I have to admit; I was a bit saddened when some of my favorite collections and designers—such as Marc by Marc Jacobs and even Diane Von Furstenberg—showed pieces for Spring 2010 with heavy 80’s flash-back incorporated into them. I’ve never been a big fan of that era, so seeing shoulder pads being accepted as fashionable once again will take some getting used to.

Patterns you’ve really only seen in reruns of The Cosby Show have suddenly thrown themselves back into major fashion again, along with a kaleidoscope of colors. Beyonce even sported a dress at the MTV Video Music Awards that looked all too much like a dress Joan Collins once wore on the show Dynasty.
So, find your crimper and big, floppy bow and get ready to look like you stepped out of a classic John Hughes movie this upcoming spring.

In case you live under a rock and haven’t heard about Kanye West turning super-douche and interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs last night, here’s the video:
And here’s Kanye’s hilarious, poorly-written apology that has apparently been taken down already:
Although most of the fashion peeps we love have yet to respond (maybe they were just too busy at Fashion Week parties, or sleeping up for the next day), as have Taylor and Beyonce, here are some responses from music, entertainment, and fashion people that have tweeted what they thought of this escapade:
1. Katy Perry, Singer
2. Perez Hilton, Celebrity Blogger
3. Joel Madden, Good Charlotte
4. Pink, Singer
5. Ryan Seacrest, On Air/American Idol
6. Dane Cook,Comedian (love this one)
7. Jimmy Fallon, SNL Host (another personal favorite)
8. Audrey Kitching, Model
9. Jeremy Fall, Editor-in-Chief of Cliche Magazine
10. Texts From Last Night, might not be an industry person, but this sure is funny.
11. Bonus: Corey…I think he might be right?
LOL: Kanye Apologizes For Being A (Drunk) Douche

I think I’ve given this asshole enough press for the rest of his life..but this was just too funny. A lesson to all: Don’t drink at events if you’re the kind of person that already makes an ass out of yourself.
If Kanye wrote for Fashion Indie, he’d have one hell of a ‘Last Night’s Party’: Last night I drank a bottle of Hennessy, went on stage on live television and interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech to tell the world that I think Beyonce makes good videos..and show off my etched hair, what do you guys think? Good thing Beyonce had my back in this one, she totally redeemed it for me after everyone was booing me by letting Taylor finish the speech..what can I say, I knew Beyonce was going to win Video Of The Year..they should’ve been cheering at me for being psychic!
What do you guys thing..is Kanye West just an idiot, or was this a publicity stunt?

Kelly Clarkson had a thing or two to say of Kanye West’s episode at the MTV VMAs last night. She wrote on her blog:
Dear Kanye,
What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough??… I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty sh*tty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??…
On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

Big Surprise Kanye Acts Like A Jackass

Kanye strikes again, and as much as I hate him he is a bit smart.
We’ll start with what he did. Taylor Swift won an award at the VMA’s for best video. As she was giving her speech, Kanye jumped on stage, took the mic from the poor girl, and proceeded to say that it was terrible that Taylor won the award and that Beyonce had the best video of the year.
I’ll start off by saying thank you Kanye for letting us all know what you think, now if you could kindly sit down and shut your mouth that would be great. I will say however, with Kanye not being in the spotlight too much lately this really helps. He’s already a trending topic on Twitter, and you know he’ll be all over every gossip site in minutes.

I headed over to the last Jelly Pool Party of the summer yesterday with Alyssa and Jamie from Love Brigade to see friends play dodgeball, and watch Grizzly Bear. I had heard of Grizzly Bear, but I had never seen them. I was pleasantly surprised by their live show, and I think Mischa Barton, Solange Knowles (or is that Beyonce?), and Jay-Z all were too. The lines were crazy long, and people were trying to jump the fences (one girl ate shit and fell flat on her face), but overall, everyone seemed to be in to the beautiful weather and awesome music. Check out Grizzly Bear on their site, and see photo evidence of the whole day (and after party) by Nicky Digital. Sundays are fundays!

THE INNER-VIEWS OF MUSIC: Passion Pit

We sat down with Jeff, Ayad, and Ian of Passion Pit to rattle off a few questions before their set, and found out everything you really wanted to know:
Fashion Indie: So rumor has it you guys are sponsored by Marc Jacobs?
Passion Pit (looking shocked): No, we’d like to be sponsored by some dorky stuff (Ayad).
Manager- Marc Jacobs may be sending them some free stuff.
Ian- Usually what happens is that we endorse something, and then we get free stuff, like instruments.
Fashion Indie: Who is the most fashion-conscious member of your band?
PP: (Disagreement) Ian thinks he’s the most fashionable but Jeff and Ayad agree that it’s Mike. Mike took a fashion class, which is where the name Passion Pit originated from. Fashion Indie agrees that it is most likely Mike.
FI: Cobra Starship did a collaboration with Leighton Meester (who we actually had to explain to the guys that she was from Gossip Girl, they had no idea who she was). If you could do a collaboration with a celebrity, who would it be?
PP: Beyonce.
Jeff- No Solange.
Manager- …you probably could do that.
Ayad- We should stick with the original.
Jeff- Yeah, we might as well reach for the sky.
FI: Have you guys seen the movie Bruno? (No, not yet). If he were to style your next photo shoot, would it be the full velcro suit? Or the kilt with angel wings from the MTV VMAs?
PP: Neither, the banana hammock
FI: If you were to do a collaboration product or line with Diesel, what would it be?
PP (after some muttering, something about not liking the pricing too much, I think):
Ayad- I’d do more stuff for broad shouldered, shorter guys. (Clearly making reference to his stature).
FI: Alright, last question; who had better style as a TV father figure, Mike Brady or Bill Cosby?
PP (In up-roaring agreement): Bill Cosby, he had a bad ass sweater collection.
Passion Pit put on a killer performance. Corey is uploading videos to the Fashion Indie Youtube channel as I type! Check out more photos from their performance on Cult

I love when celebs wear white, it seems so elegant, plus since we never really get to see their wedding photos, it’s a good indicator of what they might have looked like on their wedding day. In Beyonce’s case, I am more interested in the black and white shoes she’s rocking. Anyone know the designer? Love love love!
UPDATE: Just got a press release with the name of the designer, Toni Maticevski!

No doubt about it, Angie is the world’s most beautiful woman, in my opion. Apparetnly, I share that opinion with 58% of women…
Vanity Fair has named their most beautiful women of the year, stating: “Of the billions of women on this planet, only 19, we believe, could start wars, these modern-day Helens of Troy come from both hemispheres and include legends and ingenues, a Queen (Rania of Jordan) and a first Lady (Carla Bruni of France), and at least two bedmates of Leonardo DiCaprio (Bundchen and Bar Refaeli).

The Olsen twins’ line, Elizabeth & James, is doing quite well, from a celebrity following to big name retailers.
The Olsens have attracted big name celebs such as Heidi Klum, Beyonce and Rihanna, all spotted wearing button-ups from the line.
Both Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and Kitson in Los Angeles have reported phenomenal sales for the twins’ rags, with the senior VP fashion director at Neiman Marcus calling the line a “bright spot” in dismal season for sales!
Ashley and Mary-Kate are now in talks with footwear giant Steve Madden to design a shoe line as well as a menswear line planned for the fall.
Elizabeth and James’ lowest priced item is a one-shoulder cotton tank for $95, with a leather jacket going for $775 and dresses ranging from $225-$475!!!

Thierry Mugler Releases Sketches for Beyonce Tour

Beyonce was so taken by Thierry Mugler’s designs for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Superheroes exhibition, that she hired him on as the creative adviser for her world tour. Images of his designs have been released and they are amazing.
Mugler explained to WWD, “Sasha Fierce is another aspect of Beyonce’s personality. She is Fierce on stage and Beyonce in real life. I tried to understand these two sides with my own perception of both aspects. The duality between being a woman and a warrior.”
Mugler also worked on lighting and sets for the tour in which we should expect to see the singer “metamorphosis” on stage.
