My NY: Karen Walker's Fave FW Spots

karen-walker-my-ny.jpg


Designer Karen Walker is certainly not a native New Yorker, and we're grateful for that! Based in New Zealand, Walker's far-flung home adds whimsical inspirations to the runway that some disenchanted local designers may lack. Nevertheless, considering the amount of adoration she receives in the City for her sweet, sixties-styled designs, she's definitely no stranger to NYC's hidden treasures. On the morning of her NYFW show, we think it's more than appropriate to get the low-down on Walker's top-spots for some Fashion Week respites. From Austrian art to artichokes, you'll definitely want to check these places out, even if you aren't showing a collection—just remember to rock your Karen Walker sunnies!



Here's 5 places the designer goes to to escape Fashion Week madness:


1. Neue Gallery: "A tiny gallery in a stunning townhouse. The collection is of the early 20th century German and Austrian art and obj´ts d'art with the main salon being home to Klimt's Adele Bloch-Bauer. But, the gallery's smaller treasures are also thrilling."


1048 Fifth Avenue (at East 86th Street); 212-628-6200






2. Raoul's: 'I like trying the newest spots in town, but Raoul's is one of those timeless restaurants in New York that I never tire of. I love Raoul's for its bulging-at-the-seams bar, its intimate booths, and its unforgettable artichoke vinaigrette.'

180 Prince Street(between Sullivan and Thompson streets); 212-966.3518




3. Steven Alan Annex: 'For the well-dressed two-and-a-half-year-old they make kidswear that's effortlessly cool and totally devoid of pink rabbits and blue trains.'

103 Franklin Street (near Church Street); 212-343-0692







4. Soho Grand Hotel: 'We hold our post fashion show drinks there every season. It's a classic.'


310 West Broadway (near Grand Street); 212-965-3000




5. The Andy Warhol Exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum: 'It's a must while I'm in the City for Fashion Week. They are showing a film that Andy did with Diana Vreeland that I need to see.'

200 Eastern Parkway (at Washington Avenue); Brooklyn; 718-638-5000

Triangular Eye Makeup Is Making Moves At Spring 2011 Shows

makeup-trends-2011-eyeshadow-extended-derek-lam.jpg

Eyeshadow is in transit for spring 2011, traveling from the lid to just above the inner corners of the eye and up to the brow—a triangular eye makeup look that highlights the eye in a unique, structured way and creates a 3D effect when viewed on profile. At Kimberly Ovitz, MAC artist Luc Bouchard got extra angular with a graphic black triangle that matched the black and white theme of the collection; at Derek Lam, makeup artist Tom Pecheux for Estee Lauder complemented a coral eye (yes, it's lipstick!) with a white triangle; and at Preen, MAC artist James Kaliardos used a pop of bright, blue pastel and paired it with a taupe shadow on the crease of the lids.

M.A.C Debuts ‘Anti-Princess’ Makeup Line

M.A.C cosmetics and Disney collaborate on a new make-up line.

Cruella De Vil and the Evil Queen are two of the Venomous Villains M.A.C celebrates with its new makeup collection.


We’ve always found the bad guys (and girls) in art and literature to be more intriguing than their Goody-Two-Shoes counterparts. Villains tend to be more psychologically complex than heroes and thus have a certain glamour and appeal about them. (Think: Victoria vs. Bella in the Twilight series.)


Or at least that’s the thinking behind the surprising new collaboration between M.A.C Cosmetics and entertainment giant Disney. Seven years in the making, the Venomous Villains makeup collection takes its inspiration from four of Disney’s nefarious icons: Snow White’s Evil Queen; Sleeping Beauty’s green-faced nemesis Maleficent; One Hundred and One Dalmations‘ Cruella De Vil; and The Princess and the Frog’s Dr. Facilier.


Of course, there’s no green face paint in the palette: The Disney villains and their signature colors served as guiding spirits and each appears on his or her special packaging. “This is very sophisticated makeup; this is not makeup for going out on Halloween,” says M.A.C creative director James Gager. Prices range from a low of $12 for Dr. Facilier’s “I’m So Vain Mirror” compact to a high of $29.50 for the Magically Cool Liquid Powder, also from the mythical voodoo doctor. The collection includes rich, dramatic, pearlescent lip, eye and nail shades as well.


Gager describes the line, which goes on sale Sept. 30, as “empowering.” Adds Jennifer Balbier, M.A.C vice president of product development, “These characters are definitely naughty; they’re not sweet princess types. Even a nice girl may have a naughty side and she might want to step out and try a new look.”


Gager suggests choosing your line by which villain you identify with most closely. We see our soulmate in the Evil Queen. Which one do you prefer?

Tom Ford’s glamorous coup, Turning up the value, Playgrounds as runways, Measuring social content, The Céline factor

Tom Ford by Terry Richardson | Source: Tom Ford


Glamorously, Tom Ford Is Back (NY Times)

“Explaining why he didn’t allow pictures, Mr. Ford said that fashion had become overexposed in recent years… ‘I want fashion to be fun again… You couldn’t wait to get the clothes and put them on, and I think we’ve lost that.’”


Luxury-Goods Firms Turn Up Volume on Value (WSJ)

“Luxury-goods retailers are coming to grips with the reality that ‘aspirational’ shoppers, who blew open the high-end market by stretching their budgets during the boom, aren’t coming back any time soon.”


Turning Playgrounds into Runways (Bloomberg)

“Dressing their kids in designer gear is a guilt-free way for fashion-focused parents to indulge their own penchant for following trends… It makes them feel good.”


Facebook adds ‘social context’ ad metrics (Biz Report)

“Facebook advertisers are being given more insight into the effectiveness of their campaigns. The social network has introduced new metrics focusing on the ‘social context’ of ads.”


New York Fashion Week | The Céline Factor (T Magazine)

“How much of the Céline designer Phoebe Philo’s tailored conceptualism, her hand with stripped-back superhot sportswear, would find its way into American clothes remained to be seen.”

Street Style: Vanessa Bruno’s Daughter Lune, 14 going on 20

Name: Lune (French for Moon)

Age: 14


Occupation: High school student.


What are you wearing? Abercrombie jeans, a coat by Athé by Vanessa Bruno, and a vintage Vanessa Bruno bag and top.


What are you interested in? Fashion of course, but also theater on my dad’s side, art, graphic design. I live in a very visual world and I’m attracted to culture and the arts in general.


Do people ask you about your mother?Yes, all the time. Girls at school try to befriend me when they find out who my mother is. However, this doesn’t change the fact that I’m extremely proud of her, because she’s done it all herself. My grandmother is so proud too–-we were in Los Angeles and we saw an article about my mom in a magazine and she showed the waitress “Look look, that’s my daughter!”


What are your hobbies? I’ve been doing classical and jazz dance for years.


What would you like to do once you finish school: I’d like to work for a cultural magazine, such as Les Inrockuptibles, because it encompasses everything I’m interested in.

Fashion News Roundup: A Closer Look at Gaga’s Meat Dress, Tavi in the New Yorker, and Nordstrom (Hopefully) Comes to Manhattan

An Expert Analysis of Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress: There may not be a designer name behind it, but these two real life butchers can tell you exactly what types of meat were used. “‘It’s the cheaper end cuts – not including her. You got about $100 of meat there,’ said Mark Cacioppo, 30, of Queens.” This must have been the least expensive outfit Gaga has ever worn–although, the Hello Kitty and Kermit the Frog dresses might have been comparable. {NY Daily News}

Kate Moss Plays a Hindu Goddess: KM3D-1 (which stands for Kate Moss in 3D, we guess) is a film directed by Ballie Walsh that will premiere in London tomorrow. Based on these few behind-the-scenes snapshots, it seems to be a film about Kate Moss looking amazing, in 3-D. {NOWNESS}


The Constant Analysis of Tavi Will Not Stop: There is an eight-page profile on Tavi Gevinson in the New Yorker. {New Yorker}


A Real Nordstrom in Manhattan? Nordstrom is probably opening a Manhattan flagship within the next two years. As a Seattle-native and life-long Nordstrom devotee, I am freaking out and need this to happen. {WWD}


Behind the Scenes: Emily Weiss, who you might remember as the Teen Vogue super intern who intimated the hell out of Lauren and Whitney on The Hills, launched a beauty blog that features lots of good behind-the-scenes fashion week stuff. {Into The Gloss}



A New Zealander in New York:
Karen Walker showed her SS ’11 collection this morning in Manhattan, but the designer actually hails from down under. When she is in New York, her favorite spots to visit include Soho Grand and Steven Alan Annex (for kidswear). {Refinery29}


Speaking of Kid’s Clothes, Stella McCartney is launching a kids line, along with a new website. Weirdly, the advertising campaign was shot by Ryan McGinley, who is perhaps best known for shooting photographs and short films of naked, drugged-up teenagers. {Stellamccartneykids.com}

We Need, We Want, We Have to Have: Tweed and Texture

Women’s fashion is cyclical, and this cycle is dedicated to menswear-inspired designs. As suckers for any type of boyfriend blazer, trouser pant, cargo or button down, this makes us happy. What also makes us happy are the rich fabrics and textures associated with menswear. Camel blazer? Yes, please. A tweed mini? Hand it over. We’ve roundup up a selection of our favorite tweedy, textured pieces for fall. What nubbly item are you after?

The Skirt Suit

We love suits, but a skirt suit is particularly special—it’s sexy and authoritative at once. Rebecca Taylor’s ode to Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel—aptly named her “9 to 5” jacket and skirt—is made from a rich bouclé wool tweed. The twist? It’s trimmed in black lace and chiffon, adding something soft to something structured.


The Boy Blazer

Now a wardrobe staple, the boy blazer balances out a flowing blouse or dresses up a pair of skinny jeans. Ralph Lauren Black Label’s “Daryn” Tweed Hacking Jacket is the most perfect, refined boyfriend blazer for fall 2010. We’ll wear it with a pair of dark denim jeans and boots, or lace-up oxfords. Our favorite part? The patched elbows–so old school.


The Rain Boot

Wellies are a tricky item. They are functional, but not always very pretty. However, the minute one begins experimenting with crazy colors or patterns, they become a burden, not a joy, to strap on. Enter Chooka’s signature herringbone rain boot. A standard, can’t go wrong black with herringbone tweed detailing. They add interest without clashing.


The Sweater Jacket

We invested in leather leggings for fall, and the only thing we really want to throw over them is a long sweater jacket. DvF’s “Setta” version has a bit more shape than most, with a nice big collar and lovely leather trimming. We’ll wear it with our leggings and a soft t-shirt.


The Short

Shorts were a huge story for spring and summer, and that trend will continue on through fall. What’s better than the tweed version? We’ll pair ours with thick tights and lace-up brogues. Or maybe a pair of boots. Sanctuary’s version boasts rolled, tabbed, hems–just like your favorite summer khakis.


Viva la tweed!

Graeme Armour and Lulu Frost at Milk

Graeme Armour


Milk studios during fashion week is Alice in Wonderland, sorta. Or maybe Narnia. Either way, it’s snow globes of worlds all under the same roof, contained, separate, unexpected.


On Monday morning, Graeme Armour and Lulu Frost were perfect examples of Milk’s pocket realms: the two presentations shared a start time and address, but beyond that? Not much.


Graeme Armour was a frosty, futuristic dream with nods to OpArt and famous villains (or at least I’m assuming, as a “Deville” dress was followed by a “Cruella” dress, and the “Norman” trouser was followed by “Bates” pant). Almost all looks were bold black and white, some (like the Cruella) with graphic print tails that seemed oddly sinister.


But drama was to be expected from Armour, a Scot who credits the country’s lack of sun as well as his apprenticeship at Alexander McQueen as inspirations. Even the models in uncomfortable looking updos raced down the mini runway, almost aggressively, as the photographers begged them to slow down. Was it intentional? Perhaps. This was a conceptual presentation, not one intended for retail mass market. But it was every bit as cool as it was cold.


After Armour, walking across the hallway and stepping over the threshold to Lulu Frost meant tumbling down an entirely different rabbit hole. Accessories designer Lisa Salzer’s world was anything but icy: models lounged on oriental rugs scattered amidst leather trunks, record players, and wooden crates. Editors swilled champagne (it was noon) and swayed to the crooning of the Storms while admiring the set design and the vintage fashions from Amarcord.


Lulu Frost

And the jewels? Incredible. I haven’t wanted a sparkling hair accessory since my last trip to Claire’s in the 7th grade, but designer Salzer changed my mind. Like all the Lulu Frost pieces, it was eclecticism as its best: turquoise, silver, and Bakelite mixed together, then stirred with love with rescued pieces from flea markets. As in the bracelets and necklaces, the key ingredient was the quill, which lent a western pioneer vibe to Salzer’s deco base. The model wearing the headpiece even laughed as I eyed it and my smile crept in at the corners.

Thankfully she was at the right presentation for that– a few doors down, she might’ve lost her job.

Sugar and Spice at Elise Øverland

Sugar and spice, and all that’s nice, that’s what Elise Øverland‘s girls are made of.

It was no surprise to see plenty of leather on Øverland’s runway for her Spring/Summer 2010 show–she’s known for her bad ass leather shells and minis. But for spring she softened her tough black leather tops, shorts, dresses and jumpsuits with white lace blouses, and flowy short silk skirts and dresses in vivid blues and chartreuse. Øverland’s tiered mini dresses, in lace, in leather, in soft gray prints, in shades of blue silk with caplets, were the most successful.


More surprising than Øverland’s relatively sparing use of leather for her spring collection, was model Hahn-Bin, a renowned Korean violinist who walked down the runway in a tiered leather skirt, royal blue silk top, while playing his violin. At the end of the runway he stopped for longer than the usual beat models give photographers to get their shot, finished his song to the applause of a front row that included Nicky Hilton, Kelly Osbourne, Amanda Hearst and other assorted socialites, and walked back down the runway like any other model.

J’adore Chris Benz

Chris Benz’s SS11 presentation hit every right note.

Inside the Rubenstein Atrium across from Lincoln center The Beach Boys and Simon and Garfunkel played and Breathless‘s opening scene was projected behind the models while they danced and chatted. Inspired by the je ne sais quoi of an American traveling abroad to Paris, Chris Benz showed a collection that was sixties inspired with all of Benz’s signature styles.


Thinking about “everyone’s fantasy of being picked up by a cute boy in the back of a vespa and whizzing off and that freewheeling spirit,” Mr. Benz told us. He showed a collection that, while floral, was not for wallflowers. Chris’ sherbet colors mixed with brights and neons, while floral prints added dimension, particularly on a pair of blue-hued pants with matching Alejandro Ingelmo for Chris Benz shoes that both Julia and I were head over heels for. Lauren swooned over the pale yellow leather drawstring skirt, the sibling of Chris’ favorite piece, the electric blue leather dress, “I love the material–that funny lambskin,” he said.


There were plenty of separates in the form of tie neck blouses, pleated minis, and a few show stopping, flowing dresses. Everyone at the presentation was all smiles, including J. Crew creative director and Chris’ former boss, Jenna Lyons, who happily posed with the designer while pointing out her favorite pieces. If there were ever to be a Chris Benz x J. Crew collaboration, Fashionista would be the first girls on line.
