RUNWAY: John Galliano Spring 2010

Kirby Marzec, Managing Editor October 8 at 6:16 | Comments

Inspired by the craziness that is Los Angeles, John Galliano’s Spring 2010 collection was all things symbolic of the City of Angels (although the red lazer lit runway looked more like devil!). As per usual, looks were over the top, clashing, somewhat gaudy and styled to the max- an obvious addition to the Galliano family. As separates, the variety of beige blazers and jackets were staple pieces, acting as a somewhat stable basis for the collection.

UPDATE: We Finally Found Someone To Replace Brad On ‘25 Under 25′

Hillary Frazier, Style Editor August 18 at 3:30 | Comments

Lucas Logan, an 18-year-old It Boy from LA has become the newest member of our ‘25 Under 25 Stylish People To Know.’ You may remember us asking you about ten times to give us suggestions on who to replace Brad Goreski on the list because we found out he is secretly an old man, but no one really listened to us. Finally, a Cult member, Melanie Maverick, came through for us. She introduced us to fashion blogger/model/designer Lucas Logan, a braced-face triangle lover from LA that writes for Stylish Kids In Riot, as well as has his personal blog that talks about his going-ons and includes lots of photos. Apparently he’s going to be doing a runway show with American Apparel this fall, and spends most of his time spray painting, hanging out in the woods, and wearing beanies. We know this kid’s extremely LA, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

The Bashed: Rihanna in High Waisted Leather

Kirby Marzec, Managing Editor October 20 at 3:03 | Comments

Rihanna’s outfit choice for the Justin Timberlake and Friends Concert Tour in Los Angeles on Friday left me a little more silent than speechless. Not only did she look like a rooster bred with a bumble bee, but her high waisted leather pants were absolutely awful. Now don’t get my wrong, I like the high waist but only when it is done tastefully on the right body type. Sorry little miss Princess of Pop, but you look like you’ve got some massive hips and a bun in the oven…not flattering! And we didn’t get a shot of Rihanna from behind, but I’ll bet my bottom dollar that her butt looked terrible in these pants!

Thanks Just Jared!

Runway Review: Jenni Kayne

Lauren Garroni September 6 at 1:20 | Comments

Jenni Kayne presented her collection yesterday, but was absent from the actual show because of the impending birth of her first child. Kayne, who hails from my hometown of Los Angeles, presented a collection that was quintessential L.A. chic. Jenni, who is friends with the Olsens, presented an updated, more polished version of 80/90’s favorites like power suits (minus the shoulder pads) and Ray Bans. She mixed this will L.A. standards like simple floral shift dresses. All and all a perfect collection for the Nicole-Mary-Kate-Mischa-set

The Cobra Snake scored these photos from a recent American Vintage fashion show. The styling of the show was 1950s cowboy meets 1960s doowoop, so basically every look is perfect for Williamsburg. Check out all the photos at Cobrasnake.
