Lifetime’s New ’24 Hour Catwalk’ is Exactly What it Seems

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Designers. Start your collections. Now. I’ll be back in exactly 24 hours, and it had better be good and done. That, my dear, is the premise of Lifetime‘s newest competitive fashion show, 24 Hour Catwalk, hosted by our dear Alexa Chung. In each episode, four designers will create a garment, and two will be eliminated. The two remaining designers will then each create a three-piece collection with the aid of professional and mouthy sewers. At the end of those 24 hours, they present to the judges: design star and collab-addict Cynthia Rowley, PR guru James LaForce (sans Stevens) and the Very Classy fashion editor Derek Blasberg. It premieres Januray 10, 2012. See the sneak preview here.

Blake Lively’s Almost Crotch Shot and Other Chanel Cruise Beauties

Edited by Samantha Lim

Gossip Girl queen and most recently Chanel princess Blake Lively struck a pose in this barely there Chanel skirt (dress?) at the haute couture house’s Cruise collection show last night in Cannes. Although easier than exiting a car door, we wonder what cameras caught a TMI glimpse when she was perched in the front row.  More Chanel sirens and a questionable pic of Lively and Peter Marino after the jump.  

Alexandre Herchcovitch Fall 2011: Violent Forces of Nature

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

With shearling like sheetrock beneath the earth, neon yellow burst through, cracking like fissures in the surface and minerals pose as magnetic closures. Neon flows like lava down mountainous structures, carving new terrain in its path. Unfinished seams display the violent destruction of natural progression, frayed with time and movement. Layers of raw waistline, sewn into a single seam each on top and bottom, brush the rim of a belt that holds nothing but skin. Exposed darts show the innards out, creating structure with explosion. Lace grows out of seams, bringing up life where once was a split. Coats bind the arms with straps along the bicep, restraining movement; but a small sacrifice for such forceful shoulders. Lace sleeves in the last three looks show the stop motion flow of earth-forming destruction.

Don’t Get Caught Swapping Heels for Flats at Fashion Week

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Ladies. There are several virtues of life as women we accept and extol. One of those is getting to be a giantess glamazon in 7 inch platform heels. Another is that it’s a widely known secret that we often change into less towering, more, dare I say, practical (yuck) flats for the walk to and from places like work, etc etc. But snap to! This is Fashion Week. I know you’re going to do it, but don’t you DARE let anyone catch you sneaking the change. I don’t care how twistedly painful your feet get, DO NOT change into flats while you are still in eyeshot of Lincoln Center. Be a lady. Do it in a Starbucks.
