Spread’Um: Claudia Schifer in German Vogue

Note to Claudia: Mouse-hide coats are not sexy, they are terrifying and little bit creepy. You’re like the sexy version of the scary cat lady who lives in our building who honestly feels her “friends” are bringing her “presents” when they leave half eaten rat carcasses on her bed.

Runway: Maria Cornejo, Fall 08

Maria Cornejo Extra shined with a collection that expanded on the already widely held notion that this is one designer on the cusp of fashion immortality. In probably her last collection before she goes officially “mainstream” the designer showcased what she does best, modern grasps of symmetry and bold burst of wearable color.

The show was held at the new atelier for Maria in a room that was packed to the walls with a who’s who of hipsterdom. Cory Kennedy was chilling front row. FORM’s Jerry Tam (who recently became a celebrity when indie mag MetroPop got him to grace their covers) discussed his collections direction and his days as an assistant to GAP’s Patrick Robinson.

Piece after piece came down the runway as the crowd was wowed by an abundance of color with dresses in fuscia, cerelion, and blues. The geometric shapes breathed real life into this very wearable collection by one of Fashion Indie’s favorite designers. Also notable where horsehair accessories which added bursts of color and texture to Maria Cornejo Extra’s more traditional black and grey pieces.
