Will There Be a New York Fashion Week?

The big question we should all be asking is whether the costs of fashion week will cause designers to turn away from the tents this year? IMG has just begun sending out their designer packages a sign that we still maybe unsure as to how much the industry is being affected by the current economic situation.

Will fewer designers showcase instead opting for video presentations?

Will less models get hired or will big names be forced to skip their big prices?

Will there be any major afterparties or will just be a blip in the fashion calendar?

To be honest a slimmed down version of fashion week might be the best medicine for and industry that at least locally has lost some of it’s luster.

Fortunately, fashionindie is here to make it all better. Well be hosting a fashion concert this upcoming season featuring some amazing bands and the hottest designers. Keep it clipped to fashionindie.com for all the juicy details.

TrendSpark: The Mummy Look

Martin Margiela

Spring/Summer 2009 brought back King Tut from his tomb and slapped him directly on the runways of . Several designers reincarnated the draping, wrapping and ruching with a modern twist. While this trend is very similar to inspiration from ancient Greek fashion, careful not confuse it…Zeus wouldn’t be caught a day in his immortal life wearing gauzy strips or pleated sleeves. 

I know the thermometers have just dropped and spring seems several snow and ice storms away, but keep the look in the back of your mind until you can “unwrap” it in March! 

 

Thanks JC Report!

Indies to Watch: Kendra Spears

for the Ad Campaign.

in S/S 2009.

Like any sane person, I deleted my account once I realized that I wasted at least four hours each day changing my layout design, took pathetic photos specifically for new defaults and stalked my ex-boyfriend to see who he was macking on that week. Now granted, I’ve been sober for over three years (thanks to Facebook. damnit) but , the new face all over the runways, owes her whole aspiring career to

Say sayonara to the typical college co-ed and hello to the winner of .com contest! So she didn’t win the $100,000 contract with , but who can complain walking for , and in Paris and Milan? Recently the 20 year old Portland State University student has been working on shoots for , Italian and an upcoming ad campaign. 

Anyone else wondering why didn’t wind up in last month? Well, according to bookers, they aren’t too keen on Spears’ lip mole. Well too bad for us here in the States, it looks like European bookers know a pretty face, mole or no mole, when they see one! 

 

Thanks NY Mag!

The Blessed: Kate Lamphear

 

, fashion editor for magazine, was looking pretty fabulous around during . I absolutely love the masculinity she throws in to counter her delicate, feminine aesthetic. The fitted blazers and the basic colors have got Ms. Lamphear looking like ’s twin! And if you ask me, rocks the bleached, edgy cut better than ! If only had this much style…and better hair…

 

Thanks London. Paris. Milan. New York!
