LOOKBOOK: Telfar S/S 2010 fashion

I loved the Telfar show this Fashion Week, and now that I’m seeing the looks photographed professionally, and not on the runway, I like them that much more. The collection uses no clasps, no zippers and no buttons, it’s 100% recyclable, and 100% organic. So cool!

Simon Doonan’s Five Tips To Surviving Fashion Week!

Simon Doonans Five Tips To Surviving Fashion Week! fashion

SIMON’S TIPS:

Tip Number 1: Wearing insane makeup, crazy garish accessories, and demented outfits to fashion week is a really horrible idea… unless you want to get your picture taken continuously and have a wild and fabulous time.

Tip Number 2: Think you might have what it takes to be a supermodel?  There’s only one way to find out: hop on the runway for the finale and start working all your angles!

Tip Number 3: Hated the show but not sure what to say?  Simply barge backstage, air kiss the designer and shout, “You’ve done it again!”  It works either way.

Tip Number 4: Bring buckets of food.  If they eat hot dogs at football games there’s no reason why you cannot scarf down a tuna-melt at a fashion show.

Tip Number 5: If you are enjoying the music at a show feel free to sing along loudly…and bust a move.

Also, be sure to check the amazing window displays at W Hotel in Union Square location that Simon Doonan designed himself! I know this seems a bit overwhelming, but W guests in cities where there are Barneys locations will receive exclusive perks! Complimentary bellinis and discounts will be given when they shop at Barneys New York and Barneys Co Op stores through October.

For more on all the amazing deals check out the W Hotel website!

VIDEO: Odyn Vovk Spring 2010 Collection

Picture 1

Literally the best show I have ever been to! Odyn Vovk held a super Gothic, super cool show at NYC’s St. Marks Church last night and boy am I glad I was invited. The collection is very goth metal, and the heavy guitar riffing music helped to create the perfect badass runway show. The show has inspired me to go back to my high school days when I was really into heavy metal and rock and roll (still am but I was obsessed then), but only this time much more chic and high fashion.

PS I think it is quite obvious that black is also the color for Spring too, no signs of color here.

Thanks to Flip for the amazing camera. Be sure to check out the Flip website to grab your own camera.

OUT WITH AARON K: Nutty-Acting

OUT WITH AARON K: Nutty Acting fashion

I’m always surprised at how busy and nutty-acting everyone gets during Fashion Week prep. Everyone is in a huff. I’ve seen a lot of models in Soho, they’re almost all in huffs. Except for the “It” models, you know like Ash and Jethro. I bet they’re never in anything like a huff, they’re only in magazines. Is Cole Mohr still “It”?

OUT WITH AARON K: Nutty Acting fashion

Anyway, I got invited to the model casting for Duckie Brown. It made me feel a little special, but whenever I told anyone they sort of laughed. Everyone thought I was trying out to be a model, I wasn’t. Duckie wanted me there to cast models, and pretend to DJ. I really like pretending.

It was self-defeating though. The casting, I mean.  I was the short, pasty, black-clad kid with grandma glasses and bad hair. Everyone around me was 6 foot tall, healthy, fit, and beautiful. It was awful, and amazing. Amazing because they were changing and naked and trying on great clothes.

OUT WITH AARON K: Nutty Acting fashion

Two boys I party with came on a go-see. Is that an official term? Go-see? Or did Tyra make that up for America’s Next Top Model? But, right, Jace and Harvey came on a go-see. It was nice seeing them out and about during the day. And I think both of them were cast, because they have amazing walks and are so handsome.

OUT WITH AARON K: Nutty Acting fashion

Oh. Did anyone see that Craiglist missed connection from Tuesday? A friend posted it to my Facebook. I think someone I know, a boy, gave a man a blowjob at the Box while his girlfriend watched. It all happened on the balcony, I mean, I must have been a few feet away. Was it you? Tell me the truth. I need the scoop.

I think it’s a good nightlife when things like this can still happen. It reminds me of Studio 54.

OUT WITH AARON K: Nutty Acting fashion

It’s so sad that the Ruff Club is ending. I don’t know what else to say. It’s the end of an era, or something. There’s a rumor that Peaches Geldof and Jethro Cave will be there. That they’re going to DJ. I love Nick Cave, and his son Jethro is amazing. I didn’t know that Peaches is still around. Can I have her job? What is her job?

OUT WITH AARON K: Nutty Acting fashion

P.S.

I forgot to mention I met Christopher Sauve and Julia Frakes yesterday while creeping Soho with Alex. Chris was the nicest, like so pleasant. Julia was a button, but I kind of think I squeezed her hand too hard. Alex thought her pants were a great Beacon’s find, but of course they were Erin Wasson. Nicollette said Julia was a downtown luminary.

OUT WITH AARON K: Nutty Acting fashion

I guess she must be if she’s curating a collection at Screaming Mimi’s for Fashion’s Night Out. I’m jealous, wish I was curating a collection.

Did you know that even the Disney Channel changes its New York programming before and during Fashion Week? I told you, nutty-acting. Everyone.

Robert Geller: Fall 2009 Collection

Robert Geller: Fall 2009 Collection fashion

Oh man Robery Geller, it took me so long to get the images of your amazing Fall 2009 collection out of my head after attending your Fashion Week show in February, and these photos are reigniting the flame. The collection was brilliant, and while men’s shows aren’t in abundance during Fashion Week, this collection still put on the best show for me. I’ll let the images speak for themseleves though. This is what GQ’s designer of the year provided for us fellows for Fall.

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Rodarte Fall 2009

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Rodarte Fall 2009 fashion

Rodarte’s intricately styled Fall 2009 collection featured a sophisticated mix of greys and metallics.

Known for their impeccable hand-crafted style the girls did not disapoint this season as the art inspired pieces flowed down the runway, each more intricate than the last. The whole show was like a moving black and white photograph with textural complexity derived from its croc & aligator inspired prints and crystal netting used throughout the show. Grey was the central focus of the show  and it lived up to its full potential in elegant draping and ultra-feminine cuts. Metallic greens also provided accent throughout the show and the effect was tremendous juxtaposed against several industrial black pieces. Finishing off every look were exaggerated over the knee boots that artfully snaked up each model’s legs…

…If we were a curator at the MoMA we’d give the Rodarte girls their own wing.

Barbie Destroys Little Girls Fashion Week Dreams

Barbie Destroys Little Girls Fashion Week Dreams fashion

February 15th, 2009 brought the first ever Barbie runway show to New York Fashion week as a tribute to the classic toy’s 50th anniversary.

The show brought fashion regulars, media reps, photogs, and reporters but it also brought Barbie lover’s from across the country. Former and current Barbie collectors milled together ranging in ages from the very young to the very young at heart.

Apparently the invitations mailed out by Barbie reps encouraged the invited to bring along their daughters and nieces to the event. While this concept is a nice sentiment perhaps they forgot the limitations of space that is so frequently and issue at Bryant Park. While it may be one thing to turn away hoards of twenty-somethings clamoring for standing room at the William Rast show, it is quite another to deny an optimistic 6 year old access to that hot pink runway. If I were one of the parents encouraged to bring along my little girl only to have the doors slammed in her face once she got their I would have been rip-roaring mad. Way to be a dream-crusher Barbie.

Bill Cunningham of NY Times Makes Us Look Forward to Our Eighties

Bill Cunningham of NY Times Makes Us Look Forward to Our Eighties fashion
Watching Bill Cunningham, shown here outside VPL during F/W ‘09 New York Fashion Week, is even more exciting than a fashion show. The man is a fire ball, running down the street with more energy that photographers 1/3 his age.

Even in the Bryant Park tents, he’s often sitting a stair rather than an assigned seat or doing anything possible to get a unique frame. While posing for this shot, we can still see his eyes are darting around, trying to find the next subject. Photo by Paul O’Valle.

Thanks to NEXT member Michael Cohen for this awesome angle on Fashion Week.

Fashion Week Flash Back: Natasha Poly For Diesel Black Gold

Fashion Week Flash Back: Natasha Poly For Diesel Black Gold fashion

Buzz kill central right here! I’ll be the first to admit that I am getting pretty damn excited for New York Fashion Week to kick off this upcoming weekend, but when I saw these images over at Fashin Fags, I remembered how damn stressful and not so awesome it can become sometimes. I wasn’t too familiar with this story from last year’s Diesel Black Gold show, but it’s worth bringing up again. Check out these images of Natasha Poly breaking out in tears after she showed up just minutes before the start of the show. She had all the hair and makeup artists working on her as she broke into tears after Renzo Russo reamed her out for being late.

Renzo Russo to Natasha - ”I checked – you didn’t even have a show before ours!! how could you?!!, don’t even talk to me, get ready!!”

Time To Gear Up For Valentines Day

Time To Gear Up For Valentines Day fashion

Look familiar? I featured some gear and collections from my favorite Australian brand Love Thy Neighbour in the past, and with Valentines Day right around the corner who’s more deserving of a little love than your neighbour? I was lucky enough to get my hands on both these and another awesome pair of Love Thy kicks, and they are awesome! I’m a bit scared to wear them out in this shitty weather, but I want to make everyone on the streets jealous. Keep an eye out for me skipping around the Bryant Park tents next week in these bad boys.

PS. I’m going to get some new pics up as soon as my friend can get over here and snap some photos of me being awesome in my shoes (I’m pretty awesome without my shoes too, but I have to admit they help).

Want to be just like me and get a pair or ten for yourself or your significant other for Valentine’s Day? Check out the Love Thy Neighbour online store.
