Indies to Watch: Tanya Dziahileva
So, you’ve all probably been wondering who the twiggy, elfish, almost alien like blonde chick taking over runways and editorials everywhere is. Well, ladies and gentlemen, meet Tanya Dziahileva, the 17-year-old Ukrainian and Polish-Belarussian hot commodity.
I actually had the opportunity to meet Ms. D at the International Model and Talent Association in 2006. At that time, she was recently picked up by IMG models and her career was just beginning, a runway show here and an fashion ad there. But now, you can’t even touch the teenage top model. Ms. D has walked in over 100 shows, including the coveted position as opener for Rag & Bone and closer for Miss Sixty. From New York to Paris and Milan, Ms. D has modeled for nearly every top designer. And snagging a spot on the cover of Russian Vogue ain’t half bad for a girl who hasn’t even hit college yet.
She might look like Tinkerbell, but her youthful, edgy look has got designers everywhere craving more, more, more!

Star Light, Star Bright in the Spotlight
If New York Fashion Week didn’t drill the upcoming trends into your head, then a recap with this weekend’s Emmy Awards certainly did! It’s all about being the brightest crayon in the box this season, and what color could be more eye-catching than yellow? Forget the fuchsia, the teal and the lime-green…bring on the mellow (or not so mellow) yellow!
Flirty. Funky. Fun. These stars certainly caught our attention!
Thanks for the photos InStyle, The Envelope and Just Jarred!

Before They Could Afford Good Coke: Taylor Momsen
Before:
After:
Oh Taylor Momsen, you’re always so attractive and cute on Gossip Girl. What happened? You got the fat check from The CW, and you aren’t looking so good. The second image is a shot of Taylor Momsen at Fashion Week, and she looks like she just got back from blowing some fat rails off Karl Lagerfeld’s antique dick with Kate Moss. I guess now that she is a famous celeb who gets from row seats at Fashion Week, she can finally afford to get some coke that is worthy of the nostrils of only the top fashion gods. Keep crowding around the bathroom sink to “powder” your nose, and you could be the next Mischa Barton, and no one wants that.
Thanks Just Jared for these pre-rehab candids

Moments in Fashion Week
Friday began a new season of Fashion Week. New York is bursting with editors, actors, models, stylists, wannabe’s, and Andre J look-a-likes. Here are some quick-hitters from the last couple of days:
Spit-out-that cereal, you’re in the presence of the Zoe. Rachel Zoe wrangled ‘friend’/client Kate Hudson to celebrate her new show ‘The Rachel Zoe Project’ (shudder)
Tyra doing her favorite thing, throwing a party for herself, and her Harper’s Bazaar cover (shudder)
Rihanna rocking the tailored menswear look on the way to rehearsing for the 5th Fashion Rocks concert
Mary Kate handling the hipster side of Fashion Week. Here she is at the Dazed and Confused magazine party

New York Fashion Week: Erin Fetherston Spring/Summer 2009
For New York Fashion Week, Erin Fetherston presented a collection that tapped into the uninhibited spirit of the hippie. Tie-dyed fabrics played a big part in a collection that makes springtime in 2009 look like a pastel playground for the beach fairing feminite.

New York Fashion Week Resolution: Change the Industry
So New York Fashion Week is here and everyone and their stylish, possibly queer, spandex wearing nephew are getting excited about the models, the celebrities, and the swag bags. Honestly though, I’m over it.
Every year it’s the same circus. We all rush to Bryant Park. We all wait in line. We all find our seats. The lights dim and the models hit the runway and we all end up pretty bored sitting in the dark as last years hits come playing over the sound system. It’s a joke really that an industry that’s supposed to be so on the cusp on the newest trend has gotten stuck on one set model for how to present fashion.
It’s ridiculous really. Pencil thin models are boring, especially when they’re pale and dull. Most of the collections are tired, seriously, how many times can you recreate a basic black dress?!? And the after parties are usually pretty blah. Basically, it’s all the same, every season it’s the same thing, and frankly I’m tired of it.
So my New York Fashion Week Resolution is to change the game. To make fashion exciting again. To take it beyond the runways, to present it in a new way, to make people take notice and to give young designers the chance to break free from the silly restraints established by IMG and Vogue. We started seasons ago with fashion show concerts, now we’re hosting shows on the Brooklyn Bridge for millions of people to witness.
The world of fashion is changing so keep it here on fashionindie.com cause we’re sparking the change.
Next, year expect bigger events, more designers, and a fashion week that will trump all others as Fashion Indie Media presents another season of Fashion Indie Week!!!
