundowns to event reviews and moments of style to celebrity run-ins, Fashion Indie is brining everything Fall/Winter 2009 to a computer near you! We don’t mean to rub it in, but here are just a few of the shows we will be attending: William Rast, Charlotte Ronson, Vivienne Tam, Venexiana, Ports 1961, Nicole Miller, Rad Hourani, Jillian Lewis, Ilana Sunderland, Laura Dawson and Barbara Tfank. In addition to the shows we received invites to, expect immediate coverage from all of your mainstream and indie designers!

So, How Did Wintour Do?

British soul singer Adele play her part and snagged the Grammy award for best new artist. So, how did Anna Wintour do styling her? Adele walked the red carpet in a custom made Barbara Tfank flared dress and a satin green jacket with tuxedoed Hamish Bowles. Wait…are we sure Wintour styled with Adele in mind or her own personal fashion taste? This looks exactly like something Wintour would wear! Either way, I think the whole look is a bit matronly. The jacket isn’t exactly flattering and the black/green color combo makes me wonder why Adele is on the red carpet and not the Broadway stage of Wicked. Well Wintour, you tried…and failed. Moral of the story: never try.
