Down the Rabbit Hole with Richie Rich

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Villionaire, Richie Rich‘s Fall 2011 fashion extravaganza — for it was much more than a show — was  a wild romp through Wonderland with a pit stop over in the East Village. Tinsley Mortimer opened, JWOWW closed and somewhere along the way Johnny Weir skated out (figuratively) in what looked like a loincloth. But at the center of this three ring fashion circus were the clothes, a fun, wearable collection heavily inspired by the glamour of the 30s and 40s.

Interview: The Glittery World of Richie Rich

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Though Heatherette is all but ancient history, Richie Rich is still a glam club kid at heart.  Amidst a sea of models – bones and high ponytails from wall to ceiling – I met up with the designer and his design director Angelo Lambrou during a casting call for Richie’s runway show. This will be his second collection for his eponymous label and will be held at the Hammerstein Ballroom on February 10th at 9 pm. Proceeds will go to benefit two causes very close to Richie’s sequined heart: DoSomething.org and Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. We discussed Richie’s fabulous inspirations, his fabulous friends and the first time he met Madonna. Which was, you guessed it, fabulous.

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: G-Star Raw Spring 2010

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Before we get into the fashion details, let’s set the record straight: G-Star Raw knows how to put on a fashion show. G-Star turned the Hammerstein Ballroon into a tubular vessel of white light and blaring bass. The collection, although ridden with some clever denim jumpsuits, jackets and drop-crotch jeans, reminded me of a typical, vintage teacup. Royal blue and white patterns dominated the runway, looking far more docile and innocent than past collections. But G-Star’s industrial aesthetic radiated via their expertise in raw denim, more specifically in a denim patchwork trench and several canvas and buckle vests.
