Tits on the Runway

Edited by

Vogues Paris and Italia have been no strangers to them, historically. American Vogue avoids them completely. Purple Mag masterfully exploits them. And New York Fashion Week is busting at the seams with them. We’re talking about boobs. Once relegated to the awkward nip slip, now the tits forward march dominates catwalk, and we love the sheer audacity. These are looks that may remind your man how sexy you can look in that see-thru floor length Yigal Azrouël, if only he buys it for you. Share your desire to replicate these runway looks at home alone with him, then layer into them when you step out in the big bad sadly non-nudist world. Because while you can’t see tits on the radio, you can see them on the runway. Happy Valentine’s Day.

INTERVIEW: Creative Director Stefan Campbell Makes Magic at Michael Bastian

Edited by

At 11 A.M. today, Exit Art was bustling with t-shirt-flannel-n-jeans guys with ladders, gold paint, real leaved branches and tree trunks sitting apart, and two Swarovski crystal chandeliers hanging from a rolling rack. This team of set builders were being kindly and meticulously directed by Stefan Campbell, the man responsible for translating Michael Bastian‘s collection into a three dimensional space that garners an emotional reaction from the audience before the clothes hit the runway.  Earlier this week, he removed the front row so Chadwick Bell could have a 14 foot-wide glowing fuchsia runway instead of seven. Today, he’ll be scenting Michael Bastian’s show with Aedes. After speaking with Stefan today, we can confirm that he knows the tricks to making a runway show magical. See Stefan Campbell’s secret tips and advice at the end of the interview. And we’ll go see the show now.

#NYFW Hair Trend: The Center Part

Edited by

Whether straight or wavy; slick or tousled; loose, worn up or in a low pony, one thing is for certain: the center part is here in full force for Fall 2012. Bang-less models stormed the New York Fashion Week runways with hair framing the face evenly on either side, a super low-maintence look for the season. Check out our  trend gallery after the jump.

Steven Kolb Does the Work, DVF Takes the Credit, and that’s A OK by the CFDA

Edited by

The workhorse behind the CFDA, C.E.O. Steven Kolb, lingers momentarily on Diane Von Furstenberg‘s runway post-show, making his way from backstage to the front of house. I overheard him tell another journalist, “I do all the work, Diane takes all the credit. It’s established and out in the open.” It’s quite alright with all parties involved; if he didn’t do the lion’s share of the CFDA workload, when would DVF possibly have time to create a collection and run her powerhouse? That said, on the 50th anniversary of the CFDA, there is much excitement abounds with the relocation of CFDA headquarters, so we got a little nosy.

#NYFW Trend Watch: Orange Is Burning

Edited by

Ah, that rich citrus scent wafts smokily through New York Fashion Week as many designers are using burnt orange as a carrying color throughout their collections. With varying tones of vibrance, this hue skews dark, often mixed with maroons and deep aqua greens á la Costello Tagliapietra and Band of Outsiders. In a thousand textures and a million ways, expect to see more orange burning to the ground in Fall 2012.

#NYFW Cheat Sheet: Yigal Azrouël AW 2012

Edited by

Yigal Azrouël‘s fall 2012 show was dedicated to the “unintentional beauty in mystery” refracted through the lens of a woman both “fearless in her outlook and quiet in her confidence.” And that woman might easily have been Evelyn Mulwray – the heroine from Roman Polanski‘s classic 70s film noir Chinatown – portrayed brilliantly by Faye Dunaway. To wit, Azrouël’s collection mixed the mystery of the film noir femme fatale with the luxe glamour of the 70s then threw a giant raccoon hat on top of it all.

Look Inside the Dream Closet of Celebrities, the Best Dressed & Barbie

Edited by

Last night I got to enter the magical world that is Barbie’s Dream Closet. There was an astounding amount of pointed pink pumps and Barbie-worthy models a flight up in their dream houses. We got to play in Barbie’s virtual Dream Closet and dress ourselves by tapping the air to the right and left on the my-size screened Kinect. I took to roving the room in search of the best dressed and the most famous, and asked them what constitues their dream closet.
