Serving at the MC2 Model Management Party

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 23:25:59 +0000

Last night Mac, FashionIndie’s leggy office manager Jessy and I stormed MC2 Model Management‘s party at the soon-to-be-open Catch in the Meatpacking District to celebrate iconic model booker Pink‘s birthday. Our beloved mixtape master DJ Chachi was shutting shit down on the turntables so when tennis pros Serena Williams and Andy Roddick asked us to dance, we proceeded to drop it like it was hot and set fire to the dancefloor.

MC2′s gorgeous girls and guys were out in full force for an appearance by Oscar-nominee Mickey Rourke while James Marsden closed the place with Serena and Andy. All in all, twas kind of a rager. Sure, I had to sleep in the FashionIndie office, am basically running on the fumes of 23 vodka sodas and had to run to Lincoln Center this morning wearing the same clothes from yesterday, but it was worth it just to serve a little love to my favorite Williams sister.

British Council of Fashion Designers Play a Love Game at Wimbledon

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 21:39:29 +0000

The 125th annual Wimbledon tournament began yesterday with much hoorah from the fashion world. Just the other night, the women of the Women’s Tennis Association gathered for a pre-competition gala at The Roof Gardens in Kensington and the British Council of Fashion Designers rallied around of the tennis stars. These ladies may look smokin’ in tiny pleated skirts and poly/elastane tanks, but they clean up nice when powered by a council of designers. At least most of them do… See which one aced it, and which ones baselined.

ACE: Caroline Wozniacki – Stella McCartney

The #1 high power fashion-cum-athletic designer Stella McCartney has fittingly taken the #1 player in the WTA as her own; Caroline Wozniacki is the face of Adidas by Stella McCartney. She’s flashing Stella off and on the court and crushing bitches on the grass court.

SIDESPIN: Serena Williams - Burberry

One half of the dominating twins, this side paneled sidespin hugs every solid muscle curve.

LOVE: Ana Ivanovic – Matthew Williamson

Playfully textured, the slight fringe reminds us of the grass courts on which the tournament takes place. Mini-skirts and fast balls…

WILDCARD: Jelena Jankovic – Vivienne Westwood

This dress is a shirred thing. Will a win be in the bag?

FAULT: Heather Watson – Mulberry

How one makes an superbly trim athlete look frumpy is beyond me, but unfortunately Mulberry has done that for Watson. And the shoes look like ace bandages, not a good look for a competing tennis pro.

FLATLINER: Laura Robson – Temperley

She hits it low and steady. None too exciting, except for the shoulders.

LET: Andrea Petkovic – Richard Nicoll

The tennis imagery works in the iridescence, but the fit? The ref is consulting the umpire for a final decision.

BYE: Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova – David Koma

Its tennis themed pleat cuts her off all wrong, and ends up making her look wide. Too much, yet too little.

LOVE LOVE: Maria Sharpova – Alexander McQueen

Stuns, absolutely radiant.

MATCH POINT: Bethanie Mattek-Sands - Alex Noble

Designer to Lady Gaga, Alex Noble created the bodice of this dress out of, you guessed it, tennis balls. Tis possible that only an entity like Mother Monster could pull off such a thing, but don’t get us wrong Bethanie, we admire your balls.

Good little ball boy he is, Nicholas Kirkwood heeled the whole WTA for this night.

Designers gave the gala a big serve, but who won the game point in your book?

A Very Heidi Halloween: Klum’s Top 5 Costumes

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 19:27:45 +0000

Heidi Klum is a girl who loves her some Halloween. Rather than go the de rigueur sexy skank route, La Klum takes her All Hallows Eve seriously. Perhaps too seriously. But then again, if I had 53 kids, I’d be obsessed with the holiday too. Below, let’s take a walk down Memory’s ghoulish lane as we explore Heidi’s best costumes over the years.

QUEST: Who’s Going To Be The Best Dressed Player At The U.S. Open?

Corey Moran — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:43:48 +0000

This week marks the start of the U.S. Open tennis championships in New York City. With a regular cast of fashionable characters in the crowd, such as Anna Wintour, we want to know who you think the most fashionable ON the court? My vote is for Roger Federer due mostly to the fact that Nike hooks him up hard, but those Williams sisters usually bring something good as well.

What do you say indies?

White Hot Wimbledon

Hilary Price — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:16:54 +0000

Wimbledon 2008 was simply thrilling. Although tennis was the main attraction, fashion stole the show. At the summer tournament, white is always the staple. Players abided and contributed to the preppy vibe by sporting cardigans, blazers and totes.

Thankfully Wimbledon’s classy reputation worked symbiotically with new fierce fashion decisions. The world class Wimbledon players tested the conservative waters as they strutted onto the court with their controversial fun fashion choices.

Unfortunately, some of the Wimbledon fashions were not winners

Sheer shirts and tantalizing trenches were motifs seen throughout games.

Wimbledon’s classically cute fashions and players will never go out of style.
