It’s tall enough to fit a 17-inch laptop for those big screened biddies. It is vertically integrated into your needs and takes it all up and down. Plus, the front expand-o-zip is ideal for tossing in extra shoes/gym clothes. You clearly won’t be carrying another bag with you.

Carry it in your hands like the businessmen of yore. Then dramatically swing and slam it onto a table and eloquently state your case. (jut be careful of your laptop!)

Phillip Lim, Pashi Satchel @ SSENSE $950

See the ultra-cool video at TheCorner.com.

Jackets go ablaze when electric hues brighten up the scene. Proenza Schouler, Jil Sander and Phillip Lim have not gone back to black, and how refreshing!

This outfit is inspired by a look that walked down the Dolce & Gabbana Mens Fall 2011 runway.

This look is super versatile. It can be taken from day to night with ease and trancends many scenes.

Despite a solid showing from the monochrome palette, orange stole the spotlight this year. Bottega Veneta, Phillip Lim and Dianne von Furstenberg were just a few who made a statement with solid, orange pieces in their collections. And orange you glad they did? I, for one, can’t wait to add this pop of color to my wardrobe!

With a new color palette came a more “sporty,” laid-back group of collections. Many collections featured swimwear for the first time this year, and Michael Kors, Herve Ledger, Donna Karan, and McQ took the swimwear analogy one step further. That’s right, dear readers, we’re talking about “scuba-influenced silhouettes” (Style.com).  Take a look at these neon delights and tell us what you think.

Top left: Michael Kors, Bottom left: Donna Karan, Right: McQ

Notable themes on the runway were represented by Max Azria (“a city-inspired undercurrent with a feminine ease”) and Dianne von Furstenberg (a collection of “matchy/clashy prints”). This year there was a general trend towards more urban, jet-setter style in the collections.

Marc by Marc Jacobs and Missoni both included the “emerging must-have” that is the pajama suit in their collections.  This colorful, loose pant was represented in more subdued tones in numerous other collections, and retained its characteristic exaggerated length in all. Petite girls everywhere, ready your platforms!

On the other side of the pant spectrum, above-the-ankle, straight-leg cigarette pants were also popular with the likes of Helmut Lang, Monique Lhuillier and Elie Tahari featuring them in their collections. I’d like one in every color, please.

Of course, to my delight, leather separates were also popular with quite a few designers this year, including Derek Lam, Thakoon and Jason Wu, who featured leather skirts, shorts, and pants. Calvin Klein and others were also fans of thin leather belts, sending a clear message: when in doubt – belt it!

Top left: Helmut Lang, Top right: Derek Lam, Bottom left: YSL, Bottom right: Thakoon

Perhaps to balance this blast of color and print (and leather, oh my!), the resort collections were significantly more buttoned up this year – and I mean that literally. The runway was up to its proverbial neck in collared shirts and high necklines this season.

Top left: Jason Wu, Top right: Monique Lhuillier, Bottom left: Marc Jacobs, Bottom right: Carolina Hererra

In particular, the boat neck was an popular look for both separates and dresses, with Jason Wu, Louis Vuitton, Max Azria and a plethora of other designers featuring the look.

Outerwear took on a boxy silhouette, and squared-off coats were popular with Louis Vuitton, Rachel Roy and others. Oscar de la Renta fittingly featured the silhouette in his Cubism-inspired collection.

Honorable mentions go out to A-line skirts (Jason Wu, Louis Vuitton) and lace (Monique Lhuillier), both trends popping up here and there on the runway this year – always good staples to have in your closet.

WHAT: Gap sequin jacket

WHY: At this price, do you really need a reason? This glittery little baby works with jeans and skirts and tights and…you get it, it’s versatile. It’s not quite in stores yet (but it arrives on December 13), but since when has it ever been too early to start obsessing about fashion deliveries?

AVAILABLE: $128, gap.com

WHAT: Edward Bess Lip Wardrobe

WHY: Because we’re always losing our favorite colors—which is a perfect excuse to try new ones! So quit worrying, because this ultimate collection of seductive shades will last you through 2011 (and beyond!). Ranging barely-there nudes to deep reds in high gloss, you can find anything to create a perfect pout.

AVAILABLE: $400, bergdorfgoodman.com

WHAT: Chrome Hearts cashmere Scarf

WHY: Because there’s a reason why Karl Lagerfeld, Lenny Kravitz and Rick Owens can’t get enough of this stuff. This seasonless scarf is equal parts goth and luxury, and it promises to work with any old coat or jacket.

AVAILABLE: $1,035, colette.fr

WHAT: NARS Bento Box

WHY: Get geisha-ifed with NARS’ limited-edition set containing two Kabuki cups, hand-poured with two dramatic shades: a red deemed Maiko (“dancing girl/apprentice geisha”) and a pink Sakura (“cherry blossom”). Housed in an exquisite box, you might feel bad using them but founder and creative director Françios Nars thinks otherwise! ”You should use beautiful things, show them off and not hide them,” he explains. “The box and the cups are the keepsake items.”

PRICE: $125

AVAILABLE: NARS

WHAT: 3.1 Phillip Lim Bande Derby

WHY: Why should flats be anything less than luxe? These 3.1 Phillip Lim derbies come in a perfect shade of pale emerald green with a brogue-style toe, but our favorite part might just be the heel, capped in black faux-croc. Don’t they always say it’s the little things in life that bring the most joy?

PRICE: $425

AVAILABLE: Bergdorf Goodman, NYC, BergdorfGoodman.com

Be Jeweled

WHAT: Dolce & Gabbana Lip Jewels lip palette

WHY: The temperatures are cooling, your Starbucks cups have snowflakes on them, the department store holiday windows are looming. We hate to say it, loves, but the holidays are coming (usually we try to wait until after Thanksgiving to acknowledge this). But if you want to get a head start on your shopping, what better gift could there be than this pretty little lip palette by Dolce & Gabbana? Four festive lip shades, packed in a little jewel of a case…we won’t judge if you want to keep one for yourself, too.

PRICE: $60

AVAILABLE: www.saks.com, late November

WHAT: Young&ng antique gold hair comb

WHY: Your jewelry drawers are overflowing, but what about your hair accessories? Whether you’re past the days of barettes et bows or not, this comb by designer Michelle Ng is a lovely little addition to your coif that will hold back those flyaways and double as jewelry in a pinch. Low-maintenance and high fashion? Merci!

PRICE: $330

AVAILABLE: www.youngandng.com

WHAT: Anita Ko 14 karat rose gold Spike Stud earrings

WHY: Sometimes it’s tough to tread that line between ladylike fashion and the rock star ensembles we all know and love (right, Christophe Decarnin?). But sometimes it’s easy—like in the case of these Anita Ko studs. Sure, the spikes are anything but saccharine, but the dainty size and pretty rose gold sweetens them up just enough. If only all our wardrobes were this accommodating!

PRICE: $300

AVAILABLE: www.net-a-porter.com

WHAT: Gucci leather sunglasses

WHY: You have your leather shoes, leather bag, leather jacket, leather leggings—why not have sunnies in the same luxe stuff? Gucci has stepped in to fill the void with these new ’70s-ish shades, with the frames covered in a thin layer of yes, leather. They come in black and two shades of brown, but we’re partial to the slightly off-beat navy pair. The best part? Like all other in cuir, these will only get better with wear.

PRICE: $495

AVAILABLE: Solstice Sunglasses Boutique, in November

are Carrie and the girls no longer trendy?….

Yes they were dressed in over-the-top designer duds but is that even cool anymore? In the ten + years since the show has gone off the air, we’ve seen the rise of Alexander Wang, Phillip Lim, American Apparel, “it” girls like Erin Wasson and Agyness, and stars like Alison Mosshart and MIA. At this point Carrie running around in a turban and Samantha in a red dress with spiked shoulders just looks circus costumes gone wrong. Their ensembles were so over-the-top I felt like I was watching rejects from the gay pride parade. Or the Meatpacking District. When the show first aired it was a revolution. It was a revolution for fashion, feminism, and the city of New York itself. But while the rest of us have moved on, Carrie and the girls are stuck on their own fabulousness (you too Madonna). Ladies it’s a wrap.

3.1 Phillip Lim previews a selection of footwear for Fall/Winter 2010. Designs take on a hybrid approach with a number of sneaker silos and animal prints combined with elements of more traditional shoes. Not bad, but we’d say 3.1 Phillip Lim still has a ways to go to before they’re up to par with some of the more successful high-fashion footwear takes.

NARS Cosmetics created the makeup look at the 3.1 phillip lim Men’s AW2010 show. For the inspiration, Phillip Lim wanted to bring wild into the city: “I wanted the makeup to have a sense of moving forward. The phillip lim man is sure of himself and never looks back,” said the designer.

The Look created: “The look is elegant and modern” said Itsuki about the look. “The skin is very clean, the brows are handsomely defined and the eyes have a very light definition.”

“High heels were invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead.”
-Christopher Morley

It has been a very good couple of years as far as shoe design goes…and it just keeps getting better. In the past few years shoe designers have taken shoe design to new heights, they have made it a bona fide artform. Kirkwood, Louboutin, Dior, Chanel,Camilla Skovgaard, the list is endless. I could go on and on… However I will limit it to 2 collections that I am overly impressed with today…

Casadei, the Italian luxury footwear brand has named it’s Fall 09 collection “The Red Carpet Collection” and it’s so very appropriate. If any shoe was born for the red carpet, it is any one of the shoes in this decadent and sexy collection. The colors, fabric, studded heels, pleats, buckles, and feminine details of these shoes are simply classically stunning.

Casadei Fall 09:

Suggested Lip Color:
Stila Silk Shimmer Gloss in Kitten

Now for the 2nd collection…

The 2nd collection that has left Glamour Whore speechless (Thank God I can still type;) is actually a collaboration. 3.1 Philip Lim and Christian Louboutin teamed up for The Spring/Summer 2010 3.1 Philip Lim collection. The result? Omg…omg…omg…omg…OMFG. Get what I’m trying to say? See for yourself…

3.1 Philip Lim Spring/Summer 2010

Suggested Lip Color:
Chanel Luminous Satin Lip Lacquer in Coromandel

Ok, so I know I said I was only going to write about 2 collections…I lied. I’m sorry, it’s a terrible thing…lying. But….I’m a shoe junkie. My name is Glamour Whore and I’m a shoe junkie. I need a 12 step program. Actually, no I don’t I like being addicted….

Anyway, collection # 3 that has me dreaming about spikey stilettos is…

Kirkwood for Rodarte Spring/Summer 2010. (1 of my favorite shoe designers AND one of my favorite couture designers…together…*sigh*)

Suggested Lipstick:
MAC Black Knight…of course.

American Express held a private viewing of Phillip Lim’s collection for premium card holders. Andre Leon Talley was the host and the show would just be a quick repeat of his real show, held earlier in the week. Everyone was set to go.

A few more minutes go by and the crowd now looks to the sidelines. Sitting front row, an intern, who decided a breakfast of champaign and foie gras was enough to keep her stomach at bay. Alas, she fails and as the model goes down her latest meal comes up. A vomitous homage of greens and yellows. Was it political commentary on the state of anorexia amongst the fashion set? Or was it more a sign that someone needs to be watching the prepubescents when free glasses of cheap bathroom cleanser are being passed around?

I’m going with later, cause shit like this doesn’t happen at LVMH events. Best part of course was when the intern decided it was better to sit in her spit up, than loose her front row seat. That’s true dedication my friends, true dedication. Give this girl a medal. (or my contact information, we need gems like her at Fashion Indie).

So what’s the cause of this massive fashion disaster. My guess is the seven day skunk of Andre Leon Tally.  Whatever’s going on under those moo-moo’s he’s been draping around can’t be pretty. Boy needs to get back to the tennis courts pronto. Miss Anna don’t need no two seat taking, eyesore ruining her chances of keeping Vogue afloat. It’s fashion Andre, not FATshion.

On that note, goodnight New York Fashion Week. You came in with a bang and went out with a spittle.

With her simple hairstyle, fresh makeup, low-key accessories she doesn’t overdo it, allowing this uniqely designed dress be the focal point.

I for one, am glad to see the jumpsuit making yet another comeback.

They are easy to wear and most are very comfortable. I personally favor the ones that are loose, as they are very flattering to the figure. I love the “long and lean” look, as most accentuate the legs making them appear long whether you have long legs or not. The more “tailored” looks from Ralph Lauren and Yves St. Laurent are perfect to go from day to night with a change of shoes and accessories. In my book they are a definite “fashion do”. Here are just a few of my favorites.

R.J. Cutler’s documentary on Anna Wintour and her mad dash to produce the September 2007 issue of Vogue hits Sundance this week. It’s instant nostalgia for the good days of fashion.

“My observation with the creativity in the hallways and offices is that Vogue is like the mist. You don’t think it’s raining and all of a sudden you’re soaking wet,” says Cutler on his experiences.

Designers set to have a major role in the documentary include Thakoon Panichgul, Oscar de la Renta, Patrick Demarchelier, Karl Lagerfeld, Nicolas Ghesquière, Jean Paul Gaultier, Stefano Pilati, Phillip Lim and Isabel Toledo, among others.
