London Fashion Week Getting the Proverbial Shaft When It Comes to Models

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Damn you, Marc Jacobs. The acclaimed designer had to move his show at the last minute — damn you, Hurricane Irene — causing a whole gaggle of girls who were supposed to fly to London Fashion Week to miss their flight. Then Gucci — damn you, Frida Giannini — pulled a cattle of catwalkers to Milan for early fittings, leaving London designers strapped for supers. All this negligent behavior and diva antics has some London-based model agencies threatening to boycott next season’s London Fashion Week if the British Fashion Council doesn’t get its shit together.

Dazed & Confused take us behind the scenes of Todd Lynn‘s Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week Show. I love the modernism of this collection. Would die to see this on the street. More photos after the jump.

RUNWAY: Todd Lynn Fall 2010 Womenswear and Menswear

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Todd Lynn’s Fall 2010 collection may very well be PETA’s worst nightmare, but it’s a fur and leather lover’s best friend. Reminiscent of a hunter who wears his kill, Lynn’s collection payed particular attention to shoulders, not only draping gorgeous fox pelts over the shoulders, but adding boxy, leather detailing to coat shoulders. They’re certainly intimidating looks for everyday wear, but the looser, asymmetrical cuts make me slightly more comfortable.

Had no idea what to actually call these, but I feel as though we’ll be seeing a lot of this shoulder very soon. Above look from Todd Lynn S/S 10.

SPREAD UM: “F For Furry” For 10 Magazine May 2009

Edited by Kirby Marzec

PETA might not be a fan of 10 Magazine’s most recent spread, “F For Furry,” but I’m all about the natural cityscape, seemingly amateur spread shot by Marcelo Krasilcic. Model Valeria Dmitrienko is dressed to the nines in immaculate fur pieces from designers Gareth Pugh, Roberto Cavalli, Todd Lynn, Antonio Berardi, Versace and Jean Paul Gaultier. From the looks of the wet, Parisian cobblestone streets, the editorial probably saw a bit of rain (unless it was staged) but heck girl, you better not have rocked those pelts in the rain!
