WTF!?!: Narciso Rodriguez Possible eBay Collection
Monique Montagnese, Contributor September 10 at 1:58
Read More:Diffusion Line, ebay, narciso rodriguez
I’m all for lower priced diffusion lines and Target, H+M and Topshop collaborations; I may not be willing to brave the lines and fierce elbowing that it takes to come home with one of these pieces before they sell out but I think they are great for the industry. Taking that into consideration, I should theoretically be %100 behind the idea of this eBay collection. No lines, no pushing, just the simple click of a mouse and the ease of PayPal. Something about this just seems wrong to me, isn’t eBay the internet version of Chinatown? Fake bags everywhere, counterfeit items complete with fake tags and purchasing receipts? Just saying, as a designer this would not be my first go-to collaboration. If you’re thrilled pay attention: the possible eight piece collection would range from $75 to $350. Let the bidding wars begin.

Who Is The Next Fashion Saviour?

People are always looking for the next Donna, the next Ralph, or the next Calvin. (sorry Tommy, we never consider you a fashion designer) but no one ever acknowledge that there may not be a next big fashion business bearing a designer’s name. Consider this: after the big 3, name another designer with his/her business over 1 billion dollars. The answer is: 0. It’s very typical of fashion to prefer the system to remain unchanged.
Let’s look at new york. Marc? His business is tiny comparing to Louis Vuitton. Micheal Kors? Those old Tommy business guys, Lawrence and Silas, brought Kors 6 years ago and proclaimed it will be a billion dollar business. They are stuck at the middle. Our personal favorite: Narciso Rodriguez? Liz Claiborne brought 50% for a mere 10 million, then return it back to the designer late last year. We assume for much less. Then we have those wunderkind kids one after another; remember Zack? What about Jeffery Chow? It’s ok, because now we have the Wangs and the Wus. But would they be like Calvin?
Yes, some designers would claim that they would like to remain small and ‘intimate’. Fine, but you should also know that we are some of the most egotistical creatures. We want fame, money, and sway, in that order. To drive any real influence, one will need to reach the mass (say hi to Issac Mizrahi). To do that, you need cold hard cash. A billion of it.
What companies blew up so big in the part 10 years? Juicy. Sven. Zara. H&M.
Can we see a pattern and the future here?

A Socialite’s Worst Nightmare= No Fashion Week After Parties

Marc Jacobs last Fashion Week Party....so long folks...
Marc Jacobs last Fashion Week Party....so long folks...
If you somehow manage to sneak into Marc Jacobs’ show at the Lexington Avenue Armory next month, don’t expect to be sipping bubbly at his after party. Why? Well, because there isn’t going to be one. The recession just about ransacked the fashion industry these past few months, sending some of our favorite designers home packing, laying off employees, shutting down stores, making the runway lonely and now erasing our reason to celebrate. Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein and Alexander Wang, some of the designers with the most anticipated parties, simply won’t be having them this year. But what about the hundreds of other party savvy designers? If you’re not immediate friends or family of Diane Von Furstenberg, Narciso Rodriguez, or Matthew Williamson, don’t expect to be wined and dined at their parties either. Looks like Giorgio Armani’s flagship store opening is your best bet…good luck getting in.
Thanks NY Mag!

Robert Verdi on Michelle Obama’s Narciso Rodriguez:
“She looked like a lava lamp and we all know that. I didn’t like that light bright dress and I think she could have made a better choice. I like that she wore an American designer, I think she should continue to wear American fashion and speak the style of the nation in her public appearances and then move towards an international flavor.”
Thanks FabSugar
TrendSpark: Eye Gloss

Goodbye lip gloss, hello eye gloss? yeah you read that right I said eye gloss. Style.com reported the new trend that has been hitting the runway all Fashion Week. Eye gloss is more or less just putting Vaseline under the eye to create a shine and draw attention to the eye. I think this is a really cool idea, but a little bit tricky to pull off without looking downright sweaty. The look was seen on Alexander Wang’s, Marc Jacobs’ and Narciso Rodriguez’s runways this year, and apparently has caused quite the stir. Style.com got a chance to talk to Dick Page about the trend:
When asked his opinion on the burgeoning trend, Page did not miss a beat: “You know, you just can’t put much more gloss on your lips. Its like everyone’s been eating pork chops for the last few years. I don’t know how much more gloss the lip can carry, so maybe it’s just migrating north.” The “wet look” is not necessarily, er, easy on the eyes, however, and application can often be problematic. “It’s kind of tricky in the real world because it goes south—it moves, so you can’t put anything else on with it,” Page says, referring to the fact that typically no mascara or plain liner will hold when an eye gloss is involved. But if you can appreciate its pared-down effect, the makeup artist recommends blending a charcoal pencil on the back of the hand with your emollient of choice and applying to lids at will.
Let’s hear it indies, Are you down with the eye gloss? Or are you going to stick with Lil’ Mama and your lip gloss?
